Cortical Reorganisation in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating pain condition of unknown aetiology, usually occurring post-traumatically. Early diagnosis of CRPS remains a challenge with adverse implications on rehabilitation and recovery. The main goals of my research were to help develop clinically …

Sensitivity and Specificity of Three Phase Bone Scan in the Complex Regional Pain Syndrome according to the Disease Progress
BACKGROUND: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is still difficult to diagnose in chronic pain field and diagnosed by purely clinical criteria based on characteristic symptoms and signs, Three phase bone scan (TPBS) is one of the objective tools in diagnosis of CRPS. However, TPBS cannot confirm …

Multidisciplinary management of Complex Regional Pain Syndrom Type 1 in children admitted to Red Cross War Memorial Hospital: A case series describing long-term effects on pain, function and quality of life
Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is characterised by neuropathic-type pain in a regional distribution with associated signs and symptoms including: swelling, change in temperature, change in skin colour and motor dysfunction. Although CRPS is not a common condition, the disease …

Enhancing the quality and breadth of carbon reduction project ideation and roadmapping for corporations
… framing teams (TFTs) have a more robust queue of CRPs and options for decarbonization pathways. A steamflood operation is used as an example to demonstrate the application of system architecting tools and is decomposed into its formal and functional components, which are then recombined to …

Predictors of Supported Employment for Transitioning Youth with Developmental Disabilities
… from community rehabilitation provider agencies (CRPs) or the variables that best predict supported employment outcomes. In this study, CRP staff members were asked to complete a survey on 560 individuals who received state DD funded supports from one of 81 CRPs across one Mid-Atlantic state. The …

The role of the family in physical activity post-myocardial infarction
… with 14 cardiac rehabilitation practitioners (CRPs) to understand their views of family involvement in CR through the roles they can adopt in post-MI patients PA experiences. CRPs appeared positive about familial involvement in CR and identified three themes as roles family might adopt to …

Ecosystem Models in a Bayesian State Space Framework
… (IGN) and Continuous Ranked Probability Score (CRPS), even performing better than the true generating model across thirty different synthetic datasets. When observation precisions were fixed, all models except for the Gompertz displayed a significant improvement in forecasting performance for …

A Critical Evaluation of Community Rail Policy and Practice During the New Labour Years 2003 - 2010
… planning policies of actor members of the CRPs is undertaken, as well as visual and audio station audits. The research then examines the place of the 2004 Strategy within the wider transport planning policy landscape at all tiers of regional and sub-regional government, concluding a very …

How university-based poverty research centers aim to inform antipoverty policy and practice
… Center for Research on Poverty in Society (CRPS), and the Regional Poverty Research Center (RPRC). Using a multiple case study approach, at each center, the study included document analysis; interviews with 5 individuals including the center director; and observations of relevant center …

Assessment of propfan propulsion systems for reduced environmental impact
… concepts include counter-rotating propfans (CRPs) which have been investigated intensively in the 1970s and 1980s and demonstrated significant reductions in fuel burn. Currently, propfans are being studied again due to their inherent noise challenge and the potential for reduced environmental …

Characterization of a family of cysteine rich proteins and development of a MaSp1 derived miniature fibroin
… a family of small cysteine-rich proteins (CRPs) and demonstrate that these factors are present within the spinning dope of the major ampullate gland using MS analysis. Biochemical studies and characterization of one of the family members, CRP1, demonstrate that this factor can …

Factors associated with participation in a phase three cardiac rehabilitation programme
… in cardiac rehabilitation programmes (CRPs). The aim of this research project was to evaluate the factors associated with participation in a phase three CRP, the Prime Time programme (PTP). A secondary aim was to compare attendance and baseline measures between Prime Time (PT) and …

Neuroplasticity and chronic low back pain: an investigation into altered tactile discrimination, body schema and motor function.
… Pain (PLP) and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), cortical neurophysiology and sensory outputs such as body schema and perception are altered alongside motor function impairments. Novel interventions to reverse these impairments coincide with reductions in pain intensity and perception. CLBP …

Investigation of Offset Analgesia during Acute Central Sensitization, Opioid Administration and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
… in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). A proportion of these patients had dramatically altered real- time pain intensity ratings and no offset analgesia. In summary, offset analgesia is not altered by capsaicin-heat sensitization, occurs by mechanisms that are largely …

A Physical Unclonable Function derived from the power distribution system of an integrated circuit
… exponential number of Challenge/Response Pairs (CRPs) with respect to the number of hardware resources, as well as yielding a marginal increase in the level of randomness. I also use these same analog measurements from silicon to simulate an integrated implementation of the PUF that takes a …

Forensic taphonomy: investigating the post mortem biochemical properties of cartilage and fungal succession as potential forensic tools
… molecular weight cross-reactive polypeptides (CRPs) within cartilage extracellular matrix. The 230kDa CRP degrades in a reproducible manner irrespective of the different soil environments utilised. As PMI increases, aggrecan diminishes and degrades forming heterogeneous subpopulations with …

Design, Analysis, and Testing of Memristive Logic and Authentication Architectures
… running in parallel for extending the sizes of CRPs. Finally, we subject our PUF architectures to machine learning based modelling attacks. We found out that the proposed PUF provides better resistance to such attacks, even for smaller bit sizes and at reduced overheads.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of Adlerian parent study groups after four weeks and after six weeks
… of significant mean gains on the ATFC-II and the CRPS during Week 6. No evidence that discussion groups effectively changed children's behavior or their parents' perceptions of that behavior were detected. Nevertheless, it is possible that these changes evolved after Week 6 the parents continued …

An analysis of the partial feasibility of a novel cardiac exercise rehabilitation programme for patients suffering from cardiovascular disease
… that cardiac exercise rehabilitation programmes (CRPs) can significantly reduce readmissions, mortality, comorbidities, and improve quality of life. Aims: The aims of this study were to determine the partial feasibility of a novel CRP in a South African public hospital setting by evaluating the …
