Demyelination is a hallmark of central pontine myelinolysis (CPM). Neuropsychiatric manifestations of this condition include weakness, quadriplegia, pseudobulbar palsy, mood changes, psychosis, and cognitive disturbances. These psychiatric symptoms are also associated with schizophrenia and alcohol withdrawal. Thus, it is clinically relevant to differentiate between CPM, schizophrenia, and alco...

Recently, new technology that supports human will be an emergent issue as population ages and birthrate declines. As human having a lot of joints utilizes many degrees of freedom (d.o.f.) for living and working, reduction or loss of d.o.f. will deteriorate the quality of life. So, it will be important to recover joint functions immediately after injury or operation. Accordingly, many studies ha...

The Closest Point Method (CPM) is a method for numerically solving partial differential equations (PDEs) on arbitrary surfaces, independent of the existence of a surface parametrization. The CPM uses a closest point representation of the surface, to solve the unmodified Cartesian version of a surface PDE in a 3D volume embedding, using simple and well-understood techniques. In this paper we pre...

INTRODUCTION Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is an acquired demyelinating lesion of the basis pontis that typically occurs after rapid correction of hyponatremia. There are only a few reported cases of patients without symptoms that have demonstrated CPM on imaging. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 26-year-old Hispanic male with history of alcohol abuse who was transferred to our ...

BACKGROUND Several chronic pain populations have demonstrated decreased conditioned pain modulation (CPM). However there is still a need to investigate the stability of CPM paradigms before the measure can be recommended for implementation. The purpose of the present study was to assess whether shoulder pain intensity and gender influence CPM stability within and between sessions. METHODS Thi...

Various management approaches have been proposed to maintain good organizational performance on a continuous basis, with corporate (CPM) and business process (BPM) being two major groups. While the conceptual connection between CPM BPM might see obvious, their actual empirical remains poorly understood. In this article, we address gap develop theoretical model that explicates causal paths from ...

IMPORTANCE The growing rate of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) among women diagnosed as having breast cancer has raised concerns about potential for overtreatment. Yet, there are few large survey studies of factors that affect women's decisions for this surgical treatment option. OBJECTIVE To determine factors associated with the use of CPM in a population-based sample of patients...

CPM after a stable fracture has been used extensively in the elbow.9,19,20,21,22,28,30,43,46,48 The initial goal of therapy following a stable fracture is to maintain the range-of-motion. If passive motion is not started within the first 48 hours the prognosis for improvement is significantly diminished.10 O’Driscoll and Giori36 have demonstrated that CPM immediately following a surgical proced...
