Vascular Space Occupancy (VASO) is an alternative fMRI approach based on changes in Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV).VASO-CBV fMRI can provide higher spatial specificity than the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) method because the CBV response is thought to be limited to smaller vessels.To investigate how this technique compares to BOLD fMRI for

Abstract Background In clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis, the hallmark cutaneous manifestations are the key to diagnosis.We report a case of clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis which presented with facial edema as the sole cutaneous manifestation and was later complicated by acute respiratory failure leading to death.Case presentation A 58-ye

In agriculture, new and sustainable strategies are increasingly demanded to integrate the traditional management of viral diseases based on the use of virus-free propagation materials and resistant or tolerant cultivars and on the control of insect vectors.Among the possible Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches, organic biostimulants have sh

COVID-19 has engendered serious challenges with the provision of special education services for youth and young adults incarcerated in U.S.adult correctional facilities.This article describes the recent lawsuit, Charles H.et al.v.District of Columbia et al., which focused on the lack of a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) at the Inspirin

In order to increase the prevalence of wave energy converters (WECs), they must provide energy at competitive prices, especially when compared with other renewable energy sources.Thus, it is imperative to develop control system technologies that are able to maximize energy extraction from waves, such that the delivered energy cost is reduced.An imp
