Creosote bush, Larrea tridentata (Sesse y Moc. Ex DC, Zygophyllaceae) is a shrub found in the deserts of Northern Mexico and Southwestern United States. In traditional medicine, it is used to treat a variety of illnesses including type 2 diabetes. The present study aims to investigate the effects of creosote bush ethanolic extract on plasma and liver parameters associated with the metabolic syn...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the structural changes associated with visual acuity (VA) in patients with idiopathic macular telangiectasia (MT) type 1 using multimodal imaging modalities. METHODS A retrospective study of 14 patients with MT type 1 and of 10 eyes from 10 healthy individuals as age-matched controls was conducted. The medical records of patients who had undergone colour fundus photogra...

This paper empirically assesses the incidence and efficiency of Round I of the federal urban Empowerment Zone (EZ ) program using confidential microdata from the Decennial Census and the Longitudinal Business Database. Using rejected and future applicants to the EZ program as controls, we find that EZ designation substantially increased employment in zone neighborhoods and generated wage increa...

Purpose Our earlier study showed that the width of the intact ellipsoid zone (EZ) of the photoreceptors was significantly but weakly correlated with the amplitudes of the focal macular ERGs (FMERGs). The aim of this study was to determine a microstructure of the photoreceptors in the spectral-domain optical coherence tomographic (SD-OCT) images that was more strongly correlated with the FMERG p...

SEEG is a method and technique which is used for accurate, invasive recording of seizure activity via three dimensional recordings. In epilepsy patients who are deemed appropriate candidates for invasive recordings, the decision to monitor is made between the subdural grids versus SEEG. Invasive neuromonitoring for epilepsy is pursued in patients with complex, medically refractory epilepsy. The...

It is shown how the coherent states permit to find different geometrical objects as the geodesics, the conjugate locus, the cut locus, the Calabi’s diastasis and its domain of definition, the Euler-Poincaré characteristic, the number of Borel-Morse cells, the Kodaira embedding theorem. 1 Coherent state manifold and coherent vector manifold In this talk the coherent states [] are presented as a ...

Identifying the epileptogenic zone (EZ) in patients with refractory nonlesional frontal lobe epilepsy is frequently challenging. Intracranial EEG (icEEG) recordings are often required to better delineate the EZ, but the presence of an extensive network of connections allowing rapid ictal spread may result in bilateral homologous regional (or extremely diffuse) electrical ictal patterns. Here, w...
