Abstract
Objectives This article assesses the treatment outcomes in the patients diagnosed with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) treated with stereotactic radiosurgery.
Materials and Methods We retrospectively analyzed 30 patients diagnosed with AVM treated between 2010 and 2018.The median age at presentation was 30 years (range: 14–60 years). The median planning target volume (PTV) was 6.8 mL (range: 0.9–54 mL). The median dose prescribed was 18 Gy (range: 16–24 Gy). Modified radiosurgery-based AVM grading score was calculated for all the patients.
Results The median follow-up of the entire cohort was 60 months (range: 24–96 months). The obliteration rates for patients followed up for 3 and 5 years were 75 and 86.1%, respectively. Age (< 35 years; p = 0.007) and PTV (< 7 mL; p = 0.04), had better obliteration rates. Three patients had hemorrhage, from the AVM after irradiation. None of them were fatal.
Conclusion Stereotactic radiosurgery is a preferred noninvasive treatment modality with acceptable morbidity.

Published: April 2021

AbstractSplenium of corpus callosum can be involved in a variety of pathologies causing reversible or irreversible damage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful investigation to evaluate the same. In spite of the differing etiologies implicated, MRI findings can be quite common. We review the reversible causes of diffusion restriction involving the splenium of corpus callosum and highlight the etiopathologic mechanisms implicated in these pathologies. We further discuss these pathologies in entirety with relevant clinical and laboratory findings helping make definitive diagnosis and guiding appropriate management.

Published: April 2021

Significance
Millions of people affected by epilepsy may undergo surgical resection of the epileptic tissues to stop seizures if such epileptic foci can be accurately delineated. High-frequency oscillations (HFOs), existing in electroencephalography, are highly correlated with epileptic brain, which is promising for guiding successful neurosurgery. However, it is unclear whether and how pathological HFOs can be differentiated to localize the epileptogenic tissues given the presence of various nonepileptic high-frequency activities. Here, we show morphological and source imaging evidence that pathological HFOs can be identified by the concurrence of epileptiform spikes. We describe a framework to delineate the underlying epileptogenicity using this biomarker. Our work may offer translational tools to improve treatments by noninvasively demarking pathological activities and hence epileptic foci.

Significance
Understanding bacterial movement is crucial for health, agriculture, environment, and industry. Studying the motility of five bacterial species in microfluidic environments showed that bacterial motility behavior is the result of a “tug-of-war” between hydrodynamics and local nanomechanics. In less confining spaces, bacterial motility is governed by hydrodynamics and can be approximately predicted by modeling developed for the simplest species. Conversely, in tightly confining environments, movement is mainly controlled by the steric interactions between flagella and the surrounding walls. Intriguingly, in mesoscale-sized geometries, hydrodynamics and bacterium–wall interactions overlap, either “constructively,” leading to smooth movement in straight channels, or “destructively,” leading to trapping. Our study provides a methodological template for the development of devices for single-cell genomics, diagnostics, or biocomputation.

SignificanceImpairment of the coordinated beating of multiple cilia results in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) phenotypes such as chronic respiratory problems. In this study, we find CYB5D1 is a radial spoke stalk protein that binds heme under oxidizing conditions. Mutation of CYB5D1 in zebrafish and green algae lead to uncoordinated ciliary beating. Importantly, lack of CrCYB5D1 changes the redox state of flagella. Our findings reveal the important role of redox in the coordinated beating of multiple cilia and suggest a possible PCD therapy by modulating the redox poise in cilia.

Significance
The immune system relies on coordinated interactions between motile cells guided by molecules known as chemokines. However, processes that control chemokine distribution in complex in vivo microenvironments are poorly understood. Dendritic cells in barrier tissues require the chemokine CCL21 to enter lymphatic vessels during tissue egress. Here, we demonstrate that ACKR4 shapes CCL21 distribution in barrier tissues and prevents leakage of CCL21 from the tissue. Without ACKR4, extracellular CCL21 gradients in barrier sites are saturated and nonfunctional, DCs cannot home directly to lymphatic vessels, and excess soluble CCL21 from peripheral tissues pollutes lymph nodes. The results increase understanding of regulation of dendritic cell egress and chemokine distribution in vivo and raise new questions regarding the function of solubilized CCL21.
Blumeria graminis (powdery mildew of grasses and cereals).
Authors: Cowger Christina , Brown James K. M. 
Published: April 2021

Abstract

Powdery mildew is one of the most common and destructive diseases of cereals. Actual losses depend on the time of disease epidemic onset and its severity, and can at the extreme reach up to 60% (James et al., 1991; Oerke et al., 1994). Although it occurs in most, if not all, parts of the world where cereals are grown, powdery mildew is not considered to be a major problem in every region. This disease can be very destructive, but generally seems to cause most damage in temperate latitudes, especially in the northern hemisphere, where wheat and barley are more frequently cultivated (see map in Cowger et al., 2012). However, powdery mildew can also be a limiting factor for cereal production in subtropical and tropical areas. Yield losses by powdery mildews are generally complex to estimate and depend on several factors such as climate, year, cropping system, cereal species and cultivar.
