Anodal Stimulation - The Intrigue Continues

When cardiac pacing is performed in the bipolar configuration, both the cathode (negatively charged electrode) and the anode (positively charged electrode) are in contact with the myocardium. Myocardial stimulation by the pacing stimulus typically occurs only at the interface with the cathode. This is because (i) given equal sized electrodes, anodal stimulation has a higher threshold compared t...

144-147 Garcia LAJP 1864:Garcia

Rabeprazole sodium (RAB) is an anti-secretory agent which inhibits the enzyme H+/K+ ATPase, present in the stomach parietal cells. The aim of this work is to develop and validate a simple and fast ultraviolet spectrophotometric method (UV) for quantification of RAB in pharmaceutical formulation and compare it with a capillary electrophoresis (CE) one, previously validated. The UV technique was ...

Capturing plant intrigue

electron micrographs of many plant features and details of their reproduction. “Our work results from an enthusiasm to communicate and express our shared passion and fascination for the beauty of sexual reproduction among flowering plants,” the authors write. Their aim is to engage audiences for the research and conservation work in the plant sciences carried out throughout the world. And they ...

Interoceptive cortex in the posterior insula: comment on Garcia-Larrea et al. 2010 Brain 133, 2528.

Sir, In a recent publication in Brain, Garcia-Larrea et al. (2010) reported their identification of patients with post-stroke central pain and selective thermosensory dysfunction, but without other somatosensory abnormalities, and they suggested that the basis for such dissociated symptoms might be the presence of a 'third somatosensory area' specifically supporting temperature sensation in the...
