Objectives : The goal of this study was to compare the rate of cerebral microembolization
during carotid artery stenting (CAS) with proximal versus distal cerebral protection in patients …

We applied independent species concepts to clarify the phylogeographic structure of the
ascidian Ciona intestinalis, a powerful model system in chordate biology and for comparative …

The role of hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-modulated (HCN) channel
isoforms and hyperpolarization-activated cation current (I h ) for seizure-related burst firing in …

Predicting responses of plankton to variations in essential nutrients is hampered by limited
in situ measurements, a poor understanding of community composition, and the lack of …

BACKGROUND: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been investigated in several conditions
apart from cryptogenic ischemic stroke. Contrast transesophageal echocardiography (cTEE) is …

Aim Plankton diversity is a pivotal element of marine ecosystem stability and functioning. A
major obstacle in the assessment of diversity is the lack of consistency between patterns …

The persistent, slowly inactivating fraction of the sodium current is involved in key functions
in the CNS such as dendritic integration of synaptic inputs and cellular excitability. We have …

Developing sensitive and reliable methods to distinguish normal and abnormal brain states
is a key neuroscientific challenge. Topological Data Analysis, despite its relative novelty, …

Objectives The aim of this study was to randomly compare the double-layer Roadsaver stent
(RS) (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) with the single-layer Carotid Wallstent (CW) (Boston Scientific, …

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated cation (HCN) channels represent the
molecular substrate of the hyperpolarization-activated inward current (I h ). Although these …
