Acidification indication

Trends of pH decrease in the Mediterranean Sea through high frequency observational data: indication of ocean acidification in the basin

A significant fraction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) released to the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans, leading to a range of chemical changes and causing ocean acidification (OA). Assessing the impact of OA on marine ecosystems requires the accurate detection of the rate of seawater pH change. This work reports the results of nearly 3 years of continuous pH measurements in the Medit...

Does indication drive use, or does use drive indication?

I this issue of The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, Fu et al1 report on the results of a study of paliperidone palmitate once-monthly in patients diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. In this well-designed and well-executed trial, paliperidone monthly was used either as monotherapy or as an adjunct to mood stabilizers or antidepressants. The subjects were randomized to continue paliperidone ...

Inm-1: Indication of First Trimester Sonongraphy

Improvement in ultrasound technology, including transvaginalsonography and higher frequency probes, has led to a better understanding of early pregnancy development. The first trimester ultrasound have been identified that can be used to reassure women that their pregnancy is progressing normally or abnormal them that their pregnancy will fail. The practicing radiologist and obstetrician must b...

Stereoelectroencephalography: Indication and Efficacy

Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is a method for invasive study of patients with refractory epilepsy. Localization of the epileptogenic zone in SEEG relied on the hypothesis of anatomo-electro-clinical analysis limited by X-ray, analog electroencephalography (EEG), and seizure semiology in the 1950s. Modern neuroimaging studies and digital video-EEG have developed the hypothesis aiming at mo...
