OBJECTIVE The cognitive side-effects of bifrontal (BF) and right unilateral (UL) ultra-brief pulse (0.3 ms) electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) were compared, in the treatment of patients with a depressive episode. METHOD Neuropsychological functioning in patients with a medication refractory depressive episode, that were treated with a course of BF ultra-brief ECT at 1.5 times seizure threshold ...

Bürokratie stellt eine Belastung für Unternehmen dar. Auf Grund der kleinbetrieblichen Strukturen in der deutschen Landwirtschaft sind davon landwirtschaftliche Betriebe besonders stark betroffen. Der folgende Beitrag stellt Methoden dar, mit denen in der Vergangenheit die Belastung von landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben durch Bürokratie erhoben wurde. Die Belastungen werden einander gegenüber gest...

BACKGROUND Some studies assessed the association between CYP1A1 MspI and Ile462Val polymorphisms and uterine leiomyoma (UL) risk. However, the results were controversial. We did this meta-analysis to determine the association between CYP1A1 MspI and Ile462Val polymorphisms and UL risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched databases containing PubMed, Springer Link, EMBASE, Chinese National Knowl...

This paper presents two unsupervised learning layers (UL layers) for label-free video analysis: one for fully connected layers, and the other for convolutional ones. The proposed UL layers can play two roles: they can be the cost function layer for providing global training signal; meanwhile they can be added to any regular neural network layers for providing local training signals and combined...

Uterine leiomyomas (ULs), also known as fibroids, are benign and monoclonal tumors frequently found in the female population. The genetic alterations that contribute to UL tumor development have not been well established, and the goal of this study was to reveal gene expression variation between ULs and healthy uterine tissue. We compared the gene expression profiles of 13 UL tumors with that o...

After vestibular labyrinth injury, behavioral measures of vestibular function partially recover through the process of vestibular compensation. The present study was performed to improve our understanding of the physiology of macaque vestibular nucleus neurons in the compensated state (>6 wk) after unilateral labyrinthectomy (UL). The responses of neurons to sinusoidal yaw rotation at a series ...
