The relationship between the degree and distribution of hippocampal atrophy measured by volumetric magnetic resonance imaging and severity of memory deficits in 25 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy secondary to mesial temporal sclerosis was assessed. Hippocampal volumes were expressed as a ratio of smaller to larger, normal ratio greater than 0.95. Neuropsychology tests included: subtests of...

The consumption of a specifically prepared silk fibroin protein enzymatic hydrolysate (FPEH) has been reported to improve cognitive function in healthy humans. The objective of the current study is to evaluate the dose-dependent effects of the FPEH on memory. Healthy adults with an average age of approximately 55 years were administered doses of 0, 280, 400 and 600 mg of FPEH per day in two div...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of soybean-derived phosphatidylserine (SB-PS) (300 mg/day) in improving cognitive performance in elderly with memory complaints, following a short duration of 12 weeks' SB-PS administration. METHODS SB-PS was administered daily for 12 weeks to 30 elderly volunteers with memory complaints (age range 50-90 years). Cognitive performance was determine...

The rare earth elements and yttrium (REY)-enriched phosphorites in the Zhijin region, southwest China, have attracted much attention, yet its origin has not been sufficiently addressed. geology, mineralogy geochemistry of samples from four sections early Cambrian age region were studied to attain redox condition REY. Data situ analysis show that REY are mainly contained francolite, two types fr...

Flow-induced biaxiality is simulated for a uniaxial discotic nematic liquid crystal subjected to a constant uniaxial, isothermal, incompressible, irrotational, extensional, three dimensional flow, using a previously presented model [Singh A-Pand Rey A D., J Phys. II

Deep-sea sediments generally refer to the distributed on seafloor with a depth of more than 2000 m. Many rare earth elements and yttrium (REY)-rich were recently discovered in sea area Minamitorishima Island, Northwest Pacific. To understand material source REY enrichments this area, here, we performed clay minerals Sr-Nd isotopes analyses gravity core GC1601 gained Southeast Sea Island. The mi...

The Scottish physician James Lind is the most celebrated name in the history of research into the causes and cures of scurvy. This is due to the famous experiment he conducted in 1747 on H.M.S. Salisbury in order to compare the efficiency of six popular treatments for scurvy. This experiment is generally regarded as the first controlled trial in clinical science (see e.g. Carpenter 1986, p. 52)...

This paper characterizes di¤erent belief revision rules in a uni…ed framework: Bayesian revision upon learning some event, Je¤rey revision upon learning new probabilities of some events, Adams revision upon learning some new conditional probabilities, and ‘dual-Je¤rey’revision upon learning an entire new conditional probability function. Though seemingly di¤erent, these revision rules follow fr...

Cognitive abnormalities have been extensively studied in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). However, little is known about the cognitive involvement in patients with Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS). Objective This study aimed to investigate cognitive impairment in patients with CIS compared with healthy subjects. Methods 18 CIS patients and 18 controls were subjected to the Wechsler memory scale, ...
