This activation leads to stimulation of downstream signaling via generation of second messengers.8 Heart failure is characterized by long-term desensitization of the β-adrenoreceptors. The desensitization is mediated by phosphorylation of residues in the C-terminal tail of the activated receptor by … Continue reading →

EMG was recorded at the extensor indicis muscle to ensure appropriate execution of active and passive movements. Ag/AgCl disc electrodes were mounted in a bipolar arrangement over the extensor indicis muscle at a distance of 2 cm. The experimenter outside … Continue reading →

2001b) and this is a problematic issue for patients with completely locked-in syndrome. This kind of communication system is categorized as dependent BCI, because it depends on muscular control of gaze direction. Slow cortical potentials (SCP) SCPs are slow voltage … Continue reading →

This, along with comprehensive pre- and post-testing of behavioral, cognitive, and neurobiological outcomes thought to be associated with the mechanism of motivation, would allow for the between-subjects isolation of the specific role that social motivation may play in producing change … Continue reading →

37, 95% CI=0.16-0.86). We found that the CT genotype only occurred in 37% of malignant tumors that had positive lymph nodes. Table 1 Clinicopathological characteristics of study subjects Table 2 The frequency of DNMT3B 46359 C→T polymorphism in cancer cases … Continue reading →

Moreover, many patients may be misdiagnosed by assessment of their ALCs, including those with high numbers of B cells and possibly NK cells or patients with residual, autoreactive (e.g. the Omenn phenotype), or alloreactive (transplacentally acquired maternal cells) T lymphocytes. … Continue reading →

These are extensor spinae. These muscle masses occupy the space between the transverse and spinous processes on both sides of the vertebral column. Electromyography shows that no activity is required during standing erect for erector spinae except for forced extension. … Continue reading →
