Specific procedures designed to aid 0015 in this detection can be useful additions to standard assessment 0016 protocols. The present study investigates the potential utility of a 0017 modification of the forced-choice, symptom validity paradigm to the 0018 assessment of memory deficits. Previous research indicated that the 0019 procedure could discriminate between college students instructed to 0020 malinger memory impairment and college students instructed to perform at 0021 their best ability. The present study administered a forced-choice memory 0022 assessment instrument to 60 psychiatric patients, 60 normal community 0023 volunteers, and 60 neuropsychotogical patients. Thirty psychiatric 0024 patients and 30 community volunteers were given instructions to malinger. 0025 Discriminant function analyses yielded an overall correct group 0026 classification rate of 90.6%, with 5% of the nonmalingering subjects and 0027 18.3% of the experimental malingerers incorrectly classified. 0028 AD - Department of Behavioral Medicine & Psychiatry, USA 0029 FAU - Iverson, G L 0030 AU - Iverson GL 0031 FAU - Franzen, M D 0032 AU - Franzen MD 0033 FAU - McCracken, L M 0034 AU - McCracken LM 0035 LA - eng 0036 PT - Journal Article 0037 PL - United States 0038 TA - Arch Clin Neuropsychol 0039 JID - 9004255 0040 EDAT- 2003/11/01 05:00 0041 MHDA- 2003/11/01 05:00 0042 AID - 088761779490006X [pii] 0043 PST - ppublish 0044 SO - Arch Clin Neuropsychol 1994 Oct;9(5):437-50. 0045 PMID- 14582793 0046 UI - 22943894 0047 OWN - NLM 0048 STAT- in-process 0049 DA - 20031029 0050 IS - 1042-7260 0051 VI - 34 0052 IP - 3 0053 DP - 2003 Sep 0054 TI - Adult-onset hypothyroidism in a lynx (Lynx canadensis). 0055 PG - 287-91 0056 AB - A 19-yr-old female lynx (Lynx canadensis) presented for an acute onset of 0057 anorexia and reluctance to move. Physical examination, radiography, 0058 hematology, and serum biochemistry revealed evidence of renal failure, 0059 presumptive uremic gastritis, chronic intervertebral disk disease at 0060 T13-L1, and markedly low serum levels of total thyroxine (1.54 nmol/L) and 0061 total triixodothyronine (0.55 nmol/L). Twenty-five hours after its 0062 original presentation, the lynx exhibited horizontal nystagmus, which has 0063 been suggested as a clinical sign associated with hypothyroidism in 0064 domestic dogs. The lynx was euthanatized because of poor prognosis, and 0065 medical management concerns related to its chronic renal failure. Necropsy 0066 examination substantiated that the lynx had true hypothyroidism with 0067 60-90% of the thyroid gland replaced with adipose tissue. Although feline 0068 adult-onset hypothyroidism may have low incidence, it should still be 0069 considered as a cause of nonspecific signs of disease in cats, as well as 0070 signs suggestive of hypothyroidism. Routine monitoring of baseline exotic 0071 felid thyroid levels throughout life would help to identify normal values 0072 and diagnose a potential disease that has obscure clinical signs. 0073 AD - Department of Comparative Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, 0074 University of Tennessee, Knox- ville, Tennessee 37901-1071, USA. 0075 FAU - Greer, Leah L 0076 AU - Greer LL 0077 FAU - Troutman, Mitchell 0078 AU - Troutman M 0079 FAU - McCracken, Malcolm D 0080 AU - McCracken MD 0081 FAU - Ramsay, Edward C 0082 AU - Ramsay EC 0083 LA - eng 0084 PT - Journal Article 0085 PL - United States 0086 TA - J Zoo Wildl Med 0087 JID - 8915208 0088 SB - IM 0089 EDAT- 2003/10/30 05:00 0090 MHDA- 2003/10/30 05:00 0091 PST - ppublish 0092 SO - J Zoo Wildl Med 2003 Sep;34(3):287-91.
