Nanoparticles synthesis is an evergreen research field of 21st century in which the connotation biomediated experimental process highly imperative. Biomediated silver nanoparticles were synthesized with aid eco-friendly biomaterial, namely, aqueous Azadirachta indica extract. The effect pH and temperature on formation was analyzed. Formation verified by surface plasmon spectra using a UV–vis spectrophotometer. Morphology crystalline structure prepared characterized TEM XRD techniques,...
Three-dimensional (3D) copper–cobalt (Cu–Co)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hierarchical architectures are electrochemically deposited over a pencil graphite electrode (PGE), and the modified PGE is directly exploited as binder-free disposable for high performance nonenzymatic glucose sensors. The morphological features substantiate that Cu–Co nanostructures display 3D, open, porous, interconnected network architecture, in which rGO layers tightly pinned among nanofeelers. Owing to benefits of...
Uniform sized Ni–Co alloy nanoparticles were effectively confined over the active channels of mesoporous silica (MSN) using a simple chemical reduction method, and resultant nanostructures exhibited spherical configuration with mean diameter 5 nm.
The Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) is the most popular instrument for evaluating upper extremity motor function in stroke patients. However, it a labor-intensive and time-consuming method. This paper proposes novel automated FMA system to overcome these limitations of FMA. For automation, we used Kinect v2 force sensing resistor sensors owing their convenient installation as compared with body-worn sensors. Based on linguistic guideline FMA, rule-based binary logic classification algorithm was...
Assessment of functional independence and residual disability is very important for measuring treatment outcome after stroke. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) the Barthel Index (MBI) are commonly used scales to measure or dependence in activities daily living (ADL) stroke survivors. Lack consensus regarding MBI score categories has caused confusion interpreting outcomes. purpose this study was identify optimal corresponding scale grades categorization MBI. Korean versions (K-MBI) mRS were...
Background and objectives Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remains a significant global health concern, therefore, understanding their functional outcomes is essential. The aim of this study was to investigate the 1-year patients with aSAH. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data aSAH from Korean Stroke Cohort for Functioning Rehabilitation study, up post-onset. cohort were collected twice. 1st August 2012 through May 2015, 2nd January December in 2020, nine different hospitals....
Importance Longitudinal changes in functional levels can provide valuable information about disability. However, longitudinal outcomes aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have not been well reported, which could insight into appropriate management and for patients experiencing Objective To investigate the 5-year prognosis of with aSAH. Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective cohort study used data aSAH from Korean Stroke Cohort Functioning Rehabilitation up to 5 years after...
A copper ferrite (CuFe2O4)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposite was developed via a one-pot strategy by using environmentally favorable pigeon excreta as reducing and stabilization agent. The obtained micrographs substantiated that the spherical-shaped CuFe2O4 nanostructures were uniformly anchored over rGO sheets. mechanism involved in simultaneous reduction of GO sheets Cu2+/Fe2+ ions is explicated with number structural characterizations. electrocatalytic activities as-prepared for...
Zero-dimensional-two-dimensional (0D-2D) hybrid optoelectronic devices have demonstrated high sensitivity and performance due to the absorption coefficient of 0D materials with a tunable detection range carrier transport property 2D materials. However, reported 0D-2D employ toxic nanomaterials as sensitizing layers, which can limit practical applications. In this study, we first fabricated photodetector using nontoxic InP quantum dots (QDs) light-absorbing layer black phosphorus (BP) layer....
Background and Purpose— The theory of cognitive reserve (CR) was introduced to account for individual differences in the clinical manifestation neuropathology. This study investigated whether CR has a modulating effect on impairment recovery after stroke. Methods— is an interim analysis Korean Stroke Cohort Functioning Rehabilitation. A total 7459 patients with first-ever stroke were included analysis. Education, occupation, composite scores derived from those 2 variables used as proxies....
Motor and sensory deficits after spinal cord injury (SCI) result in functional reorganization of the sensorimotor network. While several task-evoked magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies demonstrated alteration network SCI, there has been no study possible resting-state connectivity using fMRI. The aim this was to investigate changes brain cortex patients with SCI. We evaluated scores between areas within 18 SCI controls. Our findings that, compared control subjects, showed increased...
Silver nanoparticles were biosynthesized with the aid of a novel and eco-friendly biological material Torreya nucifera. Temperature extract concentration found to influence size shape silver nanoparticles. Morphological images nanomaterials revealed that particles are in spherical ranging between 10 125 nm. Crystalline nature face centered cubic (fcc) structure was ensured by diffraction pattern peaks corresponding (1 1 1), (2 0 0), 2 0) (3 1) planes. Characterization performed X-ray Fourier...
To determine the incidence and risk factors for medical complications in Korean patients suffering from stroke impact of such on post-stroke functional outcomes.We assessed enrolled a prospective cohort study. All recruited had suffered first acute episode been admitted to nine university hospitals Korea between August 2012 June 2015. We analyzed patient characteristics, comorbidities, prevalence complications, outcomes at time discharge 3, 6, 12 months after onset.Of 10,625 with stroke,...
To investigate the return to work status of patients with first-ever stroke functional independence 6 months post-stroke.Prospective cohort study.Nine hundred and thirty-three at after onset.A complete post-enumeration survey was performed through a review medical records for first admission. In addition, structured self-administered questionnaires face-to-face interview were assessing occupational status, quality life, emotional stroke.Of in this study, 60.0% returned stroke. Sex, age,...
Long-term changes in caregiver burden should be clarified considering that extended post-stroke disability can increase stress. We assessed long-term severity and its predictors. This study was a retrospective analysis of the Korean Stroke Cohort for Functioning Rehabilitation. Patients with an acute first-ever stroke were enrolled from August 2012 to May 2015. Data collected at 6 months years after onset. The measured subjective questionnaire based on version Caregiver Burden Inventory....
Development of a long-term stroke care plan requires serial assessment patient function and consideration caregiver mood. However, to date, few comprehensive cohort studies have included both patients caregivers. KOSCO is large, multi-centre prospective study for all acute first-ever admitted participating hospitals in nine distinct areas Korea. This designed as 10-year, longitudinal follow-up investigating the residual disabilities, activity limitations, quality life issues arising...
