The Radicalism of the Banality of Evil
Authors: Lederman Shmuel
Published: August 2019

The article reexamines Hannah Arendt’s shift from “radical evil” in The Origins of Totalitarianism to “the banality of evil” in Eichmann in Jerusalem and subsequent writings. At the heart of this shift stands Arendt’s realization that she exaggerated the role of ideology in motivating ordinary people to become mass murderers. Instead, political conformity—namely, self-adjustment to the ruling political order simply because it is the ruling order—becomes Arendt’s main explanation for the participation of “ordinary people” in the Nazi mass murder. This shift in Arendt’s interpretation is truly radical, and its implications require further consideration and investigation.

Background/Aims

We evaluated the efficacy of using virtual reality with specific games for vestibular rehabilitation to treat patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Methods

The Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale), Dizziness Handicap Inventory, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, Berg Balance Scale, Balancim, Romberg and Dix-Hallpike tests were used to evaluate 10 participants (5 males and 5 females; mean age 38.5 ± 14.7 years) with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, who played 3 specific games of Nintendo Wii console (Snowboard Slalom, Tightrope Walk, Rhythm Parade) for 10 minutes twice a week for 4 weeks.

Results

The intervention resulted in significant increases in Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale score (d de Cohen >0.50), decreases in Dizziness Handicap Inventory (P<0.05 in t test for all dimensions and total score) and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (P<0.05 in Wilcoxon test for all dimensions and total score), and improvement in balance shown on Romberg test, Berg Balance Scale (P<0.05 in t test for all dimensions and total score) and Balancim (d de Cohen >0.80).

Conclusions

Virtual reality with the selected games seemed to be effective on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo treatment, improving scores of tests and scales used in the assessment.
The evolution of patellofemoral prosthetic design in total knee arthroplasty: how far have we come?
Authors: Roussot Mark Anthony , Haddad Fares Sami
Published: August 2019

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has evolved into a successful, cost-effective treatment for end-stage knee arthrosis. The patellofemoral articulation in TKA has largely been ignored during its development despite being an important determinant of outcome. New technologies still need further development to incorporate the patella in TKA surgical planning and operative technique. Alternative approaches to alignment in TKA will have a secondary impact on patellofemoral mechanics and possibly future implant designs. Technologies that assist with precise implant positioning may alter our understanding and overall practice of TKA.

Ez az esettanulmány, amely egy vidéki nagyváros egyházi (református) fenntartású iskoláját írja le, a szegregáció/ integráció kérdését részletesen és árnyaltan tárgyalja. A Szamóca iskolában azonosítható intézményi és pedagógiai gyakorlatok azért érdekesek, mert távol esnek mind a szívtelenül szegregáló egyházi iskola egyre gyakrabban megjelenő rémképétől, mind a vizsgált iskola befogadáspárti önképétől. Távolról nézve a – mintegy 30%-nyi bejáró tanulót beiskolázó – intézmény klasszikus iskolán belüli szegregációt folytat, de történetileg (összevonás, fenntartóváltás hatásai), illetve közelebbről szemlélve, a szelekció és inklúzió sajátos gyakorlatainak komplex mintázataival találkozunk. A „felvételi” során a „roma” vs. „nem roma” fogalompár kettős átalakuláson megy át: első lépésben a tanítható/nehezen-tanítható diák, illetve érdeklődő/nem-érdeklődő szülő („fontos, hogy a szülők eljöjjenek a kapunyitogatóra”) ellentétpárra fordítják le, majd magának a kategóriába sorolásnak az aktusát is elleplező „angolos osztályba jelentkezett”/„nem angolos osztályba jelentkezett” szabad osztályválasztás elvnek adja át a helyét a pedagógiai diskurzusban; ezt a szülők is interiorizálják (pl.nem kifogásolják, hogy azért nem mehet a gyerekük angolos osztályba, mert nem járt óvodai angolra), a kivételek (esetlegesség) pedig legitimálják. Ugyanakkor (a) a gyerekhiány, (b) a fluktuáció, (c) az osztálytermi és korrepetálási pedagógiai gyakorlat, valamint (d) a keresztyén befogadásdiskurzus és konkrét inklúziós támogatás (iskolalelkész, KIP) működése mindezt árnyalja.
Releváns-e a humor a relevanciaelméletben?

