Neurology® 2012;79:1 IV human recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is the best proven and most effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke. The benefits of rt-PA are highly dependent on the time elapsed since stroke symptoms.1 Accordingly, the Brain Attack Coalition recommends that the time from emergency room arrival to initiation of rt-PA (that is, the “door-toneedle” time) shou...

Early detection of age-related disease symptoms in older people by the use daily activity data is one central challenges home sensor systems. This paper focuses on dementia scale classification from collected using sensors that can be deployed actual residential environments. Activity four (a door sensor, human motion location and sleep sensor) were obtained recording 56 adults living common re...

One of the tasks robotics is to develop a robot’s ability perform specific actions for as long possible without human assistance. such step open different types doors. This task essential any operation that involves moving robot from one room another. paper proposes versatile and computationally efficient algorithm an autonomous mobile opening doors, using machine learning methods. The latter i...

Study Design Systematic review. Study Rationale Numerous cervical laminoplasty techniques have been described but there are few studies that have compared these to determine the superiority of one over another. Clinical Questions The clinical questions include key question (KQ)1: In adults with cervical myelopathy from ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) or spondylosis, w...

I want to thank the Academy executive and those who nominated me for this award and for the opportunity to address you today. I also want to thank my wife Janet for being here today and for being supportive of my professional goals. Although professional mentors have opened many doors for me, Janet’s support and encouragement over the past 19 years has given me the courage to walk through those...

The objectives of this study were: (a) to determine if the control mechanism for interacting with a dynamic real environment is the same as in the virtual reality (VR) studies, and (b) to identify the action control parameters that are modulated to successfully pass through oscillating doors. The participants walked along a 14-m path towards oscillating doors (rate of change in aperture size = ...

The present study explored the effects of intranasal oxytocin, a naturally occurring hormone, on the behavior of pet dogs during an attachment test. Each dog participated in two testing sessions. On one visit saline was administered nasally, and on another, oxytocin was administered nasally. For half of the dogs (n = 20), solutions were administered with a Mucosal Atomization Device (MAD) and f...
