AbstractAlthough the incidence of morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) has risen progressively in the last two decades, there remains uncertainty about the diagnosis and management of this condition. The aim of this review is to provide up‐to‐date and evidence‐based answers to common clinical questions regarding the diagnosis and management of MAP. Different risk factors have been associated with MAP; however, previous Cesarean section and placenta previa are the most frequently associated. Ultrasound is the primary method for diagnosing MAP and has a good overall diagnostic accuracy for its detection. When considering the different ultrasound signs of MAP, color Doppler seems to provide the best diagnostic performance. Magnetic resonance imaging has the same accuracy in diagnosing MAP as does ultrasound examination; its use should be considered when a resective procedure, such as hysterectomy, is planned as it can provide detailed information about the topography of placental invasion and predict difficulties that may arise in surgery. The optimal gestational age for delivery in pregnancies with MAP is yet to be established; planning surgery between 35 and 36 weeks of gestation provides the best balance between fetal maturity and the risk of unexpected episodes of heavy bleeding, which are more likely to occur with delivery after this timepoint, especially in severe cases of MAP. The optimal surgical approach to MAP depends on multiple factors, including availability of an experienced team, specific surgical skills and hospital resources. Copyright © 2015 ISUOG.

Published: July 2015

AbstractThe cadmium(II) complexes [CdL1(m‐nba)2] (1), [CdL1(p‐nba)2]·C2H5OH (2), [CdL2(p‐nba)2]·CH3OH (3), and [CdL2(p‐nbat)2] (4) containing the ligands L1 and L2 [L1 = 2,6‐bis(benzimidazol‐2‐yl)pyridine, L2 = bis(2‐benzimidazolylmethyl)amine] were synthesized and characterized (m‐nba, p‐nba, and p‐nbat are the anions of p‐nitrobenzoic acid, m‐nitrobenzoic acid, and p‐nitrobenzeneacetic acid, respectively). The complexes were investigated by X‐ray single crystal diffraction, elemental analysis as well as IR and fluorescence spectroscopy. Compounds 1–3 contain a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal coordination sphere with CdII coordinated by two carboxylate ligands in bidentate‐chelating mode, whereas complex 4 exhibits a distorted octahedral arrangement with one carboxylate ligand in bidentate‐chelating and the other in monodentate coordination mode. 1 and 2 form a 1D chain interplayed by hydrogen bonding and strong π–π stacking interactions. 3 and 4 vary from 1D chain into 2D single‐layer and double‐layer networks because of more extensive hydrogen bonding interactions. The complexes show emission maxima in the blue region in the solid state and emission bands are red‐shifted compared to those of the free ligands.
Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Lithium, Sodium, and ­Potassium Derivatives of 2‐(Methylthio)aniline and 2‐(Phenylthio)aniline
Authors: Liebing Phil , Merzweiler Kurt 
Published: July 2015

Abstract2‐(Methylthio)aniline (H2L1) and 2‐(phenylthio)aniline (H2L2) were treated with n‐butyllithium to yield the corresponding anilides [LiHL1] and [LiHL2]. Recrystallization from diethyl ether and THF afforded the solvates [LiHL1(Et2O)] and [LiHL2(THF)2]. The X‐ray crystal structure determination revealed dimeric molecules which exhibit a centrosymmetric Li2N2 ring. In the case of [LiHL1(Et2O)] the SMe group is involved in Li coordination and in the case of [LiHL2(THF)2] the SPh group is part of an intramolecular N–H···S hydrogen bridge. The sodium anilides [NaHL1(DME)] and [NaHL2(DME)] were obtained from the reaction of H2L1 and H2L2 with sodium amide in DME as solvent. Like in the case of the lithium amides the sodium derivatives [NaHL1(DME)] and [NaHL2(DME)] display centrosymmetric Na2N2 cores. The coordination sphere of the sodium atoms is completed by DME molecules, which act as chelating ligands. In the case of [NaHL1(DME)] the DME molecules enable additionally a linkage of the dimeric subunits to give a chain structure. The potassium derivatives [KNHL1] and [KNHL2(DME)] were obtained from H2L1 and H2L2 and potassium hydride in DME as solvent. [KNHL1] displays a distinct structure based on [(KNHL1)2] dimers, which are linked by additional [KNHL1] units to give a 3D coordination polymer with {4.8.16(3)} topology. [KNHL2(DME)] forms dimers linked by bridging DME molecules to give a chain‐like coordination polymer.

