BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In humans, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) causes marked perihematomal edema formation and neurological deficits. A rat ICH model, involving infusion of autologous blood into the caudate, has been used extensively to study mechanisms of edema formation, but an examination of behavioral outcome would improve its preclinical utility and provide a more rigorous assessment of ...

OBJECTIVE An awake craniotomy facilitates radical excision of eloquent area gliomas and ensures neural integrity during the excision. The study describes our experience with 67 consecutive awake craniotomies for the excision of such tumours. METHODS Sixty-seven patients with gliomas in or adjacent to eloquent areas were included in this study. The patient was awake during the procedure and in...

Abstract Background: Despite the importance of functional-performance deficits in athletes with history of ankle sprain few, studies have been carried out in this area. The aim of this research was to study relationship between previous ankle sprains and functional-performance deficits in athletes. Materials and methods: The subjects were 40 professional athletes selected through random sampl...

but also in face-processing, gaze monitoring and joint attention [3,8]. Failures in low-level inputs to ToM computations could account for their deficits on these tests. Without co-morbid intellectual disability, individuals with autism seem to have intact capacities for metarepresentation and recursion, as indexed by false-photograph tests and mathematical ability [4,9]. All known cases of pat...

Abstract Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) has experienced an explosion in use due to a shifting understanding of epileptic networks and wider application minimally invasive epilepsy surgery techniques. Both subdural electrode (SDE) monitoring SEEG serve important roles defining the epileptogenic zone, limiting functional deficits, formulating most effective surgical plan. Strengths include a...

The standardized precipitation index (SPI) is one of the most widely used indices for characterizing and monitoring drought in various regions. SPI's applicability has regional time-scale constraints when it observes several homogeneous climatic regions with similar characteristics. It also does not provide sufficient knowledge about deficits spatiotemporal evolution drought. Therefore, a new m...

The plant <span>requires thirteen different nutrients. two main types of nutrients are micronutrients and macronutrients. Diseases develop due to deficiency vital nutrients, resulting in colored spots on the leaves. Plant development is affected by toxicity or lack one more these death. As a result, continuous monitoring system necessary know nutritional status plants enhance production e...

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is a psychophysical method used to quantify somatosensory function in response to controlled stimuli in healthy subjects and patients. Although QST shares similarities with the quantitative assessment of hearing or vision, which is extensively used in clinical practice and research, it has not gained a large acceptance among clinicians for many reasons, and in...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) monitor global spinal cord function, and the interpretation of motor loss is based on inferred rather than direct measurements. Therefore, SSEPs may not be useful for identifying motor function deficits caused by anterior spinal column injury or nerve root injury during decompression or placement of instrumentation. For these reasons, a...
