TL;DR: Normalizations of left ventricular mass for height or body surface area introduce artifactual relations of indexed ventricularmass to body size and errors in estimating the impact of overweight, which are avoided and variability among normal subjects is reduced.

TL;DR: In this article, the classical primary somatosensory cortex of monkeys consists of as many as four separate body representations rather than just one, and two complete body surface representations occupy cortical fields 3b and 1.
Abstract: Microelectrode mapping experiments indicate that the classical primary somatosensory cortex of monkeys consists of as many as four separate body representations rather than just one. Two complete body surface representations occupy cortical fields 3b and 1. In addition, area 2 contains an orderly representation of predominantly "deep" body tissues. Area 3a may constitute a fourth representation.

TL;DR: A wide range of neuropsychological, neuroimaging and neurophysiological data is reviewed to explore the dissociation between these different aspects of higher somatosensory function.

TL;DR: It is proposed that a network of multisensory and homeostatic brain areas may be responsible for maintaining a 'body-matrix', a dynamic neural representation that not only extends beyond the body surface to integrate both somatotopic and peripersonal sensory data, but also integrates body-centred spatial sensory data.

TL;DR: In this article, a cushion for pressing an element of grafted skin against the body surface is described, where the portion to be applied to the body has a window or opening the dimensions of which approximately equal that of the graft.
Abstract: A cushion for pressing an element of grafted skin against the body surface, wherein the portion (2) to be applied to the body has a window or opening (4) the dimensions of which approximately equal that of the graft. The edges (6) of the window (4) are attached to the skin so as to be impervious to air or liquids. The filling medium of the cushion (air or a liquid) is maintained under pressure.
