Ability to anticipate aversive events is important for avoiding dangerous or unpleasant situations.The motivation to avoid an event is influenced by the incentive salience of an event-predicting cue.In an avoidance fMRI task we used tone intensities to manipulate salience in order to study the involvement of the orbitofrontal cortex in processing o
Diagnostic and therapeutic management of hydrothorax in peritoneal dialysis
Hydrothorax is a rare mechanical complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) which often results in discontinuation of the technique.According to studies, its incidence is estimated at 1.6 to 2%.In the majority of cases, its location is on the right.It is secondary to the passage of dialysate from the peritoneal cavity to the pleural space through a d
Severe gastrointestinal haemorrhage from an eroding jejuno-jejunal fistula
Children with complex needs often have limited communication which makes clinical assessment extremely difficult.They also require complex feeding regimes and are prone to chronic bowel dysfunction and dysmotility requiring frequent admissions to hospital.We present the case of an 11-year old boy with mosaic trisomy 13 and an end ileostomy (for gut
Inflammation drives wound hyperpigmentation in zebrafish by recruiting pigment cells to sites of tissue damage
SUMMARY In humans, skin is the largest organ and serves as a barrier between our body and the outside world.Skin protects our internal organs from Sofa external pathogens and other contaminants, and melanocytes within the skin protect the body from damage by ultraviolet light.These same pigment cells also determine our skin colour and complexion.Sk
