Design and Development of Semi-Direct Copra Dryer for Flat Terrain

CORD, 2020
The study was conducted to design and develop a semi-direct dryer for flat terrain. This dryer was designed to provide farmers an alternative to traditional and existing dryers particularly the semi-direct and indirect dryers. The components of the dryer

International standards for neurological classification of spinal cord injury, revised 2011.

Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation, 2012
The spinal cord is the major conduit through which motor and sensory information travels between the brain and body. The spinal cord contains longitudinally oriented spinal tracts (white matter) surrounding central areas (gray matter) where most spinal ...

Simulation‐free workflow for lattice radiation therapy using deep learning predicted synthetic computed tomography: A feasibility study

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Lattice radiation therapy (LRT) is a form of spatially fractionated radiation therapy that allows increased total dose delivery aiming for improved treatment response without an increase in toxicities, commonly utilized for palliation of bulky tumors.

Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite

LINC00323 variant is associated with increased risk of essential tremor

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Essential tremor (ET) is a common adult movement disorder, with accumulating evidence suggesting that genetic factors primarily account for ET risk. However, replication studies on the genetic variants have yielded inconsistent results. In our case–control study, we show that the LINC00323 variant, identified in a European GWAS study, is ...

Spinal Cord Abnormalities in Early Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spinal cord lesions and atrophy in the cervical region are common in adult multiple sclerosis (MS) and correlate with disability. Whether similar abnormalities occur in pediatric MS patients is largely unknown. Clinical and MRI evaluations were performed in 38 pediatric MS patients and 13 healthy controls (HC).

Discontinuation of Immunotherapy in Patients With Relapsing Myelitis Without AQP4/MOG Antibodies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assesses the outcomes of immunotherapy discontinuation in patients with relapsing seronegative idiopathic myelitis (SIM), a condition that remains uninvestigated due to its rarity. We reviewed records from 77 patients with relapsing SIM at the National Cancer Center of Korea, focusing on 11 who discontinued treatment after a median ...

Reliability of patient-specific gait profiles with inertial measurement units during the 2-min walk test in incomplete spinal cord injury

Scientific Reports
Most established clinical walking tests assess specific aspects of movement function (velocity, endurance, etc.) but are generally unable to determine specific biomechanical or neurological deficits that limit an individual’s ability to walk.
