BACKGROUND: Therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of thiopurine drugs (used as anticancer and immunosuppressant agents) are affected by thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) enzyme activity. genotype and/or phenotype is used to predict the risk for adve...
BACKGROUND: Plantar pressure image (PPI) recorded in high spatial and temporal resolution is very useful in clinical gait analysis. For functional analysis of PPI, image registration is often performed to maximally correlate source image with a templ...
Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) enhances motor learning in adults. We have demonstrated that anodal tDCS and high-definition (HD) tDCS of the motor cortex can enhance motor skill acquisition in children, but behavioral mechanisms remai...
