A 65-year-old man who had been diagnosed with transient global amnesia (TGA) 15 years previously was admitted to hospital with complaints of amnesia and headache. His symptoms improved on day-2. The initial brain MRI and electroencephalography findings were normal. He was diagnosed with a recurrence of TGA and discharged. However, he returned with right leg weakness and complained of a thunderc...

Sudden memory loss, with prolonged cognitive deterioration, clinically initially resembling a transitory global amnesia (TGA)-like episode, might be caused by ischemic stroke in the hippocampal regions. We report a patient with TGA-type sudden anterograde amnesia and normal head CT. Examinations revealed that the patient had several vascular risk factors and 3 tesla (T) head MRI showed ischemic...

The thermal Gaussian approximation (TGA) recently developed by Frantsuzov et al. [Chem. Phys. Lett. 381, 117 (2003)] has been demonstrated to be a practical way for approximating the Boltzmann operator exp(-betaH) for multidimensional systems. In this paper the TGA is combined with semiclassical (SC) initial value representations (IVRs) for thermal time correlation functions. Specifically, it i...

* This work was supported in part by NSC89-2213-E-327-007. AbstractGenetic Algorithm (GA) is a well-known heuristic optimization algorithm. However, it suffers from the serious problem of premature convergence, which is caused mainly by the population diversity decreasing in evolution. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm, called TGA, which integrates the memory structure and search stra...

In this longitudinal study multichannel MEG was used to localize and to quantify focal pathological spontaneous neuromagnetic activity in six patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and two patients with transient global amnesia (TGA). Slow (2-6 Hz) and beta (14-30 Hz) activity were monitored up to 10 weeks. Results were compared with normative data, and changes over time were statistica...

Article history: Received on: 29/05/2014 Revised on: 12/06/2014 Accepted on: 30/06/2014 Available online: 28/07/2014 In this study effect of gamma irradiation sterilization and storage conditions on thermal properties of phase sensitive granisetron in situ forming implant (ISFI) was investigated. ISFI was prepared by mixing Poly (DLlactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) : pr...

7 Abstract 8 A systematic investigation of the thermal decomposition of viscoelastic memory 9 foam (VMF) was performed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to obtain the 10 kinetic parameters, and thermogravimetric analysis coupled to Fourier Transformed 11 Infrared Spectrometry (TGA-FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis coupled to Mass 12 Spectrometry (TGA-MS) to obtain detailed information o...

INTRODUCTION Patients with cancer have a 7- to 10-fold increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism. Circulating microvesicles could be a useful predictive biomarker for venous thromboembolism in cancer. Validated and standardised techniques that could be used to determine the complete microvesicle phenotype are required. OBJECTIVES These were two-fold: a) to characterise tissue factor...

OBJECTIVE To assess the relation between exercise intensity and oxygen uptake during graded exercise in paediatric patients who underwent surgical repair of congenital heart disease, and to compare it with conventional measures of aerobic exercise function. DESIGN Cross sectional study. Exercise testing was performed on a treadmill and gas exchange was measured on a breath by breath basis. ...

Controlled conditions have been found that give complete reactivation and long term stabilization of rhodanese (EC 2.8.1.1) after oxidative inactivation by hydrogen peroxide. Inactivated rhodanese was completely reactivated by reductants such as thioglycolic acid (TGA) (100 mM) and dithiothreitol (DTT) (100 mM) or the substrate thiosulfate (100 mM) if these reagents were added soon after inacti...
