Although in this section we have focused on problems that can be encountered in single-crystal structure determination by X-ray diffraction, and it is important to be aware of such problems, in the majority of cases the method is straightforward and problems are fortunately exceptions rather than the rule.

The discovery of the binary (Yb,Ca)-Cd i-QCs [19] was a remarkable milestone in the history of QCs. The reasons are apparent they offered unique opportunities for structural analyses as they exhibited negligible chemical disorder, probably because of the large differences in the chemical crystallography of the components, in contrast to more common problems with ternary intermetallics. In addition, they also represented new (Tsai) types of AC cores and of i-QCs with a structural motif different from those of the Mackay and Bergman types (above) that were better known at the time. Without doubt, such a breakthrough discovery must lead to an era of related chemical explorations or tunings. Actually, almost all of the i-QC systems developed since 2000 are Tsai types [28,29], including our own additions (below). 

Conners Parent Questionnaire. Conners Parent Questionnaire (PQ) is a 94-item checklist of symptoms that evaluates common behavior disorders using a four-point scale in children up to 15 years of age and takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete. It is used once pretreatment and may be repeated but is often replaced after the first use by the 11-item Conners Parent-Teacher Questionnaire (PTQ). There are eight subscales conduct problem, anxiety, impulsive-hyperactive, learning problem, psychosomatic, perfectionism, antisocial, and muscular tension. 

Major depression is one of the most common mental disorders. It has a lifetime prevalence of 17% in the general population, and a current prevalence of 4.9%, constituting a significant public health problem (Blazer et al. 1994). It is characterized by intense sadness and cognitive impairments most notable in concentration, worry, pessimism, and lowered self-esteem (American Psychiatric Association 1994). Interpersonal relationships may suffer and social withdrawal occurs. Physio-... 

Other Symptoms. Although they are not reflected in the DSM-IV criteria, it now appears that mood and cognitive symptoms also hinder the patient with schizophrenia. Depressed mood, often short of the duration or severity needed to diagnose major depression or schizoaffective disorder, is an all too common problem. Because the negative symptoms of the illness and certain antipsychotic side effects resemble depression, this was long overlooked. Indeed, depressed mood may in part explain the extremely high rates of attempted and successful suicides by those with schizophrenia. 

A wide range of sleep disturbances has been documented in PD (Larsen, 2001). In a population-based survey of sleep disorders in PD, Tandberg et ah (1998) reported nocturnal sleeping problems in 60% of PD patients compared to 33% in healthy controls and 46% in elderly with diabetes mellitus. The most common problem reported was sleep fragmentation, which was found in 39% of PD and only 12% of normal elderly controls, whereas inability to fall asleep did not differ between the groups. 

Assignment of a drug to the sedative-hypnotic class indicates that it is able to cause sedation (with concomitant relief of anxiety) or to encourage sleep. Because there is considerable chemical variation within the group, this drug classification is based on clinical uses rather than on similarities in chemical structure. Anxiety states and sleep disorders are common problems, and sedative-hypnotics are widely prescribed drugs worldwide. 

In this chapter, we have looked at two topics in cognitive enhancement attention and memory. We have first reviewed the role of dopamine and norepinephrine/ noradrenaline in the neuropharmacology of attention, and then the syndrome of attention deficit disorder as a common problem associated with a disorder of attention. We then discussed the use of stimulants for improving attention, primarily in attention deficit disorder, and reviewed the pharmacological mechanisms of action of methylphenidate, d and 1 amphetamine, pemoline, and secondary therapies such as clonidine and guanfacine. 

This behavior resembles the law in semiconductors where y = 1, but the decay is slower, y < 1 commonly, y 0.25. As in metals, the number of charge carriers is constant. In the factors that determine conductivity, tj = ne(x the temperature dependence comes from the mobility x. Accounting for the temperature behavior o-(T) is a very delicate task since many different processes can give rise to the observed law. The difficult problem is to obtain the appropriate model for the case in question. The various possible processes have one common feature disorder plays a leading role. 

Q2 Constipation is a condition in which faecal material moves too slowly through the large intestine. As a result too much water is reabsorbed hard, dry faeces which are difficult to move and very abrasive are produced. Infrequent or difficult defecation is a common problem in the elderly as ageing is associated with a decline in both secretory activity and motility in the gut. Constipation could develop because of emotional problems, inactive or sedentary lifestyle, lack of fibre and fluid in the diet, intestinal muscle weakness, a neurogenic disorder or an iatrogenic effect. Iatrogenic conditions are those caused by drugs or other medical treatments. 

Disorders of the muscular system can be due to ge-netie, hormonal, infectious, autoimmune, poisonous, or caneerous causes. But the most common problem associated with this system is injury from misuse. Skeletal muscle sprains and tears cause excess blood to seep into the tissue in order to heal it. The remaining scar tissue leads to a slightly shorter muscle. Muscular impairment and cramping can result from a diminished blood supply. Cramping can be due to overexertion. Poor blood supply to the heart muscle causes chest pain called angina pectoris. And inadequate ionic supplies of calcium, sodium, or potassium can adversely effect most muscle cells. 

Nabumetone is a naproxen derivative, whose efficacy is related to its active metabolite, 6-methoxy-2-naphthyla-cetic acid. Not unexpectedly, a study in 2000 patients, mostly treated for more than 6 months, ehcited an adverse events pattern similar to the other derivatives of this class of NSAIDs (SEDA-13, 81). Adverse effects were reported in 18% of patients and 10% stopped taking the drug because of adverse reactions. Diarrhea was the most common problem (13%) followed by abdominal pain (9.9%), dyspepsia (9.3%), nausea (7.8%), and flatulence (4.7%). Ten ulcers were detected. Nervous system reactions, skin rashes, edema, unspecified eye disorders, and liver function test abnormahties aU occur (1). 

Problems with the gastrointestinal system can be vomiting, ingesting toxins, diarrhea, constipation, peptic ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Each is treatable with the proper medication.

Athletes are at risk of a vast number of common skin disorders which may be specific to themselves or unique to a particular sport. Dermatological problems of athletes are a result of mechanical trauma, cutaneous infections, contact dermatitis, and physical and environmental factors. 

Psychogenic food intolerance can be due to simple distaste or to overt phobia. We have applied the term pseudo-food allergy to a clinical syndrome in which patients with common psychiatric disorders come to attribute their problems to food allergy in the absence of any objective evidence of organic intolerance. Patients have also been described who have deliberately simulated allergic manifestations in themselves or their children Munchausen s syndrome and Munchausen s syndrome by proxy (Hendrix et al, 1981).
