Lying supine, the technician uses my mask to bolt me to the treatment table. After he leaves the room, I feel alone, and at first, afraid.

After 2 weeks, the skin on my neck and inside my mouth becomes red, sore, an...
متن کاملThe torso ligand, unmasked?
When a transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase (RTK) is expressed throughout the plasma membrane, yet only a specific handful of them must be activated, what's a ligand to do? During the development of the anterior and posterior termini of the Drosophila embryo, uniformly secreted ligand precursors are activated by proteolysis near the location of the receptors that must be activated. St...
متن کاملThe Negative BOLD Signal Unmasked
Many fMRI experiments show regions of cortex that seem to respond in antiphase with the primary stimulus. In this issue of Neuron, Shmuel et al. show that this "negative BOLD response" is spatially and temporally linked to reductions in blood flow. By combining BOLD and blood flow data to model the energy consumption in cortex, they conclude that the NBR is primarily due to active neuronal inhi...

The case of an elderly woman is reported in whom alendronate, given for osteoporosis, led to severe hypocalcaemia a few days after starting the drug treatment. This was caused by the unmasking of previously unrecognised hypoparathyroidism.
متن کاملDiabetes unmasked by electric shock.
Following an accidental electric shock, a boy with no previous symptoms developed hyperglycaemia, rapidly evolving into diabetes. He was aglycosuric for 24 hours after the shock. Islet cell antibodies were shown shortly after the accident. Although destined to develop diabetes, it seems likely that the electric shock unmasked impaired glucose tolerance. Glucose homoeostasis should be monitored ...
