Methods Seventy-eight adults (SS/22; non-infectious SIRS /23; healthy (H)/33) and sixty-two children (SS/15; noninfectious SIRS /20; healthy (H)/27) were studied. Blood samples obtained on days 1, 3 and 5. Energy expenditure (EE) of patients was measured with the Gas Module E-COVX. HSPs expressions in monocytes (m) or neutrophils (n) were determined using flow cytometry. ATP concentrations were...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether right index finger movement during visually guided manual tracking task is fluctuated by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) specifically over the cerebellum and is differently fluctuated by TMS over different sites of the cerebellum. TMS was delivered over the left, middle, or right cerebellum, or Pz. Index finger movement and electromyo...

Background: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) allows noninvasive stimulation of neurons using timevarying magnetic fields. Researchers have begun combining TMS with functional imaging to simultaneously stimulate and image brain activity. Recently, the feasibility of interleaving TMS with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was demonstrated. This study tests this new method to det...

Combining Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and Electroencephaloraphy (EEG) offered insights into neural interaction during cognition which allows the investigation on the causal role of specific brain areas in behavior and the interactive connection between the brain areas. The TMS pulse in the TMS-EEG combining study introduces artifacts in the EEG electrodes which may mask the underlyi...

BACKGROUND Many recent studies have used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to study brain-behavior relationships. However, the pulse-to-pulse neural effects of rapid delivery of multiple TMS pulses are unknown largely because of TMS-evoked electrical artifacts limiting recording of brain activity.ObjectiveIn this study, TMS-related artifacts were removed with independent compo...

Abstract Empathic abilities have been suggested to involve automatic simulation processes including mirror-like mechanisms in the somatosensory domain, within so-called tactile mirror system (TaMS). In TaMS, observation of a touch on one else's body activates same cortical network involved perception, comprising primary cortex (S1). As empathic appear be altered patients with borderline persona...

LDV FORUM – Band 21(1) – 2006 Abstract Th is article presents UniTerm, a typical representative of terminology management systems (TMS). Th e fi rst part will highlight common characteristics of TMS and give further insight into the UniTerm entry format and database design. Practise has shown that automatic, i.e. blind exchange of terminologies is diffi cult to achieve. Th e second section give...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) evolved from a simple method to stimulate the motor cortex to an invaluable tool for multiple diagnostic, research, and therapeutic applications. A further development of this noninvasive brain stimulation technique is concomitant electroencephalographic (EEG) recording during TMS. The theoretical underpinnings and the technological innovation of TMS-EEG ...

Nowadays, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used to treat major depression and migraine. Integrating transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalogram (TMS EEG) may provide beneficial information. This paper introduces the experimental design, experimental setup and experimental procedures to differentiate the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and witho...
