Oxidative damage has been suggested as a potential mechanism for both atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease.' One report has noted a 2-5-fold increased risk of cardiovascular disease among patients with Parkinson's disease,2 suggesting that a common genetic variant may contribute to both diseases. One such candidate genetic factor, the ApoE-E4 allele, is fo...

objective neuromuscular characteristics in down syndrome result in generalized muscular hypotonia, developmental delays and sensory integration deficits. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of simultaneous sensory stimulations and current occupational therapy approaches on motor functions development of infants with down syndrome. materials & methods eighteen infants with down synd...

there are several sources for pressure oscillations in solid propellant rocket motors. oscillatory flow field is one of them. free shear layers in motor flow field cause vortex shedding. end edges of propellant grains and baffle edge in two-segmented motors are samples of such zones. these vortices move from their forming points and strike the field walls. the kinetic energy of vortices change ...

conclusions when itbs was applied over the primary motor cortex, it significantly improved manual dexterity, but had no significant effect on the hand motor imagery ability in ms patients. results itbs group showed a reduction in the time required to complete the 9hpt (mean difference = -3.05, p = 0.002), and an increase in the number of blocks transferred in one minute in the bbt (mean differe...
