BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE After focal cerebral ischemia, depending on its localization and extent, secondary neuronal damage may occur that is remote from the initial lesion. In this study differences in secondary damage of the ventroposterior thalamic nucleus (VPN) and the reticular thalamic nucleus (RTN) were investigated with the use of different ischemia models. METHODS Transient middle cere...

Ventrolateral respiratory column (VRC) circuits that modulate breathing in response to changes in central chemoreceptor drive are incompletely understood. We employed multielectrode arrays and spike train correlation methods to test predictions of the hypothesis that pre-Bötzinger complex (pre-BötC) and retrotrapezoid nucleus/parafacial (RTN-pF) circuits cooperate in chemoreceptor-evoked tuning...

Abstract A symbiotic dialogue between the microbiota and host is essential to promote protective immune responses in skin. Integrated retroviral elements, or retrotransposons (RTNs), comprise up 45% of human genome. We previously found that skin are dependent on reactivation keratinocyte-intrinsic sensing RTNs. Here, we explored possibility RTNs may also represent a source antigens recognized b...

Random telegraph noise (RTN) adversely induces time dependent device-to-device variations and requires modeling to optimize circuit design. Many early works were focused under dc test conditions, although digital circuits typically operate ac conditions it has been reported that RTN is substantially different from RTN. Tests on carried out mainly individual traps, a reliable statistical distrib...

Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 287: R1407–R1418, 2004. First published August 12, 2004; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00404.2004.—We tested the hypothesis that carbenoxolone, a pharmacological inhibitor of gap junctions, would reduce...

We examined pH regulation in two chemosensitive areas of the brain, the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) and the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), to identify the proton transporters involved in regulation of intracellular pH (pHi) in medullary glia. Transverse brain slices from young rats [postnatal day 8 (P8) to P20] were loaded with the pH-sensitive probe 2',7'-bis (2-carboxyethyl)-5,6-carboxyfl...

In this work, a new statistical detection method of Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) in the frequency domain is presented. An algorithm for automated Lorentzian spectra noise power spectral density (PSD) device proposed, which enables processing large amount experimental data. Using 40 nm Bulk CMOS technology as test vehicle, we demonstrate that PSD allows an easier, faster, and often more precise ...

We address the interaction of single- and two-qubit systems with an external transverse fluctuating field and analyze in detail the dynamical decoherence induced by Gaussian noise and random telegraph noise (RTN). Upon exploiting the exact RTN solution of the time-dependent von Neumann equation, we analyze in detail the behavior of quantum correlations and prove the non-Markovianity of the dyna...

BACKGROUND Haemodialysis (HD) initiation is unplanned in up to 50% of patients, mainly due to late diagnosis and/or late nephrology referral. In these patients, time does not permit the multidisciplinary predialysis care that is associated with increased independent renal replacement therapy (RRT) modality choice and better access to kidney transplantation. We established a Renal Triage Nurse (...
