The surface wettabilities of polymer brushes with hydrophobic and hydrophilic functional
groups were discussed on the basis of conventional static and dynamic contact angle …

An autopsy case of hypertrophic pachymeningitis and multiple cranial neuropathies is reported.
A 53‐year‐old woman with paraplegia and various neurological signs which developed …

Super-hydrophilic polymer brushes were prepared by surface-initiated atom transfer radical
polymerization of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) on initiator-immobilized …

The advent of neuroimaging has brought medical attention to the frequency of unsuspected
white matter lesions in the brains of elderly people. In 1987 Hackinski suggested the term “…

We carried out an investigation to identify neuromelanin-containing noradrenergic and
dopaminergic neurons in the locus ceruleus and substantia nigra pars compacta of healthy …

Zwitterionic polymers constitute a unique class of polyelectrolytes which have not been
studied systematically because of the difficulty in their controlled synthesis and precise …

Background and Purpose Patients with acute stroke on admission to the hospital are often
found to have high blood pressure. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the …

Background: Current guidelines call for high-intensity statin therapy in patients with cardiovascular
disease on the basis of several previous “more versus less statins” trials. However, no …

Background Although dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel reduces early
recurrence of ischaemic stroke, with long-term use this type of therapy is no longer effective …

Neuromelanin-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging is able to visualize changes associated
with neuronal loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and locus coeruleus (LC) …