Published: July 2015

AbstractIntroductionRecent developments in diagnostic technology can support earlier, more accurate diagnosis of non‐Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementias.MethodsTo evaluate potential economic benefits of early rule‐out of AD, annual medical resource use and costs for Medicare beneficiaries potentially misdiagnosed with AD prior to their diagnosis of vascular dementia (VD) or Parkinson's disease (PD) were compared with that of similar patients never diagnosed with AD.ResultsPatients with prior AD diagnosis used substantially more medical services every year until their VD/PD diagnosis, resulting in incremental annual medical costs of approximately $9,500‐$14,000. However, following their corrected diagnosis, medical costs converged with those of patients never diagnosed with AD.DiscussionThe observed correlation between timing of correct diagnosis and subsequent reversal in excess costs is strongly suggestive of the role of misdiagnosis of AD ‐ rather than AD comorbidity ‐ in this patient population. Our findings suggest potential benefits from earlier, accurate diagnosis.
Conjugation between circle maps with several break points
Authors: ADOUANI ABDELHAMID 
Published: July 2015

Let$f$and$g$be two class$P$-homeomorphisms of the circle$S^{1}$with break point singularities, which are differentiable maps except at some singular points where the derivative has a jump. Assume that$f$and$g$have irrational rotation numbers and the derivatives$\text{Df}$and$\text{Dg}$are absolutely continuous on every continuity interval of$\text{Df}$and$\text{Dg}$, respectively. We prove that if the product of the$f$-jumps along all break points of$f$is distinct from that of$g$then the homeomorphism$h$conjugating$f$and$g$is a singular function, i.e. it is continuous on$S^{1}$, but$\text{Dh}(x)=0$ almost everywhere with respect to the Lebesgue measure. This result generalizes previous results for one and two break points obtained by Dzhalilov, Akin and Temir, and Akhadkulov, Dzhalilov and Mayer. As a consequence, we get in particular Dzhalilov–Mayer–Safarov’s theorem: if the product of the$f$-jumps along all break points of$f$is distinct from$1$, then the invariant measure$\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{f}$is singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure.
JEWISH LAW AND MEDIEVAL LOGIC: WHY EATING HORSE MEAT IS A PUNISHABLE OFFENSE
Authors: Rohrbacher Bernhard 
Published: July 2015

AbstractThis article presents a case study of the influence of Muslim and Christian logicians on medieval Jewish law. The case in question is why it is a punishable offense for Jews to eat mammals that do not have either sign of purity—that is, neither have split hooves nor chew their cud—and the article examines the answers given by three medieval Jewish sages: Rashi, Maimonides, and Naḥmanides. The Written Law of the Torah explicitly allows the consumption of mammals, such as cattle, with both signs of purity. It also explicitly prohibits the eating of mammals, such as camels or pigs, with one sign but not the other. It does not, however, appear to explicitly prohibit the consumption of mammals, such as horses, with neither sign. Using a fortiori logic, Rashi derives a punishable prohibition against eating horses from the prohibition against eating camels and pigs. Maimonides ascribes this prohibition to the Oral Law of the Talmud. Naḥmanides, by contrast, attributes it directly to the Written Law without relying on either a fortiori logic or the Oral Law. This article argues that this solution was available to Naḥmanides because he adopted inclusive disjunction from Christian logicians, but it was not available to Maimonides because he adopted exclusive disjunction from Muslim logicians. The choice between inclusive and exclusive disjunction is shown to continue to be of importance in modern American law.
NON-COCOMMUTATIVE C*-BIALGEBRA DEFINED AS THE DIRECT SUM OF FREE GROUP C*-ALGEBRAS
Authors: KAWAMURA KATSUNORI 
Published: July 2015

AbstractLeti ${\Bbb F}$n be the free group of rank n and let $\bigoplus C^{*}({\Bbb F}_{n})$ denote the direct sum of full group C*-algebras $C^{*}({\Bbb F}_{n})$ of ${\Bbb F}_{n} (1\leq n<\infty$). We introduce a new comultiplication Δϕ on $\bigoplus C^{*}({\Bbb F}_{n})$ such that $(\bigoplus C^{*}({\Bbb F}_{n}),\,\Delta_{\varphi})$ is a non-cocommutative C*-bialgebra. With respect to Δϕ, the tensor product π⊗ϕπ′ of any two representations π and π′ of free groups is defined. The operation ×ϕ is associative and non-commutative. We compute its tensor product formulas of several representations.
REMARKS ON -STABLE PROJECTIONLESS C*-ALGEBRAS
Authors: ROBERT LEONEL 
Published: July 2015

AbstractIt is shown that ${\mathcal{Z}}$-stable projectionless C*-algebras have the property that every element is a limit of products of two nilpotents. This is then used to classify the approximate unitary equivalence classes of positive elements in such C*-algebras using traces.
ON IMAGES OF REAL REPRESENTATIONS OF SPECIAL LINEAR GROUPS OVER COMPLETE DISCRETE VALUATION RINGS
Authors: FERNÓS TALIA , SINGLA POOJA 
Published: July 2015

