description: Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a rapidly progressive inflammatory neurological disease. Underlying autoantibodies can bind to neuronal surfaces and synaptic proteins resulting in psychiatric symptoms, focal neurological signs, autonomic dysfunction and cognitive decline. Early and effective treatment is mandatory to reduce clinical symptoms and to achieve remission. Therapeutic apheresis, involving both plasma exchange (PE) and immunoadsorption (IA), can rapidly remove pathogenic antibodies from the circulation, thus representing an important first-line treatment in AE patients. We here review the most relevant studies regarding therapeutic apheresis in AE, summarizing the outcome for patients and the expanding clinical spectrum of treatment-responsive clinical conditions. For example, patients with slowly progressing cognitive impairment suggesting a neurodegenerative dementia can have underlying autoantibodies and improve with therapeutic apheresis. Findings are encouraging and have led to the first ongoing clinical studies assessing the therapeutic effect of IA in patients with anti-neuronal autoantibodies and the clinical presentation of dementia. Therapeutic apheresis is an established and well tolerated option for first-line therapy in AE and, potentially, other antibody-mediated central nervous system diseases.

description: Phylum NEMATODA Potts, 1932: diagnosis
Known commonly as nematodes, eelworms, threadworms or roundworms, members of the Phylum Nematoda are probably the most abundant multicellular animals on earth. Free-living species occur in terrestrial, fresh-water, brackish or marine environments. Parasitic species (facultative or obligate) live in association with plants, or with invertebrate and vertebrate animals, including humans. Life cycles of nematodes parasitic in animals or humans may be direct or involve two or more hosts. Usually unsegmented, round or ovoid in cross section, and tapered at both ends, nematodes range from less than one millimetre to over eight metres long. Female adults are usually larger than male adults. The anterior end is radially symmetrical but most organs are bilaterally symmetrical. A non-cellular cuticle, secreted by syncytial hypodermis, is shed four times during ontogeny. The hypodermis usually has four cords (chords): one dorsal, one ventral, and two lateral. Body-wall musculature one layer thick, longitudinal only. Pseudocoelom derived from embryonic blastocoel. Various external sensillae and ornamentations, including papillae, setae, amphids, phasmids, and annulations present or absent. Ganglia are associated with a circumpharyngeal nerve ring. Usually four major longitudinal nerves are present: one ventral, one dorsal, and at least one pair lateral. Mouth anterior, the anus at or near the posterior end. In some parasitic nematodes the pharynx is transformed into a glandular organ (stichosome), or mid-gut into a reserve organ (trophosome). In some nematodes the oesophagus is divided into an anterior muscular portion and a posterior glandular portion. The excretory-secretory system is glandular or tubular, a ventral pore opening near the anterior end [this system is referred to as the excretory system/pore/duct/cell throughout the rest of this part of the Guide]. Most nematodes are dioecious, some hermaphroditic or parthenogenetic. Most are oviparous, some ovoviviparous. Females usually have two ovaries, though there may be from one to six or more, and the female pore opens ventrally. The male system, usually with two testes, opens with anus into cloaca. Male tail curved or broadened into a fan-shaped bursa usually with one or two chitinized spicules; spicules sometimes absent. During copulation spicule or spicules enter the female pore, and amoeboid sperm are transferred.

description: We combined a spin-resolved photoemission spectrometer with a high-harmonic generation (HHG) laser source in order to perform spin-, time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (STARPES) experiments on the transition metal dichalcogenide bulk WTe$_2$, a possible Weyl type-II semimetal. Measurements at different femtosecond pump-probe delays and comparison with spin-resolved one-step photoemission calculations provide insight into the spin polarization of electrons above the Fermi level in the region where Weyl points of WTe$_2$ are expected. We observe a spin accumulation above the Weyl points region, that is consistent with a spin-selective bottleneck effect due to the presence of spin polarized cone-like electronic structure. Our results support the feasibility of STARPES with HHG, which despite being experimentally challenging provides a unique way to study spin dynamics in photoemission.

