The non-transcranial TMS-evoked potential is an inherent source of ambiguity in TMS-EEG studies.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) excites populations of neurons in the stimulated cortex, and the resulting activation may spread to connected brain regions. The distributed cortical response can be recorded with electroencephalography (EEG). Since TMS also stimulates peripheral sensory and motor axons and generates a loud "click" sound, the TMS-evoked EEG potentials (TEPs) reflect not only neural activity induced by transcranial neuronal excitation but also neural activity due to somatosensory and auditory processing.

Alterations in the brain's connectome during recovery from severe traumatic brain injury: protocol for a longitudinal prospective study.

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered one of the most pervasive causes of disability in people under the age of 45. TBI often results in disorders of consciousness, and clinical assessment of the state of consciousness in these patients is challenging due to the lack of behavioural responsiveness. Functional neuroimaging offers a means to assess these patients without the need for behavioural signs, indicating that brain connectivity plays a major role in consciousness emergence and maintenance.

[Expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors and HER-2 by breast cancer cells].

Breast cell carcinomas removed from 62 women aged from 33 to 74 years were studied immunohistochemically. 24 tumours were of T1N0M0, 5-T1N1M0, 20-T2N0M0, 11-T2N1M0 and 2-T2N0M0. Invasive ductal carcinoma occurred in 59.

[Roentgeno-anatomical study of inguinal, pelvic and lumbar lymph nodes].

Clinical anatomy of the inguinal, pelvic and lumbar lymph nodes was studied in 89 autopsies on adult males. The data on the life-time lymphographic and post mortem examination of the lymph nodes were compared. It was demonstrated that the retroperitoneal lymph nodes in an adult male include 4-20 right-side, 8-16 left-side external and common iliac, 3-13 right-side lumbar, 3-29 left-side and 0-8 intermediate lumbar nodes.
