Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder with childhood onset presenting with multiple fluctuating motor tics and one or more phonic tics. A significant proportion of people suffering from GTS are still symptomatic in adulthood and present other emotional and cognitive difficulties, along with motor problems that often accompany these comorbid conditions. The nature o...

BACKGROUND Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. Hyperactivity of dopaminergic transmission is considered a prime abnormality in the pathophysiology of tics. There are reciprocal antagonistic interactions between adenosine and dopamine transmission. The aim of the study was to analyze the association of two polymorphisms, rs...

IEEE 802.15.4 standard specifies the Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) layer for wireless sensor networks (WSN) applications with limited power and low data rate. This standard supports time critical applications by allowing TDMA based access in beacon enabled networks. In these networks, the PAN coordinator exchanges data with the end devices through guaranteed time slots (GTS). T...

BACKGROUND Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (GTS) is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder, characterized by chronic motor and vocal tics, associated in 50-90% of cases with psychiatric comorbidities. Patients with moderate and severe clinical picture are treated with psychotherapy and pharmacological therapy. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is reserved for pharmacological refractory GTS patients. As ...

Many mobile computing applications can proot from process groups and reliable multicast communication to maintain replicated data, but most operating systems available today fail in providing the primitive operations needed by such applications. In this paper we describe a highly conngurable, Generic Multicast Transport Service (GTS), which supports the implementation of group-based application...

This study aimed to explore the antidepressant mechanisms of ginseng total saponins (GTS) in the corticosterone-induced mouse depression model. In Experiment 1, GTS (50, 25, and 12.5 mg kg(-1) d(-1), intragastrically) were given for 3 weeks. In Experiment 2, the same doses of GTS were administrated after each corticosterone (20 mg kg(-1) d(-1), subcutaneously) injection for 22 days. In both exp...

To clarify the cause of the canine individual variability in plasma concentration after oral administration of GTS-21, we evaluated in vitro the metabolism to 4-OH-GTS-21 in liver microsomes of the same individuals from in vivo pharmacokinetic study. First, we applied to the Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters to a dispersion model, and compared hepatic availability (F(H)) and hepatic clearance...

Let k be a global field, p an odd prime number different from char(k) and S, T disjoint, finite sets of primes of k. Let GTS (k)(p) = G(k T S (p)|k) be the Galois group of the maximal p-extension of k which is unramified outside S and completely split at T . We prove the existence of a finite set of primes S0, which can be chosen disjoint from any given set M of Dirichlet density zero, such tha...

The attenuating effects of green tea supplements (GTS) against the ultraviolet (UV) radiation induced skin damages are distinguished. However, the concomitant effects of GTS on the large intestinal microbiomes and associated metabolomes are largely unclear. Herein, we performed an integrated microbiome-metabolome analysis to uncover the esoteric links between gut microbiome and exo/endogenous m...
