Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) is a common and costly complication of stroke and is associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and hospitalization. Although most patients can spontaneously resume swallowing, there are still many patients who do not recover and even die. Despite multiple advances in the acute treatment and secondary prevention of stroke, the effective treatment of PSD remains a neglected area. Studies have shown that repair mechanisms of neurostimulation techniques and increased cortical activity play an important role in the treatment of PSD. In addition, nutritional interventions are also crucial for the treatment of malnutrition in PSD patients. Therefore, this article reviews the effects of the current main clinical treatment methods and nutritional interventions on the treatment and rehabilitation of PSD patients. It also emphasized the necessity of developing an individualized care plan for PSD patients, which is of great significance to promote the clinical treatment, nutritional status, prognosis, and quality of life of PSD patients.
By invoking the Rabi rotation technique, the Schrodinger wavefunction of a neutral particle with a magnetic moment and a high-spin is exactly solved in a harmonically-changing magnetic field. This result is then applied to illustrate what the accuracy of the quantum adiabatic approximation is exactly and how the non-adiabatic transition vanishes in accompaniment with the appearence of Berry's geometrical phase. The discussion of this paper verifies C. N. Yang's point of view about the generalization of the quantum adiabatic approximation in connection with Berry's phase.
Combining sorafenib and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization was safe and effective for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients with extrahepatic spread but without portal vein tumor thrombi. Portal vein tumor thrombi and cholinesterase level are independent predictors of prognosis following this combined therapy.
By making use of the adiabatic approximate method, we derive the spin rotation formula of a relativistic neutral particle propagating in a slowly changing magnetic field, which involves the effects of the Berry's phases. In the non–relativistic limit, the Berry's phases result in an additional rotation in OVV spin rotation.
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.
