Article history: Received: 25.10.2014. Received in revised form: 19.03.2014. Accepted: 20.03.2014. To analyze the air flow interference between upper and lower wings in axial ring wing configuration, NASA SC(2)-1006 supercritical airfoil is chosen as the basic airfoil. Flow field around the doublewing structure with different relative distances between upper and lower wings is numerically simul...

To determine the importance of academic and research success during medical school upon subsequent academic activity, a computerized literature search was performed using the names of the 79 surviving members of the Yale Medical School Class of 1970. Individuals elected to Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) during the third year of school had significantly more publications (mean 101.7 +/- 69.6) between 1...

Background: Dyslexia is the most common learning disorder. Visual and oculomotor deficits in dyslexic children have been reported. The purpose of this study was to measure oculomotor parameters and analyze the effect of oculomotor rehabilitation strategies on dyslexia. Methods: Binocular eye movements were recorded by oculomotor subtype of videonystagmography (VNG) testing on 30 children with ...

This study aims to compare 2 methods of assessing the postural phase of gait initiation, in regard to intrasession reliability, in healthy and poststroke subjects. As a secondary aim, this study aims to analyze anticipatory postural adjustments during gait initiation based on the center of pressure (CoP) displacements in poststroke participants. The CoP signal was acquired during gait initiatio...

In this chapter, the authors use the computation, anatomy, and physiology (CAP) principles to consider the impact of common clinical problems on action They focus on 3 major syndromes: paresis, apraxia, and ataxiaThey also review mechanisms that could account for spontaneous recovery, using what is known about the best-studied clinical dysfunction-paresis-and also ataxia. Together, this and the...

Miller Fisher syndrome is one of the forms Guillain–Barrе́ syndrome, characterized by a clinical triad that includes ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia, with possible addition moderate peripheral tetraparesis. During year has passed since start pandemic new coronavirus infection COVID‑19, international publications have presented few cases which developed in patients at different times after ...

A 54-year-old white man presented with slowly progressive incoordination and weakness. He had normal motor development until, at 16 years of age, he noted difficulty walking and difficulty reading despite normal visual acuity. By the fourth decade of life, he developed poor coordination and balance, as well as inability to walk. In subsequent years, he developed progressive, painless sensory lo...

The electro-oculographic (EOG) features of both horizontal and vertical eye movements in congenital oculomotor apraxia (COMA) were not previously reported. A girl referred to the ophthalmologic department for abnormal eye movements was diagnosed as COMA. The same abnormal ocular movements were observed in her younger sister and her father who was unaware of his difficulties to initiate voluntar...
