Al–TiC nanocomposite materials have been prepared by a new in situ synthesizing technique. A mixture of aluminum, titanium, and graphite has been prepared using ball milling technique and then melted in a high frequency induction heat furnace (HFIHF) at different sintering temperatures, namely 900, 1100, and 1300 °C. The effect of sintering temperature on the corrosion of the Al–TiC composite i...

Cluster analytic methods have examined the symptom presentation of chronic tic disorders (CTDs), with limited agreement across studies. The present study investigated patterns, clinical correlates, and treatment outcome of tic symptoms. 239 youth and adults with CTDs completed a battery of assessments at baseline to determine diagnoses, tic severity, and clinical characteristics. Participants w...

| Logical inference starts with concluding that if B implies A, and B is true, then A is true as well. To describe probabilistic inference rules, we must therefore deene the probability of an implication \A if B". There exist two diierent approaches to deening this probability, and these approaches lead to diierent probabilistic inference rules: We may interpret the probability of an implicatio...

The antiplatelet drug, ticlopidine (TIC), reportedly causes cholestatic liver injuries. The present study analyzed the effect of TIC on bile formation, revealing that the biliary secretion of phospholipids was significantly decreased in TIC-administered Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. However, the effect of TIC on biliary phospholipids was not observed in SD rats pretreated with diethylaminoethyl dip...

Deep brain stimulation of the thalamus has been proposed as a therapeutic option in patients with Tourette syndrome who are refractory to pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment. Patients with intractable Tourette syndrome were invited to take part in a double-blind randomized cross-over trial assessing the efficacy and safety of stimulation of the centromedian nucleus-substantia perive...

Tics are defined as involuntary, quick, sudden, and stereotypical movements or phonic productions. Despite the fact that tic suppression plays an important role for the patient's ability to cope with tic disorders, investigations of the underlying neural correlates using functional imaging focused on tic generation rather than tic suppression. We examined a patient with Gilles de la Tourette sy...

Los dispositivos móviles se están convirtiendo en una herramienta imprescindible el día a y las relaciones entre alumnado los últimos años, gracias sus usos potencialidades. A pesar de ello, uso excesivo e inadecuado puede conducir síndromes dependencia algunos casos, un factor que elevar debido la situación aislamiento provocada por COVID-19. Este estudio pretende analizar abuso TIC profesiona...
