In Brief Study Design. Prospective study. Objective. To analyze the effect of T1 slope on kyphotic alignment change after cervical laminoplasty in patients with myelopathy. Summary Background Data. Laminoplasty is a posterior method, and maintenance both preoperative postoperative lordotic prerequisite for successful surgery. Unfortunately, who underwent tend to have operation despite sufficient lordosis, such can reduce surgical outcome require additional Methods. Consecutive myelopathy...
The accurate evaluation of groundwater contamination vulnerability is essential for the management and prevention in watershed. In this study, advanced multiple machine learning (ML) models Radial Basis Neural Networks (RBNN), Support Vector Regression (SVR), ensemble Random Forest (RFR) were applied to determine most performance vulnerability. Eight factors DRASTIC-L rated based on modified DRASTIC model (MDM) used as input data. adjusted index (AVI) with nitrate values was output data...
In Brief Study Design. Retrospective study. Objective. To determine age-related changes in cervical sagittal alignment using whole-spine standing radiographs asymptomatic adults. Summary of Background Data. Modern surgical techniques have emphasized the importance maintaining proper alignment. But there is a paucity literature investigating Methods. One hundred healthy unoperated adults who were free spinal problems obtained radiographs. They consisted 2 groups divided by age: those their...
This study is a double-blind randomized controlled trial on the effect of intradermal acupuncture insomnia after stroke. Hospitalized stroke patients with were enrolled in and randomly assigned to either real group (RA group) or sham (SA group). The RA received Shen-Men (He-7) Nei-Kuan (EH-6) for three days, SA same points. was measured using Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) Athens Scale (AIS) at baseline days treatment. To assess autonomic nervous function, subjects' blood pressure heart rate...
Biogenic UO2 (uraninite) nanocrystals may be formed as a product of microbial reduction process in uranium-enriched environments near the Earth's surface. We investigated size, nanometer-scale structure, and aggregation state by iron-reducing bacterium, Shewanella putrefaciens CN32, from uranium-rich solution. Characterization biogenic precipitates high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) revealed that nanoparticles were highly aggregated organic polymers. Nearly all...
Few clinical data are available on the relationship between genospecies and outcome of Acinetobacter bacteremia, results inconsistent. We performed this study to evaluate bacteremia.Clinical from 180 patients who had bacteremia 2003 2010 were reviewed retrospectively. The identified by rpoB gene sequence analysis. features outcomes 90 with A. baumannii compared those non-baumannii (60 nosocomialis, 17 species "close 13 TU", 11 pittii, two calcoaceticus).A. was associated intensive care...
No therapeutic intervention is universally accepted as the most effective treatment for adhesive capsulitis. An intra-articular corticosteroid injection (IAI) with a suprascapular nerve block (SSNB), common this disease, safe and method resolution of pain restoration shoulder range motion (ROM).
Radioactive iodine, particularly 129I, is one of the most hazardous radioisotopes found in deep geological repositories for high-level radioactive waste (HLW). This study investigated iodide retention capacity Cu coupons, simulating canisters, under potential repository conditions. In saline environments (0.1 M NaCl + 0.01 MgSO4), was immobilized through CuI(s) formation on oxidized surface coupons. process facilitated by favorable affinity between Cu+ from coupons and I−. The exhibited...
Purpose: To investigate whether subfoveal choroidal thickness, measured using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT), is an indicator of subclinical ocular or systemic inflammation in eyes with Behçet disease (BD) without active inflammation.Methods: A retrospective analysis was used to examine clinical features non-uveitic patients BD (NUBD group), a previous history uveitis inactive state (IUBD and healthy controls were evaluated from October 2014 September...
High-pressure ion exchange of small-pore zeolite K-natrolite allows immobilization nominally non-exchangeable aliovalent cations such as trivalent europium. A sample exchanged at 3.0(1) GPa and 250 °C contains about 4.7 EuIII ions per unit cell, which is equivalent to over 90 % the K+ being (see picture).