Published: August 2019

A dolgozatban azt vizsgálom, hogy a relevanciaelmélet milyen értelmezését tudja adni a tisztán nyelvi és a nyelvi összetevőt is tartalmazó multimodális humorjelenségeknek. Mivel kognitív pragmatikai elmélet, amelyet nem a humor magyarázatára dolgoztak ki, hanem a kommunikációnak mint a valóság megismerésére irányuló információfeldolgozásnak az általános modelljeként, tisztázásra szorul, hogy fogalmi apparátusa és alaptézisei mennyiben alkalmasak a humor természetének megragadására. Dinamikus kontextusfelfogása és a következtetési műveletek középpontba állítása kifejezetten előnyös a humoros diskurzusok mélyreható magyarázatában. Kérdéses viszont, hogy mindent átfogó kommunikációs alapelve hogyan vonatkoztatható a humoros szándékú megnyilatkozásokra, amelyek jellemzően kijátsszák a relevanciakeresés heurisztikáját, miközben a humoros hatás szempontjából mégiscsak relevánsak. Ha a humorral nem is, a vele sűrűn összefonódó iróniával a relevanciaelmélet a kezdetektől foglalkozik, ezért ezt a fejezetét kritikus elemzésnek vetem alá. A nyelvi példákat többféle műfajból, illetőleg szövegtípusból merítem.
Transmuted extended Lomax distribution with some tractability properties and applications
Authors: Momenkhan Faten
Published: August 2019

Extending or generalizing original distributions create new distributions with some tractability properties and with more flexibility in modeling data. In this paper, the extended Lomax distribution introduced by Ghitany et al. [1] is further extended in a larger family by introducing an additional parameter. We provide a comprehensive description of the mathematical properties of the subject distribution along with its reliability behavior. The problem of the parameter estimation for the proposed distribution is considered based on the maximum likelihood approach. Finally, the usefulness of the transmuted distribution for modeling reliability data is illustrated using a simulation study and a real data set.
Dinamika Terjemah Al-Qur'an (Studi Perbandingan Terjemah Al-Qur'an Kemenerian Agama RI dan Muhammad Thalib)
Authors: Muhammad Muhammad
Published: August 2019

This paper compares two translations of the Qur’an: Al-Quran dan Terjemahnya by the team of the Ministry of Religious Affairs/MORA and Al-Quran Tarjamah Tafsiriyah by Muhammad Thalib. Scholars argue differently as to whether the Qur’an is translatable or not. Several classical and contemporary scholars argue that translating the Qur’an is forbidden (haram), while others allow it. Muhammad Thalib claims that Al-Quran dan Terjemahnya includes literal (harfiyah) translation, which is forbidden by scholars, and contains 3400 errors. On that basis, he composed Al-Quran Tarjamah Tafsiriyah as a correction of the former translation. I compare Al-Quran dan Terjemahnya’s translations of several verses on theological doctrine, syari’ah and mu’amalah, of which Thalib considers as containing errors, and those of Thalib’s translation himself to look for similarities and differences. The research shows that there is no significant difference between the two translations. The difference was limited to their respective method and purpose. MORA’s translation was oriented to translate the Qur’an faithfully, while Muhammad Thalib’s translation was oriented to provide an interpretive translation. For some verses, Thalib’s translation provides clearer meaning than that MORA’s. I argue that while translation errors are found in Thalib’s translation, none is found in MORA’s translation.Key words: Al-Quran Terjemahnya, Tarjamah Tafsiriyah, comparison, strength, weakness.
Hermeneutika al-Qur’an “Mazhab Yogya” (Telaah atas Teori Ma’na>-Cum-Maghza> dalam Penafsiran A l-Qur’an
Authors: Setiawan Asep
Published: August 2019

