Ostiliano ‘Augusto’: la tempestiva dedica della città di Keramos in Caria
Authors: Arena Gaetano 
Published: June 2024

Abstract Hostilianus ‘Augustus’: the prompt dedication of the city of Keramos in Caria An inscription from Keramos in Caria was placed in honour of Hostilianus during the archontate of the archiater Marcus Aurelius Valens Polites. The document – which has aroused a fair amount of interest among historians of ancient medicine, while in the sphere of ancient history studies it has curiously gone almost unnoticed – deserves particular attention, also considering the relative paucity of data we possess on this emperor and the uncertainty, still present today, regarding some crucial aspects of his albeit ephemeral reign. Inserted within the complex and variegated chronological framework of the events of the wars of the 3rd century A.D., the epigraph is actually located in a very important ‘interstitial’ space and allows us to formulate some reflections on the logic of succession to power and on dynastic and ‘paradynastic’ strategies, since both Herennius Etruscus as well as Gallus and Volusianus are absent from Keramos’ text, while Hostilianus is defined Augustus and ‘son’ of the not-yet divus Augustus Decius.
Ad-hoc-Pflicht für Nachhaltigkeitsinformationen
Authors: Bingel Adrian , Holtkamp Nico 
Published: June 2024

Zusammenfassung
Die Berichtspflichten für Nachhaltigkeitsinformationen wurden in den vergangenen Jahren erheblich ausgeweitet. Direkte Eingriffe in das Recht der Ad-hoc-Publizität gab es in diesem Zusammenhang zwar bisher nicht. Dennoch stellt sich die Frage, ob die gesetzgeberische Aufwertung von Nachhaltigkeitsinformationen - z.B. aufgrund eines dadurch gewandelten „Anlegerleitbilds“ - zu einer Ausweitung der Ad-hoc-Publizitätspflichten führt. Der folgende Beitrag geht dieser Frage nach und nimmt dabei sowohl die Primärebene als auch die schadensrechtliche Situation in den Blick.
Yes, This Is A Puff Piece? A Comparative Analysis of the Vendor Defences of Puffery, Statements of Future Intent and Disclaimers — How far does the divergence between promised and actual capabilities of an ERP implementation stretch until the ERP vendor is liable … and then stretch further until the ERP vendor is no longer liable?
Authors: Beardwood John 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In past articles we have reviewed critical lessons learned from various failed ERP implementations and outsourcing transactions. One of the common themes is the divergence between the representations made by technology vendor sales teams as to promised skills, expertise and delivery, and the actually provided skills, expertise and delivery. In turn, the analysis of the resulting lawsuits has emerged, in response to customer allegations of negligent misrepresentation and fraudulent misrepresentation, the vendor defences of puffery and opinion, statements of future intent, and contractual disclaimer. The article begins in this Part 1 by providing an overview of the law of misrepresentation, and then the common vendor defences of puffery and opinion, statements of future intent, and contractual disclaimers, in Canada (I) and in the United States (II). Part 2 will then complete the overview with a look at the European Union (III) and an assessment how these defences were raised by vendors in two recent ERP failure lawsuits (IV), before concluding with lessons learned for vendors and customers (V).

Co‐Witness Confidence, Conformity, and Eyewitness Memory: An Examination of Normative and Informational Social Influences
Authors: Goodwin Kerri A. , Kukucka Jeffrey P. , Hawks Irina M. 
Published: October 2012

SummaryWe explored conformity and co‐witness confidence in eyewitness memory. Confederates provided misleading information and confidence ratings during a cued recall test, and participants publicly provided answers to this test in turn. Participants performed memory tests with a confederate, then completed individual memory tests. Results indicated that confederates who answered questions prior to participants impacted their public and private memory reports for accurate information but only impacted public reports for misleading information. Participants' confidence in their performance in the presence of a confederate mirrored the confederate's confidence levels, suggesting a confidence conformity effect. Results are explained in terms of differential effects of informational and normative influence for accuracy and confidence in co‐witness memory reports. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Synergetic Targeted Delivery of Sleeping‐Beauty Transposon System to Mesenchymal Stem Cells Using LPD Nanoparticles Modified with a Phage‐Displayed Targeting Peptide

