The Rasmussen numbers moved a tick toward President Obama, but it's just not worth making much of a one-day shift in a tracking poll (a sustained shift over a week or longer would be more interesting).
In turn, consensus could lead to an upward, sustained shift in global investments into clean technology (CT) and renewable energy (RE), transforming the economics of energy.
More specifically, if patient exposure needs to be increased (i.e., program intensity) to sustain shifts towards positive self-management behaviours seen in what might be considered the early stages of adoption (e.g., 3 months), what are the longer-term costs within the context of sustainability for the patient and, at the same time, within the context of program delivery?
It's a gloriously sustained, constantly shifting piece of irony.
In conclusion, the present study revealed deficits in acquiring, sustaining and shifting attentional set and reversal learning in the SHRs, a genetic animal model of ADHD.
The DMS-IV criteria for delirium are as follows: a disturbance of consciousness with a reduced ability to focus, sustain, or shift attention; a change in cognition (memory, language, or orientation) or the development of a perceptual disturbance not related to dementia; a quick onset that fluctuates during the day; and an underlying physiological problem or medication as the cause [ 4].
Delirium, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, text revised (DSM-IV-TR), is a disturbance of consciousness with reduced ability to focus, sustain or shift attention, a change in cognition or the development of a perceptual disturbance that occurs over a short period of time and tends to fluctuate over the course of the day [ 1].
These advances have shifted the goal of therapy from symptom relief to sustained remission.
It results in an acute disturbance of consciousness (reduced clarity of awareness of the environment), with impaired ability to focus, sustain or shift attention.
The acute syndrome, caused by a disturbance of the cognitive processes in the brain, is characterized by a reduced ability to focus, sustain or shift attention, disorganized thinking or a changed level in consciousness.
