Theta-alpha oscillations characterize emotional subregion in the human ventral subthalamic nucleus.

Background: Therapeutic outcomes of STN-DBS for movement and psychiatric disorders depend on electrode location within the STN. Electrophysiological and functional mapping of the STN has progressed considerably in the past years, identifying beta-band oscillatory activity in the dorsal STN as a motor biomarker. It also has been suggested that STN theta-alpha oscillations, involved in impulse control and action inhibition, have a ventral source.

Mass in the head of the pancreas in cholestatic jaundice: carcinoma or pancreatitis?

The clinical, biochemical and radiological findings in 16 patients with carcinoma of the head of the pancreas were compared with that of 13 with cholestatic jaundice due to chronic pancreatitis. Patients presenting with malignancy had more severe hyperbilirubinemia (18.5 +/- 2.