description: We consider a connected undirected graph $G(n,m)$ with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges. A $k$-dominating set $D$ in $G$ is a set of nodes having the property that every node in $G$ is at most $k$ edges away from at least one node in $D$. Finding a $k$-dominating set of minimum size is NP-hard. We give a new synchronous distributed algorithm to find a $k$-dominating set in $G$ of size no greater than $\lfloor n/(k+1)\rfloor$. Our algorithm requires $O(k\log^*n)$ time and $O(m\log k+n\log k\log^*n)$ messages to run. It has the same time complexity as the best currently known algorithm, but improves on that algorithm's message complexity and is, in addition, conceptually simpler.

description: Ecto-nucleotidase triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-2 (NTPDase2) is an ecto-enzyme that is expressed on portal fibroblasts in the liver that modulates P2 receptor signaling by regulating local concentrations of extracellular ATP and ADP. NTPDase2 has protective properties in liver fibrosis and may impact bile duct epithelial turnover. Here, we study the role of NTPDase2 in acute liver injury using an experimental model of acetaminophen (APAP) intoxication in mice with global deletion of NTPDase2. Acute liver toxicity was caused by administration of acetaminophen in wild type (WT) and NTPDase2-deficient (Entpd2 null) mice. The extent of liver injury was compared by histology and serum alanine transaminase (ALT). Markers of inflammation, regeneration and fibrosis were determined by qPCR). We found that Entpd2 expression is significantly upregulated after acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity. Entpd2 null mice showed significantly more necrosis and higher serum ALT compared to WT. Hepatic expression of IL-6 and PDGF-B are higher in Entpd2 null mice. Our data suggest inducible and protective roles of portal fibroblast-expressed NTPDase2 in acute necrotizing liver injury. Further studies should investigate the relevance of these purinergic pathways in hepatic periportal and sinusoidal biology as such advances in understanding might provide possible therapeutic targets.

description: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are currently one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. Inflammation is crucial in the disease progression, having a substantial impact on various determinants in AAAs development. Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an innovative imaging modality, enabling the highly sensitive detection of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), suitable as surrogate marker for molecular targeting of vascular inflammation. For this study, Apolipoprotein E-deficient-mice underwent surgical implantation of osmotic minipumps with constant Angiotensin II infusion. After 3 and 4 weeks respectively, in-vivo-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ex-vivo-MPI and ex-vivo-magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS) were performed. The results were validated by histological analysis, immunohistology and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. MR-angiography enabled the visualization of aneurysmal development and dilatation in the experimental group. A close correlation (R = 0.87) with histological area assessment was measured. Ex-vivo-MPS revealed abundant iron deposits in AAA samples and ex-vivo histopathology measurements were in good agreement (R = 0.76). Ex-vivo-MPI and MPS results correlated greatly (R = 0.99). CD68-immunohistology stain and Perls’-Prussian-Blue-stain confirmed the colocalization of macrophages and MNPs. This study demonstrates the feasibility of ex-vivo-MPI for detecting inflammation in AAA. The quantitative ability for mapping MNPs establishes MPI as a promising tool for monitoring inflammatory progression in AAA in an experimental setting.

