Shared and distinct voxel-based lesion-symptom mappings for spasticity and impaired movement in the hemiparetic upper limb

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Hemiparesis and spasticity are common co-occurring manifestations of hemispheric stroke. The relationship between impaired precision and force in voluntary movement (hemiparesis) and the increment in muscle tone that stems from dysregulated activity of ...

Inter-rater reliability of categorical versus continuous scoring of fish vitality: Does it affect the utility of the reflex action mortality predictor (RAMP) approach? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Scoring reflex responsiveness and injury of aquatic organisms has gained popularity as predictors of discard survival. Given this method relies upon the individual interpretation of scoring criteria, an evaluation of its robustness is done here to test ...

The blink reflex test does not show abnormalities in a large group of patients with chronic migraine

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2013
The blink reflex – a simple, non-invasive and inexpensive test – may be indicative of lesions or dysfunctions of the brainstem, and particularly assesses the trigeminal-facial arch.

Novel Triaxial Raman Scanning Platform for Evaluating Integrity of Graphite Electrodes in Li-Ion Batteries

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
The quality of Li-ion batteries is highly related to the crystallinity of the graphite used in their electrodes. Therefore, the development of two-dimensional detection equipment for evaluating the integrity of graphite electrodes is critical.

Seismic air guns damage rock lobster mechanosensory organs and impair righting reflex [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019
The effects of anthropogenic aquatic noise on marine invertebrates are poorly understood. We investigated the impact of seismic surveys on the righting reflex and statocyst morphology of the palinurid rock lobster,Jasus edwardsii, using field-based exposure to air gun signals.

The Value of Ultrasonography in determining Pupillary Light Reflex in Patients with Traumatic Ocular Injuries; a Letter to Editor

open access: yesArchives of Academic Emergency Medicine, 2019
Pupillary light reflex (PLR) measurement is one of the frequent physical examinations used by emergency physicians for assessment of brain stem function and monitoring of intracranial pressure (1, 2).

Postural compensation strategy depends on the severity of vestibular damage

open access: yesHeliyon, 2017
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of various levels of vestibular function on balance in two, free-standing rhesus monkeys. We hypothesized that postural control strategy depended on the severity of vestibular damage.

Comparative analysis of audiometric and impedancemetric findings in workers exposed to the effects of various duration industrial noise [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2010
Background/Aim. Industrial noise is produced in workshops due to factory machinery and tools used in technological processes. It has detrimental effect to primarily the organ of the sense of hearing, thus damaging hearing in oversensitive subjects.
