background whiplash patients regard cervicogenic headache (ceh) as the most burdensome symptom of their condition. sufferers experience a significant degree of disability from headache, associated neck pain and disability, and sleep disturbance. lateral c1/2 joint pulsed radiofrequency (prf) treatment has been shown to produce significant relief from headache in patients with ceh. objectives th...

BACKGROUND Although many clinicians know about the reducing effects of the pulsed and low-dose modes for fluoroscopic radiation when performing interventional procedures, few studies have quantified the reduction of radiation-absorbed doses (RADs). The aim of this study is to compare how much the RADs from a fluoroscopy are reduced according to the C-arm fluoroscopic modes used. METHODS We me...

Common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), produce a wide variety of vocal emissions for communication and echolocation, of which the pulsed repertoire has been the most difficult to categorize. Packets of high repetition, broadband pulses are still largely reported under a general designation of burst-pulses, and traditional attempts to classify these emissions rely mainly in their aural...

The treatment of nocturnal asthma remains a challenge. We investigated the use of a pulsed-released albuterol in ten patients with nocturnal symptoms of asthma. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover designed study, we tested the use of 8 mg of pulsed-release albuterol sulfate (Proventil Repetabs) vs placebo. The pulsed-release albuterol significantly blunted the overnight...

In an effort to meet an ever increasing demand for more accurate and realistic integrated photonics simulations, we have developed a multidimensional, nonlinear finite difference time domain (NL-FDTD) Maxwe11's equations olver. The NL-FDTD approach and its application to the modeling of the interaction of an ultrashort, optical pulsed Gaussian beam with a Kerr nonlinear material will be describ...

Helicobacter pylori causes persistent infection of the stomach and results in chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers. Jaws II cells, derived from mouse bone marrow, were pulsed with live or formalin-killed or whole-cell sonicates (WCS) of H. pylori. Representative cell surface molecules were expressed at substantial levels on Jaws II cells, indicating that appropriate maturation of the cells was a...

-This paper proposes a low-power and area-efficient shift register using digital pulsed latches. The area and power consumption are reduced by replacing flip-flops with pulsed latches. This method solves the timing problem between pulsed latches through the use of multiple non-overlap delayed pulsed clock signals instead of the conventional single pulsed clock signal. The shift register uses a ...
