IMPROVEMENT OF DIAPHRAGMATIC EXCURSION IN THE SUPINE POSITION IN A PATIENT WITH IDIOPATHIC PLEUROPARENCHYMAL FIBROELASTOSIS: A CASE REPORT

Improvement of diaphragmatic excursion in the supine position in a patient with idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis: A case report

PEN Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (iPPFE) is a rare form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.We report a case of a patient with iPPFE in whom postural changes improved diaphragmatic excursion (DE) and exercise tolerance.Chest radiography showed a greater elevation of the diaphragm at maximum expiration in the supine position Jogger t

Process Capability Indices as Fuzzy Numbers

Most of the traditional methods for assessing the capability of manufacturing processes are dealing with crisp quality.In this paper we discuss the fuzzy quality and introduce fuzzy SHEA NUT OIL process capability indices, where instead of precise quality we have two membership functions for specification limits.These indices are necessary when the

Performance Analyses and Improvements for IEEE 802.15.4 CSMA/CA Scheme in Wireless Multihop Sensor Networks Based on HTC Algorithm

Most of analyses for the IEEE 802.15.4 copyright Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) scheme for multi-hop wireless sensor networks (WSNs) focus on how to avoid the impacts of hidden terminal problems rather than how to derive the exact multi-hop characters.In this paper, we propose a novel Charcoal Filter analysis model to anal

Tuberal hypothalamic neurons secreting the satiety molecule Nesfatin-1 are critically involved in paradoxical (REM) sleep homeostasis.

The recently discovered Nesfatin-1 plays a role in appetite regulation as a satiety factor through hypothalamic leptin-independent mechanisms.Nesfatin-1 is co-expressed with Melanin-Concentrating Hormone (MCH) in neurons from the tuberal hypothalamic area (THA) which are recruited during sleep states, especially paradoxical sleep (PS).To help decip
