The aim of this study was to examine the collision responsible for the volitional V-wave evoked by supramaximal electrical stimulation of the motor nerve during voluntary contraction. V-wave was conditioned by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the motor cortex at several inter-stimuli intervals (ISI) during weak voluntary plantar flexions (n = 10) and at rest for flexor carpi radiali...

this paper reviews the essence of effective governance and importance of a multi-sectoral approach in generating health systems response to hiv/aids. this comprehensive approach highlights the importance of integrating reproductive sexual health programs and hiv prevention services, including peer education, life skills, and voluntary counseling and testing (vct), for prevention of mother–to-ch...

In an attempt to distinguish and define the altered cognitive processes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), we examine and try to dissociate the components of an effective voluntary saccade: (1) the planning and execution of a voluntary saccade; (2) the suppression of reflexive eye movements; and (3) the working memory processes required. We tested 14 PD patients (off their medications) a...

In conclusion, maintenance of volume homeostasis is a fundamental requirement of all cells. For many cell types, this process requires expression of ion cotransport mechanisms as well as accumulation of osmotically-active organic compounds. Recent observations have indicated that the cellular mechanisms responsible for modulating hypertonic volume regulation are complex and appear to involve ho...

Previous studies suggest that the blood pressure response to static contraction is greater than that caused by dynamic exercise. In anesthetized cats, however, pressor responses to electrically induced static and dynamic contraction of the same muscle group are similar during equivalent workloads and peak tension development [i.e., similar tension-time index (TTI)]. To determine if the same rel...

Human behavior is comprised of an interaction between intentionally driven actions and reactions to changes in the environment. Existing data are equivocal concerning the question of whether these two action systems are independent, involve different brain regions, or overlap. To address this question we investigated whether the degree to which the voluntary action system is activated at the ti...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in patients with macular epiretinal membrane (ERM) for the planning of surgical strategy. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred twenty-three eyes of 121 patients (49 men, 72 women; mean age, 66 years) with an idiopathic ERM were enrolled. All patients underwent an ophthalmic exa...
