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
