OBJECTIVE Although the detection of crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) by means of different imaging modalities is well described, little is known about its diagnosis by computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging. We investigated the detection rate of CCD by CTP imaging and the factors related to CCD on CTP images in patients with acute ischemic stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS CT perfusion ma...

In mammals, chewing cycle duration (CCD) increases with various measures of size, scaling with body mass(0.13-0.28) and jaw length(0.55). Proposed explanations for these scaling relationships include the allometry of body size, basal metabolic rate and tooth size, on the one hand, and pendular mechanics treating the jaw as a gravity-driven pendulum, on the other. Little is known, however, about...

To clarify the optimal cumulative cisplatin dose (CCD) in locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngel carcinoma (NPC) patients receiving induction chemotherapy (IC) plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Using the NPC-specific database from the established big-data intelligence platform at Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center, 583 non-disseminated, locoregionally-advanced NPC patients receiving IC...

Zusammenfassung Methode Kiefer- und Kopfgelenke bilden eine kybernetische Einheit. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, mögliche Zusammenhänge zwischen schlechtem Schlaf der kraniozervikalen (CCD) bzw. kraniomandibulären Dysfunktion (CMD) zu ermitteln. Ergebnisse Von den 606 untersuchten CMD-CCD-Patienten mit waren 65,4 % Patienten weiblich, 34,6 männlich; 90,3 erfüllten zusätzlich die diagnostischen Kri...

Chest compression depth (CCD) and rate (CCR) are important factors of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). To assist performing CPR by citizen, a number of CPR related applications are being developed on a smartphone application market. Most of apps provide procedure of CPR. In case of using accelerometer, it is possible to estimate CCD and CCR. In this study, we proposed an app which provides ...

Canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) is a syndrome that manifests itself in abnormal behaviors, such as disorientation and wandering. β-amyloid deposition in the brain, including the senile plaque (SP) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), has been suggested as a major cause of the syndrome. However, the pathological significance of β-amyloid deposition in CCD dogs remains unclear. The present s...

Recent losses in honey bee colonies are unusual in their severity, geographical distribution, and, in some cases, failure to present recognized characteristics of known disease. Domesticated honey bees face numerous pests and pathogens, tempting hypotheses that colony collapses arise from exposure to new or resurgent pathogens. Here we explore the incidence and abundance of currently known hone...

The mechanism of crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) is considered to be secondary hypoperfusion due to neural deactivation. To elucidate the hemodynamics during neural deactivation, the hemodynamics of CCD was investigated. The cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2), and vascular responses to ...
