Methods We examined the effect of octreotide, midodrine, and albumin on survival (censored
for liver transplantation) and renal function in patients with HRS type 1 and type 2, …

Experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that both global dendritic branching topology
and fine spine geometry are crucial determinants of neuronal function, its plasticity and …

A distinct subpopulation of neurons forming long corticocortical projections in the association
neocortex is highly vulnerable to the degenerative process in Alzheimer’s disease. …

Recent studies indicate that the cognitive processes mediated by the prefrontal cortex, such
as working memory, are impaired during normal aging. These disturbances in cortical …

Low-frequency membrane potential (V m ) oscillations were once thought to only occur in
sleeping and anesthetized states. Recently, low-frequency V m oscillations have been …

Background A pilot study was performed investigating the possibility that positron emission
tomography (PET) activity using 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) with nearly simultaneous …

Effective task execution requires the representation of multiple task-related variables that
determine how stimuli lead to correct responses. Even the primary visual cortex (V1) represents …

Left ventricular (LV) remodelling following myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with
increased morbidity and mortality. Previous data suggest that angiotensin II (Ang II) plays a …

Hepatic angiosarcoma (HA) accounts for 2% of primary liver tumors. Though rare, it is
exceptionally deadly. The initial presentation of HA is nonspecific and no tumor markers have …

BACKGROUND: Isolated case reports describe bowel ischemia in cocaine users, and the
optimal management of these patients remains uncertain. DESIGN: Case-control study. …
