Experimental analysis and computational modeling of interburst intervals in spontaneous activity of cortical neuronal culture [PDF]
Rhythmic bursting is the most striking behavior of cultured cortical networks and may start in the second week after plating. In this study, we focus on the intervals between spontaneously occurring bursts, and compare experimentally recorded values with

Investigating the flow dynamics in the obstructed and stented ureter by means of a biomimetic artificial model. [PDF]
Double-J stenting is the most common clinical method employed to restore the upper urinary tract drainage, in the presence of a ureteric obstruction. After implant, stents provide an immediate pain relief by decreasing the pressure in the renal pelvis (P)

The relation between cardiac 123I-mIBG scintigraphy and functional response 1 year after CRT implantation [PDF]
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a disease-modifying therapy in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Current guidelines ascribe CRT eligibility on three parameters only: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), QRS duration, and New ...

In Synch but Not in Step: Circadian Clock Circuits Regulating Plasticity in Daily Rhythms [PDF]
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is a network of neural oscillators that program daily rhythms in mammalian behavior and physiology. Over the last decade much has been learned about how SCN clock neurons coordinate together in time and space to form a ...

Twenty years' use of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sheet for an artificial cardiac pacemaker
Physicians can prolongedly use expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sheets for fixation of artificial cardiac pacemakers to avoid pacemaker lead displacement. The sheets can also be used to prevent implant rejection in patients with metal allergies.