This article tries to discuss the discourse of the application of hermeneutics in Qur’anic studies, as seen in the theory of ma’na>-cum-maghza> offered by Muslim scholars in Yogyakarta. It argues that even though the effort of those who initiate the incorporation of hermeneutics to Qur’anic studies needs to be appreciated, its use as an approach to interpret the Qur’an is problematic. Taking into account its assumptions and implications, hermeneutics is not appropriate to be applied in the study of the Qur’an as it leads to confusion and doubt. The main issue is that hermeneutics departs from skepticism and relativism, equates the Qur’an with other texts, and produces uncertainty in meanings and relative-tentative interpretations.Keywords: hermeneutics, ma’na>-cum-maghza>, interpretation, Qur’anic studies.

Katanga Swahili and Heerlen Dutch: A sociohistorical and linguistic comparison of contact varieties in mining regions
Authors: Cornips Leonie , de Rooij Vincent
Published: August 2019

This article compares sociolinguistic and structural outcomes of language contact processes in two mining areas on two different continents, namely the Katanga region in the southeast of what is now the DR Congo, Africa and Heerlen as centre of the former Eastern Mine District in the southeastern province of Limburg in the Netherlands, Europe. Several similarities between these two regions make this comparison interesting. Both in Katanga and Heerlen, the natural copper and coal resources were located in border regions that were peripheral to central seats of government. In both regions, the exploitation of these resources, the growth of mining industries and rapid urbanization, began in the same period, the late nineteenth to early twentieth centuries. Despite being located on different continents – Africa and Europe – similar social conditions of language contact were responsible for the genesis of the language varieties underground and above ground. The language contact situations in Limburg and Katanga both resulted in structural innovation of Dutch and Swahili respectively. The most interesting innovation we identify in both cases can be characterized as the regularization of grammatical properties, and the expansion of aspect marking.
Composition and diversity of bat assemblages at Arabuko-Sokoke Forest and the adjacent farmlands, Kenya

Published: August 2019

Recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot, coastal forests in eastern Africa are currently reduced to fragments amidst human modified habitats. Managing for biodiversity depends on our understanding of how many and which species can persist in these modified areas. Aiming at clarifying how habitat structure changes affect bat assemblage composition and richness, we used ground-level mist nets at Arabuko-Sokoke Forest (ASF) and adjacent farmlands. Habitat structure was assessed using the point-centered quarter (PCQ) method at 210 points per habitat. We captured a total of 24 bat species (ASF: 19, farmlands: 23) and 5217 individuals (ASF: 19.1%, farmlands: 82.9%). Bat diversity was higher at ASF (H′, ASF: 1.48 ± 0.2, farm: 1.33 ± 0.1), but bat richness and abundance were higher in farmlands [Chao1, ASF: 19 (19–25), farmlands: 24 (24–32) species (95% confidence interval [CI])]. Understory vegetation and canopy cover were highest at ASF and the lower bat richness and abundance observed may be the result of the under-sampling of many clutter tolerant and high flying species. Future surveys should combine different methods of capture and acoustic surveys to comprehensively sample bats at ASF. Nonetheless, the rich bat assemblages observed in farmlands around ASF should be valued and landowners encouraged to maintain orchards on their farms.

Jared Kenrick Nieft: The Voice That Crieth in the Wilderness: F. W. J. Schelling and Toni Morrison’s Primordial Longing
Authors: Nieft Jared Kenrick
Published: August 2019

This paper explores the relationship between Toni Morrison’s 1987 novel, Beloved, and F. W. J. Schelling’s 1813 draft of Ages of the World (Die Weltalter). It shows that Die Weltalter, contrary to much recent scholarship, which often stresses the many ways Schelling anticipated the antimetaphysical trends of post-Hegelian thought, should be first approached as a genuine attempt tobe faithful to the event of first creation and time’s “indivisible remainders”. The paper will show that Schelling’s “indivisible remainders”, the forgotten and “disremembered” of history, force his thought to the limits of Romantic and idealist reflection and toward the traumatic encounters of Beloved. Morrison’s depiction of the irrepressible longing for life and recognition amid the pain and ugliness of American slavery parallels Schelling’s efforts to understand the tremendous need for life and fellowship that first urged god toward creation, when primordial longing was overcome in a child and a god entered time.

