Meeting climate change targets to limit global warming to 2°C requires rapid and large reductions in demand for products that most contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These include production of bulk materials (e.g. steel and cement), energy supply (e.g. fossil fuels) and animal source foods (particularly ruminants and their products). Effective strategies to meet these targets requir...

The dorsal and ventral cortical pathways, driven predominantly by magnocellular (M) and parvocellular (P) inputs, respectively, assume leading roles in models of visual information processing. Although in prior proposals, the dorsal and ventral pathways support non-conscious and conscious vision, respectively, recent modelling and empirical developments indicate that each pathway plays importan...

BACKGROUND Dissociative reactions in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been regarded as strategic responses that limit arousal. Neuroimaging studies suggest distinct prefrontal responses in individuals displaying dissociative and hyperarousal responses to threat in PTSD. Increased prefrontal activity may reflect enhanced regulation of limbic arousal networks in dissociation. If dissoci...

background and objective: hysteroscopy is considered as very important in the investigation of abnormal uterine bleeding. it is usually performed as an outpatient procedure under either local or no anesthesia. this study was designed to compare the combination of paracervical block (pcb) and conscious sedation with paracervical block or conscious sedation alone for outpatient hysteroscopy in te...

Recognition memory enables us to discriminate whether an event has occurred in the past, and is widely interpreted to reflect the conscious retrieval of episodic traces or familiarity. Non-conscious mnemonic influences, such as repetition priming, are thought to have a negligible effect on standard tests of recognition memory. A major difficulty with this conclusion is that it is exclusively ba...

Introduction: Moderate sedation (MS) is frequently needed to successfully accomplish diagnostic or interventional procedures in children presenting to the emergency department (ED). Skilled personnel and equipment suitable for infants and children are essential for safely delivering sedation care. There are no current national estimates of the number of ED visits involving MS. We sought to esti...
