description: Στα πλαίσια της παρούσας διατριβής πραγματοποιήθηκε μια συνδυασμένη δομική, μαγνητική μανητοοπτική και γαλβανομαγνητική μελέτη μαγνητικών νανοδομημένων υλικών σε μορφή πολυστρωματικών υμενίων, που προέκυψαν από τον συνδυασμό των 3d μαγνητικών μετάλλων και 5d μη μαγνητικών μετάλλων. Ειδικότερα παρουσιάστηκαν τα συστήματα Ni/Pt, Co/Pt, Co/Au, CoCr/Pt, μέσω της μεθόδου ανάπτυξης με εξάτμιση από δέσμη ηλεκτρονίων. Το σύστημα Ni/Pt εμφάνισε άριστη πολυστρωματική δομή και τάση για κάθετη μαγνητική ανισοτροπία. Επιπλέον το σύστημα αυτό αποτέλεσε το σημείο αναφοράς για τη συνολική μελέτη του μαγνητοοπτικού φαινομένου σε πολυστρωματικές δομές. Το σύστημα Co/Au παρουσίασε πολύ καλή ποιότητα πολυστρωματικής διαμόρφωσης. Η ελάττωση στο πάχος των στρωμάτων Co και η αύξηση σε αυτών του Αu οδήγησε σε κάθετη μαγνητική ανισοτροπία. Υπήρξε επίσης ενισχυμένη μαγνητοοπτική απόκριση γύρω στα 3eV, εξαιτίας της επαγόμενης μαγνητικής ροπής του Au. Το σύστημα Co/Pt έδειξε ισχυρή κάθετη ανισοτροπία και μεγάλη μαγνητοοπτική απόκριση. Το σύστημα CoCr/Pt και ειδικά εξαιρετικά λεπτά δείγματα εμφάνισαν κάθετη μαγνητική ανισοτροπία. Τα δυο τελευταία συστήματα προτείνονται για το μελλοντικά μέσα μαγνητικής και μαγνητοοπτικής αποθήκευσης
description: A combined structural, magnetic, magneto-optic and galvanomagnetic study of magnetic nanocomposite materials in the form of multilayers was carried out in the frame work of the current Doctorate Thesis. More specifically the magnetic elements 3d were combined with the non magnetic metals and the system that were produced were Ni/Pt, Co/Pt, CoAu, CoCr/Pt. The Ni/Pt system showed excellent multilayer configuration. This system constituted the model system for the whole study of the magneto-optic phenomenon and its dependence from various parameters. The Co?Au system presented good quality of its multilayer structure and enhanced magneto-optic response at about 3eV. The last was caused by the presence of an induced magnetic moment of Au. The Co/Pt system showed strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and very large magnetoptic response. The CoCr/Pt system, and mainly the samples with extra thin layers shaved perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The 2 last systems are suggested for future magnetic and magnetooptic recording materials

description: Background: Myoclonus–dystonia is a condition that manifests predominantly as myoclonic jerks with focal dystonia. It is genetically heterogeneous with most mutations in the epsilon sarcoglycan gene (SGCE). In medically refractory cases, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been shown to provide marked sustainable clinical improvement, especially in SGCE-positive patients. We present two patients with myoclonus–dystonia (one SGCE positive and the other SGCE negative) who have the isolated myoclonus phenotype and had DBS leads implanted in the bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi). Methods: We review their longitudinal Unified Myoclonus Rating Scale scores along with their DBS programming parameters and compare them with published cases in the literature. Results: Both patients demonstrated complete amelioration of all aspects of myoclonus within 6–12 months after surgery. The patient with the SGCE-negative mutation responded just as well as the patient who was SGCE positive. High-frequency stimulation (130 Hz) with amplitudes greater than 2.5 V provided therapeutic benefit. Discussion: This case series demonstrates that high frequency GPi-DBS is effective in treating isolated myoclonus in myoclonus–dystonia, regardless of the presence of SGCE mutation.

