Scientists Improve Human Self-control through Electrical Brain Stimulation

If you have ever said or done the wrong thing at the wrong time, you should read this. Neuroscientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the University of California, San Diego, have successfully demonstrated a technique to enhance a form of self-control through a novel form of brain stimulation.

Q&A: Risk Factors for Nocardiosis Infection

Nocardia was first identified by Nocard in 1888 in bovine farcy. The first human disease was described by Eppinger in 1890. Nocardia is a gram-positive, branching, filamentous, weakly acid-fast bacterium. These organisms are not part of normal flora and are very rarely laboratory contaminants. Pathogenic Nocardia are members of the family Nocardiaceae, the aerobic Actinomycetes. Nocardia asteroides is the principal cause of nocardiosis in the United States (responsible for 80% of human infection). Nocardia is ubiquitous in the soil and decaying vegetables and is found worldwide.

Q&A: Guideline Management of Ring-Enhancing Lesions in Immunocompromised Host

The differentials for peripheral or ring enhancing cerebral lesions includes cerebral abscess, tuberculoma, neurocysticercosis, metastasis, glioblastoma, subacute infarct/haemorrhage/contusion, demyelination (incomplete ring), tumefactive demyelinating lesion (incomplete ring), radiation necrosis, postoperative change, lymphoma - in an immunocompromised patient, leukaemia, thrombosed aneurysm, and necrotising leukoencephalopathy after methotrexate.

Q&A: Ring Enhancing Brain Lesions in Immunocompromised Individuals

How to Loose Weight without Dieting

Indeed you can loose that excess weight without any special dieting. Established strategies start with conscious commitment and steady focus on the goal of weight loss, taking a lot of mental and physical energy.

Q&A: Ring Enhancing Brain Lesions in Immunocompetent Individuals

The differentials for peripheral or ring enhancing cerebral lesions includes cerebral abscess, tuberculoma, neurocysticercosis, metastasis, glioblastoma, subacute infarct/haemorrhage/contusion, demyelination (incomplete ring), tumefactive demyelinating lesion (incomplete ring), radiation necrosis, postoperative change, lymphoma - in an immunocompromised patient, leukaemia, thrombosed aneurysm, and necrotising leukoencephalopathy after methotrexate.

Q&A: Drugs Causing Arrhythmia As Side Effects

An arrhythmia is any rhythm that is not normal sinus rhythm with normal atrioventricular (AV) conduction. Normal sinus rhythm originates from the sinus node in the upper portion of the right atrium. During sinus rhythm, the heart rate is in the normal range, the P waves are normal on the electrocardiogram (ECG), and the rate is stable.
