Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that allows the modulation of the excitability and plasticity of the human brain. Focalized tDCS setups use specific electrode arrangements to constrain the current flow to circumscribed brain regions. However, the effectiveness of focalized tDCS can be compromised by electrode positioning errors on the scalp, resulting in significant reductions of the current dose reaching the target brain regions for tDCS.

- Coronary functional disorders (CFD) significantly contribute to angina in patients with non-obstructed coronary arteries (ANOCA), with different endotypes identified, such as microvascular spasm and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD).
- A study involving 89 ANOCA patients using comprehensive coronary functional testing (CFT) found that 91% had at least one disorder, with microvascular spasm being the most common (61%).
- The results highlighted that isolated CMD is rare and emphasized the necessity of spasm testing for diagnosing and characterizing CFD in ANOCA patients.
Article Synopsis
- * The research involved 372 patients with angina but non-obstructive coronary arteries, comparing results from those who received RASP vs. those who did not during ACh provocation testing.
- * Findings indicated that RASP did not significantly change the frequency or type of coronary vasomotor responses when tested with ACh, meaning it can be safely used in patients undergoing spasm testing.
Background: The 12-gene Oncotype DX Colon Recurrence Score® result quantifies the recurrence risk in stage II/III colon cancer (CC). This real-world study investigated stage II CC patients whose treatment decisions incorporated the Recurrence Score® (RS) result.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective analysis of a prospectively designed cohort included all stage II, mismatch repair-proficient CC patients who underwent 12-gene testing through Clalit between January 2011 and December 2016 and had available data with a minimum 3-year follow-up.
Bacteria often thrive in surface-attached communities, where they can form biofilms affording them multiple advantages. In this sessile form, fluid flow is a key component of their environments, renewing nutrients and transporting metabolic products and signaling molecules. It also controls colonization patterns and growth rates on surfaces, through bacteria transport, attachment and detachment.