description: In a mathematics workshop with $mn$ mathematicians from $n$ different areas, each area consisting of $m$ mathematicians, we want to create a collaboration network. For this purpose, we would like to schedule daily meetings between groups of size three, so that (i) two people of the same area meet one person of another area, (ii) each person has exactly $r$ meeting(s) each day, and (iii) each pair of people of the same area have exactly $λ$ meeting(s) with each person of another area by the end of the workshop. Using hypergraph amalgamation-detachment, we prove a more general theorem. In particular we show that above meetings can be scheduled if: $3 \ | \ rm$, $2 \ | \ rnm$ and $r \ | \ 3λ(n-1)\binom{m}{2}$. This result can be viewed as an analogue of Baranyai's theorem on factorizations of complete multipartite hypergraphs.

Neuroferritinopathy: Pathophysiology, Presentation, Differential Diagnoses and Management
Creators: name: Kumar, Niraj

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

description: Background: Neuroferritinopathy (NF) is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the ferritin light chain 1 (FTL1) gene leading to abnormal excessive iron accumulation in the brain, predominantly in the basal ganglia. Methods: A literature search was performed on Pubmed, for English-language articles, utilizing the terms iron metabolism, neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation, and NF. The relevant articles were reviewed with a focus on the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, differential diagnoses, and management of NF. Results: There have been nine reported mutations worldwide in the FTL1 gene in 90 patients, the most common mutation being 460InsA. Chorea and dystonia are the most common presenting symptoms in NF. There are specific features, which appear to depend upon the genetic mutation. We discuss the occurrence of specific mutations in various regions along with their associated presenting phenomenology. We have compared and contrasted the commonly occurring syndromes in the differential diagnosis of NF to guide the clinician. Discussion: NF must be considered in patients presenting clinically as a progressive movement disorder with variable phenotype and imaging evidence of iron deposition within the brain, decreased serum ferritin, and negative genetic testing for other more common movement disorders such as Huntington’s disease. In the absence of a disease-specific treatment, symptomatic drug therapy for specific movement disorders may be used, although with variable success.

description: Cratons are the most mature parts of the continents on Earth and can remain stable for billions of years. Cratonic keels may be destroyed, for which a prime example is the eastern North China craton (NCC), which was removed during the Mesozoic. However, the critical stable state of the keel and the destroying mechanism of the rigid and buoyant cratonic roots remain enigmatic. Here, rhenium-osmium and neodymium isotope datasets from the eastern NCC open up a possible approach to reveal its evolution prior to the destruction. Two Re (rhenium) -depletion model age peaks of the peridotite xenoliths entrained by Phanerozoic basalts reconcile the ages of the large igneous provinces (LIPs) of Yanliao (ca. 1.3 Ga) and Xuhuai (ca. 0.92 Ga), respectively. This indicates that the mantle lithosphere of the eastern NCC has undergone metasomatism and growth during the emplacement of the two LIPs. The Proterozoic LIPs probably produced buoyant mantle residues that were then captured beneath thinned lithosphere regions. Such igneous processes occur at a depth of ~100 km and may induce the formation of weak zones (e.g. palaeo-mid-lithosphere discontinuity) partially within the rigid mantle lithosphere. The palaeo-weak zones might be rheologically unstable structures and probably reduced the stability of the craton, presenting as foci for potential later keel destruction. This provides evidence that LIP event may be another key factor for the intra-cratonic mantle lithosphere destruction.
The formation of galaxy disks in a hierarchical universe

description: The formation of galactic discs and the efficiency of star formation within them are issues central to our understanding of galaxy formation. We have developed a detailed and versatile model of disc formation which combines the strengths of previous studies of isolated discs with those of hierarchical galaxy formation models. Disc structure is inferred from the distribution of angular momentum in hot halo gas and the hierarchical build-up of dark matter, leading to theoretically generated systems where the evolution of surface density, rotation, velocity dispersion, stability and metallicity is predicted for annular regions of width 20-100 pc. The model will be used to establish whether the accepted theory of large-scale structure formation in the universe is consistent with observed trends in the properties of disc galaxies. This first paper explicitly examines the importance of embedding such calculations within a merging hierarchy of dark matter haloes, finding that this leads to dramatically different formation histories compared to models in which discs grow in isolation. Different models of star formation are explored, and are found to have only a secondary influence on the properties of the resulting galaxy discs, the main governing factor being the infalling gas supply from the hot halo.

