... Abstract Background/Aims: Treatment for breast cancer produces side effects that diminishfunctional capacity and quality of life (QOL) among survivors. Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) is amoderate form of exercise that may improve functional capacity and QOL in these individuals.Women who completed...

... Chuan (TCC) can be adapted for individuals with PD and those withALZ. Research Evidence: Practice of TCC is widely advocated as an exercise option inPD; however, little validating research exists. Even less is known about feasibility of applicationsof TCC for individuals with ALZ. Clinical Impressions...

... Abstract Cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), including arteriovenousfistulae, are rather seldom investigated by means of transcranial color-coded duplex sonography(TCCS). Nevertheless, the continuous improvements in high-quality scanners, ultrasoundcontrast enhancers...

... Abstract Stenoses and occlusions of the anterior, middle, pre- and postcommunicating posteriorcerebral, and basilar and intracranial vertebral arteries are reliably detected by transcranialDoppler (TCD) and transcranial color duplex sonography (TCCS). Diagnosis of carotidsiphon stenosis...

... Abstract Ultrasound examination of cerebral veins and sinuses is a new application which hasbeen developed in the recent years. In the acute phase of cerebral vein and sinus thrombosis,occlusion of dural sinuses may be diagnosed by transcranial color-coded duplex sonography(TCCS) after echo...

... developed and studied over the last 30 years to understand their effect on peak pressure in the high-risk diabetic patient. Very consistently, the total contact cast (TCC) and knee-high (removable) walkers have been shown to most effectively offload the plantar foot surface [ 6 , 7 ]. Due to the high design...

... pollen was dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline. CpG DNA containing two CpG motifs (TCC ATG ACG TTC CTG ACG TT) was synthesized. Animals BALB/c mice (6 weeks of age) were used in this study. All mice were maintained under SPF conditions at the University animal facility. Immunization Protocol...

... of the forefoot following percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening in diabetic patients who are at high risk for ulcerations of the foot [ 15 ]. A subsequent study in 2003 demonstrated that Achilles tendon-lengthening procedures in conjunction with TCC application reduced the recurrence of ulceration from 59...

... offloading with a total contact cast (TCC), the time frame to re-epithelialization for a DFU has been set to 4-6 weeks [ 33 ]. Already in 1989, Mueller described that offloading, more than any dressing administered, is the most important factor for healing DFUs [ 34 ]. Following this concept, the group...

... with their highly polymorphous TCR. Actually, investigations of drug-specific human T cell clones (TCC) from drug allergic subjects have revealed specific reactivity against the causative drug in its native form without being processed or bound stably to a carrier molecule. Even chemically poorly reactive native...

... of the trigeminal nerve, carrying signals from the cranial vessels and dura mater. These inputs synapse in the trigemi-nocervical complex (TCC) [ 3 ] and then project to the thalamus and cortex where they are interpreted as pain. Concurrently, there is activation of the parasympathetic reflex through the outflow...

... of trigeminocervical complex (TCC), its stimulation may inhibit central nociceptive transmission and provide pain relief from various types of headaches [ 10 , 11 ]. Schematic of the paddle leads final position when used for the bilateral occipital neuralgia. (Used with permission from...
