29 The pregnant female human angiotensinogen (hAGN) transgenic rat mated with the male 30 human renin (hREN) transgenic rat (TgA) is a model of preeclampsia with increased blood 31 pressure, proteinuria, and placenta alterations of edema and necrosis at late gestation. We 32 studied vascular responses and the role of COX-derived prostanoids in the uterine artery 33 (UA) at early gestation in th...

The integrity of temporal lobe activity during and after recovery from transient global amnesia (TGA) was assessed in a case study using functional MRI. TGA was associated with scene-encoding deficits in a temporolimbic circuit that recovered over time. Frontoparietal areas recruited during the amnesic state may signify a compensatory reliance on visuospatial or working memory strategies. Reduc...

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a disorder characterized by a sudden attack of severe anterograde amnesia, where patients are unable to learn and recall novel information during the event. Although fi rst described at least 60 years ago, the etiology and pathophysiology of TGA remain unclear and have been a matter of debate among clinicians and researchers. In this paper, we present a case of...

BACKGROUND Recently a causal relation between internal jugular vein valve incompetence (IJVVI) and transient global amnesia (TGA) has been suggested. IJVVI is postulated to provoke a transient mesiotemporal ischaemia by venous congestion. This mechanism requires a patent venous pathway from the affected IJV through the transverse sinus, confluens, straight sinus (SS), vein of Galen into the bas...

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a temporary disease with an unexplained aetiology. The clinical picture of TGA is characterised by retrograde amnesia (spanning from several days to several years), anterograde amnesia (from few to several hours, most often from 4 to 8), significant disorientation with respect to time (about 50% of the patients) and place (above 90% patients), preserved auto-or...

The prevalence of celiac disease autoimmunity or tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies (TGA) amongst patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in the Chinese population remains unknown. This study examined the rate of celiac disease autoimmunity amongst patients with T1D and AITD in the Chinese population. The study included 178 patients with type 1 diabetes and...

Sir, We read with great interest the letter of McCorry and Crowley concerning an attack of transient global amnesia (TGA) considered secondary to herpes simplex viral encephalitis. Some features of the reported attack are unusual. The patient was a relatively young person: 39 years compared with an average age of 61 with TGA. At the beginning the patient suddenly became ‘distressed’; he realize...

BACKGROUND Our prior work on congenital heart disease (CHD) with heterotaxy, a birth defect involving randomized left-right patterning, has shown an association of a high prevalence of airway ciliary dysfunction (CD; 18/43 or 42%) with increased respiratory symptoms. Furthermore, heterotaxy patients with ciliary dysfunction were shown to have more postsurgical pulmonary morbidities. These findi...

Once seen, the syndrome of transient global amnesia (TGA) is never forgotten. Patients abruptly discover that they are unable to recall recent events. Their perplexity is deepened by an inability to retain new information. This leads to repetitive but futile questioning of their companions. Attacks typically last about 4 hours. By the next day patients report that their memory is back to normal...

The job-shop scheduling problem is the important issues to the research of optimal problems. Besides, tabu search is also applied to GA, called TGA for traveling salesman problem (TSP) that has better effectiveness than GA. Thus, this is an interest and important research area for job-shop scheduling problem with TGA. In this paper, we try to discuss this issue. According to the TGA, it maintai...
