Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) in Normal Adolescents
Abstract: tDCS is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique in which a mild electrical direct current is applied through the scalp to send electrical impulses to the brain to increase or decrease the excitability in the neurons. Weak transcranial direct current stimulation can induce long lasting changes in cortical excitability. The electrodiagnostic approaches like Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP), Somato Sensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) and electromyography are used to measure the effect of …

Composite Gel-Fibers and Solid-State-Processed Tapes Based on Disentangled Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene and Electrically Conductive Carbon Black: a Comparative Study
Abstract: In this study, oriented nanocomposite gel-spun fibers and solid-state-processed tapes were manufactured and analyzed. The fibers and tapes were produced using a specific type of nascent disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) reactor powder. As the filler, commercially available electrically conductive carbon black (CB) was used. The ultra-high filler content values up to 75 wt.% were achieved for the UHMWPE/CB gel-spun fibers, while the degree of filling was limited (up …

Significant Prolongation of QTc-Interval in Overweight-Obese Hypertensive Patients Does Not Relate to the Obesity as a Risk Factor
Abstract: The duration of QT interval in the electrocardiograph record represents the ventricular repolarization. It is prolonged in women, ageing and using certain medications. In hypertensive patients, prolongation of QT interval is associated with cardiac risk factors and/or the complications of hypertension. This study aimed to measure the uncorrected (QT) and corrected (QTc) intervals using different formulas in overweight-obese patients with chronic hypertension. A total number of 25 healthy subjects and …
