Prediction of future rewards and discrepancy between actual and expected outcomes (prediction error) are crucial signals for adaptive behavior.In humans, a number of fMRI studies demonstrated that reward probability modulates these two signals in a large brain network.Yet, the spatio-temporal dynamics underlying the neural coding of reward probabil
Use of cystatin C and serum creatinine for the diagnosis of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing contrast-enhanced computed tomography at an oncology centre.
ObjectiveOur aim was to assess renal function using as laboratory measurements serum creatinine and cystatin C concentrations before and after administration of low-osmolarity (nonionic) iodinated contrast medium in patients with cancer undergoing computed tomography (CT).MethodsThis prospective study included 400 oncologic outpatients.Serum creati
Effect of hydrogen on the passivation for ultra-thin 316 L SS foil
Abstract The reformation and characterisation of the passive film formed on ultra-thin 316 L after hydrogen charging is investigated by combining EBSD, TMDS, XRD, Synchrotron-based XPS, and electrochemical experiments.The Lunch Bag results show that ultra-thin foil reforms a passive film after 12 h of hydrogen release in NaCl solution.The reformed
