The pathophysiology of transient global amnesia (TGA) is still speculative. Recently, diffusion-weighted image (DWI) of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) documented tiny lesions in the hippocampus of patients with TGA in the acute stage. Most studies reported unilateral lesions on MRI. We present one patient of TGA with high signal-intensity lesions in bilateral hippocampus on DWI at the acute s...

BACKGROUND Fullerenes are molecules being investigated for a wide range of therapeutic applications. We have shown previously that certain fullerene derivatives (FDs) inhibit mast cell (MC) function in vitro, and here we examine their in vivo therapeutic effect on asthma, a disease in which MCs play a predominant role. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether an efficient MC-stabilizing FD (C...

Transposition of the great arteries or TGA is a potentially fatal congenital heart malformation where the pulmonary artery and the aorta are switched. The switch means that the aorta, which normally carries oxygenated blood, carries deoxygenated blood. There are two types of the malformation, d-TGA where no oxygen reaches the body and l-TGA where some oxygenated blood circulates. In the US, the...

Background: Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a clinically amnestic syndrome characterized by normal neurological function aside from sudden-onset, reversible anterograde amnesia during the episode. TGA is typically related to strenuous physical activity, severe emotional stress and some medical procedures, such as angiography, while reports of TGA related to gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy are...

Polimer biodegradable dipandang sebagai solusi potensial bagi lingkungan yang dihasilkan oleh limbah plastik. PLA adalah salah satu biopolimer paling menjanjikan karena monomer diproduksi dari bahan baku terbarukan sehingga tidak beracun. Polikaprolakton (PCL) merupakan polyester ideal bersifat non toksid, biodagradable dan memiliki sifat termal baik dengan suhu degradasi sebesar ±4000C. Selain...

the kinetics of molybdenite oxidation was studied by non-isothermal tga-dta with heating rate 5 ºc.min-1.the model-fitting kinetic approach applied to tga data .the coats-redfern method used for model fitting. the popular model-fitting gives excellent fit for non-isothermal data in chemically controlled regime. the apparent activation energy was determined to be about 34.2 kcalmol-1 with pre-ex...
