Background and Purpose— Although there is some early evidence showing the value of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in stroke rehabilitation, therapeutic effect high-frequency rTMS, along with physiology rTMS-induced corticomotor excitability supporting motor learning stroke, has not been established. This study investigated cortical associated skill acquisition chronic patients. Methods— Fifteen patients hemiparetic (13 men; mean age 53.5 years) practiced a complex,...
We investigated the effect of task-oriented training (TT) on cortical activation pattern in four chronic hemiparetic stroke patients. A TT program, consisting six tasks, which were designed to improve upper extremity function, was performed for 40 min/day, 4 days/week weeks. The functional status affected hand and fMRI assessed before after program. at 1.5 T parallel with timed finger flexion–extension exercises a fixed rate. main changes recovery decrease unaffected an increase primary...
Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties Smart Management Strategy for Health Assessment Tool (SAT), which we developed enable cancer patients assess their self‐management (SM) strategies health by themselves. Patients and methods development questionnaire included four phases: item generation, construction, pilot testing, field testing. To instrument's sensitivity validity, recruited 300 from three Korean hospitals who were 18 or more years...
We evaluated the hand motor function of a right hemiparetic patient with schizencephaly using combination fMRI, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). Only unaffected (right) primary sensori-motor cortex was found to be activated during either affected or movements. Evoked potentials similar characteristics were obtained from both abductor pollicis brevis muscles simultaneously when stimulating cortex. Moreover, tract presumed corticospinal observed in...
Background South Korea has been experiencing a third wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) since mid-November 2020. Our hospital in Gwangju metropolitan city experienced healthcare-associated COVID-19 outbreak early the wave. The first confirmed patient was symptomatic neurosurgery resident with high mobility throughout hospital. We analyzed transmission routes nosocomial and discussed infection control strategies. Methods retrospectively severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 reverse...
Abstract Aim Post‐embolization syndrome is a common adverse event following trans‐arterial chemoembolization, which negatively impacts the daily life of patients involved. This study examined whether perceptions around post‐embolization and symptom interference among nurses affect their comfort care performance toward who have undergone this procedure. Design A descriptive cross‐sectional study. Methods One hundred fifty registered were surveyed from September to November 2020. Perceived...
Abstract Salivary stones, known as sialoliths, form within the salivary ducts due to abnormal composition and cause painful symptoms, for which surgical removal is primary treatment. This study explored role of microbial communities in formation sialoliths. We conducted a comparative analysis present saliva sequenced 16S rRNA gene samples obtained from patients with sialoliths healthy individuals. Although diversity was high, essential features environment were low evenness. The association...

Diffusion tensor image tracography (DTT) could be useful for exploration of the state corticospinal tract at subcortical white matter level. We investigated neural pathway associated with motor recovery in patients corona radiata infarct (CR) using DTT.Three hemiparetic who showed severe weakness affected upper extremity stroke onset, were recruited. DTT was performed twice (subacute and chronic stage) 1.5-T system. Three-dimensional reconstructions fiber tracts obtained FA <0.2, angle >45...
In a 3-D medical ultrasound imaging system, matrix array probe with 2-D positioning of the elements allows high resolution images due to its capability two-dimensional dynamic focusing. However, hundreds (up thousands) in make fabrication transducers and cables challenging. this paper, achieve quality low hardware complexity, we introduce column-based micro-beamformer (CMB) which column is considered as sub-array then elevational lateral beamformings are sequentially conducted analog digital...
Perceived safety culture and nursing work environment are considered important prerequisites for a patient activity. Patient is also associated with person-centered care; however, few studies apply the care framework which includes staff attributes environment. This study aimed to examine canonical correlations of factors, including professional self-concept, culture, environment, activities nurses working in small-medium-sized hospitals. A cross-sectional survey was used. Participants...
To attain the volumetric information of optic radiation in normal human brains, we performed diffusion tensor imaging examination 13 healthy volunteers. Simultaneously, used a brain normalization method to reduce individual variation and increase accuracy analysis. In addition, tractography-based group mapping was also investigate probability distribution pathways. Our results showed that measured fiber tract volume range about 0.16% fractional anisotropy value 0.53. Moreover, pathway...
Objective: To evaluate the effects of Catalpa bignonioides fruit extract on promotion muscle growth and muscular capacity in vitro vivo. Methods: Cell viability was measured using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. proliferation assessed a 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine (BrdU) assay kit. Western blot analysis performed to determine protein expressions related factors. The were investigated mice treadmill exhaustion test whole-limb grip strength Chemical composition...
<title>Abstract</title> Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (SARS2) infection (PASC) is a heterogeneous condition, but the main viral drivers are unknown. Here, we use MENSA, Media Enriched with Newly Synthesized Antibodies, secreted exclusively from circulating human plasmablasts, to provide an immune snapshot that defines underlying triggers. We proof-of-concept testing MENSA technology can capture new host response accurately diagnose acute primary and breakthrough infections when known...
This paper investigates the phenomenon of conspicuous consumption in South Korea’s luxury market under conditions economic uncertainty. While traditional theories suggest that spending should decrease during periods financial instability, Korean demonstrates a contrasting trend, where not only persists but often intensifies. Through qualitative interviews with consumers, industry experts, and analysts, this study explores cultural, social, psychological factors driving behavior. The findings...
Airway compromise due to prevertebral soft tissue swelling is a potentially devastating complication following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). However, there are no studies on the postoperative patient posture for enhancing airway patency after ACDF. This study aimed analyze effect of neck mouth postures ACDF suggest beneficial improving patency. A retrospective review 39 patients who underwent in C3 or C4 level was conducted. diameter thickness were measured six different...
We investigated the motor control pathway in 3 patients with pontine infarct using diffusion tensor tractography and functional magnetic resonance imaging. The tracts of affected hemisphere were observed to pass along same spared peri-infarct corticospinal tract area pons on both first second tractography. It seems that main function these is controlled via tract.
가정에서 유치가 탈락하였을 경우 쉽게 구할 수 있는 저장 용액에 보관한 후, 보관되었던 유치에서 세포를 배양할 있다면 지금보다 더 많은 유치로부터 줄기 추출할 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 유치의 치수 세포가 다양한 보관 용액의 종류와 기간에 영향을 받는지 확인해 보고자 하였다. 330개의 탈락 유치를 신선군, 건조군, 세포배양액 2, 4, 7일 보관군, 우유 생리식염수 보관군으로 각각 30개씩 무작위로 나누었다. 각 군 간의 유치 조직 세포의 일차 배양을 시행하여 성공한 개수와 실패한 개수를 계산하여 생존 성공률을 비교하였다. 배양 결과 기간이 늘어날수록 시 성공률이 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 2일 보관군과 4일 보관군까지 세포배양액, 우유, 따른 성공률의 유의할 만한 차이는 없었다. 그러나 보관군에서는 세포배양액에 비해 우유와 생리식염수에 유의하게 떨어지는 발거 후 우유나 등의 보관용액에 일정 기간 그 조직을 세포 배양에 사용하는 것이 가능하지만 길어질수록 획득 가능성이...