Expectations for parental and stepparental behaviour toward children
Creators: name: Lyons, Karen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study examined participants' expectations for parental and stepparental responsibilities with respect to child care. Seventy-nine female and seventy-five male participants completed the Parenting Expectations Questionnaire. Participants read a brief scenario about a first married family; a stepmother/biological father family; or a stepfather/biological mother family. They then assigned responsibility for 38 child care tasks on a 5-point scale from "man always" to "woman always". The general findings were: 1) participants assigned less responsibility to stepparents (stepmothers and stepfathers) for child care than they assigned to biological parents; 2) there was less consensus about appropriate "parental" behaviour for stepparents as compared to that for first married parents; and 3) participants with stepfamily experience assigned less responsibility to stepparents than did participants from first married families.

description: Background: Several publications have focused on accompanying non-motor symptoms (NMS) in essential tremor (ET) patients; however, it remains unclear if NMS are an intrinsic part of the disease or secondary phenomena. We present the results of several neuropsychiatric tests and their impact on quality of life (QoL) in community-dwelling patients with ET. Methods: Participants were recruited via a newspaper article about ET published in the local media and on the internet. All participants completed several standard neuropsychiatric tests, including those that assess QoL. To compare differences between cases and controls, Student’s t-tests with Bonferroni-Holm post hoc tests were performed. Spearman’s correlation coefficients were also calculated. Results: We enrolled 110 patients with definite or probable ET. Highly significant changes were observed for apathy, anxiety, and cognition and negatively impacted QoL. Most aberrations were independent of tremor severity and duration. Discussion: The significant neuropsychiatric deficits and reduced QoL demonstrate a degree of illness that appears to be a non-motor phenotype rather than a secondary effect of ET. In the future, NMS should carefully be explored in ET patients as they may have an impact on QoL and treatment.

Analytic solutions to the accretion of a rotating finite cloud towards a central object I. Newtonian approach

description: We construct a steady analytic accretion flow model for a finite rotating gas cloud that accretes material to a central gravitational object. The pressure gradients of the flow are considered to be negligible and so, the flow is ballistic. We also assume a steady flow and consider the particles at the boundary of the spherical cloud to be rotating as a rigid body, with a fixed amount of inwards radial velocity. This represents a generalisation to the traditional infinite gas cloud model described by Ulrich (1976). We show that the streamlines and density profiles obtained deviate largely from the ones calculated by Ulrich. The extra freedom in the choice of the parameters on the model can naturally account for the study of protostars formed in dense clusters by triggered mechanisms, where a wide variety of external physical mechanisms determine the boundary conditions. Also, as expected, the model predicts the formation of an equatorial accretion disc about the central object with a radius different from the one calculated by Ulrich (1976).

description: Although transfer learning is proven to be effective in computer vision and natural language processing applications, it is rarely investigated in forecasting financial time series. Majority of existing works on transfer learning are based on single-source transfer learning due to the availability of open-access large-scale datasets. However, in financial domain, the lengths of individual time series are relatively short and single-source transfer learning models are less effective. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate multi-source deep transfer learning for financial time series. We propose two multi-source transfer learning methods namely Weighted Average Ensemble for Transfer Learning (WAETL) and Tree-structured Parzen Estimator Ensemble Selection (TPEES). The effectiveness of our approach is evaluated on financial time series extracted from stock markets. Experiment results reveal that TPEES outperforms other baseline methods on majority of multi-source transfer tasks.
Clinical Spectrum of Stiff Person Syndrome: A Review of Recent Reports