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the abstract homomorphisms of the special linear group SLn($\mathfrak{O}$) over complete discrete valuation rings with finite residue field into the general linear group GLm($\mathbb{R}$) over the field of real numbers. We show that for m < 2n, every such homomorphism factors through a finite index subgroup of SLn($\mathfrak{O}$). For $\mathfrak{O}$ with positive characteristic, this result holds for all m ∈ ${\mathbb N}$.
ON VECTOR-VALUED TENT SPACES AND HARDY SPACES ASSOCIATED WITH NON-NEGATIVE SELF-ADJOINT OPERATORS
Authors: KEMPPAINEN MIKKO 
Published: July 2015

AbstractIn this paper, we study Hardy spaces associated with non-negative self-adjoint operators and develop their vector-valued theory. The complex interpolation scales of vector-valued tent spaces and Hardy spaces are extended to the endpoint p=1. The holomorphic functional calculus of L is also shown to be bounded on the associated Hardy space H1L(X). These results, along with the atomic decomposition for the aforementioned space, rely on boundedness of certain integral operators on the tent space T1(X).
The Short Career of the Indian Labour Corps in France, 1917–1919
Authors: Singha Radhika 
Published: July 2015

AbstractThis essay adds the story of the Indian Labour Corps (ILC) to the narratives of the various “coloured” units brought in to France to deal with the manpower crisis that had overtaken that theater of the First World War in 1916. The label “coloured” or “native labour” justified inferior care and a harsher work and disciplinary regime than that experienced by white labor. However, official reports and newspaper coverage also expose a dense play of ethnographic comparison between the different colored corps. The notion was that to “work” natives properly, the managerial regimes peculiar to them also had to be imported into the metropolis. The register of comparison was also shaped by specific political and social agendas which gave some colored units more room than others to negotiate acknowledgement of their services. One dimension of the war experience for Indian laborers was their engagement with institutional and ethnic categorizations. The other dimension was the process of being made over into military property and the workers own efforts to reframe the environments, object worlds, and orders of time within which they were positioned. By creating suggestive equivalences between themselves and other military personnel, they sought to lift themselves from the status of coolies to that of participants in a common project of war service. At the same time, they indicated that they had not put their persons at the disposal of the state in exactly the same way as thesepoy.

AbstractCancer immunotherapy has shown impressive results, but most patients do not respond. We hypothesized that the effector response in the tumour could be visualized as a complex network of interacting gene products and that by mapping this network we could predict effective pharmacological interventions. Here, we provide proof of concept for the validity of this approach in a murine mesothelioma model, which displays a dichotomous response to anti-CTLA4 immune checkpoint blockade. Network analysis of gene expression profiling data from responding versus non-responding tumours was employed to identify modules associated with response. Targeting the modules via selective modulation of hub genes or alternatively by using repurposed pharmaceuticals selected on the basis of their expression perturbation signatures dramatically enhanced the efficacy of CTLA4 blockade in this model. Our approach provides a powerful platform to repurpose drugs and define contextually relevant novel therapeutic targets.

Published: July 2015

AbstractGraphene has been studied for various applications due to its excellent properties. Graphene film fabrication from solutions of graphene oxide (GO) have attracted considerable attention because these procedures are suitable for mass production. GO, however, is an insulator and therefore a reduction process is required to make the GO film conductive. These reduction procedures require chemical reducing agents or high temperature annealing. Herein, we report a novel direct and simple reduction procedure of GO by silicon, which is the most widely used material in the electronics industry. In this study, we also used silicon nanosheets (SiNSs) as reducing agents for GO. The reducing effect of silicon was confirmed by various characterization methods. Furthermore, the silicon wafer was also used as a reducing template to create a reduced GO (rGO) film on a silicon substrate. By this process, a pure rGO film can be formed without the impurities that normally come from chemical reducing agents. This is an easy and environmentally friendly method to prepare large scale graphene films on Si substrates.
Cytosolic pressure provides a propulsive force comparable to actin polymerization during lamellipod protrusion
Authors: Manoussaki Daphne , Shin William D. , Waterman Clare M. , Chadwick Richard S. 
Published: July 2015

AbstractDoes cytosolic pressure facilitate f-actin polymerization to push the leading edge of a cell forward during self-propelled motion? AFM force-distance (f-d) curves obtained from lamellipodia of live cells often exhibit a signal from which the tension, bending modulus, elastic modulus and thickness in the membrane-cortex complex can be estimated close to the contact point. These measurements permit an estimate of the cytosolic pressure via the canonical Laplace force balance. The deeper portion of the f-d curve allows estimation of the bulk modulus of the cytoskeleton after removal of the bottom effect artifact. These estimates of tension, pressure, cortex thickness and elastic moduli imply that cytosolic pressure both pushes the membrane forward and compresses the actin cortex rearward to facilitate f-actin polymerization. We also estimate that cytosolic pressure fluctuations, most likely induced by myosin, provide a propulsive force comparable to that provided by f-actin polymerization in a lamellipod.
IL-15 receptor α signaling constrains the development of IL-17–producing γδ T cells
Authors: Colpitts Sara L. , Puddington Lynn , Lefrançois Leo 
Published: July 2015

