BACKGROUND The incidence of neurological complications in the forearm after radial artery harvesting varies in the literature, ranging from 2% to more than 50%. Also, the areas affected and the type of neurological complications differ a lot. Peripheral nerve injuries may be divided into three types: neuroapraxia (conduction block that recovers within 3 months), axonotmesis (recovers 1 ml/day) ...

Requirement Engineering process starts from gathering of requirements i.e.; requirements elicitation. Requirements elicitation (RE) is the base building block for a software project and has very high impact on subsequent design and builds phases as well. Accurately capturing system requirements is the major factor in the failure of most of software projects. Due to the criticality and impact of...

INTRODUCTION Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) increases mortality in critical illness. However, clinical diagnostic uncertainty persists. We hypothesised that measuring cell-surface and soluble inflammatory markers, incorporating Triggering Receptor Expressed by Myeloid cells (TREM)-1, would improve diagnostic accuracy. METHODS A single centre prospective observational study, set in a Un...

OBJECTIVE The current study tested several hypotheses about disclosure of childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse derived from Betrayal Trauma Theory [Freyd, J. J. (1996). Betrayal trauma: The logic of forgetting childhood abuse. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press]. We predicted that the duration of time from abuse to its disclosure would vary as a function of victim-perpetrator cl...

Objective: Describe and discuss a typical case with recurrent painful ophthalmoplegic neuropathy (RPON), demonstrate likely extrinsic compression of the sixth cranial nerve by vascular loop. Background: RPON is rare, but well-known entity, characterized attacks ophthalmoplegia associated ipsilateral headache. The etiology unknown, neurovascular conflict (NVC) has been suggested as cause. Method...

Neurovascular coupling is a key control mechanism in cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation. Importantly, this process was demonstrated to be affected several neurological disorders, including epilepsy. (NVC) the basis for functional brain imaging, such as PET, SPECT, fMRI, and fNIRS, assess map neuronal activity, thus understanding NVC critical properly interpret imaging signals. However, hemody...

Neurovascular coupling (NVC) is the process whereby neuronal activity controls blood vessel diameter. In the cerebellum, the molecular layer is regarded as the main NVC determinant. However, the granular layer is a region with variable metabolic demand caused by large activity fluctuations that shows a prominent expression of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and is theref...
