After incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), patients and animals may exhibit some spontaneous functional recovery which can be partly attributed to remodeling of injured neural circuitry. This post-lesion plasticity implies spinal remodeling but increasing evidences suggest that supraspinal structures contribute also to the functional recovery. Here we tested the hypothesis that partial SCI may ...

At Crypto ’06, Bellare presented new security proofs for HMAC and NMAC, under the assumption that the underlying compression function is a pseudo-random function family. Conversely, at Asiacrypt ’06, Contini and Yin used collision techniques to obtain forgery and partial key-recovery attacks on HMAC and NMAC instantiated with MD4, MD5, SHA-0 and reduced SHA-1. In this paper, we present the firs...

COMPARISON OF THE QUALITY LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH MAJOR DEPRESSION AND SCHIZOPHRENIA PARTIAL RECOVERY PHASE

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE ONP is a well-known presentation of PcomA aneurysms. Reports on recovery of ONP with endovascular coiling have been limited to small case series. We assessed the safety and efficacy of endovascular therapy in a series of PcomA aneurysms with ONP. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed 37 patients with ONP who underwent endovascular treatment in our institution between 2005 a...

There have been many matching pursuit algorithms (MPAs) which handle the sparse signal recovery problem a.k.a. compressed sensing (CS). In the MPAs, the correlation computation step has a dominant computational complexity. In this letter, we propose a new fast correlation computation method when we use some classes of partial unitary matrices as the sensing matrix. Those partial unitary matrice...

BACKGROUND We wanted to evaluate whether partial matrix excision and orthonyxia are equally effective in the treatment of ingrown toenails of the hallux. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a prospective randomized clinical trial with 12-month observer-blinded followup, in the surgical outpatient department of a teaching hospital. We randomized 105 consecutive patients with a total of 109 ingrown toena...
