The purpose of this study was to identify the frequency components of accelerations measured on the spinous processes of vertebrae caused by chiropractic treatments, and to speculate as to the origin of the various components. We found distinct acceleration signals in the range of 0-50 Hz and above 200 Hz. The low frequency components were convincingly matched to the displacements caused by the...

The lacunar skull is a fetal ossification disorder first defined in the early 19th century, commonly associated with spina bifida and meningocele, rarely seen as an isolated defect. It characterized by defects on inner table of skull, form shallow depressions or deep cavitations causes to appear fenestrated because mesenchymal dysplasia during intramembranous ossification. These bone may be pre...

background: transient and stable transformation of host plants are the common techniques to produce transgenic plants. however, the main drawback of stable transformation is the fact that it takes quite a long time to produce a transgenic line. while, transient gene expression is a quick method to produce recombinant proteins in plants.  objective: the main goal of the present study was to eval...

cerebrovascular attack (cva) and transient ischemic attack (tia) are major causes of emergency department visits around the globe. a significant number of these patients may experience repeat attacks if left untreated. several risk stratifying scoring systems have been developed in recent years to point out the high risk patients. abcd 2 is based on age, blood pressure, clinical status, diabete...
