description: The intracavity topologies of laser gravitational-wave detectors are the promising way to obtain sensitivity of these devices significantly better than the Standard Quantum Limit (SQL). The most challenging element of the intracavity topologies is the \emph{local meter} which has to monitor position of a small ($1\div10$ gram) local mirror and which precision defines the sensitivity of the detector. To overcome the SQL, the quantum variational measurement can be used in the local meter. In this method a frequency-dependent correlation between the meter back-action noise and measurement noise is introduced, which allows to eliminate the back-action noise component from the meter output signal. This correlation is created by means of an additional filter cavity. In this article the sensitivity limitations of this scheme imposed by the optical losses both in the local meter itself and in the filter cavity are estimated. It is shown that the main sensitivity limitation stems from the filter cavity losses. In order to overcome it, it is necessary to increase the filter cavity length. In a preliminary prototype experiment about 10 meter long filter cavity can be used to obtain sensitivity approximately $2\div3$ times better than the SQL. For future QND gravitational-wave detectors with sensitivity about ten times better than the SQL, the filter cavity length should be within kilometer range.

description: Recently, contrastive self-supervised learning has become a key component for learning visual representations across many computer vision tasks and benchmarks. However, contrastive learning in the context of domain adaptation remains largely underexplored. In this paper, we propose to extend contrastive learning to a new domain adaptation setting, a particular situation occurring where the similarity is learned and deployed on samples following different probability distributions without access to labels. Contrastive learning learns by comparing and contrasting positive and negative pairs of samples in an unsupervised setting without access to source and target labels. We have developed a variation of a recently proposed contrastive learning framework that helps tackle the domain adaptation problem, further identifying and removing possible negatives similar to the anchor to mitigate the effects of false negatives. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method adapts well, and improves the performance on the downstream domain adaptation task.

description: In the present paper we will investigate the relation between scalar-tensor theory and $f(R)$ theories of gravity. Such studies have been performed in the past for the metric formalism of $f(R)$ gravity; here we will consider mainly the Palatini formalism, where the metric and the connections are treated as independent quantities. We will try to investigate under which circumstances $f(R)$ theories of gravity are equivalent to scalar-tensor theory and examine the implications of this equivalence, when it exists.

description: Entity embeddings, which represent different aspects of each entity with a single vector like word embeddings, are a key component of neural entity linking models. Existing entity embeddings are learned from canonical Wikipedia articles and local contexts surrounding target entities. Such entity embeddings are effective, but too distinctive for linking models to learn contextual commonality. We propose a simple yet effective method, FGS2EE, to inject fine-grained semantic information into entity embeddings to reduce the distinctiveness and facilitate the learning of contextual commonality. FGS2EE first uses the embeddings of semantic type words to generate semantic embeddings, and then combines them with existing entity embeddings through linear aggregation. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness of such embeddings. Based on our entity embeddings, we achieved new sate-of-the-art performance on entity linking.

