Symptoms of visuospatial neglect occur frequently after unilateral brain damage. Neglect hampers rehabilitation progress and is associated with reduced quality of life. However, existing treatment methods show limited efficacy. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a neuromodulatory technique, which can be used to increase or decrease brain excitability. Its combination with convent...

the purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of three and five sessions on of the continuous aerobic training on high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) in wistar 14848 rats (325.6+4.93 grams, 21.5 months old and they stopped fertility for at least 3 months). for this purpose, 56 rats were divided randomly into a control group and two experimental groups. the experimental gro...

In 2021, large South African university this study moved online platform, becoming week-long conducted on Microsoft Teams and c...

OBJECTIVE To examine whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied over the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) improves visuospatial attention in stroke patients with left visuospatial neglect. METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups: anodal tDCS over the right PPC, cathodal tDCS over the left PPC, or sham tDCS. Each patient underwent 15 sessions of tD...

background and objectives: the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (insulin resistance) in individuals with down's syndrome is more than healthy people, which is possibly because of the high prevalence of obesity among them. adiponectin is one of adipose tissue-secreted adipocytokines, which plays a role in pathogenesis of obesity and insulin resistance. this study was carried out with the aim of d...

INTRODUCTION Preliminary evidence in adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and in SMA animal models suggests exercise has potential benefits in improving or stabilizing muscle strength and motor function. METHODS We evaluated feasibility, safety, and effects on strength and motor function of a home-based, supervised progressive resistance strength training exercise program in children wit...
