Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common cause of long-term disability and death among young adults, it represents an enormous socioeconomic healthcare burden. Our purpose to evaluate effects a virtual reality training with BTs-Nirvana (BTs-N) on recovery cognitive functions in TBI subjects, using interactive semi-immersive program. One hundred patients were enrolled this study randomized into either Traditional Cognitive Rehabilitation Group (TCRG: n = 50) or Virtual Reality Training...
Motor impairment is the most common symptom in multiple sclerosis (MS). Thus, a variety of new rehabilitative strategies, including robotic gait training, have been implemented, showing their effectiveness. The aim our study was to investigate whether an intensive preceding traditional treatment, could be useful improving and potentiating motor performance MS patients. Forty-five patients, who fulfilled inclusion criteria, were enrolled this randomized into either control group (CG) or...
Thin films of MAX and MXene phases were prepared by ion beam sputtering followed thermal annealing in vacuum. For this purpose, a Low Energy Ion Facility (LEIF) using heavy ions for target irradiation was developed, the DC method implemented. The process preparing thin composites consists two steps. First step: bombarding elemental targets with low-energy (either all together, each corresponding size, or separately repeatedly); it results synthesis either homogeneous layers mixed multilayer...
COVID-19 has caused a public and international health emergency, leading to isolation social distancing. These restrictions have had significant impact on the caregivers of people with dementia, increasing burden patient management. The purpose this study was investigate stress perceived by patients Alzheimer’s disease (AD) during pandemic. We used cross-sectional survey design evaluate caregivers’ psychological responses coping strategies. Eighty-four diagnosis AD were involved in...
Knowledge driven materials and component design is key for improving the performance of Li-ion batteries solving remaining hurdles next-generation battery concepts like all-solid-state batteries. While spatial time dependent distribution Li would help elucidating bottlenecks degradation phenomena, only a few analysis techniques are available, due to unique nature Li, especially as Li+-ion. In fact, two non-destructive with good resolution can combine information absolute quantification one...
The aim of our study was to analyze the serum levels advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) and glycation end (AGEs), nitrosylation in patients with B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). AOPPs, AGEs, S-nitrosylated were increased B-CLL patients. mutation IgVH gene, CD 38, Zap 70 expression not associated oxidative stress. mutant 2677GT genotype found be higher AGEs respect wild-type genotype, while as far C3435T MDR1 polymorphism is concerned, subjects presenting showed values AOPPs...
This paper introduces a novel neutron production system for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) that employs lithium beam in inverse kinematics to generate forward-directed neutrons through the 7Li (p,n)7Be reaction. The utilizes thin polypropylene target and an optimized configuration achieve high yield precise directional control. A tape mechanism is incorporated effectively manage thermal loads, ensuring stable reliable operation. proposed could offer substantial advantages over...
