autism and fragile x syndrome have multiple behavioral phenotypes in common, however there has been little research into the potential role of fragile x mental retardation protein (fmrp) in autism. we sought to measure protein levels of fmrp in the lateral cerebella of subjects with autism and matched controls. we found significantly reduced levels of fmrp (p<0.0063) in subjects with autism. th...

Ankle movements in the frontal plane are less prominent though not less relevant than movements in the plantar or dorsal flexion direction. Walking on uneven terrains and standing on narrow stances are examples of circumstances likely imposing marked demands on the ankle medio-lateral stabilization. Following our previous evidence associating lateral bodily sways in quiet standing to activation...

conclusions the application of dn produces an improvement in ilf and clf can be prescribed for subjects with mtp in ut muscles. results statistical analysis (paired t-test) revealed significant increase in neck lateral flexion range of motion in contra-lateral side after treatment sessions in control and experimental group compared with pre-treatment score (p < 0.05). however, only dry needling...

Background and Aims: The accurate mechanisms of ankle instability cannot be assessed in the absence of reliable knowledge about ground reaction force (GRF) variables. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability of GRF variables during forward and lateral jump-landing in volleyball players with functional ankle instability (FAI). Methods: Eighteen professional volle...

In this paper, the robust stability analysis of a fuzzy vehicle lateral system with perturbed parameters is presented. Firstly, the fuzzy controller can be linearized by utilizing the describing function method with experiments. After the describing function is obtained, the stability analysis of the vehicle lateral control system with the variations of velocity and friction is then carried out...

Abstract: This paper presents an active Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) strategy for vehicle lateral dynamics. A bicycle vehicle model using small angle approximations is used to represent vehicle behavior. Firstly, the nonlinear lateral vehicle dynamics is approximated by a TakagiSugeno fuzzy model with parametric uncertainties and sensor faults. Secondly a robust H∞ output controller is used. A ...

background and aims. localized gingival recession presents as a special therapeutic problem. subjective parameters and donor site morbidity are often overlooked while deciding on any treatment option. materials and methods. 22 subjects were equally divided in group a (lateral pedicle graft) and group b (free mucosal graft). subjective evaluation of post operative sensitivity, discomfort and ble...

AIMS To characterize mitral medial and lateral annular velocities in constrictive pericarditis or restrictive cardiomyopathy compared with normal subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS Tissue Doppler imaging peak systolic velocity (S'), peak early diastolic annular velocity (e'), and timing difference between mitral early flow and early annular movement were measured in 14 patients with constrictive p...
