Survival After Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke: A 4-Year Follow-Up at a Mexican Hospital.

Background: Overall, 75.2% of deaths from stroke occur in low- and middle-income countries. Mexico is a middle-income country with little information about the prognosis of early and late postischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.

A Novel Multiband Spectrum Sensing Method Based on Wavelets and the Higuchi Fractal Dimension.

In this work, two novel methodologies for the multiband spectrum sensing in cognitive radios are implemented. Methods are based on the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and the multiresolution analysis (MRA) to detect the edges of available holes in the considered wideband spectrum. Besides, MRA is also combined with the Higuchi fractal dimension (a non-linear measure) to establish the decision rule permitting the detection of the absence or presence of one or multiple primary users in the studied wideband spectrum.

Design of Laccase Thermostable Mutants From Lacc 6 of Pleurotus Ostreatus.

Fungal laccase enzymes have a great biotechnological potential for bioremediation processes due to their ability to degrade compounds such as ρ-diphenol, aminophenols, polyphenols, polyamines, and aryldiamines. These enzymes have activity at different pH and temperature values, however, high temperatures can cause partial or total loss of enzymatic activity, so it is appropriate to do research to modify their secondary and/or tertiary structure to make them more resistant to extreme temperature conditions. , a structure of the Lacc 6 enzyme of was constructed using a laccase of as a template.

Effects of acculturation, coping strategies, locus of control, and self-efficacy on chronic pain: study of Chinese immigrant women in Italy - insights from a thematic field analysis.

Chronic pain represents a common public health concern worldwide. It is a complex phenomenon, owing to the interaction of different factors, including biological, physiological, psychological, environmental, and social variables. Some groups, such as women and immigrants, are particularly vulnerable.

Enzymatic Activity of Glutathione S-Transferase and Dental Fluorosis Among Children Receiving Two Different Levels of Naturally Fluoridated Water.

This study was conducted to measure the activity of the enzyme glutathione S-transferase (GST) in saliva and to compare the activity of this enzyme in children with and without dental fluorosis in communities with different concentrations of naturally fluoridated water. A total of 141 schoolchildren participated in this cross-sectional study. Children were selected from two communities: one with a low (0.

Vampire bat reproductive control by a naturally occurring phytooestrogen.

Rabies transmission by wild animals has not being controlled satisfactorily. One major rabies vector to humans and cattle is the hematophagous vampire bat Desmodus rotundus whose distribution is still increasing in the Americas. Of all of the strategies currently in place to control this vector, none of them are really specific and some have ecological impacts.
