Clinical Characteristics of Patients Diagnosed with Strongyloidiasis in a United States Urban Outpatient Dermatology Department: A Case Series
Authors: Watchmaker Jacqueline , Legler Sean , De Leon Dianne , Pascoe Vanessa , Stavert Robert 
Published: November 2017

Background: Although considered a tropical disease, strongyloidiasis may be encountered in non-endemic regions, primarily amongst immigrants and travelers from endemic areas. Chronic strongyloides infection may be under-detected owing to its non-specific cutaneous presentation and the low sensitivity of commonly used screening tools. Methods: 18 consecutive patients with serologic evidence of strongyloides infestation who presented to a single urban, academic dermatology clinic between September 2013 and October 2016 were retrospectively included. Patient age, sex, country of origin, strongyloides serology titer, absolute eosinophil count, presenting cutaneous manifestations, and patient reported subjective outcome of pruritus after treatment were obtained via chart review. Results: Of the 18 patients, all had non-specific pruritic dermatoses, 36% had documented eosinophila and none were originally from the United States. A majority reported subjective improvement in their symptoms after treatment. Conclusion: Strongyloides infection and serologic testing should be considered in patients living in non-endemic regions presenting with pruritic dermatoses and with a history of exposure to an endemic area.Key Points:Chronic strongyloidiasis can be encountered in non-endemic areas and clinical manifestations are variableEosinophilia was not a reliable indicator of chronic infection in this case series Dermatologists should consider serologic testing for strongyloidiasis in patients with a history of exposure and unexplained pruritus

A 51-year-old female with a history of rheumatoid arthritis was admitted for progressive fevers, chills and malaise. Five weeks prior, she started minocycline for an RA exacerbation. Two weeks after starting minocycline she developed an abscess on her right ankle that was treated at an urgent care facility with ceftriaxone and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. She had minimal improvement so was switched to clindamycin. She developed additional abscesses on her right ankle and right axilla and spiking fevers so she was treated with incision and drainage under general anesthesia. Routine blood work obtained prior to surgery revealed severe neutropenia (0.74 103/ul) and the patient was urgently referred to the emergency department. Skin biopsy was obtained on admission and revealed ulceration, necrosis, acute and chronic inflammation, vasculitis with vascular thrombosis and rod-shaped bacteria in blood vessel walls and lumina consistent with ecthyma gangrenosum. The following day tissue and blood cultures confirmed the growth of Pseudomonas aureginosa. Bone-marrow biopsy showed decreased granulopoiesis and hematopoiesis, and a diagnosis of minocycline-induced agranulocytosis presenting as ecthyma gangrenosum was made. The patient had dramatic improvement with appropriate antibiotic therapy, discontinuation of minocycline and initiation of filgrastrim. She has remained healthy without recurrence for 17 months.
A INCIDÊNCIA DE BENEFÍCIOS TRIBUTÁRIOS NO IPTU PARA O CONTRIBUINTE
Authors: Marcos Patrícia Rossi 
Published: November 2017

O direito de propriedade com a Constituição Federal de 1988 passou a submeter-se às relações jurídicas reparatórias dos interesses individuais e difusos. O uso privado de espaços nas cidades para favorecer a necessidade da moradia passa a cumprir exigências legais. Por meio da percepção da cultura e dos hábitos da sociedade e no intuito de entender as exigências de ordenação da cidade expressas no Plano Diretor pela execução da função social da cidade, dentre as quais estruturar espaços e reservá-los para moradia. Sabe-se que os benefícios tributários e os incentivos sociais ocorrem de maneira proporcional à compreensão do cidadão para o que seja responsabilidade social. A responsabilidade pela organização do uso e ocupação do espaço produz uma lacuna aos proprietários, detentores do domínio útil e possuidores diretos de imóveis urbanos. O poder público em seus atos de gestão possui como desafio conciliar o uso da propriedade como moradia para o crescimento econômico e social sustentável. Percebe-se com a pesquisa que para a caracterização do direito comum da propriedade como moradia (dispor, reivindicar, usar e gozar), de forma genérica ou sob condições especiais e diferenciadas o recolhimento do imposto predial e territorial urbano aparece como uma obrigação ao contribuinte. Para tanto o Plano Diretor é o instrumento de intervenção municipal no espaço urbano e que impõe os limites na organização do espaço público como o dever de recolher o IPTU progressivo. Nesse sentido em favor da progressividade extrafiscal demonstra, com base em uma pesquisa empírica disposta por meio de questionário e da pesquisa doutrinária, que não só há responsabilidade pública para a transformação da cidade mas também do cidadão.

