Context: Trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) is a promising non-invasive brain stimulation intervention. The TNS has been proposed for major depressive disorder (MDD) with auspicious results. The aim of this study was to review the literature on TNS for

• Background • Acid Rain & Cars • Acid Rain & Forests • Acid Rain & Health • Acid Rain & Water • Acid Rain in Europe • Acid Rain in US • Acid Rain Study The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in the aquatic, or water, environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes. Acid rain flows to streams, lakes, and marshes after falling on forests, fields, buildings, and roads. Acid r...

BACKGROUND Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has become an important non-invasive brain stimulation tool for basic human brain physiology and cognitive neuroscience, with potential applications in cognitive and motor rehabilitation. To date, tDCS studies have employed a fixed stimulation level, without considering the impact of individual anatomy and physiology on the efficacy of t...

Background Non-invasive magnetic stimulation is an emerging technology to stimulate nerve fibres and muscles, mainly used in rehabilitation to treat people with disabilities or paralysis due to e.g. strokes. The mainstream method to treat these kinds of injuries is electrical stimulation. Electrical stimulation, however, applies a current directly through the skin of the patient, i.e. the stimu...

BACKGROUND Perinatal stroke occurs in more than 1 in 2,500 live births and resultant congenital hemiparesis necessitates investigation into interventions which may improve long-term function and decreased burden of care beyond current therapies ( http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/cp/data.html ). Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is recognized as an effective hemiparesis rehabilitation interven...

Present study investigates the role of temporal phase relation of serotonergic and dopaminergic oscillations in the regulation of seasonal reproduction in summer breeding Jungle bush quail, Perdicula asiatica and autumn breeding rain quail, Coturnix coturnix coromandelica. Two sets of experiments were performed in month of August, in reproductively quiescent (RQ) bush quail and reproductively a...

BACKGROUND Several retrospective studies have evaluated seasonal variations in the outcome of IVF treatment. Some also included weather conditions, mostly temperature and hours of daylight. The results were conflicting. METHODS In a retrospective study we analysed all fresh cycles (N = 9865) that were started between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2012. Because some patients were included m...

Detection of rain/no-rain condition on the ground is an important for application of radar rainfall algorithms. A radial basis function (RBF) neural network-based scheme for rain/no-rain determination on the ground using vertical profiles of radar data is described in this paper. Evaluation based on WSR-88D radar over central Florida indicates that rain/no-rain condition can be inferred fairly ...
