Assessment of the structural and functional characteristics of human mesenchymal stem cells associated with a prolonged exposure of morphine
Abstract The discovery of the expression of opioid receptors in the skin and their role in orchestrating the process of tissue repair gave rise to questions regarding the potential effects of clinical morphine treatment in wound healing.Although short term treatment was reported to improve tissue regeneration, in vivo chronic administration was ass
Automatic Diagnosis of Epileptic Seizure in Electroencephalography Signals Using Nonlinear Dynamics Features
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders generally characterized by sudden and recurrent unprovoked seizures, which is commonly diagnosed through visual inspection of electroencephalography (EEG) signals.However, since EEG signals are highly complex, nonlinear and nonstationary in nature, both visual inspection and the existing com
