Is the cognitive process of random number generation implemented via person-specific strategies corresponding to highly individual random generation behaviour? We examined random number sequences of 115 healthy participants and developed a method to quantify the similarity between two number sequences on the basis of Damerau and Levenshtein's edit distance. "Same-author" and "different author" sequence pairs could be distinguished (96.5% AUC) based on 300 pseudo-random digits alone.

However, IA application also appears to be associated with increased mortality rates and infarction. Since many rodent studies systemically apply 1 × 10 cells, this could also be a consequence of engrafted cell number.

- A triple-resonant coil was used to study T2 relaxation times of sodium (23Na) and chlorine (35Cl) in a rat stroke model at 9.4 Tesla during the acute phase.
- In vivo measurements were taken at different time points after stroke onset to assess changes in T2 and M0 values between healthy and stroke-affected rats.
- Results indicated that T2 values for both sodium and chlorine significantly increased ten days post-stroke compared to the acute phase and healthy controls, with chlorine showing a slower rise in M0 in the infarcted region.
