The role of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in restoration of post stroke motor power

Abstract Background Stroke causes long-term disability, and rTMS—by modulating cortical excitability and promoting neuroplasticity—may enhance post-stroke motor recovery. Aim To investigate the effect of rTMS on motor outcome in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients admitted withi...

Rapid degradation of sulfur-containing pollutants in water using potassium oximate through nucleophilic transformation with kinetic, mechanistic and antimicrobial evaluation

Abstract Sulfur-containing organic pollutants persist in industrial wastewater, particularly in petroleum refining effluents, where their chemical stability limits conventional treatment. Here, we report a rapid and efficient degradation strategy based on potassium 2,3-butanedion...

Multi-analytical characterization and radiation shielding assessment of natural ophiolitic rocks: a combined experimental, mineralogical, and simulation analysis

Abstract Ophiolitic suites derived from oceanic crust are rich in ferromagnesian and mafic minerals and exhibit relatively high densities, making them promising and economical materials for radiation shielding. This study evaluates ophiolitic rocks exposed along the Marsa Alam–Id...

Decoding the causes of ischemic stroke despite ongoing oral anticoagulation and their clinical impact: the ASPERA-R study

BACKGROUND: Oral anticoagulants (OACs), including vitamin K antagonists and direct OACs, reduce stroke risk in atrial fibrillation (AF), yet breakthrough ischemic stroke still occurs in 1-2% of patients annually despite adequate therapy. The mechanisms underlying these events rem...

Temporal Feature Interaction for Robust Remote Sensing Image Change Detection: A Taxonomy and Cross-Domain Comparative Study

Remote sensing change detection (RSCD) has advanced through convolutional, attention-based, transformer, and hybrid architectures, yet models are commonly compared as whole architectural families rather than by how their temporal streams interact. This study introduces the Tempor...
