BACKGROUND Non-invasive brain stimulation-related seizures or syncopal events are rare. However, we report on a syncopal event in a healthy female during a transcranial magnetic stimulation single-pulse testing session. CASE PRESENTATION A 47-year-old healthy female presented for a transcranial magnetic stimulation session involving single-pulse assessment of cortical excitability. During the...

Sir, We greatly appreciate your interest in our article. The study by Sayani et al. (2005) has shown that there is no correlation between the TPMT activity and the development of azathioprine induced adverse events. Therefore estimation of TPMT levels to predict adverse events seems unnecessary. The apprehension of using 300 mg pulse doses of azathioprine in the absence of TPMT assessment also ...

A recent study of magnetic reconnectiori in the earth's magnetotail dentified five events in which a pulse of heated electrons appeared near the end of an interval of fast tailward plasma flow. Further investigation of these events has revealed the following information on their microstructure' (1) Measurements of the electron Velocity distribution show that the temperature rise can be characte...

Background To determine the effectiveness and safety of LCZ696 for the clinical treatment of hypertension, we performed a meta-analysis of the previous clinical trials. Methods Relevant English articles and randomized controlled trials were searched in Pubmed, Embase, EBSCO, Cochrane base and ClinicalTrials.gov. The last search date was July 20th, 2017. Results Compared with 20mg olmesartan...

Fast-neutron/gamma-ray pulse-shape discrimination has been performed for the organic liquid scintillators NE 213A and EJ 305 using a time-of-flight based neutron-tagging technique waveform digitization on an event-by-event basis. Gamma-ray sources Geant4-based simulation were used to calibrate scintillation-light yield. The difference in pulse shape neutron gamma-ray events was analyzed by inte...

Pulse pressure, an index of large artery stiffness, has been associated with coronary events. However, mechanisms for this association remain unclear. In this study, we examined the relationship between pulse pressure and the progression of coronary atherosclerosis and the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on pulse pressure in postmenopausal women with angiographically confirmed coro...

nephritis remains an important problem in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (sle). we conducted retrospective study to evaluate the efficiency of intravenous pulse cyclophosphamide in lupus nephritis: from 1983 to 1993, we reviewed 133 patients with biopsy proven lupus nephritis, 47 of them excluded because of short period of follow-up or defective laboratory data. eighty six patients ...

Opsanus beta expresses a full complement of ornithine-urea cycle (OUC) enzymes and is facultatively ureotelic, reducing ammonia-N excretion and maintaining urea-N excretion under conditions of crowding/confinement. The switch to ureotelism is keyed by a modest rise in cortisol associated with a substantial increase in cytosolic glutamine synthetase for trapping of ammonia-N and an upregulation ...

this research was carried out in order to evaluate the influence of different concentrations of ethanol and methanol (0, 4, 6 and 12%) and two pulse treatments (12 and 24 hour) on longevity of cut standard-carnation (sensi cultivar) in a factorial based on randomized completely design with three replications, at tehran university, aboreyhan pardis, horticulture department, during 2010. the resu...

Diurnal pulse (outward propagating signal) is a prominent feature in tropical cyclones (TCs) and closely related to TC structure intensity. It elusive whether the diurnal deep convectively coupled what influence on (daily) mean structure. This study addresses these outstanding problems using long-term satellite precipitation, infrared, microwave data. of precipitation occurs ∼50% days, frequenc...