description: Η πολυεστιακή αθηροσκληρωτική νόσος(ΠΑΝ) είναι ένα κεφάλαιο το οποίο απασχολεί ιδιαίτερα τους κλινικούς ιατρούς τα τελευταία χρόνια. Σ'αυτή τη μελέτη διερευνήθηκε η συνύπαρξη της στεφανιαίας νόσου, της περιφερικής αγγειοπάθειας και της καρωτιδικής νόσου σε συμπτωματικούς ασθενείς που εισήχθησαν στο Γενικό Νοσοκομείο Λευκωσίας με προοπτικές εγχείρησης. Σε όλους τους ασθενείς διενεργήθηκε υπερηχογραφικός έλεγχοςτων καρωτίδων και αναίμακτη μελέτη με Doppler των αγγείων των κάτω άκρων. Οι ασθενείς με περιφερική αγγειοπάθεια και καρωτιδικές στενώσεις υποβλήθηκαν σε καρδιολογική δοκιμασία διαλογής. Η επίπτωση της πολυεστιακής αθηροσκληρωτικής νόσου βρέθηκε υψηλή(60,3% των ασθενών). Η νοσηρότητα των ασθενλων με πολυεστιακή νόσο είναι επίσης υψηλή και συσχετίζεται τόσο με τον αριθμό των ασθενειών που συνυπάρχουν όσο και με τη μόνο από την ύπαρξη της νόσου αλλά και από άλλες συνοδές παθήσεις. Επιπλέον, παράγοντες κινδύνου όπως ο σακχαρώδης διαβήτης και η υπέρταση εντοπίζονται με μεγαλύτερη συχνότητα. Η εφαρμογή δοκιμασιών διαλογής για την εντόπιση της ΠΑΝ ελαττώνει την περιεγχειρητική θνητότητα αλλά σε τελική ανάλυση η πρόγνωση των ασθενών με πολυεστιακή ισχαιμική παθολογία εξακολουθεί να επιβαρύνεται από την εμφάνιση καρδιαγγειακών επιπλοκών
description: Multifocal atherosclerotic disease(MAD) is an gaining a lot of attention by clinicians in the recent years, due to its impact on the morbility and mortality risks of vascular patients. The co-existence of coronary artery disease(CAD), peripheral arterial disease(PAD) and carotid stenosis(CS) is being investigated in this study, on a sample of 556 in-patients who were admitted to the Nicosia General Hospital in Cyprus. Patients suffering from CAD and PAD were subjected to echocolour doppler examination of the carotid vessels. Lower extremity doppler study was performed on all patients and cardiac risk screening on patients with PAD and CS. The prevalence of MAD in atherosclerotic patients, in comparison to that of patients with unifocal atherosclerotic disease, was evaluated, to conclude that the burden in the first group(MAD) was significantly higher, not only in relation to the number of clinically relevant diseases that co-exist, but also to the severity of these diseases. Performance status was negatively affected by the exostence of multifocal atherosclerotic disease and risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension were found of higher prevalence in multifocal than in unifocal atherosclerotic disease patients. Mid term prognosis of patients with MAD is aggravated due to the emergence of cardiovascular complications

description: We survey Hopf algebras and their generalizations. In particular, we compare and contrast three well-studied generalizations (quasi-Hopf algebras, weak Hopf algebras, and Hopf algebroids), and two newer ones (Hopf monads and hopfish algebras). Each of these notions was originally introduced for a specific purpose within a particular context; our discussion favors applicability to the theory of dynamical quantum groups. Throughout the note, we provide several definitions and examples in order to make this exposition accessible to readers with differing backgrounds.

description: Background: Cervical dystonia (CD) is a debilitating neurological disorder that may gravely affect a patient’s quality of life (QoL). Botulinum toxin treatment has been approved as a first-line treatment for this condition. This study aims to look at the efficacy and impact on the QoL of neu-botulinumtoxinA, a newer and cheaper botulinum toxin type A, in patients with CD. Methods: This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study. CD patients were recruited and evaluated for severity of CD using the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS), and for QoL using the Craniocervical Dystonia Questionnaire (CDQ-24), and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36) at baseline and 6 weeks after injection. Results: Twenty patients were recruited. Significant improvement was shown in part 1 and total TWSTRS score and total CDQ-24 scores. Analysis of individual items of the TWSTRS scale showed significant improvement in rotation, duration of CD, and work ability. Significant improvements in the QoL were also seen in some items of the stigma, emotional wellbeing, and energy/fatigue domains of the CDQ-24 and SF-36 questionnaires. Discussion: Neu-botulinumtoxinA is efficacious in treating CD symptoms and improving QoL of patients with CD. A larger, double-blinded study is needed to study the extent of improvements.

