Chronic migraine (CM) and episodic migraine (EM) are part of the spectrum of migraine disorders, but they are distinct clinical entities. Population-based studies have shown that those with CM demonstrate higher individual and societal burden because they are significantly more disabled than those with EM and have greater impaired quality of life both inside and outside the home. Proper diagnos...

Results: A total of 247 plastic surgeons were included. 78.6% cited previous work at least once (mean 34.3 +/87.5 self-citations). These self-citations accounted for 4.8% of all citations. Including self-citations in bibliometric analyses increased h-indices from 9.5 +/6.9 to 10.2 +/7.6. A minority of researchers (20.1%) increased their h-index via self-citation by at least one integer value (r...

Imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) has transformed proteomics by providing an avenue for collecting spatially distributed molecular data. Functional data acquired with matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) IMS consist of tens of thousands of spectra, measured at regular grid points across the surface of a tissue section. Unlike the more standard liquid chromatography mass spectrometr...

the purpose of this study is to survey cross section changes of the animal brain samples during the tension and compression tests and comparison of the experimental results for three animals: bovine, sheep, and rabbit. a linear elastic theory with considering the necking in tension and barreling in compression has been considered for brain tissue. bridgman method for tension and cross section u...

Migraine is a debilitating headache disorder that is underdiagnosed and undertreated worldwide, partially attributable to misdiagnosis and expectations of poor treatment outcomes. This article provides a review of chronic migraine, including pathophysiology, burden, diagnosis, and management, with special emphasis on the role of NPs.

This paper reviews a cyclic scheduling model of repetitive manufacturing environments consisting of exible machines and multi-stage jobs. We explicitly model two system performance measures, throughput and ow time, while incorporating variability arising from uncertainty in operation processing times. We present an iterative approximation scheme to estimate the two moment behavior of our perfor...

Deflections are among the most complex aspects of reinforced concrete behavior. Furthermore, deflection control is increasingly a governing criterion in design, especially case two-way members such as flat slabs or edge-supported slabs. However, simple and theoretically sound adequately verified methods for calculating deflections have been lacking. Therefore, this study, novel method proposed ...
