Abstract Introduction The Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) has been used as an objective measure the ability to stay awake and can be assess effectiveness treatment. There are no universally accepted guidelines for assessing effective treatment or driving readiness in adolescents with narcolepsy there is only limited data published on use MWT children. purpose this study present a single-c...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To determine associations between stenosis, measures of plaque burden, and compositional features of carotid atherosclerosis, including high-risk features of intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) and surface disruption. METHODS Institutional Review Board approval and informed consent for all participants were obtained before study initiation. Patients with either carotid stenosi...

Abstract Introduction Once-nightly sodium oxybate (ON-SXB; FT218), an investigational, extended-release treatment, was evaluated for the treatment of narcolepsy in adults phase 3 REST-ON clinical trial (NCT02720744). The co-primary endpoints, mean sleep latency on Maintenance Wakefulness Test (MWT), Clinical Global Impression-Improvement rating, and weekly number cataplexy attacks (NCA), second...

BACKGROUND NOX-2, the catalytic subunit of NADPH oxidase, has a key role in the formation of reactive oxidant species and is implicated in impairing flow-mediated dilation (FMD). Dark chocolate exerts artery dilatation via down-regulating NOX2-mediated oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate whether dark chocolate improves walking autonomy in peripheral artery disease (PAD) p...

I report on our construction and analysis of the effective low energy Lagrangian for the Minimal Walking Technicolor (MWT) model [1]. The parameters of the effective Lagrangian are constrained by imposing modified Weinberg sum rules and by imposing a value for the S parameter estimated from the underlying Technicolor theory. The constrained effective Lagrangian allows for an inverted vector vs....

Cancer survivors participating in supervised exercise programs learn to exercise safely with oversight from care providers who monitor and facilitate their progress. This study investigated the long-term exercise participation levels and identified exercise barriers for graduates from a specialized cancer exercise and education program. Subjects were graduates from a 12-week supervised exercise...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the feasibility and safety of percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve (MV) repair in patients with an unacceptably high operative risk. BACKGROUND MV repair for mitral regurgitation (MR) can be accomplished by use of a clip that approximates the free edges of the mitral leaflets. METHODS All patients were declined for surgery because of a high logistic ...

Automatic synonyms and semantically related word extraction is a challenging task, useful in many NLP applications such as question answering, search query expansion, text summarization, etc. While different studies addressed the task of word synonym extraction, only a few investigations tackled the problem of acquiring synonyms of multi-word terms (MWT) from specialized corpora. To extract pai...
