BACKGROUND The ability of antihyperuricemic therapy to exert renoprotective effects in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is controversial. In the present study, we studied patient characteristics that may mask favorable impact of antihyperuricemic therapy on the progression of CKD. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective, follow-up study. One-hundred and seventy-eight CKD pat...

Extracellular local field potentials (LFPs) and multiunit activity (MUA) reflect the spatially integrated activity of multiple neurons in a given cortical structure. In the cat and primate visual cortices, these signals exhibit selectivity for visual stimulus features, such as orientation, direction of motion or spatial frequency. In the mouse visual cortex, a model which has been increasingly ...

Groups of neurons tend to synchronize in distinct frequency bands. Within a given frequency band, synchronization is defined as the consistency of phase relations between site pairs, over time. This synchronization has been investigated in numerous studies and has been found to be modulated by sensory stimulation or cognitive conditions. Here, we investigate local field potentials (LFPs) and mu...

Background: Recent studies show similar outcomes between lysis of adhesions (LOA) and manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA) in patients with arthrofibrosis within 3 to 6 months after arthroscopic knee procedures. As MUA offers positive efficacy less expense more convenience, the first consideration clinical practice shifting may save much medical cost when is non-inferior surgery. There a lack e...
