Advances in Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: More Clinical Options, More Science

Sympathetic skin response. Glabella stimulation may be more useful than peripheral nerve stimulation in clinical practice.

The aim is to verify whether glabella electrical stimulation evokes sympathetic skin responses (SSR) without inter-side differences in latency and area of the responses and is more useful in mononeuropathies than peripheral nerve stimulation. SSRs were recorded in 25 healthy subjects from right palm, third (M3SSR) and fifth fingers and contralateral third finger. The inter-side differences of g...

Influenza vaccines: more options and more opportunities.

Influenza, whether seasonal or pandemic, causes substantial morbidity and mortality. Today, vaccines are the foundation of influenza prevention. Globally, influenza vaccine manufacturing capacity is at an all-time high [1], as are the number and types of influenza vaccines available on the market and in development. In the United States, in addition to the live attenuated and inactivated subuni...

MacCHESS Advances: Microcrystallography and More

Microcrystallography Crystals of proteins and other biological macromolecules never grow very big, due to the “soft” nature of the molecules and the weakness of the forces holding them together. At CHESS and other synchrotron sources, it is routine to deal with crystals that are ~100 μm across, but how often do we need to work with even smaller crystals? Ithaca High School student Sarah Kim, un...