description: Background: “Classic” stiff person syndrome (SPS) features stiffness, anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (anti-GAD) antibodies, and other findings. Anti-GAD antibodies are also detected in some neurological syndromes (such as ataxia) in which stiffness is inconsistently present. Patients with otherwise “classic” SPS may either lack anti-GAD antibodies or be seropositive for others. Hence, SPS cases appear to fall within a clinical spectrum that includes conditions such as progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus (PERM), which exhibits brainstem and autonomic features. We have compiled herein SPS-spectrum cases reported since 2010, and have segregated them on the basis of likely disease mechanism (autoimmune, paraneoplastic, or cryptogenic) for analysis. Methods: The phrases “stiff person syndrome”, “PERM”, “anti-GAD antibody syndrome”, and “glycine receptor antibody neurological disorders” were searched for in PubMed in January 2015. The results were narrowed to 72 citations after excluding non-English and duplicate reports. Clinical descriptions, laboratory data, management, and outcomes were categorized, tabulated, and analyzed. Results: Sixty-nine autoimmune, 19 paraneoplastic, and 13 cryptogenic SPS-spectrum cases were identified. SPS was the predominant diagnosis among the groups. Roughly two-thirds of autoimmune and paraneoplastic cases were female. Anti-GAD antibodies were most frequently identified, followed by anti-amphiphysin among paraneoplastic cases and by anti-glycine receptor antibodies among autoimmune cases. Benzodiazepines were the most commonly used medications. Prognosis seemed best for cryptogenic cases; malignancy worsened that of paraneoplastic cases. Discussion: Grouping SPS-spectrum cases by pathophysiology provided insights into work-up, treatment, and prognosis. Ample phenotypic and serologic variations are present within the categories. Ruling out malignancy and autoimmunity is appropriate for suspected SPS-spectrum cases.

Η φλεγμονή χαρακτηρίζεται από περιβρογχική διήθηση με λεμφοκύτταρα, ουδετερόφιλα και ηωσινόφιλα. Η στρατολόγηση των φλεγμονωδών κυττάρων ρυθμίζεται από χημειοκίνες και άλλους μεσολαβητές π.χ. ελαστάση. Σκοπός της μελέτης ήταν η διερεύνηση της σημασίας των επιπέδων της HNE και των χημειοκινών στην οξεία βρογχιολίτιδα. Μελετήθηκαν 105 παιδιά 1,5-12 μηνών που ταξινομήθηκαν σε 3 ομάδες(Α με RSV βρογχιολίτιδα, 13 με μη RSV βρογχιολίτιδα και Γ ομάδα ελέγχου). Μετρήθηκαν τα επίπεδα ΗΝΕ, Rantes, IE-8, MIP-1a και MCP-1 στο ρινικό έκκριμα και τον ορό όλων των βρεφών. Τα επίπεδα ΗΝΕ ήταν αυξημένα στα βρέφη με βρογχιολίτιδα τόσο στον ορό όσο και στο ρινικό έκκριμα. Τα επίπεδα των χημειοκινών IC-8, Rantes, MCR-1 ήταν αυξημένα στο ρινικό έκκριμα των βρεφών με βρογχιολίτιδα. Τα επίπεδα της HNG και των χημειοκινών δε σχετίζονται με τον κλινικό δείκτη αναπνευστικής δυσχέρειας
description: Over the past 35 years intensive efforts are made to elucidate the nature the nature of the inflammatory process in acute bronchiolitis. RSV is the most common cause in >80% of the cases. The inflammation in the lower airways is characterized by peribronchial lymphocyte infiltration, presence of neutrophiles and eosinophils. Recruitment of leukocytes is regulated by chemokines and other mediators, such as HNE. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of HNE and chemokine levels in infants with acute bronchiolitis. 105 infants aged 1,5-12 months consisted the subjects of this study and were divided in 3 groups(A:with RSV bronchiolitis, B:with non RSV bronchiolitis and C:control subjects). HNE levels and the chemokines Rantes, IC-8, MCP-1 and MIP-1a were evaluated in serum and nasal lavage in all subjects. HVE levels were elevated in infants with bronchiolitis in serum and nasal lavage. Chemokines Rantes, IC-8, MCP-1 levels were elevated in nasal lavage in infants with bronchiolitis. Rantes, IC-8, MCP-1 and MIP-1 as levels were elevated in serum of infants with bronchiolitis. Levels of HNE and chemokines did not correlate with the clinical score of severity of disease

