Abstract
We recorded single-unit activity and local field potential from three MTL areas (hippocampus and entorhinal and perirhinal cortex) and visual area TE as monkeys performed a temporal-order memory task. Hippocampus provided incremental timing signals from one item presentation to the next, whereas per...

Abstract
Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) impacts on children's executive functions, but little is known of how such deficits evolve in the long term. Forty adolescents with TBI were assessed ten years post-injury and compared to 19 typically developing participants on a range of execut...

Abstract
We demonstrate that a pure, actively growing culture of a marine sulfate-reducing bacterium can deplete (34)S by up to 66‰ during sulfate reduction alone and in the absence of an extracellular oxidative sulfur cycle. Therefore, similar magnitudes of sulfur isotope fractionation in sedimentary rock...

Abstract
The 30-day mortality rate was 1.9%. During follow-up (mean 25 months, range 1-94), 34 secondary procedures were performed in 28 (26.2%) patients for 6 (17.6%) limb graft stenoses/thromboses (5.6% of 107 cases), 8 (23.5%) in-stent visceral vessel stenoses/occlusions (7.5% of 107 cases), 8 (23.5%) mi...

Abstract
Despite longer hospital stay and time to resumption of normal activities, more women were satisfied after hysterectomy than after EA. The few data available suggest that Mirena is potentially cheaper and more effective than first-generation ablation techniques, with rates of satisfaction that are si...
