26 Newborn vitality evaluation and early detection of fetal distress could contribute to reduce mortality 27 at birth in canine species. High neonatal mortality rate in dog is reported subsequent to complicated 28 or uncomplicated whelping. Actually, the lactate level is considered an indicator of fetal distress 29 and a valid predictor of babies’ survival. Fetal acidosis recognition by umbilic...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Children with unilateral cerebral palsy present with impaired upper limb (UL) function affecting independence, participation, and quality of life and require effective rehabilitation. This study aims to systematically review the efficacy of nonsurgical upper limb therapies for children with unilateral cerebral palsy. METHODS: Medline, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursin...

25 After vestibular labyrinth injury, behavioral deficits partially recover through the process 26 of vestibular compensation. The current study was performed to improve our 27 understanding of the physiology of the macaque vestibular system in the compensated 28 state (>7 weeks) after unilateral labyrinthectomy (UL). Three groups of vestibular 29 nucleus neurons were included: pre-UL control n...

Objective. To determine the relationship between CD4 lymphocytes with opportunistic infections in patients HIV infection a hospital Chiclayo, Peru, 2020. Material and methods: The study was observational, retrospective analytical cross-sectional, population 135 medical records. of confirmed diagnosis HIV-AIDS who were treated infectious disease service. Results: male sex predominated (81.5%), 9...

The key technical challenge of developing communication solutions for wearable devices is to meet the stringent energy consumption constraints while supporting diverse traffic types and quality of service (QoS) requirements in potentially densely populated deployment scenarios. In this work, we first present a new wearable communication architecture we refer to as LTE-W (LTE for Wearables) for ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of stroke involvement of primary and secondary hemispheric motor systems and corticofugal tracts on arm and hand recovery. METHODS Forty-one patients participating in an inpatient stroke rehabilitation database, admitted 17+/-2 (SEM) days after initial unilateral hemispheric ischemic stroke, with neuroimaging studies p...

This paper proposes an ultra-reliable device-centric uplink (URDC-UL) communication scheme for airborne networks. In particular, base stations (BSs) are mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that travel to schedule UL transmissions and collect data from devices. To attain unified performance, the connection is established when UAV-BS hovering at nearest possible distance scheduled device. ...

24 After vestibular labyrinth injury, behavioral measures of vestibular function partially 25 recover through the process of vestibular compensation. The current study was 26 performed to improve our understanding of the physiology of macaque vestibular 27 nucleus neurons in the compensated state (>6 weeks) after unilateral labyrinthectomy 28 (UL). The responses of neurons to sinusoidal yaw rot...

For a graph G(V,E) and a vertex s ∈ V , a weighting scheme (w : E → N) is called a min-unique (resp. max-unique) weighting scheme, if for any vertex v of the graph G, there is a unique path of minimum(resp. maximum) weight1 from s to v. Instead, if the number of paths of minimum(resp. maximum) weight is bounded by n for some constant c, then the weighting scheme is called a min-poly (resp. max-...

BACKGROUND The use of computed tomographic (CT) scans in the United States (US) has increased more than 3-fold since 1993 to approximately 70 million scans annually. Despite the great medical benefits, there is concern about the potential radiation-related cancer risk. We conducted detailed estimates of the future cancer risks from current CT scan use in the US according to age, sex, and scan t...