description: Faraday rotation provides a valuable tracer of magnetic fields in the interstellar medium; catalogs of Faraday rotation measures provide key observations for studies of the Galactic magnetic field. We present a new catalog of rotation measures derived from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey, covering a large region of the Galactic plane spanning 52 deg < l < 192 deg, -3 deg < b < 5 deg, along with northern and southern latitude extensions around l ~ 105 deg. We have derived rotation measures for 2234 sources (4 of which are known pulsars), 75% of which have no previous measurements, over an area of approximately 1300 square degrees. These new rotation measures increase the measurement density for this region of the Galactic plane by a factor of two.

description: Background: Hemichorea–hemiballism (HCHB) is a hyperkinetic movement disorder with features of both chorea and ballism occurring on the same side. Case report: We present a case of HCHB due to nonketotic hyperglycemia (NKH) that was the initial presentation of diabetes and was irreversible clinically even after 6 months of optimal blood sugar control. Discussion: Although HCHB due to hyperglycemia is a potentially reversible condition in the majority of patients, prolonged uncontrolled hyperglycemia may cause ischemic insult and persistent symptoms. Hyperglycemia should always be kept in the list of differentials while dealing with patients who are newly diagnosed with HCHB.

description: As a result of research on the distribution and syntaxonomic diversity of phytocenoses of the true (typical) steppe with dominance and subdominance of species fromthe genus Stipa L. in the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic, we identified as much as 316 associations of dominant classification that belong to 45 formations. Of these, 238 plant communities can be recommended for special protection; 78 are regionally rare, with sozophyte edificators acting as subdominants. A total of 274 rarity phytosystems have been registered in specially protected natural areas. The greatest diversity is characteristic for well-preserved feather grass communities of true steppes, being formations dominated by S. capillata L., S. dasyphylla (Czern. ex Lindem.) Trautv., S. grafiana Steven, S. lessingiana Trin. et Rupr., S. tirsa Steven, S. ucrainica P. Smirnov, S. zalesskii Wilensky. Plant communities from Stipeta grafianae and Stipeta lessingianae formations can be considered transitional to associations of the petrophytic steppe: they are found mainly on rather steep steppe slopes of northern exposure, where the parent rock are located close to the surface.

description: We have monitored a 3 deg2 area toward Serpens Main in the Pan-STARRS1 r, i, and z bands from 2016 April to September. Light curves of more than 11,000 stars in each band were obtained, and 143 variables have been identified. Among those, 119 variables are new discoveries, while 24 variables were previously known. We present variability classes and periods of 99 stars. Of these, 81 are located in the upper giant branch, displaying long periods, while the remaining 18 variables are pre-main-sequence objects with short periods. We also identify eight eclipsing binary systems, including the known binary V0623 Ser, and derive their physical parameters. According to a clustering analysis of Gaia DR2 stars in the observed field, there are 10 variable members in Serpens Main, where six members have been classified as young stellar objects in previous studies. Here we provide color-magnitude and color-color diagrams for these variables. The color variability of most variables in the color-magnitude diagrams produce the expected displacements, while the movements of cluster members point in different directions; this behavior may be associated with accretion spots or circumstellar disks.

description: Maintaining the preserved supersymmetry helps to find the effective Lagrangian on the BPS background in gauge theories with eight supercharges. As concrete examples, we take 1/2 BPS domain walls. The Lagrangian is given in terms of the superfields with manifest four preserved supercharges and is expanded in powers of the slow-movement parameter lambda. The O(lambda^0) gives the superfield form of the BPS equations, whereas all the fluctuation fields follow at O(lambda^1). The effective Lagrangian is given by the density of the K"ahler potential which emerges automatically from the lambda expansion making four preserved supercharges manifest. More complete account of our method and applications is given in hep-th/0602289 in which the case of non-Abelian vortices is also worked out.

