Sensory experience during locomotion promotes recovery of function in adult visual cortex
Recovery from sensory deprivation is slow and incomplete in adult visual cortex. In this study, we show that visual stimulation during locomotion, which increases the gain of visual responses in primary visual cortex, dramatically enhances recovery in ...

Associations Between Stroke Outcome Assessments and Automated Tractography Fractional Anisotropy Incorporating Age [PDF]
Objective To evaluate the association between outcomes, including affected extremity functions and activities of daily living (ADL), and fractional anisotropy (FA) derived from automated tractography incorporating age among patients after stroke. Methods

Red Cell Distribution Width as a Predictor of Functional Outcome in Rehabilitation of Older Stroke Patients [PDF]
Background Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a prognostic marker in vascular diseases. While increased RDW predicts mortality and outcomes after ischemic stroke, evidence regarding its prognostic significance in stroke rehabilitation is lacking. Thus,

Early- and late-time prediction of counter-current spontaneous imbibition, scaling analysis and estimation of the capillary diffusion coefficient [PDF]
Solutions are investigated for 1D linear counter-current spontaneous imbibition (COUSI). The diffusion problem is scaled to depend only on a normalized coefficient {\Lambda}_n (S_n ) with mean 1 and no other parameters. A dataset of 5500 functions {\Lambda}_n was generated using combinations of (mixed-wet and strongly water-wet) relative permeabilities,

A Hyperbolic Decay of the Dst Index during the Recovery Phase of Intense Geomagnetic Storms [PDF]
What one commonly considers for reproducing the recovery phase of magnetosphere, as seen by the Dst index, is exponential function. However, the magnetosphere recovers faster in the first hours than in the late recovery phase. The early steepness followed by the late smoothness in the magnetospheric response is a feature that leads to the proposal of a

Chewing gum for postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function.
BACKGROUND Ileus commonly occurs after abdominal surgery, and is associated with complications and increased length of hospital stay (LOHS). Onset of ileus is considered to be multifactorial, and a variety of preventative methods have been investigated ...
