Due to the increasing use and production of nanomaterials (NMs), the ability to characterise their physical/chemical properties quickly and reliably has never been so important. Proper characterisation allows a thorough understanding of the material and its stability, and is critical to establishing dose-response curves to ascertain risks to human and environmental health. Traditionally, method...

The United States securities markets have served as the subject of a continuing debate regarding the structure most beneficial to local market participants. A consolidated market structure reduces transactions cost by increasing liquidity in the shares of a security. Conversely, fragmentation creates a system wherein competition flourishes and innovation is fostered. Balancing these opposing vi...

Most object detection systems consist of three stages. First, a set of individual hypotheses for object locations is generated using a proposal generating algorithm. Second, a classifier scores every generated hypothesis independently to obtain a multi-class prediction. Finally, all scored hypotheses are filtered via a non-differentiable and decoupled non-maximum suppression (NMS) post-processi...

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious mental illness that causes significant physical, emotional, cognitive, and social impairments. AN most often develops during adolescence or young adulthood and has high mortality and morbidity rates, in addition to cost burden. Current treatment of AN is multidisciplinary and is typically with a combination of medical, nutritional, and psychological interventi...

Several studies have reported on catatonia caused by the use of antipsychotic drugs and on the association between catatonia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), but none has reported such a case in Korea. Here, we report the case of a 20-year-old woman whose catatonia and NMS appeared associated with the administration of an atypical antipsychotic drug. We discuss the association between ...

In the past two decades, use of biomolecules, either from biological or biomimetic systems (or so-called synthesis), has emerged as a promising green approach to synthesize gold nanomaterials (Au NMs). Here, we describe recent progress on and syntheses Au NMs. We focus our discussions selection principles synthesis mechanisms involving evolution synthesis, contributions bioinspired production h...

The prevalence of non-motor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson's Disease (PD) has varied between studies. Their interrelation isn't totally understood. Also, the relative importance of each symptom, regarding its impact on activities of daily living (ADL) and health related quality of life (HRQL), remains debatable. We assessed all PD patients attending a Portuguese tertiary movement disorders center ...

BACKGROUND Medication non-adherence is considered an important cause of morbidity and mortality in primary care. This study aims to determine the effectiveness, cost effectiveness and acceptability of a complex intervention delivered by community pharmacists, the New Medicine Service (NMS), compared with current practice in reducing non-adherence to, and problems with, newly prescribed medicine...

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a life-threatening idiosyncratic reaction that usually occurs after the administration of antipsychotic drugs. Antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and antiepileptic drugs are also suggested to be associated with NMS. It is believed to result from a dopaminergic blockade in the central nervous system. NMS is manifested by hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, auton...
