“With a multiple case report analysis we demonstrate that hypersexuality more often results from right hemisphere (RH) (n = 26) than left hemisphere (LH) (n = 7) lesions, possibly because of LH release after the RH lesion, and that ictal orgasm

more often occurs in patients with right-sided (n = 23) than left-sided (n = 8) seizure foci, with the symptom probably resulting from RH activation. The LH may be specialized for increasing sexual tension, whereas the RH may be specialized for release of this tension (orgasm), the former being catabolic and the latter anabolic. Several other interpretations of the findings are also discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.”
“We report the preparation of low gate leakage current organic field effect transistors in vertical architecture using polyvinyl alcohol as gate insulator and C(60) fullerene selleckchem as n-type semiconductor in devices with gate, source, and drain Galardin manufacturer electrodes of Al. Intermediate electrode and top electrode operate, respectively, as source and drain, or vice-versa, depending on polarity. In these devices the intermediate electrode (source or drain) is permeable to the electric field produced by the gate so that increased drain current is obtained at either increasingly negative gate voltage when

the source is the intermediate electrode or increasingly positive gate voltage when the drain is the intermediate electrode. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3660406]“
“The study examined occurrence of bacterial pathogens associated with neonatal sepsis in a

hospital setting. A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out on neonates with sepsis who were admitted to the neonatal ward of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Stattic research buy Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria over a six-month period. One hundred samples for microbiological evaluation were collected from the neonates excluding those on prior antibiotic therapy. Microbiological examination and analysis of a variety of samples, processed according to standard procedures for isolation and identification of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotic sensitivity testing, was carried out on bacterial isolates. Among the 100 samples collected and processed, Staphylococcus aureus accounted for 28%, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas species 13% each, Proteus species 10%, other Enterobacteriaciae 9%, Neisseria gonorrhoea 8%, beta-haemolytic Streptococcus 5 and 14% showed no bacterial growth. Antibiotic sensitivity patterns of the bacterial isolates showed that most were sensitive to oxfloxacin. However, a significant number of them showed resistance to commonly used antibiotics such as ampicillin and penicillin. Bacterial pathogens in neonates with sepsis vary from Gram-positive bacteria, mostly S. aureus to Gram-negative bacilli, mainly Klebsiella and Pseudomonas species.
