Background: Recent studies suggest that prolonged and intermittent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (prolonged bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (PO) and intermittent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion, respectively) can lead to reduced ischemia brain injury in ischemic tolerance. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the changes in brain lipidomics followin...

occlusal design. It is intriguing because of its simplicity and its remarkable success in practical usage. By incorporating an extremely effective chewing mechanism with linear stability in the occlusion, an entirely new combination of prosthetic advantages is achieved. Linear occlusion definitely provides a stabilizing effect on the denture bases during function. Heretofore, occlusion for full...

The objectives were to study plasma and erythrocyte flow in an area of acute focal cerebral ischemia and define their relationship to developing microcirculatory obstruction as determined by morphological techniques. Eighteen adult cats, anesthetized with ketamine hydrochloride, had right middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. Plasma flow was determined by measuring the transit of Iodine-131 (...

The creation of realistic, complex, and diversified virtual worlds is of utmost importance for video games. Unfortunately the amount of time required to create 3D scene contents can be extremely tedious to graphic artists. While procedural modeling can alleviate this task, it has mostly been developed for specific contexts. In this paper, we study tiling for synthetic worlds, taking into accoun...

The effects of premature ventricular stimuli were studied in two groups of dogs with infarcts, one group subjected to permanent occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery and the other to temporary occlusion for 2 hours. In dogs with permanent occlusion, spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias occurred after 3-6 hours. In 13 dogs with temporary occlusion, ventricular arrhythmias occu...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Epidemiological study of middle cerebral artery occlusion is important because the indication for extracranial-intracranial arterial bypass remains in dispute. To help clarify this issue, we investigated the prognosis of thrombotic middle cerebral artery occlusion in Japanese patients. METHODS We studied 40 patients with thrombotic middle cerebral artery occlusion who w...

the water content of the epidermis is a main factor in maintaining skin smoothness and elasticity and preventing skin dryness. occlusive products can greatly affect skin hydration by forming a barrier on the skin following the topical administration of oil-based formulations. these products repair the skin barrier by restoring the skin lipids as well. solid lipid nanoparticles (slns) have recen...
