A stroke is a disruption of blood supply to the brain that leads disability. Rehabilitation can reduce damage and other complications also recover disability due stroke. One instrument be used in post-stroke patients monitoring Electroencephalogram (EEG). EEG signals are recorded from several channel pairs. So apart maintaining signal sequences, handling time connectivity between channels essen...

On the morning of 5 June 2013, two cameras of the SpriteCam network concurrently captured a red sprite with diffuse halo over a mesoscale convective system (MCS) passing the panhandle area of Oklahoma. This sprite was produced by a negative cloud-to-ground (CG) stroke with peak current of!103 kA in amanner different from previous observations in several aspects. First of all, the causative stro...

Ah, I see you have the machine that goes " ping! ". This is my favorite. W hen the Monty Python comedy film parodied the use of medical technology they raised an important point; doctors are easily seduced by new technology and need to look critically at what is in the best interests of their patients. Therefore, our key question here, what is the best pathway of care for this man at this time?...

In this study, the diffusivity and volumetric mass transfer coefficients for the extraction of β-carotene from crude palm oil using CO2 solvent in supercritical fluid were determined in the pressure range of 7.5-17.5 MPa and temperature range of 80-120 ºC. For this purpose, a statistical method was applied in order to minimize the number of experiments required. The volumetric ma...

The Outcome of Stroke at Hospital Discharge in New York City Blacks • Of 527 black patients admitted with new stroke to a municipal general hospital, 311 (59%) were discharged alive. Thirty-nine percent of survivors were independent with minimal or mild deficit. Thirty-two percent were independent with significant neurological deficit. Twenty-two percent were dependent, of whom half went home w...

Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is an important vascular control mechanism responsible for relatively stable cerebral blood flow despite changes of systemic blood pressure (BP). Impaired CA may leave brain tissue unprotected against potentially harmful effects of BP fluctuations. It is generally accepted that CA is less effective or even inactive at frequencies >∼0.1 Hz. Without any physiological ...

This paper investigates a new approach for color transfer. Rather than transferring color from one image to another globally, we propose a system with a stroke-based user interface to provide a direct indication mechanism. We further present a multiple local color transfer method. Through our system the user can easily enhance a defect (source) photo by referring to some other good quality (tar...

Background: Impairment of motor function and activities daily living is very common in post-stroke patients. Acupuncture has been used stroke for a long time. Although growing evidence supports the beneficial effects acupuncture, there still no clear conclusion on optimal intervention time-point acupuncture stroke. Thus, we tried to assess efficacy safety dissimilar time-points by network meta-...
