Postulated Vasoactive Neuropeptide Autoimmunity in Fatigue-Related Conditions: A Brief Review and Hypothesis
Disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and gulf war syndrome (GWS) are characterised by prolonged fatigue and a range of debilitating symptoms of pain, intellectual and emotional impairment, chemical sensitivities and immunological dysfunction. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) surprisingly may have certain features in common with these conditions. Post-infection sequelae may be possible contributing factors although ongoing infection is unproven. Immunological aberration may prove to be associated with certain vasoactive neuropeptides (VN) in the context of molecular mimicry, inappropriate immunological memory and autoimmunity
Modelling Knee Range of Motion Post Arthroplasty: Clinical Applications
Purpose: To model change in knee range of motion (ROM) post total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to show how this information can be incorporated into clinical decision making
Relationship between physical activity measured using accelerometers and energy expenditure measured using doubly labelled water in Indian children
Effects of Irradiation on Porous Silicon
Besides the well-known effect of photoluminescence, the impinging of photons and other kinds of particles such as electrons, ions, and muons on porous silicon produces important effects. Some of these effects can modify the structure and properties of the material, distorting the interpretation of data based on the use of irradiation. Some of the irradiation effects are useful in different applications such as photodynamic therapy or display applications. This work is a review of the effects of irradiation on porous silicon.Fil: Koropecki, Roberto Roman. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.
