The impact of Kinesio Taping® on manual dexterity in Multiple Sclerosis: A double-blind, parallel-arm, pilot study.

Introduction: A range of signs and symptoms that often impair up-per extremity function characterizes Multiple Sclerosis (MS). People with MS may have impairments that make some activities of daily living difficult and reduce functional independence. A multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach, combined with pharmacological treatment, can be helpful in improving hand and upper limb function in people with Multiple Sclerosis.

Effect of electroacupuncture on brachial plexus post-traumatic neuralgia: A case report.

Background: Brachial plexus injury is a serious peripheral nerve injury that severely disables upper limbs and affects patients' daily life and work Acupuncture and Electroacupuncture have traditionally been used to treat neuropathic pain. However, there is still lacking evidence as regard to their effects on pain following traumatic nerve and plexus lesions. Neurotmesis after brachial plexus injury also causes movement disorders of the denervated muscles and loss of sensory function in the skin.

Decline of semen quality over the last 30 years in Uruguay.

Background: Over the last years, there has been an increasing concern about a global decline in men's fertility. Specifically, some evidence indicates that sperm quality has decreased over the last years. However, reports showing the changes in sperm quality with time are inconsistent.

Exploring room-temperature transport of single-molecule magnet-based molecular spintronics devices using the magnetic tunnel junction as a device platform.

A device architecture utilizing a single-molecule magnet (SMM) as a device element between two ferromagnetic electrodes may open vast opportunities to create novel molecular spintronics devices. Here, we report a method of connecting an SMM to the ferromagnetic electrodes. We utilized a nickel (Ni)-AlO -Ni magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) with the exposed side edges as a test bed.
