Delivering transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) shortly after the end of a visual stimulus can cause a TMS-induced 'replay' or 'visual echo' of the visual percept. In the current study, we find an entrainment effect that after repeated elicitations of TMS-induced replay with the same visual stimulus, the replay can be induced by TMS alone, without the need for the physical visual stimulus. I...

ISSN 0001-5555 Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) of childhood is a chronic autoimmune blistering disease characterised by linear deposition of IgA at the cutaneous basement membrane zone (BMZ) (1–4). Although LABD is rare, it represents the most common autoimmune blistering disorder of child...

Background: The minor salivary gland biopsy (MSGB) is considered the “ gold standard ” for diagnosis of primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS). histological hallmark focal lymphocytic infiltration with presence 50 or more lymphocytes per 4 mm 2 (focus score ≥ 1). Several studies have documented association between focus (FS) and extraglandular involvement, suggesting that FS could be used as a index ...

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that exercise enhances cognitive and functional capacities in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we investigated the effect of long-term (60 days) and short- term (10 days) exercise on the spatial memory deficits in an animal model of AD. Methods: Fifty male rats were divided into 5 groups 1) intact, 2) sham, 3) sham-Alzheimer 4) ...

Lymph node status is a critical prognostic factor for patients with pancreatic head cancer [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Peripancreatic nodes are the first to be involved. The paraaortic lymph nodes are involved later, via the lymphatics network surrounding the posterior pancreatoduodenal, superior mesenteric and common hepatic arteries [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Para-aortic lymph node involvement is considered M1 in...

We apply Random Forests to detailed survey data of social relations in order to derive an inductive typology of egocentric networks. Beginning with over 40 descriptors of 1050 northern California respondents’ networks, we combine 21 of these into seven dimensions, the extent to which those networks display: (1) interaction with nonkin, (2) proximity to kin, (3) overall involvement with kin (inc...

7-Nitroindazole (NI) is a widely used inhibitor of neuronal nitricoxide synthase (nNOS) used to study the role of the neuronal NO pathway in the nervous system. 7-NI prevents convulsions, including 2-amino-4-methylphosphinobutyric acid (glufosinate)-induced convulsions, in experimental models. Herein, we examined nNOS involvement in glufosinate-induced convulsions and the specificity of 7-NI fo...

purpose: to determine the prevalence of ocular involvement in patients with tuberculosis (tb) infection. methods: all patients with a new diagnosis of tb who were referred to zahedan tuberculosis center underwent a complete ophthalmic examination. any cases of known ophthalmic disease or previous ocular involvement were excluded from the study. prevalence of ocular involvement with 95% confiden...