description: Echelle spectra of 10 bright asteroids are presented and compared against an observed twilight spectrum and a computed Solar spectrum. Spectra covering a 2130 A spectral range centered on 5785 A are of high resolving power and high signal to noise ratio. So we focus on a comparison of detailed properties of spectral lines and not on albedo variations. It is shown that the normalized Solar and asteroid spectra are identical except for radial velocity (RV) shifts which can be predicted at the accuracy level of 1 m/s. So asteroids are proposed as new and extremely accurate radial velocity standards. Predicted and measured RVs of observed asteroids indeed match within limits of accuracy of the instrument. There are numerous absorption lines in the reflected Solar spectrum. This allows a direct mapping of the resolving power of a spectrograph between and along echelle spectral orders. So asteroid spectra can be used to test wavelength calibration and resolving power of spectrographs on the ground as well as in space, including the Gaia mission of ESA. All spectra are also given in an electronic form.

description: Planets form in young circumstellar disks called protoplanetary disks. However, it is still difficult to catch planet formation in-situ. Nevertheless, from recent ALMA/SPHERE data, encouraging evidence of the direct and indirect presence of embedded planets has been identified in disks around young stars: co-moving point sources, gravitational perturbations, rings, cavities, and emission dips or shadows cast on disks. The interpretation of these observations needs a robust physical framework to deduce the complex disk geometry. In particular, protoplanetary disk models usually assume the gas pressure scale-height given by the ratio of the sound speed over the azimuthal velocity $H/r = c_{s\rm }/v_{\rm k}$. By doing so, \textit{radiative} pressure fields are often ignored, which could lead to a misinterpretation of the real vertical structure of such disks. We follow the evolution of a gaseous disk with an embedded Jupiter mass planet through hydrodynamical simulations, computing the disk scale-height including radiative pressure, which was derived from a generalization of the stellar atmosphere theory. We focus on the vertical impact of the radiative pressure in the vicinity of circumplanetary disks, where temperatures can reach $\gtrsim 1000$ K for an accreting planet, and radiative forces can overcome gravitational forces from the planet. The radiation-pressure effects create a vertical optically thick column of gas and dust at the proto-planet location, casting a shadow in scattered light. This mechanism could explain the peculiar illumination patterns observed in some disks around young stars such as HD 169142 where a moving shadow has been detected, or the extremely high aspect-ratio $H/r \sim 0.2$ observed in systems like AB Aur and CT Cha.

