MUSIC RESTORES PROPRIOSPINAL EXCITATION DURING STROKE LOCOMOTION

Music Restores Propriospinal Excitation During Stroke Locomotion

Music-based therapy for rehabilitation induces neuromodulation at the brain level and improves the functional recovery.In line with this, musical rhythmicity improves post-stroke gait.Moreover, an external distractor also helps stroke patients to improve locomotion.We raised the question whether music with irregular tempo (arrhythmic music), and it

Establishing empirical relationships to predict porosity level and corrosion rate of atmospheric plasma-sprayed alumina coatings on AZ31B magnesium alloy

Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings are successfully used in many industrial applications, where high wear and corrosion resistance with thermal insulation are required.In this work, empirical relationships were developed to predict the porosity and corrosion rate of alumina coatings by incorporating independently controllable atmospheric plasma spray

Neurotrauma and Inflammation: CNS and PNS Responses

Traumatic injury to the central nervous system (CNS) or the peripheral nervous system (PNS) triggers a cascade of events which culminate in a robust inflammatory reaction.The role played by inflammation in the course of degeneration and regeneration is not completely elucidated.While, in peripheral nerves, the inflammatory response is assumed to tc

Reversible Regulation of Cell Cycle-Related Genes by Epigallocatechin Gallate for Hibernation of Neonatal Human Tarsal Fibroblasts

We investigated the hibernation effect of epigallocatechin-3- O -gallate (EGCG) on neonatal human tarsal fibroblasts (nHTFs) by analyzing the expression of cell cycle-related genes.EGCG application to culture media moderately inhibited the growth of nHTFs, and the removal of EGCG from culture media led to complete recovery of cell growth.EGCG resul

The relationship between public debt and privatisation: the moderating roles of political ideology and electoral cycles

Using a sample of zwo off axis guider 25 European countries between 1995 and 2013, this study shows a bidirectional relationship between privatisations and public debt.Firstly, our findings suggest that governments with higher levels of debt tend to privatise state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to a greater extent than less-indebted governments.Subseque
