OBJECTIVE Parkinson's disease psychosis (PDP) is a frequent complication of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (iPD) with significant impact on quality of life and association with poorer outcomes. Atypical antipsychotic drugs (APDs) are often used for the treatment of PDP; however, their use is often complicated by adverse drug reactions (ADRs). In this study, we present patients with PDP who were...

One of the clinical features of cystic fibrosis (CF) is a deep inflammatory process, which is characterized by production and release of cytokines and chemokines, among which interleukin 8 (IL-8) represents one of the most important. Accordingly, there is a growing interest in developing therapies against CF to reduce the excessive inflammatory response in the airways of CF patients. Since tran...

There is no documentation in the literature of the risk of hypoxemia after chest percussion in acutely ill adults with nonsurgical pulmonary disorders. We studied the immediate effect of postural drainage and chest percussion (PDP) on oxygenation in 22 hospitalized patients with a variety of acute, nonsurgical pulmonary disorders. Heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and arterial blood...

Motivations of CMOS technology scaling are higher speed of operation, benefit of integration density and lower power dissipation. CMOS technology has crossed many hurdles over the past four decades. The aggressive technology scaling is causing device parameter variations, which is more severe than earlier. This paper carries out variability analysis of various popular exclusive-OR circuits at t...
