Feys PG, Davies-Smith A, Jones R, Romberg A, Ruutiainen J, Helsen WF, Ketelaer P. Intention tremor rated according to different finger-to-nose test protocols: a survey.
Both the required arm position and time constraints affected the magnitude of intention tremor rating scores (mean rank, 2.27[ndash ]2.95) and their functional relevance ([rho ]=.70[ndash ]=.70[ndash
Objectives: To investigate the dependence of intention tremor rating scores on different finger-to-nose test (FNT) protocols, varying in arm position and the time the finger has to be kept on the nose, and to examine their relevance to function.
In those patients treated with curative intention, CR rates were 51versus59%9 % (Table 3).
In a comparable epidemiological study of adolescents (age 14 - 17 years) within seven European countries, Madge et al. [ 11] found an average lifetime prevalence estimate of 17.8% and a 12-month prevalence of 11.5% for deliberate self-harm behaviours (DSH; includes self-damaging acts both with/out suicidal intention); although rates varied across countries.
AT&T has notified state public utility commissions, which oversee local phone rates, of its intention to raise rates.
Generally, norms, attitudes, perceived behaviour control, and intentions were rated highly, indicating a positive evaluation of the checklist as a tool to improve patient safety in surgery.
Data were collected regarding response rates and attrition for each cohort (with the intention to compare rates between cohorts) but are not reported in detail here.
Executives at the regional Bell companies dismissed the contentions of AT&T, MCI and other rivals that rates will rise, and said again on Thursday that they had no intention of increasing rates before the end of the year.
If the Fed signals its intention to keep rates steady after any action at next Tuesday's meeting, it would encourage long-term interest rates to fall.
