Upsitting
Definition:
(n.) A sitting up of a woman after her confinement, to receive and entertain her friends.
Example Sentences:
(1) Pearson correlation coefficients (rs) were computed among all independent combinations and permutations of the four 10-item UPSIT booklets using data from 774 subjects.

(3) Smell can be evaluated with a combination of butanol threshold and odor identification (University of Connecticut test battery) and with the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT).
(4) To objectively evaluate the sense of smell and taste, this study used the University of Pennsylvania Identification Test (UPSIT), a 40-item "scratch-n-sniff" test and a 20-item taste test using the four basic taste sensations of sweet, salt, sour, and bitter.
(5) Correlations with MR-derived indices of CSF volume showed a highly significant relationship between UPSIT scores and cortical sulcal volumes.
(6) Individual profiles of preserved and impaired performance on the UPSIT and WCST suggested that three schizophrenic patients had OF dysfunction, five had DL dysfunction and seven had a generalized (OF and DL) frontal system dysfunction.
(7) Thirty-two percent of the alcoholics' UPSIT scores, in comparison to five percent of the controls' scores, fell into the clinically impaired range.
(8) To ascertain the generality of a sex difference noted in odor identification ability, the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) was administered to four groups of subjects: Black Americans (n = 438), White Americans (n = 1559), Korean Americans (n = 106), and Native Japanese (n = 308).
(9) Overall, these results indicate that (1) the UPSIT and its 10-, 20-, and 30-item fragments have very high ICRs and (2) individual UPSIT booklets or their combinations can be used to assess smell function in a reliable manner where extreme time constraints are present (e.g., in surveys and in brief neuropsychological test batteries).
