OBJECTIVE The lateral supraorbital (LSO) approach is a modified method of the classic pterional approach and it has advantages of short skin incision and small craniotomy compared with the pterional approach. This study was designed to compare the two approaches in the surgical treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 122 patients with 137 unruptured...

Antagonistic trunk muscle activity is normally required to stabilize the spine. A lumbosacral orthosis (LSO) might reduce the need for this antagonistic activity by providing passive stiffness to the trunk and increasing spine stability. The maximum reduction in trunk muscle EMG and in the resultant spine compression force due to the LSO was estimated using a biomechanical model. The lumbar spi...

The lateral superior olive (LSO) is one of the most peripheral nuclei in the auditory pathway to receive inputs from both ears, and its cells are sensitive to interaural level disparities (ILDs) when stimulated by sounds presented over earphones. It has, accordingly, long been hypothesized that the functional role of the LSO is to encode a correlate of ILDs, one of the acoustical cues to the sp...

We predict that unpolarized charge current driven through the longitudinal leads attached to ballistic quantum-coherent two-dimensional electron gas 2DEG in semiconductor heterostructure will induce a pure spin current, which is not accompanied by any net charge flow, in the transverse voltage probes. Its magnitude can be tuned by the Rashba spin-orbit SO coupling and, moreover, it is resilient...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of palm and/or linseed oil (LSO) supplementation on carcass quality, sensory evaluation and fatty acid profile of beef from crossbred Wagyu beef steers. Twenty four fattening Wagyu crossbred beef steers (50% Wagyu), averaging 640±18 kg live weight (LW) and approximately 30 mo old, were stratified and randomly assigned in completely randomi...

Interaural intensity differences (IIDs) are the chief cues that animals use to localize high-frequency sounds. Neurons that are sensitive to IIDs are excited by sound at one ear and inhibited by sound at the other. Thus a given IID generates a combination of excitation and inhibition that is reflected in a cell's spike count. In mammals, the so-called "IID pathway" begins in the lateral superio...

Este estudo analisa a importância da racionalização dos investimentos sociais privados (ISPs) para obtenção de licença social operar (LSO) por empresas mineradoras. A LSO é uma informal baseada no apoio, consentimento, confiança e aprovação ao empreendimento minerador comunidades ele afetadas. literatura especializada discorre sobre sua melhorar eficiência econômica do empreendimento. Assim, an...

Many sensory neurons encode temporal information by detecting coincident arrivals of synaptic inputs. In the mammalian auditory brainstem, binaural neurons of the medial superior olive (MSO) are known to act as coincidence detectors, whereas in the lateral superior olive (LSO) roles of coincidence detection have remained unclear. LSO neurons receive excitatory and inhibitory inputs driven by ip...

The effects of three levels of linseed oil (LSO) supplementation of a basal diet on rumen digestion and flow of nutrients to the proximal duodenum of three mature sheep provided with permanent rumen and duodenal re-entrant cannulas were studied. 2. A basal diet of 200 g hay and 400 g concentrates daily, providing approximately 7.0 MJ digestible energy and 13 g N/d, was given alone or with suppl...

Background: Poor balance performance and impaired postural control have been frequently reported in patients with low back pain. However, postural control is rarely monitored during the course of treatment even though poor postural control may contribute to chronicity and recurrence of symptoms. Therefore, the present study aimed at investigating the effect of a nonextensible lumbosacral orth...