Silva, FHO, Arantes, FJ, Gregorio, FC, Santos, FRA, Fidale, TM, Bérzin, F, Bigaton, DR, and Lizardo, FB. Comparison of the electromyographic activity of the trunk and rectus femoris muscles during traditional crunch and exercise using the 5-minute Shaper device. J Strength Cond Res 34(1): 1–10, 2020—Different training devices are available to trigger greater activation of the abdominal muscles compared with that achieved during traditional abdominal exercises. This study aimed to compare the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the upper and lower rectus abdominis, external oblique abdominis, erector spinae, and rectus femoris (RF) muscles during traditional crunch and exercise using the 5-minute Shaper device. A convenience sample of 15 healthy men (mean ± SD; age: 23.65 ± 4.49 years, body fat percentage: 14.26 ± 3.56%) was selected. All men regularly participated in physical activity. Electromyographic data were collected for 5 repetitions of each abdominal exercise (traditional crunch and exercise using the 5-minute Shaper device at beginner, intermediate, advanced, and extreme levels) in a randomized and counterbalanced manner. Data were collected using simple differential surface electrodes and analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance (p < 0.05). Electromyographic signals were quantified using a root-mean-square analysis and normalized using the maximum voluntary isometric contraction. Traditional crunch produced greater or similar EMG activity in the abdominal muscles and minimized RF activity compared to the 5-minute Shaper device, hence, traditional crunch is preferred for training, especially for individuals with weak abdominal musculature and lower back problems. Therefore, the use of the 5-minute Shaper device may be questioned when it is intended to intensify the activity of the abdominal muscles; however, this apparatus may be used if greater variations in training are desired, depending on individual preferences.
Effect of Process-Induced Resin Bead on the Measured Tensile Strength of Polyacrylonitrile-Based Carbon Fibers
Authors: Li Long , Yuan Zeshuai , Zhu Shipeng , Gao Jianli , Pan Yuexiu , Yang Yunhua , Feng Zhihai
Published: August 2019

The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of a process-induced resin bead on the measured tensile strength of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers. It is found that the resin bead was formed on the surface of carbon fiber specimens if the carbon fibers impregnated with resin were positioned horizontally during the tensile specimen preparation. Mechanical testing results indicated that the measured tensile strength of carbon fibers noticeably decreased by about 10 % due to the formation of the resin bead, and the initial fracture of carbon fibers usually occurred around the resin bead. Moreover, the bending of the filaments in the resin bead had been observed by optical microscope. It is concluded that the flowing and curing of excess resin lead to the bending of loose filaments in carbon fiber tow during specimen preparation; thus, internal stress was subsequently formed in the fiber specimen, which is detrimental to the measured tensile strength. Finally, based on the microscopic observations, theoretical analysis under the maximum stress criterion was employed to predict the tensile strength of carbon fibers with a resin bead, and the theoretical results agree well with the experimental results. It is verified that the bending angle and the fraction of the bending filaments in the resin bead play important roles in deteriorating the measured tensile strength. These conclusions can help to improve the tensile testing method for accurately measuring the tensile strength of high modulus carbon fibers.
A Novel Mechanism To Prevent H2S Toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans
Authors: Horsman Joseph W , Heinis Frazer I , Miller Dana L
Published: August 2019