description: Vertical packed columns are widely used in absorption, stripping and distillation processes. Flooding will occur in the vertical packed columns as a result of excessive liquid accumulation, which reduces mass transfer efficiency and causes a large pressure drop. Pressure drop measurements are typically used as the hydrodynamic parameter for predicting flooding. They are, however, only indicative of the occurrence of transition of the flow regime across the packed column. They offer limited spatial information to mass transfer packed column operators and designers. In this work, a new method using Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) is implemented for the first time so that real-time flow regime monitoring at different vertical positions is achieved in a countercurrent packed bed column using ECT. Two normalisation methods are implemented to monitor the transition from pre-loading to flooding in a column of 200 mm diameter, 1200 mm height filled with plastic structured packing. Liquid distribution in the column can be qualitatively visualised via reconstructed ECT images. A flooding index is implemented to quantitatively indicate the progression of local flooding. In experiments, the degree of local flooding is quantified at various gas flow rates and locations of ECT sensor. ECT images were compared with pressure drop and visual observation. The experimental results demonstrate that ECT is capable of monitoring liquid distribution, identifying flow regime transitions and predicting local flooding.

Publisher: name: Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements
Year: 2016

description: Background: In the past few decades, much has been learned about the pathophysiology of restless legs syndrome (RLS). Investigators have studied neuropathology, imaging, electrophysiology, and genetics of RLS, identifying brain regions and biological systems affected in RLS. This manuscript will review RLS pathophysiology literature, examining the RLS state through consideration of the neuroanatomy, then the biological, organ, and genetic systems. Methods: Pubmed (1966 to April 2016) was searched for the term “restless legs syndrome” cross-referenced with “pathophysiology,” “pathogenesis,” “pathology,” or “imaging.” English language papers were reviewed. Studies that focused on RLS in relation to another disease were not reviewed. Results: Although there are no gross structural brain abnormalities in RLS, widespread brain areas are activated, including the pre- and post-central gyri, cingulate cortex, thalamus, and cerebellum. Pathologically, the most consistent finding is striatal iron deficiency in RLS patients. A host of other biological systems are also altered in RLS, including the dopaminergic, oxygen-sensing, opioid, glutamatergic, and serotonergic systems. Polymorphisms in genes including BTBD9 and MEIS1 are associated with RLS. Discussion: RLS is a neurologic sensorimotor disorder that involves pathology, most notably iron deficiency, in motor and sensory brain areas. Brain areas not subserving movement or sensation such as the cingulate cortex and cerebellum are also involved. Other biological systems including the dopaminergic, oxygen-sensing, opioid, glutamatergic, and serotonergic systems are involved. Further research is needed to determine which of these anatomic locations or biological systems are affected primarily, and which are affected in a secondary response.

More Than Ataxia: Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders in Childhood Autosomal Recessive Ataxia Syndromes
Creators: name: Pearson, Toni S.
Publisher: name: Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements
Year: 2016

description: Background: The autosomal recessive ataxias are a heterogeneous group of disorders that are characterized by complex neurological features in addition to progressive ataxia. Hyperkinetic movement disorders occur in a significant proportion of patients, and may sometimes be the presenting motor symptom. Presentations with involuntary movements rather than ataxia are diagnostically challenging, and are likely under-recognized. Methods: A PubMed literature search was performed in October 2015 utilizing pairwise combinations of disease-related terms (autosomal recessive ataxia, ataxia–telangiectasia, ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 1 (AOA1), ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2 (AOA2), Friedreich ataxia, ataxia with vitamin E deficiency), and symptom-related terms (movement disorder, dystonia, chorea, choreoathetosis, myoclonus). Results: Involuntary movements occur in the majority of patients with ataxia–telangiectasia and AOA1, and less frequently in patients with AOA2, Friedreich ataxia, and ataxia with vitamin E deficiency. Clinical presentations with an isolated hyperkinetic movement disorder in the absence of ataxia include dystonia or dystonia with myoclonus with predominant upper limb and cervical involvement (ataxia–telangiectasia, ataxia with vitamin E deficiency), and generalized chorea (ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 1, ataxia-telangiectasia). Discussion: An awareness of atypical presentations facilitates early and accurate diagnosis in these challenging cases. Recognition of involuntary movements is important not only for diagnosis, but also because of the potential for effective targeted symptomatic treatment.

