This study examined the effect of response selection and execution on P3 latency during the performance of simple reaction time (RT) and stimulus-response compatibility tasks. Response time on these tasks was defined in terms of RT and movement time (MT). Event-related brain potentials were recorded from 67 female participants concurrently with the performance measures. On the simple RT task, t...

Radiotherapy (RT) is a common cancer treatment but often results in an unintended injury to overlying skin and contributes impaired wound healing. Skin fibroblasts (FBs) play critical roles repair. We investigated the long-term effects of RT on FB functions understand better pathological mechanisms adverse reactions RT. collected tissue biopsies from non-irradiated (RT-) irradiated (RT+) breast...

Human response time (RT) is defined as the time delay between a signal and the starting point of human action. For example, one can measure time interval from a word appearing on a computer screen to when a participant pushes a keyboard button to indicate his or her response. Two well established empirical facts of RT are the power law tails of RT distributions [1] and 1/f noise of RT time seri...

As shown in Nuechterlein's systematic and thorough review of the literature, a great deal of research on the use of reaction time (RT) to study attention in schizophrenia has been undertaken. In these studies, the properties or attributes of stimuli (modality, intensity, auditory frequency, and duration) are manipulated not to determine their direct effect on the response, but to infer indirect...

Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is an immunosuppressive, acute and highly contagious illness of growing-poultry stock infected with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). It is common in Pakistan, causing potential economic losses throughout the year. The objective of the study is to propose a rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic tool, and compare it with existing commonly used reverse tra...

results no correlation between as and history of rt, rt-to-follow-up time interval, laterality of bc, framingham’s 10-year risk score or traditional cad risk factors were detected. increase in cacs related to the senile atherosclerotic process was shown (p < 0.001). conclusions no difference between cacs was noted between bc patients with a history of 3d-crt and the non-bc women without a histo...

zno and zno: mn nanocrystals were synthesized via reverse micelle method. the structural properties of nanocrystals were investigated by xrd. the xrd results indicated that the synthesized nanocrystals had a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) structure. resistive gas sensors were fabricated by providing ohmic contacts on the tablet obtained from compressed nanocrystals powder and the installation ...

introduction ventilator-associated pneumonia (vap)  is one of the most serious and  prevalence of  complication  among patients in the intensive care unit nosocomial infections, which are often recognized after detecting symptoms. to date, there has been no proper clinical and diagnostic marker for early detection of this disease. in this study, two hcn4 and adam8 genes in patients with vap wer...

background: leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by different species of leishmania parasites with a wide range of clinical manifestations . antimonial compounds such as meglumine antimoniate (glucantime) are the first line drugs for the treatment of leishmaniasis. however, according to reports of the drug resistance of parasites, the efficacy of antimonial compounds is low. the atp-bind...