description: Objective: Comorbidities and comedications are important factors influencing optimal therapy because people are living longer with HIV infection. This study describes the long-term comorbidity profile and treatment burden among people with HIV-1 infection. Methods: This retrospective study included Medicaid claims data from patients with ≥1 antiretroviral (ARV) claim between 2016 and 2017 (most recent claim defined the index date), ≥1 HIV diagnosis within 1 year before index, age ≥18 years at first HIV diagnosis and <65 years at index, ≥12 months of continuous eligibility before index, and no history of HIV-2 infection. Comorbidities, concomitant medication use, and pill burden were assessed in the 4 years before index. Analyses were stratified by patient age and treatment experience. Results: Among 3456 patients, the mean (standard deviation [SD]) age was 47.1 (10.4) years; the majority were black (55%) and men (63%). In general, the prevalence of comorbidities increased from the fourth year to the first year before index and included cardiovascular disease (28–40%), hypertension (24–37%), hyperlipidemia (12–17%), and asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (13–19%). Concomitant medication use corresponding to these comorbidities slightly increased over time. In the year before index, mean (SD) daily pill burden was 2.1 (1.4) for ARVs and 5.9 (5.9) for non-ARVs. Older age and prior treatment experience were associated with higher rates of comorbidities and greater pill burden. Conclusions: In people with HIV infection, comorbidities and concomitant medication use increased with age, supporting considerations for streamlined ARV regimens highlighted in treatment guidelines.

description: Systematic, large-scale testing of asymptomatic subjects is an important strategy in the management of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. In order to increase the capacity of laboratory-based molecular SARS-CoV-2 testing, it has been suggested to combine several samples and jointly measure them in a sample pool. While saving cost and labour at first sight, pooling efficiency depends on the pool size and the presently experienced prevalence of positive samples. Here we address the question of the optimum pool size at a given prevalence. We demonstrate the relation between analytical effort and pool size and delineate the effects of the target prevalence on the optimum pool size. Finally, we derive a simple-to-use formula and table that allow laboratories performing sample pooling to assess the optimum pool size at the currently experienced target prevalence rate.

description: Magnetic encoders currently provide accurate positioning information by reading periodic patterns with equally spaced structures or bits. As this technology evolves to fulfill industrial demands for cheaper and more accurate systems, variations of this concept with non-periodic and non-predetermined patterns emerge. In this work, we take the first step towards the development of such devices using equally sized bits with different separations. We show magnetic scans of 1000 μm wide and 2000 Å thick CoCrPt structures with separations between 63 and 3000 μm, obtained with tunnel magnetoresisistive sensors. A theoretical model to describe the magnetic field created by these structures is also proposed, which matches the trend of the experimental signals. We also show that there is a spatial resolution loss for reading distances higher than a threshold that depends on the minimum feature size of the sample.

description: Investigation of quasar emission line properties and relationships between spectral parameters is important for understanding the physical mechanisms that originate inside different regions of the active galactic nuclei. In this paper, we investigate the optical spectral parameters of type 1 quasars taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 Quasar Catalog (arXiv:1006.5178 [astro-ph.CO]). Spectral parameters, such are equivalent widths and full widths at half maximum of both narrow and broad lines are taken into account. We perform the analysis of correlation matrix and principal component analysis of our sample. We obtain that the narrow line Baldwin effect is significant enough and deserves further investigation. We provide the correlation coefficients and slope values for Baldwin effect in several narrow lines.

description: Background: The aim of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome of revascularization therapy in traumatized permanent incisors to determine whether this approach could be implemented into clinical routine. Methods: A total of 16 traumatized incisors (either avulsion or severe luxation/intrusion) with open apices (> 1 mm) that underwent revascularization following a standardized protocol were analyzed with a mean follow-up of 22 months. Radiographs and clinical parameters (such as root length, pulp space, dentin wall width, apical foramen, alveolar bone loss, ankylosis/mobility, supra−/infraposition, discoloration, probing depth) were compared pre- and postoperatively and statistically analyzed. Results: Over the follow-up period, 81.3% of the teeth survived revascularization and regained sensitivity, while 18.7% failed, as they had to be extracted due to serious root resorption. Regarding radiographic outcomes a significant difference could only be found in the decrease of apical foramina (p = 0.04). The other parameters showed no significant difference between pre- and postoperative measurements. More than half of the teeth (56.3%) developed root resorptions and 31.3% displayed signs of ankylosis and 92.9% developed discolorations during follow-up. However, 85.7% of the teeth maintained the bone level and outcomes of mobility showed a significant solidification. Conclusions: Revascularization is a promising approach for the treatment of immature incisors to regain sensitivity and to enhance apical closure and at least to maintain alveolar bone in terms of a socket preservation. Further studies have to be performed to determine ideal conditions (type of trauma, age, width of apical foramen) for a revascularization.

