In addition, early onset with initial involvement of a leg is also considered an important indicator suggesting eventual progression to generalized dystonia.
The broader term early onset generally refers to dystonia that develops before age 21; however, the late twenties have also been suggested to be early onset.

Early onset disease was associated with strong allergic responses, but less eosinophilic inflammation than late onset disease.
Late onset asthma had tissue eosinophilia in a greater percentage of subjects and, despite a shorter duration of disease, worse lung function than early onset disease.
Finally, late onset disease without eosinophils did not demonstrate the subepithelial basement membrane thickening associated with asthma, suggesting it may be a different disease entirely.

 Onset Village - UrbanPlanet.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
ONSET -- One of the best-preserved Victorian beach resorts in the country, Onset long has been known as "The Gateway to Cape Cod." Word is getting around, however, that the village, which has a unique history and one of the state's finest ocean beaches, is also a great destination in its own right.
The core of the village is a 150-acre tract acquired in 1877 by the Onset Bay Grove Association, a group of Boston businessmen who wanted to create a spiritualist summer resort.
A beloved Onset summer custom, dating from its 19th-century heyday, is Illumination Night, when more than 1,200 flares are placed at intervals on the beach all around the harbor and are lit simultaneously.

 || DukeMedNews || Duke Researchers Identify Age at Onset Genes for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases
The age of onset of Alzheimer's disease is generally considered the time at which an individual begins to suffer short-term memory loss or disorientation in a manner serious enough to interfere with daily activities.
The average age at onset for individuals in the study with Alzheimer's disease was 72.8 years old and 60.1 years old for Parkinson's disease.
Researchers also found evidence for age at onset linkage to chromosomes 4 and 8, however, the linkage was not as statistically significant.

Generally speaking, the EMG onsets can be determined qualitatively by simply examining the EMG plots visually, or quantitatively by a computer code.
To determine the onset of EMG quantitatively by computer, one should first find a segment of the data set which is the quietest.
Lastly, the identification of an onset point is based on two conditions: the point must be above the threshold level and stay above the threshold level for a certain amount of time.

 || DukeMedNews || Gene Controls Age at Onset of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases
Such genes that can impact patients' age at onset for the two very prevalent neurological disorders are of particular interest as alternative targets for treatment, said Margaret Pericak-Vance, Ph.D., director of the Duke Center for Human Genetics.
Drugs that delay the onset of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diseases beyond the normal human lifespan would effectively prevent them in patients at risk for the disorders, she added.
The team reports their findings in the Dec. 15, 2003, issue (available online Oct. 21) of Human Molecular Genetics and will present the work as a keynote paper at the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics, which will be held Nov. 4-8, in Los Angeles.

 Antibiotic regimens for suspected late onset sepsis in newborn infants
The incidence of late onset sepsis increases with both decreasing birthweight and gestational age, and has been reported as occurring in approximately 25% of VLBW infants (Stoll 2002; Rubin 2002; Isaacs 1996).
Furthermore, the majority of pathogens associated with fulminant late onset sepsis (lethal within 48 hours) have been shown to be gram negative organisms with pseudomonas leading the table (Karlowicz 2000; Gordon 2004 (a)).
The definition of late onset sepsis varies between trials and for the purpose of this review we will not include those infants commenced on antibiotics prior to 48 hours of age as the type of organisms and method of transmission of infection differ.

With the ability to precisely determine the onset of estrus, the optimal time for artificial insemination (AI) should be determined.
Time of insemination after the onset of estrus did not influence pregnancy rate (Figure 1; P>0.10; numbers above the bars are the percentages pregnant, numbers in bars are the numbers of heifers per treatment).
In this study pregnancy rate was similar for heifers inseminated 1 to 4, 16 to 20 or 32 to 36 h after the onset of estrus.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a medically unexplained illness characterized by new onset of fatigue that produces some degree of disability as well as a wide variety of accompanying symptoms.
Comparisons of birth order for all CFS patients, sudden onset and gradual onset CFS groups, were examined, respectively, in regard to the U.S. reference population (see Table 1).
Gender was also not associated with onset type (chi^sup 2^ = 0.49, df = 1, p = 0.48), with females comprising 78.8% of the gradual and 75% of the sudden onset groups.

Lead author William K. Scott, PhD, of Duke University and his colleagues observed associations between a region of chromosome 2 and earlier onset of Alzheimer’s disease, a region of chromosome 9 and late onset of the disease, and a region of chromosome 15 and very late disease onset.
The investigators determined the average age at onset and the minimum age of onset in each family.
The families were ordered into subsets on four different continuums (1) lowest to highest average age at onset, (2) highest to lowest average age at onset, (3) lowest to highest minimum age at onset, and (4) highest to lowest minimum age at onset.

 Journal of Vision - Memory for initial position: A Fröhlich Effect or an Onset Repulsion Effect?, by Hubbard & ...
In the current experiments, a computer-animated horizontally or vertically moving target was presented, and after the target vanished, observers indicated the remembered initial position or remembered final position of the target.
Experiments 1 and 2 extended previous studies (Hubbard & Motes, 2002) in which an Onset Repulsion Effect was exhibited with slow velocities; Experiment 1 presented much faster velocities, and Experiment 2 added an surrounding window adjacent to the trailing edge of the target's initial position and leading edge of the target's final position.
Whether a Fröhlich effect or Onset Repulsion Effect is exhibited may also reflect dynamic aspects of memory, and so Experiment 3 varied whether observers indicated remembered initial position before or after indicating remembered final position.

 Early bipolar onset predicts clinical features   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Early onset of bipolar illness appears to be related to the development of rapid cycling and comorbid substance abuse or dependence, say researchers in findings that support the predictive use of age at bipolar onset for disease outcome.
In all, 26 (46%) participants had experienced the onset of bipolar disorder before the age of 19 years.
Moreover, these patients with early onset of bipolar illness were 7.71 times more likely to develop comorbid substance abuse and dependence than patients who developed the disorder after the age of 19 years.
