INTRODUCTION Patients with headache constitute up to 4.5% of emergency department (ED) visits. [1] Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an important cause of the headache that is more common than once suspected. The diagnosis of CVT is often missed or delayed because of nonspecific clinical manifestations, and brain computerized tomography (CT) may easily be misinterpreted. [2] Herein we report ...

This paper shows a 99 [g] finger joint that can exert a very strong fingertip force of more than 100 [N]. We have proposed a simple and small load-sensitive continuously variable transmission (CVT), which consists of five links and a torsion-coiled spring. The maximum fingertip force of our previous finger was limited by the mechanical strength of its links and bearings, not by the power of its...

nowadays, automakers have invested in new technologies in order to improve the efficiency of their products. giant automakers have taken an important step toward achieving this objective by designing continuously variable transmission systems (cvt) to continuously adapt the power of the engine with the external load according to the optimum efficiency curve of engine and reducing fuel consumpti...

For an electric vehicle (EV) with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), novel convex programming (CP)-based co-design method is proposed to minimize the total-cost-of-ownership (TCO). The integration of machine (EM) and CVT primary focus. optimized system reduces TCO by around 5.9% compared non-optimized CVT-based EV (based on off-the-shelf components) 2% equipped single-speed (SST). By t...

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has a broad spectrum of clinical presentation compared to arterial etiology. Seizure is one of the common symptoms and is more frequent than in other stroke types. Hence, transient neurological symptoms in CVT patients are usually due to epileptic seizures, while transient repetitive movement disorder is extremely rare except as a complication of epilepsy. We re...

Abstract Cerebral venous (sinus) thrombosis (CVT) is an unusual manifestation of causing severe neurological impairment and seizures 1,2 . Molecular mechanisms underlying CVT, potentially involving pathological platelet activation, are unknown. Here we show that antibody-(INU1-fab)-induced cooperative signaling two receptors, C-type lectin-like receptor-2 (CLEC-2) GPIIb/IIIa, triggers within mi...

background: muslim women tend to postpone their menstrual period using short course oral contraceptives (oc) during ramadan, muslims fasting month. recently, many cases of stroke, particularly cerebral vein thrombosis (cvt), have been reported in ramadan. objective: this work studies the incidence of cvt and its relation to ramadan. materials and methods: this is a cohort study conducted from o...

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon cause of stroke with diverse etiologies and varied clinical presentations. Because of variability in clinical presentation and neuroimaging, CVT remains a diagnostic challenge. Recently, some studies have highlighted the value of T2∗-weighted gradient-echo MRI (T2∗WI) in the diagnosis of CVT. We report the case of a 79-year-old woman with CVT due ...
