This study was carried out to assess the different ovarian transplantation sites after short-time autografting. Female rats were randomized into five groups, with six rats in each group, including control (intact), cervical subcutaneous transplanted (CST), back subcutaneous transplanted (BST), subfascial transplanted (SFT) and intramuscular transplanted (IMT) groups. In all experimental groups,...

Greater loss in structural integrity of the ipsilesional corticospinal tract (CST) is associated with poorer motor outcome in patients with hemiparetic stroke. Animal models of stroke have demonstrated that structural remodeling of white matter in the ipsilesional and contralesional hemispheres is associated with improved motor recovery. Accordingly, motor recovery in patients with stroke may r...

BACKGROUND Cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) is an evidence-based psychosocial intervention for people with dementia consisting of 14 group sessions aiming to stimulate various areas of cognition. This study examined the effects of CST on specific cognitive domains and explored the neuropsychological processes underpinning any effects. METHODS A total of 34 participants with mild to moderat...

Damage to the corticospinal tract (CST) in stroke patients has been associated with functional reorganization in the ipsilesional and contralesional sensorimotor cortices. However, it is unknown whether a quantitative relationship exists between the extent of structural damage to the CST and functional reorganization in stroke patients. The purpose of the current study was to examine the relati...

The corticospinal tract (CST) is the principal motor control pathway for skilled movements. It has a protracted postnatal development, creating a protracted period of vulnerability to perinatal brain and spinal cord injury. Research has shown that the motor signs in cerebral palsy (CP) reflect the loss of CST connections as well as development of abnormal motor systems connections, especially b...

In the anesthetized cat we used laser-Doppler flowmetry to investigate the part played by cervical superior sympathetic trunk (CST) fibers in the control of blood vessels in an orofacial area (the lower lip). The blood flow increase (antidromic vasodilatation) elicited by inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) stimulation was not affected by ongoing repetitive CST stimulation over the frequency range ex...

It is well known that a graph with m edges can be made triangle-free by removing (slightly less than) m/2 edges. On the other hand, there are many classes of graphs which are hard to make triangle-free in the sense that it is necessary to remove roughly m/2 edges in order to eliminate all triangles. We prove that dense graphs that are hard to make triangle-free have a large packing of pairwise ...

The paper presents a method of expressing CST shapes pioneered by Kulfan into stan­ dard Bezier curves and surfaces. Out of the seven standard shape classes identified by Kulfan as representable using CST curves, four of them, including airfoils, can be repre­ sented as Bezier curves exactly. For the other three, a convergent series expansion proves insufficient to achieve any practical accurac...

Graphics performance is increased through the development of various hardware-supported graphics architectures. The majority of these architectures include a rasterizer to which the 3D vertex coordinates in image space and associated color values are sent. For rasterization it is common to use triangles or triangle strips as basic drawing primitives. The rasterizer interpolates the depth and co...