Modeling the fast optical transient SN 2019bkc/ATLAS19dqr with a central engine and implication for its origin

description: Modern wide-field high-cadence surveys have revealed the significant diversity of optical transient phenomena in their luminosity and timescale distributions, which led to the discovery of some mysterious fast optical transients (FOTs). These FOTs can usually rise and decline remarkably in a timescale of a few days to weeks, which are obviously much rapider than ordinary supernovae. SN 2019bkc/ATLAS19dqr is one of the fastest detected FOTs so far and, meanwhile, it was found to be un-associated with a host galaxy. These discoveries provide a good chance to explore the possible origins of FOTs. So, we model the light curves of SN 2019bkc in details. It is found that SN 2019bkc can be well explained by the thermal emission of an explosion ejecta that is powered by a long-lasting central engine. The engine could be a spinning-down millisecond magnetar or a fallback accretion onto a compact object. Combining the engine property, the mass of the ejecta, and the hostlessness of SN 2019bkc, we suggest that this FOT is likely to originate from a merger of a white dwarf and a neutron star.

description: Background: Hemichorea/hemiballism associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia is a well-recognized syndrome, but few case series have been reported in the literature. Case Report: We describe 20 patients with hemichorea/hemiballism associated with hyperglycemia (9 males and 11 females) with mean age of 67.8 years. Ten patients had a previous diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and one had type 1 diabetes mellitus. Six of them had documentation of poor diabetic control over at least the last 3 months. Nine patients had new-onset hyperglycemia with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus made after discharge. Seventeen patients had unilateral chorea/ballism, while three had bilateral chorea/ballism. Eighteen cases had striatal hyperdensities on computed tomography (CT) and/or hyperintense signals on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The putamen was affected in all cases, and the caudate nucleus was involved in nine. Discussion: Hemichorea/hemiballism associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia can be the presenting sign of diabetes mellitus in almost half of cases or can occur after a few months of poor glycemic control in patients with diagnosed diabetes. This case series is one of the largest to date and adds valuable information about clinical and neuroimaging features that are comparable with published data but also emphasize the role of adequate diabetes mellitus control.

description: We present the first systematic search for microlensing events with variability in their baselines using data from the third phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-III). A total of 137 candidates (88 new) was discovered toward the Galactic bulge. Among these, 21 have periodic oscillations in their baselines, 111 are irregular variables and 5 are potential long period detached eclipsing binaries. This is about 10% of the total number of constant baseline events. They are hence quite common and can be regarded as a new type of exotic events, which allow the determination of extra parameters of the events. We show that microlensing of variable stars may allow us to break the degeneracy between the blending parameter and magnification. We note that in some cases variability hidden in the baseline due to strong blending may be revealed in highly magnified events and resemble other exotic microlensing behavior, including planetary deviation. A new system (VEWS) for detecting ongoing variable baseline microlensing events is presented.

description: The burden of stomach cancer remains high in Hong Kong. We sought to evaluate the associations of age, period, and birth cohort with the changing trend in the incidence of stomach cancer and to provide projections through 2030. We performed an age-period-cohort analysis and projections up to 2030 using data from the Hong Kong Cancer Registry. Additionally, we used a population decomposition algorithm to assess the drivers in the number of incident cases of stomach cancer in Hong Kong. Among the 26,813 stomach cancer patients, from 1994 to 2018, the age-standardized incidence rate of stomach cancer decreased for both sexes. The incidence increased with age and was highest for those aged 85 years or older. Period relative risk (RR) showed a monotonic decreasing pattern throughout the study period for both sexes before 2010. Cohort RR for males was monotonically decreasing but changed little after the 1967-1971 birth cohort. In contrast, cohort RR for females declined in the pre-1927-1931 birth cohort but slowed down since. It is projected that there will be 906 male patients and 954 female patients in 2030. Decomposition analysis suggested that population growth and aging were associated with substantial changes in the number of incident cases of stomach cancer in Hong Kong. Both period and cohort risk of developing stomach cancer in Hong Kong have slowed down or plateaued. Our study demonstrates that population aging and growth are the main drivers of the increased number of incident cases of stomach cancer in Hong Kong.

