The Second Edition of Atlas of EEG Patterns sharpens readers'interpretation skills with an even larger array of both normal and abnormal EEG pattern figures and text designed to optimize recognition of telltale findings. Trainees will benefit from hundreds of EEG figures, helping them spot abnormalities and identify the pattern name. Experienced neurologists will find the book excellent as a quick reference and when trying to distinguish a finding from similarly appearing patterns. Organized by EEG pattern, the Atlas orients you to the basics of EEG, helps the reader identify the characteristic EEG wave features and leads you to the EEG diagnosis through a table that organizes all of the EEG patterns according to their wave features. The Atlas includes the full range of EEG patterns from the common rhythms to the rare findings, and it also includes numerous examples of artifacts.","publication_date":"2013-01-01","upload_link":"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/doi:10.1210\/mend-5-4-514","no_of_pages":"","authored_by":"John M.

We and others have previously reported that transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF alpha) expression is hormonally responsive and its expression is coregulated with that of its receptor [the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor]. The 5'-flanking region of the TGF alpha gene was characterized to determine whether it could confer hormone responsiveness to a reporter gene (luciferase) in human mammary carcinoma cells (MDA468). This segment of the gene is GC rich and contains an element strikingly similar to the core element of the EGF receptor gene that has been shown to mediate both basal and hormone-stimulated expression of the EGF receptor. We now report that a 313-basepair (bp) proximal element of the TGF alpha 5'-flanking region (-373 to -59 relative to the TGF alpha translation start codon) is capable of conferring responses to phorbol ester and EGF. This gene segment does not contain the EGF receptor gene homolog or potential AP-2-binding sites, suggesting that these elements are not necessary for basal and EGF- or phorbol ester-responsive TGF alpha gene expression. This 313-bp proximal element also confers proper transcriptional initiation to the chimeric TGF alpha-luciferase reporter construct, indicating it is the TGF alpha promoter. A 1.1-kilobase segment of the TGF alpha 5'-flanking region also confers retinoic acid, thyroid hormone, and glucocorticoid responsiveness despite the absence of recognizable steroid hormone receptor-binding sites. These hormones stimulate reporter expression 1.5- to 2-fold in a dose-dependent manner. Extension of the 5'-flanking region to -3500 results in marked suppression of reporter gene expression. These results indicate that the TGF alpha gene 5'-flanking sequence contains the elements responsible for hormonal responsiveness of this gene and that these elements are distinct from those that regulate the expression of the EGF receptor gene.