Essential Tremor: What We Can Learn from Current Pharmacotherapy

description: Background: The pathophysiology of essential tremor, especially at the cellular level, is poorly understood. Although no drug has been specifically designed to treat essential tremor, several medications improve tremor, and others worsen it. Studying the mechanism of actions of these medications can help our understanding of tremor pathophysiology and contribute to future rational drug design. Methods: We reviewed literature, concentrating on mechanisms of action, of various medications that mitigate tremor. Results: Many medications have multiple mechanisms of actions, making simple correlations difficult. Medications that increase the duration of opening of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-A receptors are most consistently associated with tremor improvement. Interestingly, drugs that increase GABA availability have not been associated with improved tremor. Other mechanisms possibly associated with tremor improvement include antagonism of alpha-2 delta subunits associated with calcium channels, inhibition of carbonic anhydrase, and inhibition of the synaptic vesicle protein 2A. Drugs that block voltage-gaited sodium channels do not affect tremor. The ideal beta-adrenergic blocker requires B2 affinity (non-cardiac selective), has no sympathomimetic properties, does not require membrane stabilization properties, and may benefit from good central nervous system penetration. Discussion: To date, serendipitous observations have provided most of our understanding of tremor cellular physiology. Based on similarities to currently effective drugs or rational approximations and inferences, several currently available agents should be considered for tremor trials.

description: Based on a combination of cluster dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and density functional calculations, we calculated the angle-integrated spectral density in the layered $s=1/2$ quantum magnet TiOCl. The agreement with recent photoemission and oxygen K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy experiments is found to be good. Th e improvement achieved with this calculation with respect to previous single-site DMFT calculations is an indication of the correlated nature and low-dimensionality of TiOCl.

description: Background: We aimed to characterize the clinical and electrophysiological features of patients with slow orthostatic tremor. Case Report: The clinical and neurophysiological data of patients referred for lower limb tremor on standing were reviewed. Patients with symptomatic or primary orthostatic tremor were excluded. Eight patients were identified with idiopathic slow 4–8 Hz orthostatic tremor, which was associated with tremor and dystonia in cervical and upper limb musculature. Coherence analysis in two patients showed findings different to those seen in primary orthostatic tremor. Discussion: Slow orthostatic tremor may be associated with dystonia and dystonic tremor.

description: Engineered micro- and nanomechanical resonators with ultra-low dissipation constitute the ideal systems for applications ranging from high-precision sensing such as magnetic resonance force microscopy, to quantum transduction between disparate quantum systems. Traditionally, the improvement of the resonator's performance - often quantified by its Qf product (where Q is quality factor and f is frequency) - through nanomechanical engineering such as dissipation dilution and strain engineering, has been driven by human intuition and insight. Such an approach is inefficient and leaves aside a plethora of unexplored mechanical designs that potentially achieve better performance. Here, we use a computer-aided inverse design approach known as topology optimization to structurally design mechanical resonators with optimal performance of the fundamental mechanical mode. Using the outcomes of this approach, we fabricate and characterize ultra-coherent nanomechanical resonators with record-high Qf products, entering a quantum coherent regime where coherent oscillations are observed at room temperature. Further refinements to the model describing the mechanical system are likely to improve the Qf product even more. The proposed approach - which can be also used to improve phononic crystal and coupled-mode resonators - opens up a new paradigm for designing ultra-coherent micro- and nanomechanical resonators for cutting-edge technology, enabling e.g. novel experiments in fundamental physics (e.g. search for dark matter and quantum nature of gravity) and extreme sensing of magnetic fields, electric fields and mass with unprecedented sensitivities at room temperature.