description: Background: Lesions in the Guillain–Mollaret triangle or dentate-rubro-olivary pathway may lead to hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD), a secondary trans-synaptic degeneration of the inferior olivary nucleus. HOD is usually associated with palatal tremor and rarely with Holmes tremor. Bilateral HOD is a very unusual condition and very few cases are reported. Case Report: We report here two cases of bilateral HOD after two different vascular lesions located at the decussation of superior cerebellar peduncles, thus impairing both central tegmental tracts and interrupting bilaterally the dentate-rubral-olivary pathway. Interestingly, both developed bilateral Holmes tremor but not palatal tremor. Discussion: Lesions in some of the components in the Guillain–Mollaret triangle may develop Holmes tremor with HOD and without palatal tremor. Magnetic resonance imaging is an invaluable tool in these cases. Better understanding of the pathways in this loop is needed.

description: We take a new look at $^{6}\textrm{He}$ halo nucleus and set up a halo effective field theory at low energies to calculate the charge form factor of ${}^{6}\textrm{He}$ system with resonant P-wave interaction. P-wave Lagrangian has been introduced and the charge form factor of ${}^{6}\textrm{He}$ halo nucleus has been obtained at Leading-Order. In this study, the mean-square charge radius of ${}^{6}\textrm{He}$ nucleus relative to ${}^{4}\textrm{He}$ core and the root-mean-square (r.m.s) charge radius of ${}^{6}\textrm{He}$ nucleus have been estimated as $\langle r_{E}^{2}\rangle=1.408\; \textrm{fm}^{2}$ and $\langle r_{E}^{2}\rangle_{{}^{6}He}^{\frac{1}{2}}=2.058 \;\textrm{fm}$, respectively. We have compared our results with the other available theoretical and experimental data.

Year: 2016

description: Background: T-type calcium channel activation has been postulated to underlie rhythmicity in the olivo-cerebellar system that is implicated in ET. Ethosuximide reduces T-type calcium currents and can suppress tremor in two animal models of ET. We explored the effects of ethosuximide in subjects with ET in an open-label trial using both clinical scales and accelerometric recordings measures. We initially planned to conduct the trial with 15 patients, but due to lack of efficacy and a high incidence of adverse effects, the trial was stopped after seven patients had participated. Methods: Seven patients diagnosed with ET were included in the study. The ethosuximide dose was 500 mg daily (BID). The main outcome measures were: 1) tremor clinical rating scale (TCRS) score, 2) accelerometric recordings, and 3) self-reported disability scale score. Results: Five patients completed the study, and two dropped out due to adverse effects. There were no significant changes in clinical scores in motor task performance (TCRS 1+2), daily living activities (TCRS 3), or in the patients’ subjective assessment (TCRS 4) and global appraisal. There were no differences observed for accelerometry data or disability scale scores. Anxiety, nervousness, headache, and dizziness were reported by two patients while on ethosuximide, causing them to stop the trial. No patient preferred to continue ethosuximide treatment. Discussion: The results of our exploratory study suggest that ethosuximide is not an effective treatment for ET.

