The complex computations of the brain require a constant supply of blood flow to meet its immense metabolic needs. Perturbations in blood supply, even in the smallest vascular networks, can have a profound effect on neuronal function and cognition. Type 1 diabetes is a prevalent and insidious metabolic disorder that progressively and…[Read more]

obliteration of the chronic dissection flap to fully exclude the aneurysm and avoid retrograde false lumen perfusion.

Aortic graft infection (AGI) is a rare but devastating complication requiring both explant of the infected prosthesis and lower extremity revascularization. Despite a variety of methods to treat AGI, there is a paucity of…[Read more]

5 at room temperature and it would further increase to 2 when temperature elevates to 400 K. Finally, we demonstrate that doping with tetracyanoquinodimethane can change the sign of the Seebeck coefficients by forming a charge-transfer system with the DPP.Computer simulation approaches in biomolecular recognition processes have come a long way. In…[Read more]

GP64 is the key membrane fusion protein of Group I baculovirus, and while the Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) GP64 contains a longer n-region (18 amino acid) of the signal peptide than does the Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), the function of the n-region has not been determined. In this study, we first…[Read more]

ether vitamin C supplementation can alleviate or even prevent post-operative cognitive complications.

Neuropsychologists labor over scoring the Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT), a measure of visuospatial functioning and nonverbal memory. Compelling arguments suggest that pathognomonic signs of the RCFT are observable to the “naked eye.” Standard…[Read more]

It was difficult to diagnose Cryptococcus-induced NF and paradoxical IRIS. Cooperation from other specialists was essential.

We think this patient needed earlier and more definitive debridement. Fortunately, we were able to save the patient’s life and maintain his LE function. In immunocompromised patients, cryptococcus can be a pathogen.…[Read more]

Functional assessments demonstrate that sEVs from rASCs on microgrooved substrates enhance the angiogenic properties of Human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The findings demonstrate that substrate topography is an effective regulator of the sEVs secretion by rASCs and highlight the potential of using microgrooved substrates as a platform to…[Read more]

We aimed to determine whether combined assessments of single movement tasks could predict falls in community dwelling people with stroke and it was more precision than the berg balance Scale consists of 14 movements.

This prospective cohort study performed at five rehabilitation hospitals in Japan. Participants comprised 78 patients with…[Read more]

AHI [M(Q1,Q3)] was 26.1 (10.9,40.1) events/h by HSAT, 27.9 (11.3,43.2) events/h by in-lab PM, both were not different from AHI 29.0 (10.2,45.0) events/h by PSG (P>0.05). The AHI, OAI and CAI assessed by HSAT correlated significantly with those by PSG (r=0.892, 0.903, 0.831, P less then 0.05). Bland-Altman analysis of AHI, OAI, CAI by PSG versus…[Read more]

The study reported in the present paper aimed to evaluate the effective energy (Eeff) of X-rays emitted from the surface of a bare X-ray probe and from different spherical applicators with various diameters, which are widely employed for low kV intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) of breast cancer. A previously validated Monte Carlo model of the…[Read more]
