Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy with Generalized and Other Seizures in Adolescence

We owe a great debt to Dieter Janz (1,2) and also to Peter Wolf (3–5) for their effort in describing, dissecting, and defining the idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs), particularly those with onset during adolescence and adult life. Myoclonic epilepsy was of course clearly recognized by British and North American neurologists since Gowers (6), William Lennox (7,8), and Francis McNaughton, and the characteristic multiple spike-andwave EEG discharge of myoclonic epilepsy was identified early by the Jasper school of clinical neurophysiology. The pioneering work of Dieter Janz was, mainly for linguistic reasons and because of its unusual terminology, ignored by Anglophone neurology. The contribution of Escueta and Bacsal (9) in drawing attention to juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) was crucial in bringing the studies of Janz’s school to the attention of the North American neurological community. Janz, with his disciples and colleagues, identified several IGE syndromes that had characteristic onset within the adolescent age range: JME, juvenile absence epilepsy, and epilepsy with grand mal seizures on awakening. He was, of course, aware of the overlap between these forms, and this is clearly represented in his wellknown schematic diagrams. He based his classification on criteria that took into account historic, clinical, and electrographic aspects (10). In a critique published in the volume “Epileptic Syndromes and Seizures,” edited by Wolf, Janz (10) deplored the absence of a diagnosis of epilepsy on awakening in the several hundred patients with epilepsy studied by Manford et al. (11). He asked whether such patients would be evaluated and classified differently in the United States and England, and the answer is manifestly: yes. The classification of the epilepsies and of epileptic syndromes is an ongoing exercise driven by the need for uniform and universally acceptable criteria and definitions (12). The classification aims at improving our understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms, refining the results of treatment, and, in this era of great strides in molecular biology, clarifying the genetics of the epilepsies. It behooves us to reexamine the definitions and criteria for recognition of epileptic syndromes and, because of the question raised by Janz, it seems appropriate to begin by another look at epilepsy on awakening.
Compact circular polarized antenna for GPS and CNSS applications

A compact CP microstrip antenna for GPS and CNSS applications is presented. There are two pairs of slots on the patch, and an unequal cross-slot on the ground plane. Both the (−10dB return loss) input impedance bandwidth and the 3dB bandwidth of axial ratio are widened by introducing the unequal cross-slot, which can cover 1,57GHz and 2.62GHz. The size is 0. 27λ<inf>g</inf>×0. 27λ<inf>g</inf> for 1.57GHz.
The national statistics socio-economic classification: Unifying official and sociological approaches to the conceptualisation and measurement of social class in the United Kingdom : Enjeux et usages des catégories socioprofessionnelles en Europe

In this paper we describe the history of official and sociological approaches to social classifications in the UK, and how they came together in the UK Economic and Social Research Council Review of Government Social Classifications undertaken between 1994 and 2000. In doing so, we first review the strengths and weaknesses of the former official social classifications, Social Class based on Occupation (formerly Registrar General's Social Class) and Socio-economic Groups along with the alternative academic schemas and scales considered by the Review. Secondly, the conceptual basis and construction of the new classification, the National Statistics Socio-economic Classification (NS-SEC), is described in detail. Finally, the approach taken in the new classification is compared with other European national classifications in the context of the development of a harmonised socio-economic classification for the European Union

Effects of intrajejunal perfusion and chronic ingestion of Lactobacillus johnsonii strain La1 on serum concentrations and jejunal secretions of immunoglobulins and serum proteins in healthy humans.

OBJECTIVES Link-Amster reported an increase in serum IgA when healthy subjects ingested a fermented dairy product containing Lactobacillus johnsonii La1. We aimed to assess the effects of La1 on the jejunal secretions and serum concentrations of total and specific immunoglobulins and proteins. METHODS Twelve healthy volunteers ingested a fermented milk containing La1 or a control from day 1 till day 28, following a randomised double blind protocol. At days 0 and 28, the jejunum was successively perfused with a control solution and with a La1 suspension. The serum concentrations and jejunal secretions of albumin, orosomucoid, transferrin, alpha 2-macroglobulin, m-IgA, p-IgA, IgG, IgM, secretory component, and specific antibodies against La1 were assessed. RESULTS Serum concentrations of IgA slightly increased between d0 and d28 in the group receiving La1 (1.85 +/- 0.64 g/L vs 1.76 +/- 0.76; P = 0.02). The other parameters were not altered. CONCLUSION This study shows that the immunomodulating effects of La1 ingestion in man are not due to modification of jejunal protein permeability.
Academic technology confidence levels vs ability in first-year traditional and non-traditional undergraduates

