Disentangling invasiveness and invasibility during invasion in synthesized grassland communities [PDF]
• An experiment with synthesized grassland communities was performed to identify plant traits that contribute to invasiveness and community traits that promote invasibility, and to study the relationship between, and the relative importance of, invasiveness and invasibility.

Invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation [PDF]
Early recognition of patients who might potentially require ventilatory support is a key goal of critical care outreach programs and an important skill for all hospital medical staff. Decisions about the initiation and timing of invasive ventilation can be difficult and early discussion with critical care colleagues is essential.

Invasive and Non-invasive Neurostimulation for OCD
It becomes increasingly clear that (non-)invasive neurostimulation is an effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In this chapter we review the available evidence on techniques and targets, clinical results including a meta-analysis, mechanisms of action, and animal research.

Simplified minimally invasive invasive parathyroidectomy [PDF]
We agree with Wong et al that minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) is a safe and effective option in selected patients (approximately 50% of those with primary hyperparathyroidism) but would like to comment on some aspects of methodology and conclusions as reported in their case series. The authors quote a reference from 20031 to support their

My garden is being invaded by Japanese knotweed, as are those of my neighbors and those of many people who live in other places far from its native East Asia. I keep it more or less under control by eliminating individual extrusions, but I know that I am engaged in an open-ended struggle rather than a campaign leading to possible victory.

“Non-invasive” brain stimulation is not non-invasive [PDF]
The functions of the healthy brain can be studied in two main ways. Firstly, the changes in the brain's state can be measured using techniques such as EEG or functional MRI. Secondly, the activity of the brain can be disrupted through the use of brain stimulation. The famous experiments of Wilder Penfield and colleagues in the 1950s showed the power of

Thermal monitoring: Invasive, minimal-invasive and non-invasive approaches
Thermal treatments need verification of effectiveness. Invasive intra-tumoural thermometry was established as a standard method several years ago. However, in deep heating, invasive techniques have disadvantages. Therefore, alternatives have been suggested and are under development.In three phase II studies treating rectal cancer, cervical cancer and ...

The pop cultural moment that most typifies the social psychology of invasion for many of us is Orson Welles's 1938 coast to coast CBS radio broadcast of Invaders from Mars, a narration based on H.G. Wells's The War of the Worlds. News bulletins and scene broadcasts followed Welles's introduction, featuring, in contemporary journalistic style ...

Invasive and non-invasive monitoring in the ICU
Effective invasive and non-invasive monitoring, when coupled with good clinical decision making, can improve outcomes for critically ill patients. When deciding on the best monitoring technique, it is important to consider the specific information that is needed to guide critical care management, while balancing the reliability of the data obtained and
