Neuropsychiatry of hypersexuality.

CNS spectrums

Stein DJ, Hugo F, Oosthuizen P, Hawkridge SM, van Heerden B.
PMID: 18311099
CNS Spectr. 2000 Jan;5(1):36-46. doi: 10.1017/s1092852900012657.

Relatively few studies of the psychobiology of hypersexuality have been undertaken. Nevertheless, the literature does suggest the possibility of a neurobiology of hypersexuality. Three cases of hypersexual behavior are presented in the context of neuropsychiatric disorders, and the literature...

Subendocardial fibrosis in left ventricular hypertrabeculation-cause or consequence?.

Clinical Medicine Insights. Cardiology

Ker J, Du Toit-Prinsloo L, Van Heerden WF, Saayman G.
PMID: 21344021
Clin Med Insights Cardiol. 2011 Feb 02;5:13-6. doi: 10.4137/CMC.S6507.

Left ventricular noncompaction has been classified as a primary cardiomyopathy with a genetic origin. This condition is morphologically characterized by a thickened, two-layered myocardium with numerous prominent trabeculations and deep, intertrabecular recesses. Recently, it has become clear that these...

The concept of validity.

Psychological review

Psychol Rev. 2004 Oct;111(4):1061-71. doi: 10.1037/0033-295X.111.4.1061.

This article advances a simple conception of test validity: A test is valid for measuring an attribute if (a) the attribute exists and (b) variations in the attribute causally produce variation in the measurement outcomes. This conception is shown...

Reduction of dark chilling stress in N-fixing soybean by nitrate as indicated by chlorophyll a fluorescence kinetics.

Physiologia plantarum

Van Heerden PD, Strasser RJ, Krüger GH.
PMID: 15153191

Immunocompromised patients, including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), HIV, and malnourished patients, are at increased risk for viral infections with high incidences of morbidity and mortality. In HSCT patients, the infection risk is increased until immune reconstitution is re-established....