description: We present plane-parallel and spherical LTE and NLTE atmospheric models of a variety of stellar parameters of the red giant star Arcturus (alpha Boo, HD124897, HR5340) and study their ability to fit the measured absolute flux distribution. Our NLTE models include tens of thousands of the strongest lines in NLTE, and we investigate separately the effects of treating the light metals and the Fe group elements Fe and Ti in NLTE. We find that the NLTE effects of Fe group elements on the model structure and flux distribution are much more important than the NLTE effects of all the light metals combined, and serve to substantially increases the violet and near UV flux level as a result of NLTE Fe over-ionization. Both the LTE and NLTE models predict significantly more flux in the blue and UV bands than is observed. We find that within the moderately metal-poor metallicity range, the effect of NLTE on the overall UV flux level decreases with decreasing metallicity. These results suggest that there may still be important UV opacity missing from the models. We find that models of solar metallicity giants of similar spectral type to Arcturus fit well the observed flux distributions of those stars from the red to the near UV band. This suggests that the blue and near UV flux discrepancy is metallicity dependent, increasing with decreasing metallicity.

description: The solution of an extended Riemann problem is used to provide the internal boundary conditions at a junction when simulating one-dimensional flow through an open channel network. The proposed approach, compared to classic junction models, does not require the tuning of semi-empirical coefficients and it is theoretically well-founded. The Riemann problem approach is validated using experimental data, two-dimensional model results and analytical solutions. In particular, a set of experimental data is used to test each model under subcritical steady flow conditions, and different channel junctions are considered, with both continuous and discontinuous bottom elevation. Moreover, the numerical results are compared with analytical solutions in a star network to test unsteady conditions. Satisfactory results are obtained for all the simulations, and particularly for Y-shaped networks and for cases involving variations in channels' bottom and width. By contrast, classic models suffer when geometrical channel effects are involved.

description: Gapped excitation spectra of Andreev states are studied in one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) normal systems in superconducting contacts subject to a parallel magnetic field. In the ballistic regime, a specific interplay between magnetic field spin splitting and the effect of a screening supercurrent is found to preserve time-reversal symmetry for certain groups of Andreev states remaining gapped despite the presense of the magnetic field. In 1D wires such states can lead to a fractional thermal magnetoconductance equal to half of the thermal conductance quantum. In 2D systems the thermal magnetoconductance is also predicted to remain suppressed well below the normal-state value in a wide range of magnetic fields.

description: After the theoretical prediction that SmB$_6$ is a topological Kondo insulator, there has been an explosion of studies on the SmB$_6$ surface. However, there is not yet an agreement on even the most basic quantities such as the surface carrier density and mobility. In this paper, we carefully revisit Corbino disk magnetotransport studies to find those surface transport parameters. We first show that subsurface cracks exist in the SmB$_6$ crystals, arising both from surface preparation and during the crystal growth. We provide evidence that these hidden subsurface cracks are additional conduction channels, and the large disagreement between earlier surface SmB$_6$ studies may originate from previous interpretations not taking this extra conduction path into account. We provide an update of a more reliable magnetotransport data than the previous one (Phys. Rev. B 92, 115110) and find that the orders-of-magnitude large disagreements in carrier density and mobility come from the surface preparation and the transport geometry rather than the intrinsic sample quality. From this magnetotransport study, we find an updated estimate of the carrier density and mobility of 2.71$\times$10$^{13}$ (1/cm$^2$) and 104.5 (cm$^{2}$/V$\cdot$sec), respectively. We compare our results with other studies of the SmB$_6$ surface. By this comparison, we provide insight into the disagreements and agreements of the previously reported angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and magnetotorque quantum oscillations measurements.

