Comparison the effect of valerian and gabapentin on RLS and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients: A randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the effect of valerian and gabapentin on restless legs syndrome (RLS) and sleep quality in HD patients.

Methods: In this cross over clinical trial study, 40 HD patients allocated into a valerian and gabapentin group. In the first phase of the study, Group A received valerian and Group B received gabapentin 1 h before bedtime for 1 month.

GC-CNNnet: Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease with PET Images Using Genetic and Convolutional Neural Network.

There is a wide variety of effects of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease that can lead to cognitive decline, deterioration of daily life, and behavioral and psychological changes. A polymorphism of the ApoE gene 4 is considered a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that single-nucleotide polymorphic markers (SNPs) have a causal relationship with quantitative PET imaging traits.

A Review of Methods of Diagnosis and Complexity Analysis of Alzheimer's Disease Using EEG Signals.

This study will concentrate on recent research on EEG signals for Alzheimer's diagnosis, identifying and comparing key steps of EEG-based Alzheimer's disease (AD) detection, such as EEG signal acquisition, preprocessing function extraction, and classification methods. Furthermore, highlighting general approaches, variations, and agreement in the use of EEG identified shortcomings and guidelines for multiple experimental stages ranging from demographic characteristics to outcomes monitoring for future research. Two main targets have been defined based on the article's purpose: (1) discriminative (or detection), i.

Single and Combined Neuroimaging Techniques for Alzheimer's Disease Detection.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) consists of the gradual process of decreasing volume and quality of neuron connection in the brain, which consists of gradual synaptic integrity and loss of cognitive functions. In recent years, there has been significant attention in AD classification and early detection with machine learning algorithms. There are different neuroimaging techniques for capturing data and using it for the classification task.

Improving the Practice of Nutrition Therapy in the NRITLD Critically Ill Patients: An International Quality Improvement Project.

Background: In previous decades several studies have been performed demonstrating that providing appropriate nutritional support to intensive care unit patients affects complications, time of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, and risk of death. In this study we provided a report of nutrition statuses in Masih Daneshvari's ICU as compared to 156 ICUs from 20 countries that participated in an international nutrition survey.

Materials And Methods: All patients admitted to an intensive care unit during a specified one-month period who required artificial nutrition were included in this study.