Abstract
We present the analysis of OGLE-2016-BLG-0613, for which the lensing light curve appears to be that of a typical binary-lens event with two caustic spikes but with a discontinuous feature on the trough between the spikes. We find that the discontinuous feature was produced by a planetary companion to the binary lens. We find four degenerate triple-lens solution classes, each composed of a pair of solutions according to the well-known wide/close planetary degeneracy. One of these solution classes is excluded due to its relatively poor fit. For the remaining three pairs of solutions, the most-likely primary mass is about

, while the planet is a super Jupiter. In all cases, the system lies in the Galactic disk, about halfway toward the Galactic bulge. However, in one of these three solution classes, the secondary of the binary system is a low-mass brown dwarf, with relative mass ratios (1:0.03:0.003), while in the two others the masses of the binary components are comparable. These two possibilities can be distinguished in about 2024 when the measured lens-source relative proper motion will permit separate resolution of the lens and source.
Many-body Forces in Magnetic Neutron Stars
Authors: Gomes R. O. , Franzon B. , Dexheimer V. , Schramm S. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In this work, we study in detail the effects of many-body forces on the equation of state and the structure of magnetic neutron stars. The stellar matter is described within a relativistic mean field formalism that takes into account many-body forces by means of a nonlinear meson field dependence on the nuclear interaction coupling constants. We assume that matter is at zero temperature, charge neutral, in beta equilibrium, and populated by the baryon octet, electrons, and muons. In order to study the effects of different degrees of stiffness in the equation of state, we explore the parameter space of the model, which reproduces nuclear matter properties at saturation, as well as massive neutron stars. Magnetic field effects are introduced both in the equation of state and in the macroscopic structure of stars by the self-consistent solution of the Einstein–Maxwell equations. In addition, the effects of poloidal magnetic fields on the global properties of stars, as well as density and magnetic field profiles, are investigated. We find that not only different macroscopic magnetic field distributions but also different parameterizations of the model for a fixed magnetic field distribution impact the gravitational mass, deformation, and internal density profiles of stars. Finally, we show that strong magnetic fields significantly affect the particle populations of stars.
Test Particle Energization and the Anisotropic Effects of Dynamical MHD Turbulence
Authors: González C. A. , Dmitruk P. , Mininni P. D. , Matthaeus W. H. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the effect of dynamical three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on test particle acceleration and compare how this evolving system affects particle energization by current sheet interaction, as opposed to frozen-in-time fields. To do this, we analyze the ensemble particle acceleration for static electromagnetic fields extracted from direct numerical simulations of the MHD equations, and compare it with the dynamical fields. We show that a reduction in particle acceleration in the dynamical model results from particle trapping in field lines, which forces the particles to be advected by the flow and suppresses long exposures to the strong electric field gradients that take place between structures and generate (among other effects) an efficient particle acceleration in the static case. In addition, we analyze the effect of anisotropy caused by the mean magnetic field. It is well known that for sufficiently strong external fields, the system experiences a transition toward a two-dimensional flow. This causes an increment in the size of the coherent structures, resulting in a magnetized state of the particles and a reduction in particle energization.

Abstract
We present homogeneous, sub-horizontal branch photometry of 20 dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies of M31 observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Combining our new data for 16 systems with archival data in the same filters for another four, we show that Andromeda dwarf spheroidal galaxies favor strikingly red horizontal branches or red clumps down to ∼104.2

⊙ (M

L
⊙ show the widest range in the ratios and morphologies of red and blue horizontal branches, indicative of both complex SFHs and a diversity in quenching timescales and/or mechanisms, which is qualitatively different from what is currently known for faint Milky Way (MW) satellites of comparable luminosities. Our findings bolster similar conclusions from recent deeper data for a handful of M31 dwarf galaxies. We discuss several sources for diversity of our data such as varying halo masses, patchy reionization, mergers/accretion, and the environmental influence of M31 and the Milky Way on the early evolution of their satellite populations. A detailed comparison between the histories of M31 and MW satellites would shed signifiant insight into the processes that drive the evolution of low-mass galaxies. Such a study will require imaging that reaches the oldest main-sequence turnoffs for a significant number of M31 companions.
The Stellar Content of the Infalling Molecular Clump G286.21+0.17

