Endosonographic staging for N1 disease.

I congratulate Dooms et al 1 on their important study recently published in CHEST (January 2015) that investigated the role of endosonography for mediastinal nodal staging in patients with operable and resectable lung cancer and suspicion of N1 involvement based on CT and PET imaging. To my surprise, the sensitivity of endosonography to detect N2 disease was only 38%, with a negative predictive...

MEDICINA NUCL v24 n1 2005

evaluate the impact and clinical value of anatomical-functional image fusion in the study interpretation and clinical management of patients with neuroendocrine tumours (NET) using somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) and combined transmission and emission tomography – single-photon emission tomography/CT (SPET/CT). Material and methods: Twelve patients (8 female and 4 male; age range 32-74...

Functional neural dynamics underlying auditory event-related N1 and N1 suppression response.

Presenting tone triplets of identical stimuli preceded by silent intervals of 30 s produces a series of three N1 averaged event-related potentials (ERPs), the first being of greater amplitude (non-suppressed N1) than the second and third ones (suppressed N1). Maximal statistically independent components (ICs) of single-trial multi-electrode scalp EEG responses to triplets were obtained by ICA a...

N1 – IUBMB 50th Anniversary Symposium: Protein Structure and Function N1-001 Molecular biology of mammalian prions

Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) are fatal neurodegenerative diseases of humans and animals. The underlying infectious agent, the prion, accumulates not only in the central nervous system (CNS) but also in secondary lymphoid organs. I will revisit the role of the immune system in peripheral prion pathogenesis, while focusing on the mechanisms by which extraneural and extralymphat...
