Assessment of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) is essential for the diagnosis and staging of dementia. However, current IADL assessments are subjective and cannot be administered remotely. We proposed a smart-home design, called IADLSys, for remote monitoring of IADL. IADLSys consists of three major components: (1) wireless physical tags (pTAG) attached to objects of interest, (2) a pendant-sensor to monitor physical activities and detect interaction with pTAGs, and (3) an interactive tablet as a gateway to transfer data to a secured cloud. Four studies, including an exploratory clinical study with five older adults with clinically confirmed cognitive impairment, who …

Why Study Mechanisms Of Brain Stimulation Therapies? To Modulate The Right Neurons, In The Right Way, At The Right Time, Matthew J Mcginley, Steven T Lee

Duncan NRI Faculty and Staff Publications

Clinical applications of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) are burgeoning, but mechanistic work lags behind. In this issue of Neuron, Bowles and colleagues show that VNS timed with positive reinforcement improves motor learning and cortical function by a cholinergic mechanism.

The Fascinating World Of Psychobiography, Ronald Chenail

The Qualitative Report

Although a relatively new approach to research, psychobiography has emerged as a fascinating, diverse, and useful approach to the interpretation of the lives and works of significant historical figures. Claude-Hélène Mayer and Zoltan Kovary in their wonderful, new, edited work, New Trends in Psychobiography, present not only an introduction to this type of research, but also share emerging and innovative ways psychobiographers are carrying out their fascinating case studies employing a variety of psychological personality theories.

The Critical Incident Technique (Cit) In Studying Health Care Professional–Patient Communication, Maija Peltola, Pekka Isotalus, Päivi Åstedt-Kurki

The Qualitative Report

Our study aimed to describe and evaluate the applicability of the critical incident technique (CIT) in qualitatively identifying the health-related outcomes of professional–patient communication. We described and evaluated the applicability of the CIT by analyzing previous CIT studies in the field of multidisciplinary health research, as well as conducting a study in which the CIT was applied. We based our description and evaluation on the qualitative research model developed by Carter and Little (2007). Our evaluation showed that in addition to defining the critical requirements of professional–patient communication in relation to specific outcomes, the CIT could be applied in defining …

A Proposed Video Super-Resolution Strategy Using Wavelet Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Networks, M. Elgohary, Fathi E. Abd El-Samie, Walid El-Shafai, M. Mohamed, E. H. Abdelhay

Mansoura Engineering Journal

High-resolution images are often required and desired for most applications, as they incorporate complementary information. However, the optimal utilization of sensor technology and visual technology to improve picture pixel density is often limited and prohibitively expensive. As a result, employing an image processing method to build a high-resolution image from a low-resolution one is a costly and comprehensive option. The goal of video super-resolution is to restore intricate points and reduce the sensory effects. This research builds on the multi-frame super-resolution approach by using wavelet analysis to train convolutional neural networks (CNNs). For that purpose, the approach begins by applying …

Uwb-Mimo Antenna Design With Four Band-Rejection Capability And Isolation, Sara Ghazy, Hazem Elbanna, Hamdy Elmikati

Mansoura Engineering Journal

Multi-element Ultra-Wideband (UWB) antennas with multi-input multiple-output (MIMO) capability are available. Mutual coupling between antenna elements is considerably reduced since this antenna created utilizing contemporary symmetrical shape, orthogonal arrangement technology. In addition, antenna sizes are efficiently miniaturized by applying two sides of symmetric configuration, partial and faulty ground structure, to increase their bandwidth of impedance, they used a decoupling structure in addition to multi-slot and multi-slit systems. The antenna has a low-profile design with a tiny size 40 mm × 47 mm ×1.6 mm. In addition, by combining varied form slots and slits on the circular radiating elements and the …

Comparison Of Methane Plume Detection Using Shortwave And Longwave Infrared Hyperspectral Sensors Under Varying Environmental Conditions, Lucy Zimmerman

Theses

Methane is a prevalent greenhouse gas with potent heat trapping capabilities, but methane emissions can be difficult to detect and track. Hyperspectral imagery is an effective method of detection which can locate methane emission sources in order to mitigate leaks, as well as provide accountability for reaching emissions reduction goals. Because of methane’s absorption features in the infrared, both shortwave infrared (SWIR) and longwave infrared (LWIR) hyperspectral sensors have been used to accurately detect methane plumes. However, surface, environmental and atmospheric background conditions can cause methane detectability to vary. This study compared methane detectability under varying environmental conditions for two …

Transplantation Of Astrocytic Mitochondria Modulates Neuronal Antioxidant Defense And Neuroplasticity And Promotes Functional Recovery After Intracerebral Hemorrhage, Lidiya Obertas, Joo Eun Jung

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Astrocytes release functional mitochondria (Mt) that play regulatory and prosurvival functions on entering adjacent cells. We recently demonstrated that these released Mts could enter microglia to promote their reparative/prophagocytic phenotype that assists in hematoma cleanup and neurological recovery after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, the relevance of astrocytic Mt transfer into neurons in protecting brain after ICH is unclear. Here, we found that ICH causes a robust increase in superoxide generation and elevated oxidative damage that coincides with loss of the mitochondrial enzyme manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD). The damaging effect of ICH was reversed by intravenous transplantation of astrocytic Mt, which …

Synaptic Origins Of The Complex Receptive Field Structure In Primate Smooth Monostratified Retinal Ganglion Cells, Joel N Yearick, David W Marshak

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Ganglion cells are the projection neurons of the retina. Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) express the photopigment melanopsin and also receive input from rods and cones via bipolar cells and amacrine cells. In primates, multiple types of ipRGCs have been identified. The ipRGCs with somas in the ganglion cell layer have been studied extensively, but less is known about those with somas in the inner nuclear layer, the "displaced" cells. To investigate their synaptic inputs, three sets of horizontal, ultrathin sections through central macaque retina were collected using serial block-face scanning electron microscopy. One displaced ipRGC received nearly all …

Fighting For Recovery On Multiple Fronts: The Past, Present, And Future Of Clinical Trials For Spinal Cord Injury, Michael Pitonak, Kent C New, Peter Nowell, Matthew Rodreick, Cedric G Geoffroy, Argyrios Stampas, Jennifer N Dulin

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Through many decades of preclinical research, great progress has been achieved in understanding the complex nature of spinal cord injury (SCI). Preclinical research efforts have guided and shaped clinical trials, which are growing in number by the year. Currently, 1,149 clinical trials focused on improving outcomes after SCI are registered in the U.S. National Library of Medicine at ClinicalTrials.gov. We conducted a systematic analysis of these SCI clinical trials, using publicly accessible data downloaded from ClinicalTrials.gov. After extracting all available data for these trials, we categorized each trial according to the types of interventions being tested and the types of …
