Objectives: The goal of this study was to compare the rate of cerebral microembolization
during carotid artery stenting (CAS) with proximal versus distal cerebral protection in …

We applied independent species concepts to clarify the phylogeographic structure of the
ascidian Ciona intestinalis, a powerful model system in chordate biology and for …

Objectives: To investigate the role of transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale on the
occurrence of migraine. Background: In recent years, a potential relationship between …

Recent progress in applying meta-omics approaches to the study of marine ecosystems
potentially allows scientists to study the genetic and functional diversity of plankton at an …

The role of hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-modulated (HCN) channel
isoforms and hyperpolarization-activated cation current (I h) for seizure-related burst firing in …

Predicting responses of plankton to variations in essential nutrients is hampered by limited
in situ measurements, a poor understanding of community composition, and the lack of …

Plankton drive marine food webs and global biogeochemical cycles and are among the
most challenging complex systems to model. Systems ecology studies on plankton might …

BACKGROUND: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been investigated in several conditions
apart from cryptogenic ischemic stroke. Contrast transesophageal echocardiography (cTEE) …

Aim Plankton diversity is a pivotal element of marine ecosystem stability and functioning. A
major obstacle in the assessment of diversity is the lack of consistency between patterns …

The persistent, slowly inactivating fraction of the sodium current is involved in key functions
in the CNS such as dendritic integration of synaptic inputs and cellular excitability. We have …