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenously produced signaling molecule that can be cytoprotective, especially in conditions of ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, H2S is also toxic, and unregulated accumulation or exposure to environmental H2S can be lethal. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the hypoxia inducible factor (hif-1) coordinates the initial transcriptional response to H2S, and is essential to survive exposure to low concentrations of H2S. We performed a forward genetic screen to identify mutations that suppress the lethality of hif-1 mutant animals in H2S. The mutations we recovered are specific for H2S, as they do not suppress embryonic lethality or reproductive arrest of hif-1 mutant animals in hypoxia, nor can they prevent the death of hif-1 mutant animals exposed to hydrogen cyanide. The majority of hif-1 suppressor mutations we recovered activate the skn-1/Nrf2 transcription factor. Activation of SKN-1 by hif-1 suppressor mutations increased the expression of a subset of H2S-responsive genes, consistent with previous findings that skn-1 plays a role in the transcriptional response to H2S. Using transgenic rescue, we show that overexpression of a single gene, rhy-1, is sufficient to protect hif-1 mutant animals in H2S. The rhy-1 gene encodes a predicated O-acyltransferase enzyme that has previously been shown to negatively regulate HIF-1 activity. Our data indicate that RHY-1 has novel, hif-1 independent, function that promotes survival in H2S.

Sulawesi Island is composed of complex tectonic arrangements. Most earthquake activities in Sulawesi are affected by the Palu - Koro Fault and Matano Fault. Palu - Koro Fault and Matano Fault are one of the faults in Central Sulawesi. Active movement of the fault results in high earthquake activity in the region of Central Sulawesi and its surroundings. This makes the importance of earthquake parameters in Central Sulawesi and surrounding areas. One of the efforts to find out earthquake parameter information accurately is to relocate. The purpose of this study was to conduct hypocenter earthquake relocation and determine the 1-D velocity structure of P waves in Central and surrounding areas using the Coupled Velocity - Hypocenter method with Velest 3.3 software. The data used are tectonic earthquake data from November 2009 to March 2018, data recording stations, and initial speed data. The results of data processing using the Velest 3.3 software are that some of the results of the relocation are close to fault, the final Vp at a depth of 9 km is slower than the initial Vp, the correction of the station obtained in this calculation is in the interval -0.81 to +0.54.

A 16-year-old girl presented to the emergency department with intermittent fevers and worsening abdominal pain of 5 weeks duration. She had a history of travel to a less developed country and exposure to possible infectious diseases. Abdominal imaging and blood tests revealed diffuse mesenteric lymphadenopathy, elevated transaminases, and elevation of inflammatory markers. Gastroesophageal and colon endoscopies revealed gastric ulcers, and the patient was discharged with a presumptive diagnosis of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis given the lymphadenopathy seen on imaging, serositis, sacroiliac joint stiffness noted on physical examination, and pain relief with celecoxib. She presented again 4 days later with worsening abdominal tenderness, elevated transaminases, and new-onset abdominal distention. Tissue biopsy yielded the diagnosis and directed appropriate treatment.

Cement-content determination for grouts and grouted soils
Authors: Kainrath Adrian , Adam Dietmar , Hornich Wolfgang
Published: August 2019

Permeation grouting is a common technique for ground improvement and cement-based grouts are the most widely used grouting materials to fill the voids of granular soil, with the purpose of reducing its permeability and improving its strength. Using the cement content, essential strength and permeability, predictions can be made. Unfortunately, once the grout has penetrated the soil, the final cement content in the soil cannot be estimated due to a lack of qualified methods. This paper presents a new approach to determine the cement content of hardened grouts and grouted soil, based on the estimation of the chemically bound water, which is an integral part of hydrated cement. Due to the high water-to-cement ratio of cement-based grouts, the hydration process occurs very quickly. Therefore, a fundamental correlation can be derived between the chemically bound water and the cement content. The chemically bound water in grouted soil samples can be determined through the water loss at different heating temperatures. This paper presents the developed theoretical principles based on systematic tests on hydrated grouts. Furthermore, evaluation tests to determine the cement content of grouted soil specimens were carried out and are discussed in this paper.
Mirthful gelastic seizures with ictal involvement of temporobasal regions
Authors: Oehl Bernhard , Biethahn Silke , Schulze‐Bonhage Andreas
Published: August 2019