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the technology confidence, skills, and post-skills-test emotions in traditional (younger than 24 years old) and non-traditional (24 and older) first-year college students at three undergraduate campuses in the Northeastern USA. Design/methodology/approach Totally, 39 college freshmen from three college campuses were recruited for the study. An online test environment and screen recording software were used to measure student proficiency in using PDFs, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, Gmail, and Windows. Data were collected in September 2013. Findings The majority of the students struggled with at least one facet of academic software. Traditional students were more confident than non-traditional students in their technology skills, but they did not score any higher on the skills test. Students who placed at the high end and low end of the test results curve most accurately assessed their technology skills, and their post-test feelings were the most appropriate in light of their test results. A large percentage of the traditional aged students were overconfident about their skills and self-identified as “happy” or “wonderful” even after performing poorly on the test. Originality/value Having concrete data about student technology skills, rather than anecdotal data from Reference Desk interactions, can help librarians design improved instruction and tutorials that target areas of student technology weakness. In addition, there have been no studies that examine student immediate emotional response to test performance in this type of testing environment.
Local transfer of 133Xenon from the uterine horn to the ipsilateral ovary in the mouse, hamster and guinea-pig.

In the male, a countercurrent mechanism between vena and arteria spermatica interna seems well documented. The exchange has been described for heat (Waites, 1970), inert gases (Einer-Jensen, 1974a) and for testosterone (see Setchell, 1973; Einer-Jensen, 1974b). In the female, much less evidence exists for a similar exchange between the cranial uterine and ovarian blood vessels, although the vessels are close together in many species including sheep, horses, cattle, pigs, rats, rabbits and guineapigs (see Goding & co-authors, 1972). So far, a local exchange has only been described with 133xenon in sheep (Coudert, Phillips, Faiman, Chernecki & Palmer, 1974a) and with prostaglandin F2\g=a\in sheep (McCracken, Baird & Goding, 1971; McCracken & co-authors, 1972) and cattle (Hixon & Hansel, 1974). Using a method similar to the one indicating recirculation of the inert gases, 133xenon and 85krypton, in the male countercurrent system (Einer-Jensen, 1974a), the present experiment was performed to investigate whether 133xenon injected into the lumen of one uterine horn could be found in a higher concen¬ tration in the ipsilateral ovary than in the contralateral ovary. Groups of four to eight adult mice, rats, rabbits, hamsters or guinea-pigs were used (Table 1 ). Of the seventy-nine animals used, twenty rats were at Day 2 of pregnancy which was initiated by caging single oestrous females overnight with two males. If spermatozoa were observed in the vaginal smear the following morning, the day was regarded as Day 1 of pregnancy. The rats, hamsters and guinea-pigs were anaesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of 25 to 30 mg Nembutal/kg; mice were given 50 mg/kg. Rabbits were anaesthet¬ ized by giving a slow intravenous infusion of Nembutal until anaesthesia was obtained (20 to 30 mg/kg). The abdomen was opened and 0-01 to 0-1 ml 133xenon-saline (0-5 to 2 mCi/ml, New England Nuclear) was injected through the wall into the lumen of the left uterine horn through a 26-gauge needle. After the injection, the abdominal wall was temporarily closed with wound clips. In fifteen rats and five hamsters, both tubes were ligated close to the uterotubal junction with 5-0 silk before injection. In six mice and five hamsters, the oviducts were ligated 1 week before the injection. The abdominal wall was reopened 1, 5 or 30 min after the injection, and the
Facial muscle anatomy based approach for forensic facial reconstruction in Sri Lanka

Forensic facial reconstruction is still at its infancy in Sri Lanka and is yet to utilize the advanced technologies of other countries. Hence introducing a more efficient multimedia based technique to the local forensic officials in order to improve the efficiency and the accuracy of the reconstructions is the aim of this study. In contrast to the other mechanisms used for facial reconstruction by others, this paper adopts a novel approach of muscle based facial reconstruction which goes hand in hand with the manual reconstruction process. The adopted process involved, acquiring a 3D model of the skull and digitally sculpting muscles in a 3D environment, followed by adding different facial features to improve identification. The research also encompassed a tissue thickness analysis that is conducted for the first time on Sri Lankans as well as a facial component analysis, both of which were needed to improve the accuracy of the final output. This procedure was attempted on cases of the age category 20-30 and of medium weight. The outputs and the process were evaluated with different parties such as general public, forensic officials, lawyers and CID all of which are to be benefited from this application. The ultimate goal of conducting the study was to understand and overcome the challenges faced in developing this novel application for the Sri Lankan Forensic officials and to establish the first unit for facial reconstruction in Sri Lanka.
Pragmatic OAM with polarization multiplexing transmission for future 5G ultra-high capacity radio

