The development of 3D printable hydrogels based on the crosslinking between chitosan and gelatin is proposed. Chitosan were both functionalized with methyl furan groups. Chemical modification was performed by reductive amination furfural involving lysine residues amino groups to generate tailored properties. present in polymers exploited for efficient via Diels-Alder ligation PEG-Star-maleimide under cell-compatible conditions. obtained chitosan-gelatin hybrid employed formulate biopolymers...
Anomia, a word-finding difficulty, is frequent consequence of poststroke linguistic disturbance, associated with fluent and nonfluent aphasia that needs long-term specific intensive speech rehabilitation. The present study explored the feasibility telerehabilitation as compared to conventional face-to-face treatment naming, in patients anomia. Five aphasic chronic participated this characterized by: strictly controlled crossover design; well-balanced lists words picture-naming tasks where...
The aim of our study was to identify the common and separate mechanisms that might underpin emotion recognition impairment in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) schizophrenia (Sz) compared healthy controls (HCs). We recruited 21 Sz outpatients, 24 severe TBI 38 HCs, we used eye-tracking compare facial processing performance. Both were significantly poorer at recognizing emotions HC. showed a different way exploring Pictures Facial Affects stimuli worse neutral expressions. Selective...
During the last decade, different robotic devices have been developed for motor rehabilitation of stroke survivors. These shown to offer therapeutic benefits and improve functional outcomes. The aim this study is evaluate effects a robot-mediated therapy on upper limb in chronic hemiparetic subjects. An innovative method assessment was developed: it based integrated analysis (i) quantitative parameters computed from EEG signals, (ii) kinematic dynamic data recorded during execution planar...
Until now mean-field-type game theory was not focused on cognitively-plausible models of choices in humans, animals, machines, robots, software-defined and mobile devices strategic interactions. This work presents some effects users' psychology games. In addition to the traditional "material" payoff modelling, psychological patterns are introduced order better capture understand behaviors that observed engineering practice or experimental settings. The value depends upon choices, mean-field...
A large body of research has shown that Oxytocin (OXT) is an important prosocial peptide and there also initial evidence the central OXT system altered in several mental disorders are characterized by severe social disturbances deficits, such as anxiety with prominent dysfunction (e.g., schizophrenia) mood borderline personality disorder. In particular, Feifel et al. (2010) Pedersen al (2011) recently conducted two randomized, placebo-controlled study intranasal oxytocin schizophrenia...
