A Telephone Transmitter without Electrodes

Can presynaptic depolarization release transmitter without calcium influx?

Recent experimental evidence suggesting that presynaptic depolarization can evoke transmitter release without calcium influx has been re-examined. The presynaptic terminal of the squid giant synapse can be depolarized by variable amounts while recording presynaptic calcium current under voltage clamp and postsynaptic responses. Small depolarizations open few calcium channels with large single c...

Discharge Against Medical Advice in Teaching Hospitals: A Telephone Survey

Background: Discharge with personal consent is considered as one of the main problems in hospitalization condition since many patients leave the hospital prematurely against the doctor’s advice. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the factors affecting the discharge with personal satisfaction in selected teaching hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Methods: The pr...

Electroporation in cancer therapy without insertion of electrodes.

Electroporation in cancer therapy in which elongated micron-sized conductors are used to enhance an externally applied electric field is investigated. Such field enhancement was previously used in carbon and boron nitride nanotube electropermeabilization. It is envisaged that the micro-conductors would be injected together with therapeutic drugs into tumorous regions, and a pulsed or alternatin...
