PRE-SURGICAL FMRI LOCALIZATION OF THE HAND MOTOR CORTEX IN BRAIN TUMORS: COMPARISON BETWEEN FINGER TAPPING TASK AND A NEW VISUAL-TRIGGERED FINGER MOVEMENT TASK

Introduction: Pre-surgical mapping is clinically essential in the surgical management of brain tumors to preserve functions.A common technique to localize eloquent areas is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).In tumors involving the peri-rolandic regions, the finger tapping task (FTT) is typically administered to delineate the functional a

Background: This study investigates the relationship between bite force and grip strength as indicators of frailty in older adults.Frailty syndrome, characterized by increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes, poses significant challenges in geriatric care.Objectives: This research builds on previous findings linking oral health to frailty

Abstract The last decade provided significant advances in the understanding of microbiota and its role in human health.Probiotics are live microorganisms with proven benefits for NIKE AIR FORCE 1 the host and were mostly studied in the context of gut health, but they can also confer significant benefits for oral health, mainly in the treatment of g