Significance
γδ T cells producing IL-17 (γδ-17 cells) play an important role in promoting inflammation, but the mechanisms that regulate their development are still being explored. IL-15 and its receptor, IL-15Rα, function largely to promote the development and survival of lymphoid cells. Here we show that IL-15Rα signaling has an opposing effect on the γδ-17 population, such that a deficiency in IL-15Rα increases γδ-17 cells and their precursors. This work establishes a direct role for IL-15Rα signaling in vivo and raises questions about the role of IL-15 itself in this process.

SignificanceReinfection after treatment is a problem that plagues efforts to control parasites with complex transmission pathways, such as schistosomiasis, which affects at least 220 million people worldwide and requires an obligate snail intermediate host. Our study highlights a potential ecological solution to this global health problem: We show that a species of river prawn indigenous to the west coast of Africa,Macrobrachium vollenhovenii, could offer a low-cost, sustainable form of snail control that, when used in synergy with existing drug distribution campaigns, could reduce or locally eliminate the parasite. Biological conservation does not always benefit human health, but our results show that where it does, it could provide a win-win outcome for humans and nature.
Enhanced enstrophy generation for turbulent convection in low-Prandtl-number fluids
Authors: Schumacher Jörg , Götzfried Paul , Scheel Janet D. 
Published: July 2015

Significance
Low-Prandtl-number thermal convection flows in liquid metals for which the temperature diffusivity is much larger than the fluid viscosity have been studied much less frequently than convective flows in air or water, despite many important applications reaching from astrophysics to energy conversion. Currently, the turbulence in low-Prandtl-number flows is fully accessible only by three-dimensional simulations. Our numerical studies reveal why the small-scale turbulence is much more vigorous compared with convection in air. We also find that the generation of small-scale vorticity in the bulk of convection follows the same mechanisms and statistics as in idealized isotropic turbulence, especially for the low-Prandtl-number flow. This opens new perspectives for necessary turbulence parameterizations in applications.
Accuracy of initial codon selection by aminoacyl-tRNAs on the mRNA-programmed bacterial ribosome
Authors: Zhang Jingji , Ieong Ka-Weng , Johansson Magnus , Ehrenberg Måns 
Published: July 2015

Significance
The genetic code letters, codons, are in all life forms translated to protein building blocks, amino acids, on ribosomes with the help of tRNAs. For 15% of the total genetic code we have clarified how the rates of codon translation decrease as the accuracies of codon reading increase toward their maximal values. Our study is ground-breaking with respect to its large scope, its relevance for genetic code translation in living cells, and the precision of its error estimates. Our data suggest that the quality of the ensembles of proteins in cells is determined by “error hot spots” in code translation, where amino acid substitutions are frequent. Our study is essential for modeling of bacterial physiology and understanding genetic code evolution.
The lameness of King Philip II and Royal Tomb I at Vergina, Macedonia

Published: July 2015

Significance
The knee ankylosis and the hole through it ties perfectly with the penetrating wound and lameness suffered by Philip II and conclusively identifies him as the occupant of Tomb I in Vergina, Greece. The age estimates of the three occupants are consistent with those derived from the historical sources. Cleopatra's (Philip’s wife) child was born a few days before Philip II’s assassination and both were murdered soon after Philip’s assassination. It follows that Tomb II belongs to King Arrhidaeus and his wife Eurydice and may well contain some of the armor of Alexander the Great. Thus, a nearly 40-y-old mystery concerning the Royal Tombs of Vergina has finally been solved that puzzled historians, archaeologists, and physical anthropologists.
Huntington’s disease: Neural dysfunction linked to inositol polyphosphate multikinase

Published: July 2015

Significance
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting the striatum. The striatal-enriched transcription factor COUP-TF-interacting protein 2 (Ctip2) is depleted in HD and has been identified as a putative transcription factor for the enzyme inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK). IPMK displays soluble inositol phosphate kinase activity, lipid kinase activity, and several noncatalytic activities including its role as a transcriptional coactivator. We describe severe depletion in IPMK protein in HD patients and several animal and cell models of the disease. IPMK overexpression rescues the metabolic impairments in a cell model of HD. Furthermore, delivery of IPMK in a transgenic HD model improves pathological changes and motor performance. The Ctip2–IPMK–Akt signaling pathway provides a previously unidentified therapeutic target for HD.
