In 1787, three Colonial physicians quoted from Le Clerc (1726-1798) in the Gazeta de México. The French author lists six specific cases where bloodletting is often fatal, including two kinds of apoplexy: the serous and the lacteal. Both conditions are nowadays unknown to the majority of specialists in clinical neurology, and we therefore conducted an historical review of these conditions.

Background: In humans, most spontaneous recovery from motor impairment after stroke occurs in the first 3 months. Studies in animal models show higher responsiveness to training over a similar time-period. Both phenomena are often attributed to a milieu of heightened plasticity, which may share some mechanistic overlap with plasticity associated with normal motor learning.

However, with patients' individual differences, the clinical effects vary greatly. This study aims to explore the hypothesis that stroke patients show individualized cortical response to rTMS treatments, which determine the effectiveness of rTMS-induced MI decoding enhancement.

It has been proven that robot-assisted rehabilitation training can effectively promote the recovery of upper-limb motor function in post-stroke patients. Increasing patients' active participation by providing assist-as-needed (AAN) control strategies is key to the effectiveness of robot-assisted rehabilitation training. In this paper, a greedy assist-as-needed (GAAN) controller based on radial basis function (RBF) network combined with 3 degrees of freedom (3-DOF) potential constraints was proposed to provide AAN interactive forces of an end-effect upper limb rehabilitation robot.

Massively carbon-supersaturated (MCSed) tool steel dies were developed to make galling-free forging products from titanium bar feedstocks in dry conditions without lubricating oils. Two types of tool steel dies were used, SKD11 and ACD56, following the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS). The plasma-immersion carburizing process was employed to induce massive carbon supersaturation in two kinds of tool steel dies at 673 K for 14.

Background And Objective: Observational studies have suggested that mental disorders and cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) may be risk factors for each other, but genetic evidence of a causal relationship is still lacking. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) studies to explore the causal relationship between mental disorders and CVDs from the genetic perspective.
Methods: To investigate the causal association between major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder and schizophrenia five kinds of mental disorders and CVDs using two-sample two-way MR analysis based on publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) data.
