OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of intensive insulin therapy (IIT) for preventing postoperative infection in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS In total, 88 patients with TBI were randomly divided into 2 groups, 44 in each group. One group (group ITT) received IIT and the other group (group CIT) received conventional insulin therapy (CIT). This study was conducted between Febr...

Objective: To assess the accuracy and clinical usefulness of [I]b-CIT (2b-carbomethoxy-3b-(4iodophenyl)tropane) SPECT in the differential diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Subjects: 185 consecutive patients with symptoms of movement disorder were studied. The diagnoses were Parkinson’s disease (92), essential tremor (16), vascular parkinsonism (15), various Parkinson plus syndromes (P+) (12), d...

Suppose ↵, are concentric. Let a and b denote the radii of ↵ and respectively, and assume a > b. Clearly, such an arrangement of circles i exists only when the centers C1, . . . , Cn of the n circles 1, . . . n are the vertices of a regular n-gon, whose center is the common center O of ↵ and . Consider then a point of tangency T between two circles i and i+1, and the triangle 4OCiT . The edge O...

Emerging research in mammalian cells suggests that ionic (AgNO3) and nano silver (AgNP) can disrupt the metabolism of selenium which plays a vital role oxidative stress control. However, effect (Ag) on selenoprotein function fish is poorly understood. Here we evaluate effects AgNO3 citrate coated AgNP (cit-AgNP) using cell line derived from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) intestine (RTgutGC...

Government agencies including border control have an interest to detect if someone provides false information about their nationality. While response time tasks been proposed be able someone’s true nationality, there is the risk that they will often err, particularly in face of contamination (i.e. having thorough knowledge country). We screened 2,200 participants create three groups: Dutch (n =...

We performed a citation analysis on the Web of Science publications consisting more than 63 million articles and 1.45 billion citations 254 subjects from 1981 to 2020. proposed Article's Scientific Prestige (ASP) metric compared this number (#Cit) journal grade in measuring scientific impact individual large-scale hierarchical multi-disciplined network. In contrast #Cit, ASP, that is computed b...

BACKGROUND Trials of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIT) to improve upper extremity function after stroke have usually not included an actively treated control group. OBJECTIVE This study compared a modified CIT intervention with a dose-matched control intervention that included restraint of the less affected hand and assessed for differences in motor and functional performance and heal...