Published: October 2012

AbstractAn important criterion for effective gene therapy is sufficient chromosomal integration activity. The Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon system is a plasmid system allowing efficient insertion of transgenes into the host genome. However, such efficient insertion occurs only after the system is delivered to nuclei. Since transposons do not have the transducing abilities of viral vectors, efficient delivery of this system first into cells and then into cell nuclei is still a challenge. Here, a phage display technique using a major coat displayed phage library is employed to identify a peptide (VTAMEPGQ) that can home to rat mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs). A nanoparticle, called liposome protamine/DNA lipoplex (LPD), is electrostatically assembled from cationic liposomes and an anionic complex of protamine, DNA and targeting peptides. Various peptides are enveloped inside the LPD to improve its targeting capability for rMSCs and nuclei. The rMSC‐targeting peptide and nuclear localization signal (NLS) peptide can execute the synergetic effect to promote transfection action of LPD. The homing peptide directs the LPD to target the MSCs, whereas the NLS peptide directs transposon to accumulate into nuclei once LPD is internalized inside the cells, leading to increased gene expression. This suggests that rMSC‐targeting peptide and NLS peptide within LPD can target to rMSCs and then guide transposon into nuclei. After entering the nuclei, SB transposon increase the insertion rates into cellular chromosomes. The targeting LPD does not show obvious cell toxicity and influence on the differentiation potential of rMSCs. Therefore, the integration of SB transposon and LPD system is a promising nonviral gene delivery vector in stem cell therapy.

Published: October 2012

AbstractFilms made of 2D networks of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are one of the most promising active‐channel materials for field‐effect transistors (FETs) and have a variety of flexible electronic applications, ranging from biological and chemical sensors to high‐speed switching devices. Challenges, however, still remain due to the current hysteresis of SWNT‐containing FETs, which has hindered further development. A new and robust method to control the current hysteresis of a SWNT‐network FET is presented, which involves the non‐volatile polarization of a ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF‐TrFE)) gate insulator. A top‐gate FET with a solution‐processed SWNT‐network exhibits significant suppression of the hysteresis when the gate‐voltage sweep is greater than the coercive field of the ferroelectric polymer layer (≈50 MV m−1). These near‐hysteresis‐free characteristics are believed to be due to the characteristic hysteresis of the P(VDF‐TrFE), resulting from its non‐volatile polarization, which makes effective compensation for the current hysteresis of the SWNT‐network FETs. The onset voltage for hysteresis‐minimized operation is able to be tuned simply by controlling the thickness of the ferroelectric film, which opens the possibility of operating hysteresis‐free devices with gate voltages down to a few volts.
Insights into the Adhesive Mechanisms of Tree Frogs using Artificial Mimics

Published: October 2012

AbstractElastic, microstructured surfaces (hydrophobic and hydrophilic) mimicking the surface structure of tree‐frog toe‐pads are fabricated. Their adhesion and friction behaviour in the presence of a liquid layer is evaluated and compared to flat controls. Tree‐frog‐like patterns are beneficial for wet adhesion only if the liquid does not wet the surface. The situation is different in friction, where the surface structure lead to significantly higher friction forces only if the liquid does wet the surface. Taking into account that tree‐frog attachment pads are hydrophilic and that their secretion wets all kind of surfaces, our results indicate that the surface structure in tree‐frog toe‐pads has been developed for climbing, when shear (friction) forces are involved. These results evidence the benefits and limitations of the surface design (microstructure and hydrophilicity) for adhesion and friction under wet conditions.

Published: October 2012

AbstractThis review covers the molecular mechanisms involved in hair cell and hearing losses which can result from trauma generated during the process of cochlear implantation and the contributions of both the intrinsic and extrinsic cell death signaling pathways in producing these trauma/inflammation induced losses. Application of soft surgical techniques to conserve hearing and protect auditory sensory cells during the process of cochlear implantation surgery and insertion of the electrode array during the process of cochlear implantation are reviewed and discussed. The role of drug therapy and mode of drug delivery for the conservation of a cochlear implant patient's residual hearing is presented and discussed. Anat Rec, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Corticosteroid Therapy for Hearing and Balance Disorders
Authors: Trune Dennis R. , Canlon Barbara 
Published: October 2012

AbstractThis review addresses the current status of steroid therapies for hearing and vestibular disorders and how certain misconceptions may be undermining the efficacy in restoring normal ear function, both experimentally and clinically. Specific misconceptions addressed are that steroid therapy is not effective, steroid‐responsive hearing loss proves an underlying inflammatory problem in the ear, and steroids only have application to the hearing disorders listed below. Glucocorticoid therapy for hearing and balance disorders has been employed for over 60 years. It is recommended in cases of sudden hearing loss, Meniére's disease, immune‐mediated hearing loss, and any vestibular dysfunction suspected of having an inflammatory etiology. The predominant steroids employed today are dexamethasone, prednisone, prednisolone, and methylprednisolone. Despite years of use, little is known of the steroid responsive mechanisms in the ear that are influenced by glucocorticoid therapy. Furthermore, meta‐analyses and clinical study reviews occasionally question whether steroids offer any benefit at all. Foremost in the minds of clinicians is the immune suppression and anti‐inflammatory functions of steroids because of their efficacy for autoimmune hearing loss. However, glucocorticoids have a strong binding affinity for the mineralocorticoid (aldosterone) and glucocorticoid receptors, both of which are prominent in the ear. Because the auditory and vestibular end organs require tightly regulated endolymph and perilymph fluids, this ion homeostasis role of the mineralocorticoid receptor cannot be overlooked in both normal and pathologic functions of the ear. The function of the glucocorticoid receptor is to provide anti‐inflammatory and antiapoptotic signals by mediating survival factors. Anat Rec, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
The Anatomical and Physiological Framework for Vestibular Prostheses
Authors: Highstein Stephen M. , Holstein Gay R. 
Published: October 2012

