Peripheral neuropathy in hypertension
… pressure and may show evidence of subclinical peripheral neuropathy. Hypertension is strongly associated with diabetic neuropathy and the observed sensory loss may be aggravated by hypertension-induced nerve ischaemia and hypoxia. Two studies are presented in this thesis. First, 20 …

Peripheral perfusion imaging modeling
… between phantom and preclinical images show that peripheral perfusion imaging can be reliably achieved without contrast enhancement. One goal is to examine methods for setting the parameters of higher-order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) clutter filter and characterize blood and clutter …

Peripheral neuropathies of childhood
Peripheral nerve disease was described by Galen (AD 130-200) over a thousand years ago.(3) Detailed anatomical illustrations were documented by Andreas Vesalius in his major work 'De humani corporis fabrica' in 1543.(4) Over the last two centuries an explosion in knowledge in the area has occurred, …

Peripheral Leukocytes and Intracerebral Hemorrhage
… need of hemostatic or anti-inflammatory therapy.Peripheral white blood cell (WBC) count has been associated with hemorrhage volume and functional outcomes after ICH. However, it is unknown whether elevated WBCs represent an acute phase response or whether there is a pathophysiologic role of …

Encryption of Computer Peripheral Devices
<p>Computer peripherals, such as keyboards, scanners, printers, cameras, and Personal Data Assistants (PDAs) typically communicate with a host PC via an unencrypted protocol, leaving them vulnerable to eavesdropping techniques, such as keyloggers. An encryption system was developed that is simple …

The effects of peripheral nerve impairments on postural control and mobility among people with peripheral neuropathy
Approximately 20 million Americans are suffering Peripheral Neuropathy (PN). It is estimated that the prevalence of all-cause PN is about 2.4% in the entire adult population, whereas over 8-10% in the population segment over the age of 55 (Martyn & Hughes, 1997). Peripheral Neuropathy leads to a …

MODELING INTERFASCICULAR INTERFACES FOR PERIPHERAL NERVES
<p>Stimulation electrodes with higher levels of selectivity than currently available are required to restore limb function, especially in the upper extremity. One strategy to increase the selectivity of an electrode is to move it closer to the target axons. A balance between selectivity and …

Peripheral memory : New York's forgotten landscape
Hart Island, New York City's largest public burial ground, reveals an alternate history of the city through the lens of the interment of the abject. Historically, the state has provided for remains not otherwise cared for through what are commonly referred to as "potter's fields" - municipally …

KERATIN BIOMATERIAL SCAFFOLDS FOR PERIPHERAL NERVE REGENERATION
Peripheral nerve injury is a relevant clinical concern. Although surgical management of these injuries has improved over time, the current "gold standard" for nerve transection injury, autograft, has many limitations. Nerve conduits are used as an alternative to autograft surgery but they are …

Visual adaptation in central and peripheral vision
Peripheral vision occupies as much as 99.9% of the visual field beyond the fovea and serves important functions such as getting the gist of a scene and capturing important objects for central vision to be further processed. Phenomenon such as crowding, Flashed Face Distortion effect (FFDE) …

Peripheral Taste System in Inbred Mouse Strains
… as non-tasters. Therefore, evaluating the peripheral taste system in these mice is of great importance to determine if there are morphological differences that might explain the physiological classification. The purpose of the present study was to determine if inbred mice that have been …

Elizabeth Bishop's Photographic Poetics: The Peripheral Vision
Elizabeth Bishop‘s poetics of description has been the object of numerous critical studies. These most often focus on questions of observation, positioning, framing, and refer to Bishop‘s aesthetics as ―optical poetics.‖ Instead of simply using optical vocabulary to talk about her work, I …

Spinal cord plasticity in peripheral inflammatory pain
Inflammatory pain is a debilitating condition that can occur following tissue injury or inflammation and results in touch evoked pain (allodynia), exaggerated pain (hyperalgesia) and spontaneous pain, yet the neural plasticity underlying these symptoms is not fully understood. However, it is known …
