Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent brain disorder, and PD diagnosis is crucial for treatment.Existing methods for PD diagnosis are mainly focused on behavior analysis, while the functional neurodegeneration of PD has not been well investigated.This paper proposes a method to signify functional neurodegeneration of PD with dynamic functi
The Slacker Jean In this paper, a novel image encryption scheme is proposed for the secure transmission of image data.A self-synchronous chaotic stream cipher is designed with the purpose of resisting active attack and ensures the limited error propagation of image data.Two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform and Arnold mapping are used to scram
Metastatic breast cancer is a very heterogeneous disease, both from a clinical and a biological point of view.Despite being still incurable, the expanding therapeutic repertoire has determined a progressive increase in median survival.We describe the clinical course of a 67-year-old woman with a locally advanced, hormone-receptor positive breast ca
Abstract Background Although there has been much neurobiological research on major depressive disorder, research on the neurological function of depressive symptoms (DS) or subclinical depression is still scarce, especially in older women with DS.Objectives Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) was used to compare functional
The United States and Soviet Union/Russian Federation signed several arms control treaties that mandated reductions in their numbers of deployed nuclear weapons.These treaties outlined complex technical procedures that governed the process of eliminating weapons in excess of allowed numbers.The procedures often required the physical destruction of
