INTRODUCTION Spontaneous fluctuations in BOLD signal are used for functional connectivity [1]. It has been suggested that these spontaneous fluctuations may influence trial-to-trial variability of the evoked BOLD response [2]. Taken together, these studies suggest that the amplitude of the spontaneous fluctuation has significance for the strength of the functional connectivity (between symmetri...

Hemodynamic responses, in general, and the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) fMRI signal, in particular, provide an indirect measure of neuronal activity. There is strong evidence that the BOLD response correlates well with post-synaptic changes, induced by changes in the excitatory and inhibitory (E-I) balance between active neuronal populations. Typical BOLD responses exhibit transient...

(p<0.005) and (B) BOLD changes (p<0.005) during right hand movement displayed on an inflated cortical surface with white arrow indicating the central sulcus. (C) shows the locations of peak BOLD changes and time course of BOLD percentage change derived from these two regions (baseline is from -4 s to 0 s).

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the preferred treatment for removal of large kidney stones, sized &gt;20 mm. However, there still an ongoing debate concerning best anesthesia PCNL. This study aimed to compare efficacy and safety between general spinal PCNL. Methods: A systematic review meta-analysis study.<ns4:bo...

Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) incidence in Northeastern Thailand is very high and a major cause of mortality. CCA patients typically have poor prognosis short-term survival rate due to late-stage diagnosis. the first Southeast Asian country approve medicinal cannabis treatment, especially for palliative care with advanced cancer patients.<...

Background: The exponential increase in pattern of vehicles on the roads demands a need to develop vehicular infrastructure that may not only ease congestions and provide better experience but also pivot levels safety among users. The development wireless technology has made it convenient for machines, devices interact with one another. efficacy ...

Background: We report the clinical outcomes, operational and training model from first diagnostic interventional nephrology (DIN) department in a UK renal unit. Methods: Patient outcomes were evaluated for an array of therapeutic procedures performed at DIN unit, SDIN (the Sunderland Diagnostic Intervention Unit), within year its ...

A fluorescent hydroxyl- and hydrazone-based covalent organic framework (TFPB–DHTH COF) was synthesized as an “OFF–ON” sensor for cysteine l-histidine.

Background: Among individuals with vestibular dysfunction, the loss of vestibular sensory information is found to alter cognitive abilities that coordinate spatial and non-spatial information. P300 an event-related potential commonly used assess processing. The aim present stu...
