Successful hemostatic radiotherapy for massive airway bleeding from infectious pulmonary cavity: a case report.

We present a patient with life-threatening airway bleeding from an infectious pulmonary cavity with limited treatment options. Bronchial artery embolization was unsuccessful. Surgery was not feasible due to compromised lung function.

Distinct interacting cortical networks for stimulus-response and repetition-suppression.

Non-invasive studies consider the initial neural stimulus response (SR) and repetition suppression (RS) - the decreased response to repeated sensory stimuli - as engaging the same neurons. That is, RS is a suppression of the SR. We challenge this conjecture using electrocorticographic (ECoG) recordings with high spatial resolution in ten patients listening to task-irrelevant trains of auditory stimuli.

[A glimpse into the future: smart technologies and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS)].

Smart technologies facilitate our daily life in many respects, e.g. by rendering travel safer.

Time-Multiplexed Illumination for simultaneous Structural and Functional Voltage Sensitive Dye Recordings with a single Photo Sensor.

The in-vivo optical imaging of the cortical surface provides the ability to record different types of biophysiological signals, e.g., structural information, intrinsic signals, like blood oxygenation coupled reflection changes as well as extrinsic properties of voltage sensitive probes, like fluorescent voltage-sensitive dyes.

PGE EP receptor inhibits vasopressin-dependent water reabsorption and sodium transport in mouse collecting duct.

PGE2 regulates glomerular hemodynamics, renin secretion, and tubular transport. This study examined the contribution of PGE2 EP1 receptors to sodium and water homeostasis. Male EP1-/- mice were bred with hypertensive TTRhRen mice (Htn) to evaluate blood pressure and kidney function at 8 weeks of age in four groups: wildtype (WT), EP1-/-, Htn, HtnEP1-/-.

Response Priming with More or Less Biological Movements as Primes.

Response priming in general is a suitable tool in cognitive psychology to investigate motor preactivations. Typically, compatibility effects reflect faster reactions in cases in which prime and target suggest the same response (i.e.

PGE2 receptor EP3 inhibits water reabsorption and contributes to polyuria and kidney injury in a streptozotocin-induced mouse model of diabetes.

Aims/hypothesis: The first clinical manifestation of diabetes is polyuria. The prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP3 antagonises arginine vasopressin (AVP)-mediated water reabsorption and its expression is increased in the diabetic kidney. The purpose of this work was to study the contribution of EP3 to diabetic polyuria and renal injury.

Detailed molecular analysis of the induction of the L-PK gene by glucose.

Glucose has powerful effects on gene expression and participates in the fasted-to-fed transition of the liver. However, the molecular mechanism of glucose-regulated gene expression has not been completely described. In the present study, we performed a detailed analysis of the molecular events of the insulin-independent glucose response of the liver-type pyruvate kinase (L-PK) gene.