Studies of a sperm acrosomal antigen recognized by HS-63 monoclonal antibody
Creators: name: Liu, Ming-Sun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A sperm specific and species conserved monoclonal antibody (HS-63) was shown to inhibit in vitro fertilization of mouse oocytes and human sperm penetration to zona-free hamster ova. The sperm antigen (SA-63) which reacts with HS-63 was found to be localized on the sperm acrosome. Following sperm capacitation, this antigen becomes exposed and is shed after the acrosome reaction. SA-63 may be involved in the sperm acrosome reaction during the initial fertilization process. Sperm antigen (SA-63) from mouse (MSA-63) was purified from mouse testes with soluble and detergent extraction procedures followed by immunoaffinity chromatography. The purified MSA-63 antigen was shown to be a group of proteins with a size ranging from 25 Kd to 50 Kd and pIs of about 4.2 when analyzed by two dimensional gel electrophoresis. MSA-63 antigen may be associated with actins in its native form. A proteolytic activity was found in the solution of purified MSA-63 preparation. Purified MSA-63 was used for immunization of mice and rabbits. Following successive immunizations, antisera of high titres were raised and reacted specifically with sperm acre-some. The isoimmune sera from immunized mice exhibited significant inhibition on in vitro fertilization of mouse oocytes. Complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) fragments encoding the MSA-63 were cloned from a mouse testis cDNA library by using an immunoscreening method with rabbit antisera against MSA-63 as the detecting probe. When a specific cDNA probe was used for Northern blot analysis, an mRNA of 1.5 Kb in size was detected only in the adult mouse testis, but not in any other somatic tissues. By Southern blot analysis, it was also demonstrated that the gene encoding for SA-63 protein is conserved among different mammalian species. The location of SA-63 antigen gene was determined to be on human chromosome 11 when analyzed with a blot of a human-hamster somatic cell hybrid panel. By DNA sequence analysis, a protein of 28 Kd in size was deduced from the MSA-63 cDNA. The amino acid sequences of trypsin-digested peptide fragments of MSA-63 were used to verify that deduced amino acid sequence from the cDNA. The recombinant fusion proteins containing MSA-63 protein fragment were produced in E. coli and used to immunize female mice. Similar to the original HS-63 monoclonal antibody, the antisera thus produced reacted only with the sperm acrosome and revealed significant inhibition of the in vitro fertilization of mouse oocytes. In the developing mouse testis, the expression of MSA-63 gene was found to be post-meiotic. Protein and mRNA of MSA-63 were not produced until day 20 after birth.

description: We present a theoretical study of the curvature-induced radiation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagating around bends at metal-dielectric interfaces. We explain qualitatively how the curvature leads to distortion of the phase front, causing the fields to radiate energy away from the metal-dielectric interface. We then quantify, both analytically and numerically, radiation losses and energy transmission efficiencies of SPPs propagating around bends with varying radii- as well as sign-of-curvature.

description: Background: Acquired neurogenic stuttering has been considered a fairly uncommon clinical occurrence; speech-activated myoclonus is a rare entity that can mimic stuttering and is caused by a wide array of etiologies. Case Report: Here we report a patient with myoclonus–dystonia syndrome (MDS), due to an identified disease-causing mutation, who displayed speech-activated myoclonus mimicking stuttering. Discussion: In MDS, myoclonus has only infrequently been reported to affect speech. This case further expands the spectrum of conditions causing the rare clinical phenomenon of speech-activated myoclonus.

Cerebellar Dysfunction and Ataxia in Patients with Epilepsy: Coincidence, Consequence, or Cause?

description: Basic epilepsy teachings assert that seizures arise from the cerebral cortex, glossing over infratentorial structures such as the cerebellum that are believed to modulate rather than generate seizures. Nonetheless, ataxia and other clinical findings in epileptic patients are slowly but inevitably drawing attention to this neural node. Tracing the evolution of this line of inquiry from the observed coincidence of cerebellar atrophy and cerebellar dysfunction (most apparently manifested as ataxia) in epilepsy to their close association, this review considers converging clinical, physiological, histological, and neuroimaging evidence that support incorporating the cerebellum into epilepsy pathology. We examine reports of still controversial cerebellar epilepsy, studies of cerebellar stimulation alleviating paroxysmal epileptic activity, studies and case reports of cerebellar lesions directly associated with seizures, and conditions in which ataxia is accompanied by epileptic seizures. Finally, the review substantiates the role of this complex brain structure in epilepsy whether by coincidence, as a consequence of deleterious cortical epileptic activity or antiepileptic drugs, or the very cause of the disease.
