Blood velocity in the middle cerebral artery was measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in 15 patients suffering complete hemiplegia of less than 12 hours' duration, presumed due to cerebral ischemia. Among seven patients in whom blood velocity was greater than 30 cm/sec, five made complete or partial useful recovery of the involved hand and arm. Among eight patients in whom blood vel...

<sec>The stable and reproducible magnetic field generated by a precision current source coil is usually used to calibrate the sensitivity of an atomic magnetometer. The noise directly determines field. Therefore highly sensitive magnetometer can be measure source.</sec><sec>In this paper, pump-probe estimate noises two sources in wide range. Firstly, order suppress drift field...

PURPOSE Postictal pulmonary edema (PPE) is almost invariably present in human and animal cases of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) coming to autopsy. PPE may be a contributing factor in SUDEP. The incidence of postictal PPE is unknown. We retrospectively investigated PPE following generalized tonic clonic seizures (GTCS) in the epilepsy monitoring unit. METHODS Chest X-Rays (CXR) f...

Simultaneous modeling of source parameters and local layered earth structure for the April 29, 1965, Puget Sound earthquake was done using both ray and layer matrix formulations for point dislocations imbedded in layered media. The source parameters obtained are. dip 70 ° to the east, strike 344 °, rake -75 °, 63 km depth, average moment of 1.4 -10.6 X 10 ~6 dyne<m, and a triangular time functi...

Previous studies in slices have shown that low-frequency stimulation at 5 Hz, i.e., theta pulse stimulation (TPS), completely reverses long-term potentiation (LTP) in area CA1 when delivered within 1-2 min after induction but produces progressively less depotentiation at longer delays, until it has no longer any impact at 30 min after induction. The present study examined whether LTP in the fre...

The photometric accuracy of WFC3’s IR Channel was examined during thermal vacuum testing in September October, 2004. The measured signal levels from various incident flux levels and sample sequences were compared in order to determine the relative accuracy of FPA64. Significant deviations in measured versus expected flux levels were observed at some illumination levels. Introduction The purpose...

Three millilitres of plain 0.5% bupivacaine were injected intrathecally at two different spinal interspaces (L2/3 and L4/5) and at two different speeds (15 and 30 sec) in four groups of ten patients. Injection at L2/3 over 15 sec produced a significantly higher mean maximum spread of analgesia (T6.4) when compared to injection at L4-5 over 15 sec (T10.3) (P < 0.05). Over the same interspace L2/...

background: myocardial ischemia is one of several causes of prolonged qt dispersion. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect that percutaneous coronary intervention has on the depolarization and repolarization parameters of surface electrocardiography in patients with chronic stable angina. methods: we assessed the effects of full revascularization in patients with chronic stable angin...

We present a method for detecting driver frustration from both video and audio streams captured during the driver’s interaction with an in-vehicle voice-based navigation system. The video is of the driver’s face when the machine is speaking, and the audio is of the driver’s voice when he or she is speaking. We analyze a dataset of 20 drivers that contains 596 audio epochs (audio clips, with dur...

Voltammetry was used to monitor in rats changes in medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) dopamine (DA) levels associated with response-contingent presentation of a condensed milk reward. During two initial training sessions, minor DA signal fluctuations were seen when animals consumed a standard 30 sec (0.2 ml) meal earned on a continuous reinforcement schedule. There was no evidence of experience-dep...
