MOVEMENTS MIMICKING MYOCLONUS ASSOCIATED WITH SPINAL CORD PATHOLOGY: IS THIS A "PURE MOTOR RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME"?

Movements Mimicking Myoclonus Associated with Spinal Cord Pathology: Is this a "Pure Motor Restless Legs Syndrome"?

Background: The neuroanatomic substrate of restless legs syndrome (RLS) is poorly understood, and the diagnosis is clinically made based upon subjective sensory symptoms, although a motor component is usually present.Case Deck Repair Kits Report: We report two cases of elderly patients with spinal pathology who were referred by neurologists for myo

De novo donor-specific HLA antibody development after kidney transplantation is impacted by PIRCHE II score and recipient age

BackgroundAntibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is a major cause of graft loss in kidney transplantation, often associated with de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA).The detection of clinically relevant dnDSA relies on evaluating reactivity in single antigen bead (SAB) assays.Immunogenetic mismatches between donor and recipient, particularly invol

Prediction of groundwater level in basement complex terrain using artificial neural network: a case of Ijebu-Jesa, southwestern Nigeria

Abstract Empirical relationship between geoelectric parameters and groundwater level in boreholes/wells has not been established.Also, prediction of groundwater level from geoelectric parameters had hitherto knob not been reported.In order to overcome these challenges, the capability of artificial neural network (ANN) to model nonlinear system was
