The ?-axons supplying muscle spindle (MS) induce a particular pattern of activity in spindle Ia and II afferents on contraction. From a dynamic viewpoint, the Ia shows increasing spike rates, but II-afferents do not show any activity. For evaluation of nerve fiber activity, spike amplitude (SA) is suggested to measure it as well as its benefit of diagnosing clinical symptoms. This paper aims to...

The traditional consideration of architectural history as a linear process, where one style successively replaces another, still dominates, but does not explain many phenomena. V.S. Goryunov substantiated fundamentally different, non-linear model the historical process in architecture on basis 19th – early 20th centuries. V. S. and M. P. Tubli proposed stylistic polyphony with introduction conc...

OBJECTIVE This paper prospectively evaluates the long-term follow-up [mean ± standard deviation (SD) duration: 89.7±19.4 months] data of 15 patients (13 females and 2 males) with refractory symptomatic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) treated with rituximab. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rituximab was administered at 375 mg/m2 weekly for a total of 4 doses. Complete response (CR) was defined as a platel...

the study of planktonic foraminifera of the ilam and gurpi formations at sarvestan area (se of shiraz) enables me to find the most standard biozones defined in mediterranean regions, especially tethysian domain. seven biozones were determined. biozones i (dicarinella concavata zone) and ii (dicarinella asymetrica zone) belong to the ilam formation and indicate the late coniacian-early santonian...

INTRODUCTION It is well established that childhood maltreatment has a detrimental impact on the brain, particularly the hippocampus. However, the hippocampus is a functionally and structurally heterogeneous region, and little is known about how maltreatment might affect hippocampal subregion development throughout important periods of plasticity. This study investigated whether childhood maltre...

PURPOSE To examine the relationship between menarcheal age and anthropometric indices and menstrual irregularity in late adolescent girls in Seoul. METHODS We surveyed 4,218 fertile adolescent girls between the ages of 16 and 18 years to determine their anthropometric indices and menarcheal age. Measurements were taken from June 2008 to October 2009 at seven girl's high schools in Seoul, Kore...
