Somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) are used in humans and animals to increase knowledge about nociception and pain. Since the SEP in humans increases when noxious stimuli are administered unpredictably, predictability potentially influences the SEP in animals as well. To assess the effect of predictability on the SEP in animals, classical fear conditioning was applied to compare SEPs betwee...

SEPALLATA (SEP) genes form an integral part of models that outline the molecular basis of floral organ determination and are hypothesized to act as co-factors with ABCD floral homeotic genes in specifying different floral whorls. The four SEP genes in Arabidopsis function redundantly, but the extent to which SEP genes in other flowering plants function similarly is unknown. Using a recent 113-g...

The ocular surface is always attacked by oxidative stress, and cornea epithelial cells are supposed to have their own recovery system against oxidative stress. Therefore we hypothesized that tears supply key molecules for preventing oxidative stress in cornea. The potential target key molecule we focused is selenoprotein P (SeP). SeP is a carrier of selenium, which is an essential trace element...

INTRODUCTION Evaluation of the extent of socioeconomic inequalities in cancer incidence and mortality is essential to generate hypotheses in population health research and provides evidence for population-based strategies for comprehensive cancer control. The objective of this study was to create an area-based socioeconomic position (SEP) index to assess possible socioeconomic disparities in in...

BACKGROUND It is unclear when in the life course do social inequalities in inflammation emerge. We examined whether the association between socioeconomic position (SEP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) is determined at conception, in childhood, adolescence or adulthood in 1484 participants from the population-based Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study. METHODS Five variants of the CRP gene we...

Evidence for the presence of serine and ethanolamine in SEP isolated from earthworms was presented previously (Rosenberg & Ennor, 1959). The present isolation of SEP in amounts sufficient to permit crystallization and chemical and physical analysis has also permitted comparison with D-SEP obtained by synthetic routes involving the use of D-serine. The results leave no doubt about the structure ...

Spinal SEP; N13; Cervical Radiculopathy Abstract Introduction: Most studies on somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) in cases of cervical radiculopathy routinely analyze scalp (cortical) responses (mixed or dermatomal SEPs), depending mainly on evaluation of N20 whose origin is the primary somatosensory cortex. It was suggested that selective study of the N13 potential, might be a useful techn...

~urol Neurosurg 1ge: clinical and complications, but the monitoring methods must be simple to perform, sensitive, and reliable. Median nerve somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) monitoring fulfills these criteria. Between 1985 nd 1990, we performed 994 h S. Successful operations of the carotid artery with SEP monitoring. In 92% of the cases, we were able t obtain viable SEP tracings. 3.. Case r...
