Electroencephalography (EEG) signal analysis is a fast, inexpensive, and accessible technique to detect the early stages of dementia, such as Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In last years, EEG has become an important topic research extract suitable biomarkers determine subject’s cognitive impairment. this work, we propose novel simple efficient method able features wit...

PURPOSE To investigate the different responses to acupuncture in MCI patients and age-matched healthy subjects reflected by the Regional Homogeneity (ReHo) indices. METHODS The experiment was performed at the acupoint KI3 in 12 MCI patients and 12 healthy controls, respectively. A novel non-repeated event-related (NRER) fMRI design paradigm was applied to separately detect neural activities r...

Java has multiple inheritance of interfaces, but only single inheritance of code via classes. This situation results in duplicated code in Java library classes and application code. We describe a generalization to the Java language syntax and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to support multiple inheritance of code, called MCI-Java. Our approach places multiply-inherited code in a new language con...

ObjectiveTo evaluate the performance of a Random Forest (RF) classifier on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) measures in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).MethodsWe applied RF TMS obtained from multicenter cohort MCI, including MCI-Alzheimer’s Disease (MCI-AD), MCI-frontotemporal dementia (MCI-FTD), MCI-dementia Lewy bodies (MCI-DLB), and healthy controls (HC). All underwent a...

Vegetation moisture and dry matter content are important indicators in predicting the behavior of fire and it is widely used in fire spread models. In this study, leaf fuel moisture content such as Live Fuel Moisture Content (LFMC), Leaf Relative Water Content (RWC), Dead Fuel Moisture Content (DFMC), and Leaf Dry Matter Content (LDMC) (hereinafter known as moisture content indices (MCI)) were ...

Microscopic colitis (MC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that has emerged in the last three decades as a leading cause of chronic watery diarrhoea. MC classically includes two main subtypes: lymphocytic colitis (LC) and collagenous colitis (CC). Other types of histopathological changes in the colonic mucosa have been described in patients with chronic diarrhoea, without fulfilling the c...

objectives: this study sought to assess the relation of mandibular cortical index (mci) with age, gender and gonial angle size in an iranian adult population using digital panoramic radiography. methods: we evaluated 370 digital panoramic radiographs of patients and divided them into five 10-year age groups. each radiograph was assigned to low (≤120°) or high (≥125°) angle groups in terms of th...

It is well recognized that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to neurodegeneration occurring in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, evidences of mitochondrial defects in AD peripheral cells are still inconclusive. Here, some mitochondrial-encoded and nuclear-encoded proteins, involved in maintaining the correct mitochondria machine, were investigated in terms of protein expression and enzymat...
