Additive effect of tDCS and neuromotor recruitment on functional recovery in chronic paraplegia: A randomized controlled trial
Functional recovery in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) is traditionally viewed as limited, particularly after the spontaneous recovery window has closed. This single-blind randomized controlled trial...
Bridging the biomass data gap: A literature-based Length-Weight Relationship framework for estimating representative dry weights of freshwater invertebrates in Korean rivers
Representative species weight is a critical ecological index for modeling, vulnerability assessment, and toxicity prediction, yet scientifically validated data for aquatic invertebrates remain limited...
Predicting elevated transcranial doppler velocity among patients with sickle cell anemia in Uganda: A cross-sectional study