Ictal laughter is the cardinal clinical sign of gelastic seizures in hypothalamic hamartomas and may also occur in extrahypothalamic epilepsies. Laughing consists of an affective and a motor component. It has been suggested that the affective component may result from an involvement of temporobasal structures, whereas the motor part is related to an involvement of the mesial frontal cortex. So far, evidence is based on a limited number of cases with spontaneously recorded seizures or in whom electrical stimulation of invasive intracranial EEG recordings has been performed. We report a patient who suffered from epigastric psychic auras, complex partial seizures with a gelastic component and secondarily generalized seizures. To evaluate a possible epileptogenic role of the hippocampus and dysplastic region in the right mid‐temporal gyrus, intracranial monitoring with subdural electrodes over the temporobasal and temporolateral regions, as well as a deep brain electrode in the hippocampus, were performed. During the intial part of the seizure, consisting of an intense retrosternal ascending feeling with sexual connotation, rhythmic spikes in temporolateral contacts were detected. Concomitant with the development of smiling and laughter, a rhythmic activity over the temporobasal regions evolved. The patient became seizure‐free following right temporal lobe resection. This case supports the assumption that ictal involvement of temporobasal structures is crucial for gelastic seizure components in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy. Progression to temporobasal regions was associated with the feeling of happiness whereas motor components of laughter occurred later. These findings are in accordance with the interpretation of surface recordings by Dericioglu and co‐workers in a similar previous case. [Published with video sequences].

Published: August 2019

The consequences of febrile seizures (FSs) in infants are still a matter of debate. It is important to develop non‐invasive tools to determine markers of brain function that could have predictive value for the outcome of FSs infants. Pattern visual evoked potentials (pVEPs) were recorded in 18 FS infants (mean age of seizure 15.97 months). Spectral density and coherence analyses were performed in infants evaluated at 1.1 month (n = 4), 5.75 months (n = 4) or 30.33 months (n = 6) following a prolonged FS and compared to age‐matched healthy controls. The impact of severity of seizures was assessed by comparing the children who had prolonged FSs to 4 infants that had experienced a simple FS. Cognitive tests (Bayley, Stanford‐Binet) were administered at the time of testing in FS and control children. Behavioural measures (Achenbach Child Behavior Check List) were administered two years after the FS. pVEP responses and coherence measures failed to yield significant differences between the FS groups and healthy controls. However, spectral density measures showed a significant increase in delta band activity in both FS groups and a reduced high frequency density only in the prolonged FS groups that was seen up to 39 months post‐seizure. Behavioural and cognitive measures revealed cognitive development within average, but lower attentional capacities in the FS infants. The persistent changes in spectral density patterns seen in children with prolonged FS may reflect seizure induced alterations in the developing brain or a result of a complex mode of inheritance. Further studies are needed to determine whether these observations can be used as a marker to predict the vulnerability of the child in developing behavioral deficits or epilepsy.
Electrophysiological characterisation of myoclonicatonic seizures in symptomatic continuous spike‐waves during slow sleep syndrome
Authors: Vrielynck Pascal , Defresne Pierre
Published: August 2019

Sudden epileptic falls are frequently reported in continuous spike‐waves during slow sleep (CSWS) syndrome. Inhibitory seizures are usually considered as the underlying mechanism. However, published polygraphic recordings are rare. We report the case of a 22 month‐old boy suffering from a symptomatic CSWS syndrome associated with a perinatal stroke involving the right middle cerebral artery territory. He presented with psychomotor regression and daily multiple falls related to myoclonic‐atonic seizures. Neurophysiological examination showed secondary generalized myoclonus systematically correlated with a bilateral spike spreading from the right central area. This confirms that positive myoclonus, in addition to negative myoclonus, may be responsible for epileptic falls in CSWS syndrome. [Published with video sequences]
Is benign myoclonic epilepsy of infancy truly idiopathic and generalized?

