Pathological changes in the ligamentum flavum (LF) can be defined as a process of chronic progressive aberrations in the nature and structure of ligamentous tissues characterized by increased thickness, reduced elasticity, local calcification, or aggravated ossification, which may cause severe myelopathy, radiculopathy, or both.Hypertrophy of ligam
Correlation between disability, internalized stigma and mental recovery in patients with bipolar disorder
BackgroundThis study aimed to examine the correlation between disability, internalized stigma and mental recovery in patients with bipolar disorder.It further examined the impact of internalized stigma and disability on mental recovery.MethodsThe study was conducted with 103 patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder in remission who had been referre
Application of Gap Mode Ultrasensitive P-GERTs in SERS-Based Rapid Detection
In surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection research, the shape, structure, Vacuum Hose surface modification, and material selection of nanoparticles can significantly impact the SERS intensity.Petal-like gap-enhanced Raman tags (P-GERTs) possess numerous sharp tips and edges, which generate localized electric field enhancements, further
Emerging Countries and the Effects of the Trade War between US and China
The aim of the paper is to examine the effects of the US–China trade war on both countries and some emerging economies.Two scenarios are examined, one where only US protectionist measures are considered, and another in which Chinese retaliation is taken into account, using the GTAP (Global Trade Analysis Project) Computable General Equilibriu
Physiological reactivity at rest and in response to social or emotional stimuli after a traumatic brain injury: A systematic review
Numerous studies have shown that alterations in physiological reactivity (PR) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are possibly associated with emotional deficits.We conducted a systematic review of these studies that evaluated PR in adults with moderate-to-severe TBI, either at rest or in response to emotional, stressful, or social stimuli.We focuse