Published: November 2017

Abstract
The early evolution during massive star cluster formation is still uncertain. Observing embedded clusters at their earliest stages of formation can provide insight into the spatial and temporal distribution of the stars and thus probe different star cluster formation models. We present near-infrared imaging of an 8′ × 13′ (5.4 pc × 8.7 pc) region around the massive infalling clump G286.21+0.17 (also known as BYF73). The stellar content across the field is determined and photometry is derived in order to obtain stellar parameters for the cluster members. We find evidence for some sub-structure (on scales less than a parsec in diameter) within the region with apparently at least three different sub-clusters associated with the molecular clump based on differences in extinction and disk fractions. At the center of the clump we identify a deeply embedded sub-cluster. Near-infrared excess is detected for 39%–44% in the two sub-clusters associated with molecular material and 27% for the exposed cluster. Using the disk excess as a proxy for age, this suggests the clusters are very young. The current total stellar mass is estimated to be at least 200 M
⊙. The molecular core hosts a rich population of pre-main-sequence stars. There is evidence for multiple events of star formation both in terms of the spatial distribution within the star-forming region and possibly from the disk frequency.
An Assessment of and Solution to the Intensity Diffusion Error Intrinsic to Short-characteristic Radiative Transfer Methods
Authors: Peck C. L. , Criscuoli S. , Rast M. P. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Radiative transfer coupled with highly realistic simulations of the solar atmosphere is routinely used to infer the physical properties underlying solar observations. Due to its computational efficiency, the method of short-characteristics is often employed, despite it introducing numerical diffusion as an interpolation artifact. In this paper, we quantify the effect of the numerical diffusion on the spatial resolution of synthesized emergent intensity images, and derive a closed form analytical model of the diffusive error made as a function of viewing angle when using linear interpolation. We demonstrate that the consequent image degradation adversely affects the comparison between simulated data and observations away from disk center, unless the simulations are computed at much higher intrinsic resolutions than the observations. We also show that the diffusive error is readily avoided by interpolating the simulation solution on a viewing angle aligned grid prior to computing the radiative transfer. Doing this will be critical for comparisons with observations using the upcoming large aperture telescopes—the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope and the European Solar Telescope.
Reconstruction of a Large-scale Pre-flare Coronal Current Sheet Associated with a Homologous X-shaped Flare

Published: November 2017

Abstract
As a fundamental magnetic structure in the solar corona, electric current sheets (CSs) can form either prior to or during a solar flare, and they are essential for magnetic energy dissipation in the solar corona because they enable magnetic reconnection. However, the static reconstruction of a CS is rare, possibly due to limitations that are inherent in the available coronal field extrapolation codes. Here we present the reconstruction of a large-scale pre-flare CS in solar active region 11967 using an MHD-relaxation model constrained by the SDO/HMI vector magnetogram. The CS is associated with a set of peculiar homologous flares that exhibit unique X-shaped ribbons and loops occurring in a quadrupolar magnetic configuration.This is evidenced by an ’X’ shape, formed from the field lines traced from the CS to the photosphere. This nearly reproduces the shape of the observed flare ribbons, suggesting that the flare is a product of the dissipation of the CS via reconnection. The CS forms in a hyperbolic flux tube, which is an intersection of two quasi-separatrix layers. The recurrence of the X-shaped flares might be attributed to the repetitive formation and dissipation of the CS, as driven by the photospheric footpoint motions. These results demonstrate the power of a data-constrained MHD model in reproducing a CS in the corona as well as providing insight into the magnetic mechanism of solar flares.
Reassessment of an Origin of the Radio Structure of J1420–0545
Authors: Jamrozy M. , Machalski J. , Nikiel-Wroczyński B. , Intema H. T. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In this paper, we test the possibility that the structure of the largest radio galaxy J1420−0545 may have been formed by restarted rather than primary jet activity. This hypothesis was motivated by the unusual morphological properties of the source consisting of two edge-brightened, narrow, highly collinear, and symmetric lobes, thus suggesting an almost ballistic propagation of powerful jets into a particularly low-density external medium. New observations made with the VLA together with the currently available gleam and TGSS ADR1 data releases allow the detection of an excess emission at low frequencies. An extracted part (88 MHz–200 MHz) of the spectrum of the emission is fitted with the dynage model, giving a forecast for the environmental conditions and the energetic requirements for the presumed old cocoon related to a preceding epoch of jet activity.
Inflows in the Inner White-light Corona: The Closing-down of Flux after Coronal Mass Ejections
Authors: Hess P. , Wang Y.-M. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
During times of high solar activity, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph C2 coronagraph has recorded multitudes of small features moving inward through its

field of view. These outer-coronal inflows, which are concentrated around the heliospheric current sheet, tend to be poorly correlated with individual coronal mass ejection (CME) events. Using running-difference movies constructed from Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory/COR1 coronagraph images taken during 2008–2014, we have identified large numbers of inward-moving features at heliocentric distances below

, with the rate increasing with sunspot and CME activity. Most of these inner-coronal inflows are closely associated with CMEs, being observed during and in the days immediately following the eruptions. Here, we describe several examples of the pinching-off of tapered streamer structures in the wake of CMEs. This type of inflow event is characterized by a separation of the flow into incoming and outgoing components connected by a thin spike, which is interpreted as a continually elongating current sheet viewed edge-on; by the prior convergence of narrow rays toward the current sheet; and by a succession of collapsing loops that form a cusp-shaped structure at the base of the current sheet. The re-forming streamer overlies a growing post-eruption arcade that is visible in EUV images. These observations provide support for standard reconnection models for the formation/evolution of flux ropes during solar eruptive events. We suggest that inflow streams that occur over a relatively wide range of position angles result from the pinching-off of loop arcades whose axes are oriented parallel rather than perpendicular to the sky plane.