description: Objective: To explore health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and assess preferences for medical treatment attributes to obtain information of the relative importance of the different attributes in a Danish population with ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods: We used data from an online survey collected in March 2018 among people with self-reported UC. A total of 302 eligible respondents answered the HRQoL questionnaires (EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) and the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ)), and 212 also completed the discrete choice experiment (DCE). The probability of choosing an alternative from a number of choices in the DCE was estimated using a conditional logit model. Results: The respondents had an average SIBDQ score of 4.5 and an HRQoL score of 0.77, applying the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. HRQoL correlated with disease severity, and the respondents had lower HRQoL than did a gender- and age-matched subset of the Danish population. The most important medical treatment attribute was efficacy within eight weeks. Additionally, respondents stated a preference for avoiding taking steroids, for fast onset of effect and for oral formulations. Conclusions: HRQoL correlates with disease severity, and patients with UC have lower HRQoL than the general population. The most important treatment attribute was efficacy, but patients also would like to avoid steroids, value fast onset of effect and prefer oral formulations.

description: An attempt is made in the published article to use a hypothetical “sulfide and steel half-cell” for the rapid determination of the concentration of hydrated sulfide-ion. The potential of such an half-cell was defined as an electromotive force (EMF or voltage, V) in combination with a silver chloride half-cell (comparisons). A linear relationship was obtained between the sulfide content and the EMF of the above element. Some results on the selectivity of the half-cell under consideration were presented. The temperature dependence of the potential expressed through EMF of the latter is obtained.

description: Main memories play an important role in overall energy consumption of embedded systems. Using conventional memory technologies in future designs in nanoscale era causes a drastic increase in leakage power consumption and temperature-related problems. Emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies offer many desirable characteristics such as near-zero leakage power, high density and non-volatility. They can significantly mitigate the issue of memory leakage power in future embedded chip-multiprocessor (eCMP) systems. However, they suffer from challenges such as limited write endurance and high write energy consumption which restrict them for adoption in modern memory systems. In this article, we present a convex optimization model to design a 3D stacked hybrid memory architecture in order to minimize the future embedded systems energy consumption in the dark silicon era. This proposed approach satisfies endurance constraint in order to design a reliable memory system. Our convex model optimizes numbers and placement of eDRAM and STT-RAM memory banks on the memory layer to exploit the advantages of both technologies in future eCMPs. Energy consumption, the main challenge in the dark silicon era, is represented as a major target in this work and it is minimized by the detailed optimization model in order to design a dark silicon aware 3D Chip-Multiprocessor. Experimental results show that in comparison with the Baseline memory design, the proposed architecture improves the energy consumption and performance of the 3D CMP on average about 61.33 and 9 percent respectively.

description: Patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (ps-iPSCs) and their differentiated cell types are a powerful model system to gain insight into mechanisms driving early developmental and disease-associated regulatory networks. In this study, we use ps-iPSCs to gain insights into Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), which represents the most common cyanotic heart defect in humans. iPSCs were generated and further differentiated to cardiomyocytes (CMs) using standard methods from two well-characterized TOF patients and their healthy relatives serving as controls. Patient-specific expression patterns and genetic variability were investigated using whole genome and transcriptome sequencing data. We first studied the clonal mutational burden of the derived iPSCs. In two out of three iPSC lines of patient TOF-01, we found a somatic mutation in the DNA-binding domain of tumor suppressor P53, which was not observed in the genomic DNA from blood. Further characterization of this mutation showed its functional impact. For patient TOF-02, potential disease-relevant differential gene expression between and across cardiac differentiation was shown. Here, clear differences at the later stages of differentiation could be observed between CMs of the patient and its controls. Overall, this study provides first insights into the complex molecular mechanisms underlying iPSC-derived cardiomyocyte differentiation and its transcriptional alterations in TOF.
