The attachment of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is one of the most important posttranslational protein modifications and plays an important role in many vital reactions. It is well known that most GPI-anchored proteins (GPI-APs), such as receptors, nucleotidases, proteinases, immune antigens, and prion protein, are associated with serious human diseases. Consequently, the annotation of novel...
The objective of this research was to develop a brain computer interface (BCI) communication device for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. The device was designed to meet the needs of ALS patients, and to be used at a clinical level. Initial tests were performed by ALS patients, and the result was accounted for in the experimental production of the communication device. Lastly, the device...
We developed a method using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate the psychological factors of family caregivers of patients with dementia. Further, the family caregivers were questioned on their policy pertaining to the living place of the patients: at their home, nursing home, or hospital. We made inquiries of sixty-two families, resulting in twenty-eight desiring care at home, twenty...
The purpose of this preliminary study is to determine the profile of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by systemic neuropsychological test batteries and event-related potential (ERP) measures. We examined 11 cases diagnosed as the sporadic form of ALS according to the El Escorial criteria; 4 patients had a spinal, 7 had a bulbar onset of the disease. We compared ALS patients with...
Measurement of blood flow velocity using Doppler ultrasound has become an important noninvasive tool not only in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease but also in physiological measurement. Physiological blood flow velocities in common carotid artery (CCA) is altered markedly with advancing age. It is unknown that regular aerobic exercise training can alter and improve blood flow velocity waveforms...
