To study the effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on hormone release, we measured circulating concentrations of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), prolactin (PRL), growth hormone (GH) and cortisol (CORT) immediately before and at 2 min, 5 min, 15 min, and 30 min following ECT. Compared to pre-ECT concentrations, there were significant increases in post-ECT plasma ACTH, PRL and CORT. GH did not change consistently. No significant difference between unilateral and bilateral ECT was observed. Compared to the first ECT, repeated treatments were associated with a significant decrease in the magnitude of hormone surge. These hormonal changes induced by ECT may reflect changes at the neurotransmitter level.
Searching is the important requirement of the web user and results is based on crawler. Users rely on search engines to get desired information in various forms text, images, sound, Video. Search engine gives information on the basis of indexed database and this database is created by the URLs through crawler. Some URLs directly or indirectly leads to same page. Crawling and indexing similar contents URLs implies wastage of resources. Crawler gives such results because of bad crawling algorithm, poor quality Ranking algorithm or low level user experience. The challenge is to remove duplicate results, near duplicate document detection and elimination to improve the performance of any search engine. This paper proposes a Web Crawler which performs crawling in particular category to remove irrelevant URL and implements URL normalization for removing duplicate URLs within particular category. Results are analyzed on the basis of total URL Fetched, Duplicate URLs, and Query execution time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
