Essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are two of the most common movement disorders. Tremors are the primary symptoms of ET and of some PD patients, the two are often mistaken for each other. Especially since there are no available differentiate tests for the tremor of ET or PD, the early diagnoses mainly based on clinical assessments of medical symptoms, family and medication hist...

Slow-slip events and tremors occur below the seismogenic zone of major plate boundaries. While physics aseismic slow-slip is relatively well understood, mechanics slow slip remains elusive because conditions leading to or fast ruptures are thought be mutually exclusive. Here, we explore fault dynamics in parametric space frictional show that natural behavior homogeneous faults, as long velocity...

Abstract The installation of dense seismometer arrays in Japan approximately 20 years ago has led to the discovery deep low-frequency tremors, which are oscillations clearly different from ordinary earthquakes. As such tremors may be related large earthquakes, it is an important issue seismology investigate that occurred before establishing arrays. We use learning aiming detect evidence past se...

Involuntary movement disorders include tremors, tics, myoclonus, athetosis, chorea, dystonia, and dyskinesia. Neuroleptic drugs have the propensity to cause extrapyramidal side effects. Lithium-induced coarse tremors are well documented may occur at therapeutic serum concentrations (0.8-1.0 mEq/L) in treatment of bipolar disorder. Treatment for due lithium includes either dose reduction or non-...

Practice and theory research proved the “square effect” during longwall mining with hard–thick strata lying on coal seam, which could cause severe underground pressure even dynamic disasters, such as burst; therefore, it became a key area stage that need special attention. The combined active–passive seismic computed tomography (CT) was introduced to detect abutment stress concentration in seam...

Abstract Low-frequency tremors have been widely detected in many tectonic zones, and are often located adjacent to megathrust indicating that their spatiotemporal evolution provides important insights into events. The envelope correlation method (ECM) is commonly used detect tremors. However, the ECM also detects regular earthquakes, which requires separation of these two signals after initial ...

The present report is a study on the side effects experienced by the patients attending the Lithium Clinic of the Institute of Psychiatry, Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. Out of the 120 (M 78, F42) patients studied, 97 had side effects. The effects were examined in respect of their frequency, time of onset and course, their relation to one dose and serum levels of lithium and to the clinic...

Golf is a sport that requires perfect motor coordination and a balance between mobility and stability. Golfer's "yips," an intermittent motor disturbance manifested as transient tremor, jerk, or spasm that primarily occurs when the player is trying to chip or make a putt, is a movement disorder frequently encountered in both amateur and professional golfers. In addition, other movement disorder...

A growing number of studies have implicated the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in acute and chronic alcoholization and in ethanol withdrawal. In order to study the ethanol/HPA axis interaction during alcohol withdrawal, we performed experiments using adrenalectomized (ADX) male rats alcoholized by a chronic pulmonary alcoholization procedure. Eight hours after the 3 weeks of the alco...

This research project investigates the ability of artiicial neural networks (ANNs) to predict time series. Speciically, this project examined two applications: predicting electrical power demand and earthquake tremors in Los Angeles. The ANNs modeling power demand not only predicted the next day's peak power demand, but also generated a 24-hour proole of the demand for the next day. These ANNs ...
