Predicting or anticipating upcoming words in a text, based on the context in which they are read, is an important aspect of efficient language…[Read more]

PET with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is used to assess a wide array of inflammatory and neoplastic disorders. AT13387 FDG-PET has shown particular utility in the evaluation of disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). Although fused PET/computed tomography (CT) is frequently used across the globe for these diseases, recent evidence has…[Read more]

To compare the vision needs of children wearing and not wearing eyeglasses who failed school-based vision screening.

Students aged 4 to 16years in 41 Baltimore City schools were screened using distance visual acuity (VA) and photoscreening. Students failing screening underwent school-based non-cycloplegic examination. We compared students…[Read more]

COVID-19 has changed our lives forever. The world we knew until now has been transformed and nowadays we live in a completely new scenario in a perpetual restructuring transition, in which the way we live, relate, and communicate with others has been altered permanently. Within this context, risk communication is playing a decisive role when…[Read more]

The problem of neurotoxicity associated with some anticancer drugs is also highlighted. Our review encourages further research to better encode the hidden potential of anticancer drugs with the aim of developing prospective repurposed drugs with no toxicity for neurodegenerative disorders.Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an independent risk factor for…[Read more]

A common theme among previously proposed models for network epidemics is the assumption that the propagating object (e.g., a pathogen or a piece of information ) is transferred across network nodes without going through any modification or evolutionary adaptations. However, in real-life spreading processes, pathogens often evolve in response to…[Read more]

3% pre-mandate to 29.0% post-mandate.

From these changes, it is evident that the UNOS mandate achieved its goal of increasing equity of liver organ allocation, but HCC patients are nonetheless dropping off of the wait list at an increased rate and are therefore disadvantaged.

From these changes, it is evident that the UNOS mandate…[Read more]

Our results substantiate that cross-linked filaments contribute, for the most part, to the mechanical strength of the cytoskeleton of the cell studied and the relaxation time is determined by the dissociation dynamics of the cross-linking proteins. The severity of biomechanical defects due to these LMNA mutations correlated with the severity of…[Read more]

05). Increased psychosocial resources are associated with stress reduction. Yoga interventions targeting these resources may show stronger stress reduction effects. Future research should test these linkages more rigorously using active comparison groups and larger samples.

The antioxidant power measurement can be useful to validate the…[Read more]

05) CONCLUSION The use of PBM at a power of 100mW and 2J/cm

per point had similar effects to oral DXM for the control of pain and edema, as well as in the QOL, except for masticatory function, which was significantly better in the PBM group.

There were no differences between the PBM and DXM groups in pain or edema. In terms of the QOL, the…[Read more]

47 (95% CI 1.09-10.98)). Conclusion Patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and T2DM were mostly women and aged around 60. T2DM did not have a significant effect on tumor profile. T2DM did not significantly affect survival, although other comorbidities, such as hypertension, did.Inadequate adherence to best practice guidelines may have a negative…[Read more]