AbstractThis article reviews the structure function of the vestibular system and its pathology with respect to requirements for the design and construction of a functional vestibular prosthesis. The ultimate goal of a vestibular prosthesis is to restore balance and equilibrium through direct activation of vestibular nerve fibers. An overview of the peripheral and central vestibular systems that highlights their most important functional aspects re: the design of a prosthesis is provided. Namely, the peripheral labyrinth faithfully transduces head motion and gravity in both the time and frequency domains. These signals are described in hopes that they may be prosthetically replicated. The peripheral and central connections of the vestibular nerve are also discussed in detail, as are the vestibular nuclei in the brainstem that receive VIIIth nerve innervation. Lastly, the functional effector pathways of the vestibular system, including the vestibulo‐ocular, vestibulo‐spinal, vestibulo‐colic, vestibulo‐autonomic, and vestibular efferent innervation of the labyrinth are reviewed.

Auditory Brainstem Implants: How Do They Work?
Authors: Vincent C. 
Published: October 2012

AbstractThis review covers the design, structure, and function of auditory brainstem implants. Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) are auditory prostheses initially designed to treat deafness in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). NF2 typically results in deafness due to disruption of the cochlear nerves. When the tumors are removed the auditory nerve is usually cut or nonfunctional anymore. In these cases, patients cannot benefit from peripheral devices such as cochlear implants (CI). Another cause of VIII nerve loss is bilateral temporal bone fracture. Worldwide, more than 500 persons have received an ABI after removal of the tumors that occur with NF2. More recently, some extensions of indications have been proposed to include subjects who would not benefit enough from a cochlear implant (i.e. cochlear ossification). The ABI is similar in design and function to a CI, except that the electrode is placed on the first auditory relay station in the brainstem, the cochlear nucleus (CN). The ABI electrode array is a small paddle that contains plate electrode contacts. The CN has not a single linear tonotopic organization from base to apex like the cochlea but different tonotopic subunits. The CN comprises multiple neuron types that are characterized by specific properties (morphology, regional distribution and cell‐membrane characteristics), synaptic input and responses to acoustic stimuli. As the ABI electrode array is placed along the surface of the CN, each electrode likely activates a variety of neuron types, possibly with different characteristic frequencies. Patients undergoing ABI have variable benefit with regard to sound and speech comprehension. For the majority of patients, this improvement is essentially obtained by an augmentation of lip reading performances. Speech comprehension without lip‐reading is not as good as with cochlear implants. Anat Rec, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Canalostomy as a Surgical Approach for Cochlear Gene Therapy in the Rat
Authors: Gassner Davina , Durham Dianne , Pfannenstiel Susanna C. , Brough Douglas E. , Staecker Hinrich 
Published: October 2012

AbstractThis article presents a unique approach for the delivery of gene therapy vectors into the cochlea of the laboratory rat. Mice and guinea pigs are established in vivo models for cochlear gene therapy each of which has distinct advantages and disadvantages. The rat has some of the molecular advantages of a mouse model combined with size advantages for surgical approaches. Vector delivery via cochleostomy or injection through the round window causes concomitant sensorineural hearing loss and is therefore not suitable for studies where the change in hearing is being followed. Compared to the mouse, the rat does not demonstrate easily recognizable landmarks that allow for use of the semicircular canal as an approach to the inner ear. We analyzed sagittal and coronal temporal bone sections of Long Evans rats and identified the bony entrance of the facial nerve as a crucial landmark for canalostomy. Auditory brainstem response and distortion product otoacustic emission measurements revealed minimal differences in the hearing threshold after adenovirus vector application when large volumes of vector were infused to the inner ear. Canalostomy and infusion of adenoviral vectors also resulted in temporary balance disturbance in the rat. Immunohistochemical assessment after delivery of a green fluorescent protein expressing vector showed significant GFP expression in the cochlea. Anat Rec, 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
