recently, the hypothesis in which memory and information would be stored as magnetic forms in astrocytes is expanding and neuromagnetic interactions between neurons and neighboring astrocytes in neocortex have potential to be the basis of memory formation. it has been proposed that all sorts of information may be maintained in form of neuronal activity-associated magnetic fields (naamfs) and th...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of prenatal alcohol exposure with balance in10-year-old children. DESIGN Population-based prospective longitudinal study. SETTING Former Avon region of UK (Southwest England). PARTICIPANTS 6915 children from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children who had a balance assessment at age 10 and had data on maternal alcohol consumption. OUT...

Variations in the solar wind density introduce variable delays into pulsar timing observations. Current pulsar timing analysis programs only implement simple models of the solar wind, which not only limit the timing accuracy, but can also affect measurements of pulsar rotational, astrometric and orbital parameters. We describe a new model of the solar wind electron density content which uses ob...

Preparing equipment for transport is one of the core aspects that should be considered by transporter. Storing digital evidence requires extensive care in order to prevent damage of electronic evidence. Digital evidence is sensitive to magnetic fields thus it should be stored in the right manner. When documenting evidence, responder should be cautious of things such as temperature, static elect...

A system to measure the topography of the first optical surface of the human eye noninvasively by using a curvature sensor is described. The static corneal topography and the dynamic topography of the tear film can both be measured, and the topographies obtained are presented. The system makes possible the study of the dynamic aberrations introduced by the tear film to determine their contribut...

OBJECTIVE To determine the visual outcome of laser treatment in diabetic retinopathy. DESIGN Prospective, non-comparative case series. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 80 eyes of 50 patients with diabetic retinopathy in different stages were photocoagulated using diode green laser. Focal laser only was given in 46 eyes and pan retinal photocoagulation only was given in 29 eyes while 3 eyes ...

INTRODUCTION With aging, the sensory systems suffer an accumulation of degenerative, infectious and/or traumatic processes that may hinder the body balance maintenance. OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of sensory information on static body balance of elderly individuals with vestibular disorders. METHODS Cross-sectional study of elderly individuals with vestibular disorders. The Clinical T...

This longitudinal study aimed to compare static postural stability in women between early pregnancy, advanced pregnancy, and at 2 and 6 months postpartum. Forty-five pregnant women were enrolled and 31 completed the protocol. Data were collected at 7-16 and 34-39 weeks gestation, and at 6-10 and 26-30 weeks postpartum. For each subject, the center of foot pressure path length and mean velocity ...
