Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impact of Air Pollution on Human Health: Focusing on the Rudnyi Altay Industrial AreaVitaliy G. Salnikov, Marat A. KaratayevProblem statement: Air pollution in Kazakhstan is significant environmental problem. The air pollution level of cities and industrial centers remains rather high. The highest level of air pollution is registered in Ridder, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Almaty, Zyryanovsk, Aktau, Atyrau, Shymkent, Taraz, Petropavlovsk and Temirtau. The enterprises of the Rudnyi Altay, Pavlodar Oblast and enterprises of oil and gas complex in West-Kazakhstan, Atyrau … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 21 Jul 2011 · 10,447 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA 28 Years Old Woman with Severe Headache and Few Episodes of Vomiting: A Case ReportAhmad Reza Nakhayi, Tasnim Eghbal Eftekhaari, Hossein Montazerghaem et al.Problem statement: Cryptococcosis neoformans is commonest central nervous system infection in individuals infected with HIV. Most of the patients infected with Cryptococcus neoformans present with headache and visual changes. Approach: A 28 year old woman presented to Emergency Department (ED) with a chief complaint of headache, fever and vomiting and developed seizures during the first hour of admission. Firstly, diagnosed … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,154 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvances in Electromyogram Signal Classification to Improve the Quality of Life for the Disabled and Aged PeopleMd. R. Ahsan, Muhammad I. Ibrahimy, Othman O. KhalifaProblem statement: The social demands for the Quality Of Life (QOL) are increasing with the exponentially expanding silver generation. To improve the QOL of the disabled and elderly people, robotic researchers and biomedical engineers have been trying to combine their techniques into the rehabilitation systems. Various biomedical signals (biosignals) acquired from a specialized tissue, organ, or cell system like the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 8,813 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptotic Behavior of an Artificial Neural Network Defined on Multipartite Directed GraphN. C. Majee, A. B. RoyProblem statement: Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are simple models to mimic some essential features of the complex central nervous system. ANN models are realistic due to their inherent stochastic nature of neural computation and strong synchronicity. Different ANN models are associated with directed and signed graphs. The present study proceeded by relaxing certain simplifying assumptions in the ANN model. Approach: … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,476 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioInfoPhysics Models of Neuronal Signal Processes Based on Theories of Electromagnetic FieldsKang Cheng, Chang H. ZouProblem statement: The aphasia is one of human language and action related brain associative diseases. The mechanisms of the diseases and the brain association are still unclear. In this study, we proposed our models of the neuronal signal processes, in a view of BioInforPhysics, to understand the mechanisms. Approach: Our models are based on today’s solidest Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) theoretic … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 10 Feb 2010 · 6,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction and Roles of Glial Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1-Associated Dementia Neuroinflammation: A ReviewC. Chao, A. GhorpadeProblem statement: Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) and its cognate targets, the Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), were differentially expressed in human brain samples with or without HIV-1 infection or HIV-1 Encephalitis (HIVE). Approach: A through literature review demonstrated that cell culture models of Central Nervous System (CNS) cell types had been used to illustrate the intricate temporal patterns of TIMP-1/MMP expression, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Mechanisms of Neurodegenerative Diseases Induced by Human Retroviruses: A ReviewBryan P. Irish, Zafar K. Khan, Pooja Jain et al.Problem statement: Infection with retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) have been shown to lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as HIV-associated dementia (HAD) or neuroAIDS and HTLV-1-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP), respectively. Approach: HIV-1-induced neurologic disease is associated with an influx of HIV-infected monocytic cells across the blood-brain … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 14,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVoltage-Gated Channels as Causative Agents for EpilepsiesMutasem Abuhamed, Xiao Bo, Kun Xia et al.Problem statement: Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that afflicts 1-2% of the general population worldwide. It encompasses a variety of disorders with seizures. Approach: Idiopathic epilepsies were defined as a heterogeneous group of seizure disorders that show no underlying cause .Voltage-gated ion channels defect were recognized etiology of epilepsy in the central nervous system. The aim of this article … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeatures in Tubercular Meningoencephalitis Diagnosis: 18 Childhood CasesP. Di Carlo, D. Cabibi, A. Casuccio et al.The aim of this research is to illustrate clinical and instrumental features of central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) in childhood in order to allow prompt diagnosis and adequate patient management.

Although pulmonary TB tends to be the most common form of the disease, the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,789 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBridging from Cells to Cognition in Autism Pathophysiology: Biological Pathways to Defective Brain Function and PlasticityMatthew P. Anderson, Brian S. Hooker, Martha R. HerbertWe review evidence to support a model where the disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the brain that leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,455 accessesView PDFCite
