Motor sequences can be learned using an incremental approach by starting with a few elements and then adding more as training evolves (e.g., learning a piano piece); conversely, one can use a global approach and practice the whole sequence in every training session (e.g., shifting gears in an automobile).Yet, the neural correlates associated with s
Offshore wind power is gradually developing to more open sea.Considering the economy of power transmission, it will be an inevitable choice to adopt the extra-large electrical platform.The offshore electrical platform is easily affected by sudden extreme loads such as earthquake and high current loads.With a large volume of electrical equipment arr
Abstract Background Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is the most commonly used and clinically relevant murine model for human multiple sclerosis (MS), a demyelinating autoimmune disease characterized by mononuclear cell infiltration into the central nervous system (CNS).The aim of the present study was to appraise the alterations, po
We report a case of lung adenocarcinoma presenting as pure ground glass opacity Dab Nail (GGO) and diagnosed by bronchoscopy with the use endobronchial ultrasound with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS).The lesion was indistinguishable by real-time fluoroscopy but simultaneous endobronchial ultrasound scanning of the involved lung segment showed a hyperechoi
BACKGROUND:Both procalcitonin (PCT) and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) have been investigated separately as indicators of infection in patients with autoimmune diseases.Our study simultaneously evaluated both PCT and sTREM-1 along with C-reactive protein (CRP) in febrile patients with autoimmune diseases.METHODS:
