Background: Predicting adverse neurovascular complications due to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) particularly in children leads to more appropriately management of disease as well as achievement of acceptable patients' survival. Cerebral edema is a life-threatening adverse event following DKA responsible for high mortality rate. Recently, authors have focused introducing new risk assessment tools ...

Background: To determine whether it is possible to predict intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVT) outcome after 3 months in acute ischemic stroke patients who are candidate to receive recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), before rt-PA administration based on their risk factors and some available laboratory results. Methods: We enrolled 118 ischemic stroke patients who were treated ...

this paper describes an optimal design for multivariable pi controller with a high gain structure for an irregular system by genetic algorithm. pi controllers with a high gain structure leads to the asymptotic decomposition of the fast and slow modes in the closed loop system that have unique characteristics. the slow modes are asymptotically uncontrollable and unobservable; therefore, they hav...
