Electroolfactogram recordings were made with a four-electrode assembly from the olfactory epithelium overlying the endoturbinate bones facing the nasal septum. In this study we tested whether odors of different chemical structures produce maximal responses along longitudinally oriented regions following the olfactory receptor gene expression zones described in the literature. The distribution o...

Assembly of electrochemically active materials into paper-based electrodes opens up new opportunities for flexible energy storage devices. Yat Li and co-workers review the recent advances in the synthesis of paper-based electrodes, including paper-supported electrodes and paper-like electrodes in article 1700107. Their structural features, electrochemical performances and implementation as elec...

• brainstorm/NYHead.zip contains a template to be used with the brainstorm package (see http://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm/). This includes the 5 mm resolution MR image of the ICBM152 v2009b template originally obtained from http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/ ServicesAtlases/ICBM152NLin2009, a surface of the head, a highly detailed (75K nodes) surface of the cortex, names and locations of 231 elec...

BACKGROUND The persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a relatively common con-genital venous return anomaly. It may have serious clinical implications especially in case of pacemaker/cardioverter-defibrillator implantation, venous catheter insertion, radio-frequency ablation and cardiac surgery. There is also some evidence that PLSVC may be accompanied by arrhythmias. The aim of this rep...

BACKGROUND Wearable textile electrodes for the detection of biopotentials are a promising tool for the monitoring and early diagnosis of chronic diseases. We present a comparative study of the electrical characteristics of four textile electrodes manufactured from common fabrics treated with a conductive polymer, a commercial fabric, and disposable Ag/AgCl electrodes. These characteristics will...

background existence of fluoride in drinking water above the permissible level causes human skeletal fluorosis. objectives electrocoagulation by iron and aluminum electrodes was proposed for removing fluoride from drinking water. materials and methods effects of different operating conditions such as treatment time, initial ph, applied voltage, type and number of electrodes, the spaces between ...

High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) has recently been developed as a noninvasive brain stimulation approach that increases the accuracy of current delivery to the brain by using arrays of smaller "high-definition" electrodes, instead of the larger pad-electrodes of conventional tDCS. Targeting is achieved by energizing electrodes placed in predetermined configurati...

PURPOSE To report the authors' early experience with radio-frequency (RF) ablation of renal cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four percutaneous RF ablation treatments for nine tumors were performed in eight patients with renal cell carcinoma. Indications included coexistent morbidity, previous surgery, or solitary kidney in patients with a life expectancy shorter than 10 years. Sma...
