Studies have shown that presenting own-name stimuli on the fringe of awareness in Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) generates a P3 component and provides an accurate countermeasure resistant method for detecting identity deception (Bowman et al., 2013, 2014). The current study investigates how effective this Fringe-P3 is at recognition familiar name with lower salience (i.e., famous names...

An alternative vapor was explored to replace carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) for testing breakthrough times of cartridges and canisters of gas masks in the National Approval Test of Respirators. Cyclohexane was single out as a candidate for the alternative vapor out of six vapors: trichloroethylene, n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, toluene and cyclohexane from the viewpoints of similarity of vapor p...

Breakthrough pain is a transient exacerbation of pain that occurs either spontaneously, or in relation to a specific predictable or unpredictable trigger, despite relatively stable and adequately controlled background pain. Typically, breakthrough pain has a fast onset and short duration, and a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Normal-release oral opioids are the traditional phar...

BACKGROUND Epilepsy is one of the major brain disorders worldwide. Breakthrough seizures carry a heavy burden of epilepsy, with increased morbidity and risk of premature mortality. Several factors have been suggested to precipitate break through seizures but these have not been studied in our setting. The study sought to determine the prevalence of breakthrough seizures, as well as precipitatin...

INTRODUCTION The Estech COBRA FusionTM Ablation System was developed to provide superior epicardial ablation performance on the beating heart. Current ablation devices have significant limitations that prevent effective use in creating full-thickness (transmural) lesions. Bipolar ablation clamps are a widely accepted means to create transmural lesions of the left and right pulmonary veins (PVs)...
