Disease relevance of Communication Aids for Disabled

  • However, the PT (500 micrograms/kg/day) treated rats or the pair fed control (PFC: TDD + thiamine of 5 mg/kg, i.p.) showed no decrease in body weight gain compared with the regular diet control (C) [1].
  • Twenty patients with multiple sclerosis, in whom treatment with azathioprine and steroids had not altered the progression of the disease, were given additional treatment with either antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) (seven patients), thoracic duct drainage (TDD) (five patients) or a combination of both (eight patients) [2].
 

High impact information on Communication Aids for Disabled

  • Thoracic duct drainage (TDD) was performed in 4 patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis [3].
  • It was possible to taper oral corticosteroids and to discontinue azathioprine during TDD without any clinical or laboratory evidence of exacerbation [4].
  • HbA(1c), total daily insulin dose (TDD), self-monitored blood glucose readings, and adverse events were compared after 16 weeks of therapy [5].
  • The effect of oral controlled-release (CR), oral transmucosal (buccal; TMD) and transdermal (TDD) drug delivery systems on plasma concentrations of melatonin (MT) and its principal metabolite in human subjects using a crossover, single dose design was evaluated [6].
  • TDD resulted in a significant delay in systemic drug levels and a gradual decline in drug delivery after patch removal, possibly due to deposition of melatonin in the skin [6].
 

Anatomical context of Communication Aids for Disabled

 

Associations of Communication Aids for Disabled with chemical compounds

  • A thiamine (T) deficient state in rats was produced by feeding the rats a T deficient diet (TDD) [7].
  • Cerebroside levels of four regions in the PT, OT or TDD group remarkably decreased, and PFC rats showed a significant improvement of the decrease in cerebroside level [1].
  • Brain lipid composition was studied in thiamine deficient rats treated with thiamine antimetabolites (oxythiamine: OT, and pyrithiamine: PT) and thiamine deficient diet (TDD) [1].
  • The percentage of correct responses was significantly higher in the idebenone-treated group than in the control TDD group [8].
  • The ODD and TDD group had a mean gentamicin peak and trough concentration of 10.1 +/- 3.0 vs. 7.8 +/- 2.0 microg/ml (p < 0.05) and 1.6 +/- 1.1 vs. 2.6 +/- 1.2 microg/ml (p < 0.05), respectively [9].
 

Gene context of Communication Aids for Disabled

  • TMD provided prompt systemic drug levels with less variability than oral CR or TDD delivery [6].
  • The design incorporated the Epson HX-20 computer, the Votrax Type 'N Talk speech synthesizer, and a customized laptray [10].
  • This study examined word level intelligibility differences between DECTalk and MacinTalk speech synthesizers using the Modified Rhyme Test in an open format transcription task [11].
  • The California connection: interfacing a Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD) and an Apple computer [12].
