The prevalence of risk factors and stroke mechanisms differ between ICAS and ECAS, and between anterior and posterior circulation atherosclerosis. Posterior ICAS seems to be closely associated with metabolic derangement and local branch occlusion. Prevention and management strategies may have to consider these differences.

The sign language is a method of communication for the deaf-mute. Articulated gestures and postures of hands and fingers are commonly used for the sign language. This paper presents a system which recognizes the Korean sign language (KSL) and translates into a normal Korean text. A pair of data-gloves are used as the sensing device for detecting motions of hands and fingers. For efficient recognition of gestures and postures, a technique of efficient classification of motions is proposed and a f

Probiotic supplementation can reduce the antibiotic-induced alteration and imbalance of the gut microbiota composition. This effect may restrict the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the gut and improve the H. pylori eradication success rate.

Cu NP exposure impaired host defense against bacterial lung infections and induced a dose-dependent decrease in bacterial clearance in which even our lowest dose demonstrated significantly lower clearance than observed in sham-exposed mice. Thus, exposure to Cu NPs may increase the risk of pulmonary infection.

Single subcortical infarction associated with parental artery disease is an important stroke sub-type, distinct from small artery disease, illustrating that greater efforts should be made in its accurate diagnosis. Studies are needed to investigate the prevalence of single subcortical infarction associated with parental artery disease in various parts of the world and to design a stroke classification system that includes single subcortical infarction associated with parental artery disease. Pre

Pain is one of the most troublesome sequelae of stroke, occurring in 19-74% of patients. A portion of this post-stroke pain is caused by the brain lesion itself; this is called 'central post-stroke pain' (CPSP). Although the prevalence of CPSP among stroke patients is low (1-8%), the persistent, often treatment-refractory, painful sensations can be a major problem, decreasing the affected patient's quality of life. As the aging population continues to increase, CPSP will become an even more impo

The aim of this meta-analysis was to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the evidence examining biomarker signatures in MDD patients including lipids, lipid regulatory proteins (LRP), and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) as compared to healthy individuals. We performed meta-analyses and meta-regression of the studies comparing lipid, LRP, and PUFA levels between MDD patients and healthy individuals by searching Embase, Ovid Medline, Scopus, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Cochrane databases. Search was

Abstract The removal of single component and binary mixtures of divalent cobalt and iron from water by ion exchange with synthetic Y zeolite has been studied in batch, semi‐batch and continuous modes of operation; the initial metal solution concentration did not exceed 2 mmol dm −3 . Binary Co/Na and Fe/Na ion exchange equilibrium isotherms (294 K) are presented wherein exchange site heterogeneity is evident in the case of the iron treatment. Under conditions of stoichiometric ion exchange, remo

Hot-filament-assisted chemical vapor deposition has been used to study the growth morphology of synthetic diamond deposited on silicon substrate in a dilute (1 vol %) CH3COCH3/H2 at high substrate temperature (about 777 °C). Scanning electron microscope pictures of the diamond particles show that the surfaces of synthetic diamond consist of rough-octahedral (111) faces and smooth-cubic (100) faces, which is cubo-octahedron. And also the (110) facets on the octahedral face are observed. The relat

EMGs are a natural means of HCI because the electrical activity induced by the human's arm muscle movements can be interpreted to used as computer's control commands. In This work, we present an on-line EMG-MOUSE system that controls movements of a cursor, which are interpretations of 6 pre-defined wrist motions: up, down, left, right, click, and rest. To emphasize a wearability, we designed the hardware in a way that electrodes are located on a circular armband, which wraps around the forearm.

Type-specific total viral load may be a powerful diagnostic marker for HSIL+ in HPV 16-, 18-, and 58-infected HSIL+ lesions. If demonstrated in all other high-risk HPV types, this method can lead to a paradigm shift in the strategy of equivocal cytologic abnormalities.