A new orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode and polarization multiplexing transmission system in the millimeter-wave range is proposed for future Ultra high capacity backhaul/fronthaul radio. Our theoretical analysis reveals that all the OAM modes can be used with polarization transmission while maintaining high degree of orthogonality. Furthermore, we show that links in the order of 100m can be achieved using the OAM lower-order modes in the millimeter-wave bands. A combination of an antenna array and a Butler matrix can encode and decode multiple OAM modes. We achieved 7-m transmission with two-modes multiplexing with a prototype of our system at 5.2 GHz. This translates to over 100m when applied to the mmwave bands. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical analysis, and are verifies our estimation of available link distance.
Sub-Saharan Genetic Contribution in Morocco: Microsatellite DNA Analysis

Northwest African populations occupy a strategic geographical area that has always been a zone of influence for diverse human groups from different regions. This article focuses on the analysis of the genetic contribution of sub-Saharan African populations by means of four short tandem repeat (STR) systems (HUMTPOX, HUMVWA31/A, HUMTH01, and HUMF13B), which have proven informative in establishing genetic relationships between human populations. Genetic trees and multivariate analyses of European and Near Eastern populations show that the Moroccan population shares a common genetic substrate with all of them. However, the latter defines a specific lineage. Evolutionary factors inherent in the population's geographical isolation in early times, together with genetic flow from sub-Saharan populations (mainly as reflected by HUMF13B and HUMTPOX), appear to be particularly relevant in understanding the peculiarities of the genetic character of the present-day population.
Fair Personalization

Personalization is pervasive in the online space as, when combined with learning, it leads to higher efficiency and revenue by allowing the most relevant content to be served to each user. However, recent studies suggest that such personalization can propagate societal or systemic biases, which has led to calls for regulatory mechanisms and algorithms to combat inequality. Here we propose a rigorous algorithmic framework that allows for the possibility to control biased or discriminatory personalization with respect to sensitive attributes of users without losing all of the benefits of personalization.
Hepatitis C virus persistence in human hematopoietic cells injected into SCID mice

The issue of infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) has potentially important implications, but is still debated. We have used the severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mouse model to test for the persistence of HCV in PBMC. Hematopoietic cells isolated from 14 subjects infected by HCV were inoculated intraperitoneally into SCID mice. Serum and blood cell samples from these mice were obtained with a mean follow‐up of 8 weeks. As controls, human fibroblasts and sheep PBMC, preincubated with a human HCV‐positive serum, were inoculated concomitantly into mice and analyzed. HCV‐RNA positive strands were detected in 7 of 26 serum samples and 8 of 26 cell fractions from SCID mice inoculated with HCV‐positive PBMC, after 8 weeks of follow‐up. In contrast, no HCV RNA was detectable in the 10 control mice. HCV‐RNA negative strands were detected in only 2 of 10 tested samples from 2 mice, and both positive mice had been inoculated with PBMC from HCV‐positive subjects with malignant hematopoietic syndrome. Our study offers strong evidence for the persistence of HCV infection in mononuclear cells. Our results are also consistent with a low rate of HCV multiplication. This SCID mouse model might therefore be useful in analyzing the mechanisms of HCV persistence in mononuclear cells.
Humoral immune response to the bovine immunodeficiency-like virus in experimentally and naturally infected cattle

Calves inoculated with bovine immunodeficiency-like virus (BIV) produced virus-specific antibodies that could be detected from 2 weeks to 2.5 years postinoculation by using both indirect fluorescent-antibody and Western immunoblot assays. Antibodies were primarily to p26. Virus and BIV-specific antibodies were isolated from calves given BIV-infected blood. Antibodies to BIV proteins were found in sera from naturally infected cattle.
CTP:Phosphocholine Cytidylyltransferase α Is Required for B-cell Proliferation and Class Switch Recombination*

CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) is a key rate-controlling enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway leading to the principle membrane phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine. CCTα is the predominant isoform expressed in mammalian cells. To investigate the role of CCTα in the development and function of B-lymphocytes, mice with B-lymphocytes that selectively lacked CCTα were derived using the CD19-driven Cre/loxP system. When challenged with a T-cell-dependent antigen, the animals harboring CCTα-deficient B-cells exhibited a hyper-IgM secretion phenotype coupled with a lack of IgG production. The inability of CCTα-/- B-cells to undergo class switch recombination correlated with a proliferation defect in vivo and in vitro in response to antigenic and mitogenic stimuli. Lipopolysaccharide stimulation of CCTα-/- B-cells resulted in an early trigger of the unfolded protein response-mediated splicing of Xbp-1 mRNA, and this was accompanied by accelerated kinetics of IgM secretion and higher incidence of IgM-secreting cells. Thus, the inability of stimulated B-cells to produce enough phosphatidylcholine prevents proliferation and class switch recombination but leads to unfolded protein response activation and a hyper-IgM secretion phenotype.
[Are preoperative examinations useful in the management of patients with renal hyperparathyroidism?].

AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the efficiency of preoperative parathyroid ultrasonography and scintigraphy in the management of renal hyperparathyroidism. PATIENTS AND METHODS The charts of the last consecutive 200 patients who underwent surgery for renal hyperparathyroidism from 1998 to 2003 were retrospectively reviewed to collect data concerning parathyroid gland function, results of preoperative ultrasonography and scintigraphy, as well as modalities and results of surgical exploration. RESULTS Ultrasonography and scintigraphy sensibilities were 36.4% and 49.3%, respectively. Efficiency of both examinations was improved when they were combined (sensibility of 64.7%) and in those patients managed for recurrent hyperparathyroidism. Were more often detected by preoperative examinations glands with high weight and/or greatest diameter, orthotopic and inferior glands as well as glands exhibiting nodular hyperplasia content upon pathological examination. CONCLUSION Parathyroid ultrasonography and scintigraphy are of poor interest in the management of renal hyperparathyroidism. In a preoperative setting, they should be performed only in patients with recurrent disease.

This paper proposes a nonparametric Bayesian method for inducing Part-ofSpeech (POS) tags in dependency trees to improve the performance of statistical machine translation (SMT). In particular, we extend the monolingual infinite tree model (Finkel et al., 2007) to a bilingual scenario: each hidden state (POS tag) of a source-side dependency tree emits a source word together with its aligned target word, either jointly (joint model), or independently (independent model). Evaluations of Japanese-to-English translation on the NTCIR-9 data show that our induced Japanese POS tags for dependency trees improve the performance of a forestto-string SMT system. Our independent model gains over 1 point in BLEU by resolving the sparseness problem introduced in the joint model.
Drug resistance among influenza A viruses isolated in Italy from 2000 to 2005: are the emergence of Adamantane-resistant viruses cause of concern?

1The main option in reducing the impact of influenza is immunoprophylaxis with an inactivated vaccine, a preventive measure particularly recommended for groups with a high risk of complications. Antiviral drugs represent another therapeutic chance to reduce deaths, complications, duration of hospitalization and could play a role in prevention of the infection by chemio-prophylactic action and by reducing the viral shedding of the infected patient. Two classes of antiviral agents have been used to treat influenza, the M2 ion channel in

Inertial Response From Offshore Wind Farms Connected Through DC Grids

Inertial response from remote offshore wind farms (WFs) connected through point-to-point DC links relies on emulation of the onshore AC system frequency variation at each offshore wind turbine generator (WTG). This is not straightforward for a DC grid interconnecting WFs to multiple onshore AC systems. To address this problem, this paper builds up on a communication-less approach previously reported for provision of frequency services from offshore WFs connected through a DC grid. A weighted frequency scheme is adopted which relies on the fiber optic link embedded within the sub-sea cables for fast communication of onshore frequency variations up to the offshore converters. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is shown analytically and also through a case study on a 4-terminal DC grid interconnecting an offshore wind farm and two onshore AC systems.
Exact solution for superfluid film vortices on a torus.

The problem of describing the velocity field of quantized vortices on a torus is solved exactly by use of Riemann's bilinear relations of 1857. The solution is used to discuss the behavior of superfluids on porous media. The close connection between topology and quantization of circulation is emphasized as well as its implications for a successful theory of the experiments.
