Off Time Independently Affects Quality of Life in Advanced Parkinson’s Disease (APD) Patients but Not in Non-APD Patients: Results from the Self-Reported Japanese Quality-of-Life Survey of Parkinson’s Disease (JAQPAD) Study

Parkinson's Disease, 2021
Introduction. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by a triad of motor symptoms and several nonmotor symptoms (NMS). Identifying the most appropriate treatment is essential for improving patient quality of life (QoL).

Rate-dependent propagation of cardiac action potentials in a one-dimensional fiber

, 2004
Action potential duration (APD) restitution, which relates APD to the preceding diastolic interval (DI), is a useful tool for predicting the onset of abnormal cardiac rhythms.

On the limited amplitude resolution of multipixel Geiger-mode APDs

, 2007
The limited number of active pixels in a Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiode (G-APD) results not only in a non-linearity but also in an additional fluctuation of its response.

A novel constitution-based personality-job fit theory: harmonizing organizational psychology and traditional Chinese medicine theories

Discover Psychology
Employee mental health is closely associated with the interaction between individual personality traits and workplace demands. A poor fit between job requirements and an employee’s personality profile can lead to psychological strain and decreased well ...

The Relationship between Types of Attention and Auditory Processing Skills: Reconsidering Auditory Processing Disorder Diagnosis

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Measures of attention have been found to correlate with specific auditory processing tests in samples of children suspected of Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), but these relationships have not been adequately investigated.

Characterisation of advanced Parkinson’s disease: OBSERVE-PD observational study – results of the Swiss subgroup

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2021
AIMS OF THE STUDY Currently, the characterisation of advanced Parkinson’s disease (APD) does not follow standardised diagnostic criteria, which complicates the evaluation of ongoing care and treatment strategies, such as eligibility for ...

A novel camera type for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy based on Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes

, 2009
Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (G-APD) are promising new sensors for light detection in atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. In this paper, the design and commissioning of a 36-pixel G-APD prototype camera is presented.

Temperature dependence of the LabPET small-animal PET scanner [PDF]

, 2012
INTRODUCTION In quantitative PET imaging it is important to correct for all image-degrading effects, for example detector efficiency variation. Detector efficiency variation depends on the stability of detector efficiency when operating conditions vary ...

In vivo human left-to-right ventricular differences in rate adaptation transiently increase pro-arrhythmic risk following rate acceleration.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Left-to-right ventricular (LV/RV) differences in repolarization have been implicated in lethal arrhythmias in animal models. Our goal is to quantify LV/RV differences in action potential duration (APD) and APD rate adaptation and their contribution to ...
