The Selective Rat Toxicant Norbormide Blocks KATP Channels in Smooth Muscle Cells But Not in Insulin-Secreting Cells

Norbormide is a toxicant selective for rats to which it induces a widespread vasoconstriction.In a recent paper, we hypothesized a role of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in norbormide-induced vasoconstriction.The current study was undertaken to verify this hypothesis by comparing the effects of norbormide with those of glibenclamide, a kno

Real-Time Switching Dynamics in STT-MRAM

In this paper a new experimental technique for measuring the switching dynamics and extracting the energy consumption of Spin Transfer Torque MRAM (STT-MRAM) device is presented.This technique is performed by a real-time current reading while a pulsed bias is applied.The switching from a high resistive state, anti-parallel (AP) alignment, to a low

Robotic Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for the Adjuvant Treatment of Early-Stage Breast Cancer: Outcomes of a Large Single-Institution Study

Purpose: Advancements in breast dermatom c3 radiation therapy offer innumerable benefits to patients and the health care system.Despite promising outcomes, clinicians remain hesitant about long-term side effects and disease control with accelerated partial breast radiation therapy (APBI).Herein, we review the long-term outcomes of patients with ear