Published: August 2019

Benign myoclonic epilepsy of infancy is recognized as a generalized and idiopathic epilepsy by the International League Against Epilepsy. Unprovoked and reflex seizures have been reported in these patients. We describe a child diagnosed with benign myoclonic epilepsy of infancy, whose strictly unilateral and localized reflex myoclonias broaden the clinical spectrum of this idiopathic and generalized epileptic syndrome, and raise interrogations about its underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

This report concerns a 26‐year‐old Italian woman who was given the diagnosis of anti‐NMDAR encephalitis after the incidental identification of an ovarian tumour. Neuropsychiatric symptoms and hyperkinetic movements are very commonly seen as initial symptoms of paraneoplastic encephalitis. Interestingly, our patient showed stereotypical movements predominantly located to lower limbs, mimicking a psychogenic seizure. This latter feature further extends the clinical spectrum of dyskinetic movements of anti‐NMDAR encephalitis. [Published with video sequences]
Gene expression changes in an animal model of in utero irradiation‐induced cortical dysplasia

Purpose

Cortical Dysplasia (CD) is the histopathological substrate in almost half of all drug‐resistant focal epilepsies. Little is known about the gene expression profile of CD. As such information may help target therapeutics more effectively, our aim was to perform a gene expression analysis of an animal model of cortical dysplasia induced by in utero irradiation.

Methods

Nine offspring from irradiated animals, and nine age‐matched controls were sacrificed at post‐natal day 60. Cortical and hippocampal regions were separated, and total ribonucleic acid (RNA) was extracted using a commercially available kit (Qiagen®). RNA was then subjected to a gene expression analysis using an oligonucleotide microarray platform (Illumina®). After statistical analysis, genes were considered differentially expressed when a p value less than 0.001 was observed. Real‐time, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR) was used to confirm microarray results for three genes via the Livak method.

Results

Twenty three genes from cortical tissue met criteria for altered gene expression. Six genes from cortex seemed relevant to the pathogenesis of CD. Two genes that promoted cell survival (connective tissue growth factor and peroxiredoxin) were upregulated. One gene that promoted excitotoxic neurodegeneration (latrophilin‐2) was downregulated. Two genes involved in glutamate (protein kinase C‐α) and AMPA receptor recycling (NEEP‐21) were downregulated. One gene, (Shank‐1) involved in the control of dendritic maturation, was downregulated.

Conclusion

Gene expression analysis in this animal model revealed some of the potential mechanisms by which CD may lead to the phenotype of intractable epilepsy. The downregulation of genes that are involved in glutamate and AMPA receptor recycling may lead to increased excitability. Disinhibition of aberrant dendritic branching, resulting from a downregulation of Shank‐1, may also result in an increase in sprouting, excitation and/or hypersynchrony. Finally, genes promoting cell survival, either directly (connective tissue growth factor, peroxiredoxin) or indirectly (latrophilin‐2) may allow CD tissue to survive the excitotoxic injury that it produces, thus allowing it to perpetuate the epileptic condition over time.
Convulsive syncope: a condition to be differentiated from epilepsy
Authors: Ozkara Cigdem , Metin Baris , Kucukoglu Serdar
Published: August 2019

The clinical presentation of epilepsy and syncope can be confusingly similar. We present a patient with reflex syncopal episodes that mimic seizures using video‐EEG recordings. During the episodes, head/eye deviations, automatisms and dystonic movements, suggesting an epileptic seizure, were observed. The EEG revealed diffuse slow waves when the patient lost consciousness and complete cessation of the cerebral activity occurred when the dystonic movements started. On ECG recordings, bradycardia, followed by complete asystolia lasting for 40 seconds, was observed. We conclude that the differential diagnosis of epilepsy and syncope can be quite misleading and clinical features may not always be reliable. In cases where diagnosis is uncertain, circulatory and cardiac causes should always be kept in mind and video‐EEG with simultaneous cardiac recordings are mandatory for accuracy of diagnosis.
