Abstract: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to assess the role of 3D imaging using spiral CT for the detection and evaluation of early gastric carcinoma (EGC).

METHOD: Thirty-one patients with EGC underwent 3D and axial imaging using spiral CT, and all cases were confirmed at surgery. According to the pathologic specimens, one patient (3.2%) had type, I., five (16.1%) had type IIb, 13 (42.0%) had type IIc, three (9.6%) had types IIc+IIb, three (9.6%) had types IIc+III, two (6.5%) had types IIa+IIc, two (6.5%) had types IIb+IIc, and two (6.5%) had types IIb+III. Spiral CT was first performed with 3 mm collimation, 4.5 mm/s table feed, and a 1 mm reconstruction interval in the supine position after intravenous injection of Buscopan and ingestion of gas. The 3D shaded surface display renderings were performed, analyzed, and graded as excellent, good, or poor. Axial CT scanning was performed with 5 mm collimation, 7 mm/s table feed, and a 5 mm reconstruction interval in the prone position after ingestion of water.

RESULTS: With use of axial CT images, 20 of 31 tumors (64.5%) were detected. Tumors were suspected in two cases, but nine were not detected. With use of 3D images, 29 of 31 tumors (93.5%) were detected (p < 0.05). of the 31 cases of EGG, excellent 3D images were obtained in 6 patients (19.3%), good 3D images in 21 (67.7%), and poor 3D images in 2 (6.5%). In the two cases with poor images, the tumor was confined to the mucosal layer and the types were EGC IIc+IIb. In the remaining two cases (6.5%), the tumors were not detected by 3D images. In one case, the tumor was confined to the mucosal layer, and in the other it was located in the pyloric antrum. Both tumors were EGC type IIc. The two cases not detected by 3D imaging were also not detected by axial CT scanning. Conclusion: The detection rate of EGC is higher using 3D imaging than axial CT scan alone.

Abstract: As the cognitive neurosciences set out to challenge our understanding of consciousness, the existing conceptual panoply of meanings attached to the term remains largely unaccounted for. By way of bibliometric analysis, the following study first reveals the breadth and shift of meanings over the last decades, the main tendency being a more ‘brainy’ concept of consciousness. On this basis, the emergence of consciousness studies is regarded as a ‘trading zone’ (Galison) in which experimental, philosophical and experiential accounts are dialectically engaged. Outside of academic discourse, a neurocognitive concept of consciousness is embraced by popular self-help literature that sweepingly adopts this new discourse and the novel neuropharmacological tools in the self-help toolbox. Consciousness studies are hence not only the product of epistemological and methodological struggles (scientific dimension) but also part of the current re-alignments regarding the notion of consciously acting selves in society (societal dimension).

Abstract: This study examined the potential link between housing quality and mental health. First, the development of a psychometrically sound, observer-based instrument to assess physical housing quality in ways conceptually relevant to psychological health is reported. Then 2 different studies, including a prospective longitudinal design, demonstrate that physical housing quality predicts mental health. Possible underlying psychosocial processes for the housing quality-psychological distress link are discussed.

Abstract: This article analyzes citation data for over 7000 articles published in the Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, and Journal of Consumer Research between 1936 and the end of 2009 to address five questions relating to the history of consumer research: What types of articles have been influential in consumer research? Does consumer research have sleeping beauties and shooting stars? How do consumer researchers achieve impact? Has consumer research become more or less influential over time? And finally, how much do older articles inform current consumer research?’ (C) 2010 Society for Consumer Psychology. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