description: Η μελέτη αυτή διαπραγματεύεται τη συμβολή του προγεννητικού ελέγχου στη διερεύνηση και αντιμετώπιση των όγκων της κοιλιάς του εμβρύου. Οι όγκοι αυτοί είναι ενδοπεροτιναϊκοί και εξωπεριτοναϊκοί, καλοήθεις και κακοήθεις, κυστικοί και συμπαγείς. Η μελέτη αφορούσε περιπτώσεις που εξετάστηκαν στην οκταετία 1997 εως και το 2005. Δεν ελέγχθηκαν περιπτώσεις στις οποίες δεν έγινε προγεννητικός έλεγχος. Επιπλέον, δεν συμπεριλάβαμε τις περιπτώσεις εκείνες στις οποίες έγινε διακοπή της κύησης, καθώς και εκείνες οι οποίες υποστραφηκαν πλήρως ενδομητρίως. Στη μελέτη μας βρήκαμε συνολικά 34 όγκους. Από το σύνολο των όγκων, 12 ήταν κυστικοί και 22 συμπαγείς. 20 ήταν καλοήθεις και 14 κακοήθεις. Βρέθηκαν συνολικά 11 άρρενα και 23 θήλεα. Οι συχνότεροι όγκοι ήταν 7 νευροβλαστώματα, 6 ιεροκκοκυγικά τερατώματα, 6 κύστεις ωοθηκών. Το ποσοστό της διαγνωστικής ακρίβειας του προγεννητικού ελέγχου ήταν 47%. Συμπερασματικά μπορούμε να πούμε ότι προγεννητικά διαγνώστηκαν όλοι οι όγκοι των ωοθηκών που σημαίνει ότι οι διεξάγοντες τον προγεννητικό έλεγχο επιμένουν στη διερεύνηση της περιοχής αυτής. Ο μεγαλύτερος αριθμός περιπτώσεων διαγνώστηκε στο 3ο τρίμηνο κατά την 30η εβδομάδα της κύησης. Πιο αξιόπιστος είναι ο έλεγχος μετά την 32η εβδομάδα της κύησης για την προετοιμασία για άμμεση αντιμετώπιση μετά τη γέννηση με σκοπό την καλύτερη πρόγνωση και την αποφυγή της άσκοπης διακοπής της κύησης
description: The purpose of this study is to determine the importance of prenatal control the diagnosis and treatment of fetal abdominal tumors. These tumors are intraperitoneal and retroperitoneal, beging and malignant, cysitc and solid. This study is examining cases that occured during on eight years period between 1997 and 2005. Cases that had not prenatal control were not included as well as cases that had a complete intrauterine recession. Also we did not included cases if the gestation was terminated. In our study we found 34 tumors. 12 were cystic and 22 were solid. 20 were benign and 14 were malignant. We found 11 males and 23 females. 16 tumors were detected prenatally with sonographic control. As a conclusion we can say that all ovarian tumors were detected prenatally which means that obstetricians are more concentrated at this anatomic area. Most of the tumors were detected at the 3rd cemester of gestation. A prenatal sonographic control after the 32nd week of gestation is reliable for the detection of tumors, the preparation of obstetricians, pediatric surgeons, neonatologists and oncologists which will have as a result the immediate treatment after birth which will lead to better prognosis

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.

Sources of Disability in Tourette Syndrome: Children vs. Adults
Creators: name: Kompoliti, Katie
Publisher: name: Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements
Year: 2016

description: Background: Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by tics and neuropsychiatric co-morbidities like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), among others. In many instances tics get better with age but this is not always true regarding the psychiatric co-morbidities. Methods: This manuscript reviews the disease-specific Quality of Life (QOL) instruments used to measure disability in TS and the existing literature on sources of functional impairment in children and adults with TS. Results: Traditionally, disability in TS has been recorded using objective measures. In recent years there has been a development of disease-specific instruments to measure subjectively the impact of the different aspects of TS on the patient's daily function. The differential impact of tics vs. the psychiatric co-morbidities in children with TS is an issue of debate in the existing literature. In adults with TS, the literature is scant, therefore the sources of disability in this group are even less defined compared to children. Discussion: As clinicians, we need to focus on determining the sources of disability in children and adults with TS so we can target our interventions successfully.

Alcohol-responsive Action Myoclonus of the Leg in Prostate Cancer: A Novel Paraneoplastic Syndrome?
Creators: name: Termsarasab, Pichet

Publisher: name: Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements
Year: 2015

description: Background: Paraneoplastic movement disorders in prostate cancer are rare, and to our knowledge paraneoplastic myoclonus has not previously been reported. Case Report: We report two men with adenocarcinoma of the prostate who developed isolated alcohol-responsive action myoclonus of one leg. Myoclonus was absent at rest but triggered by movement, standing, or walking. Evaluations excluded malignant invasion of the nervous system, and testing for commercial paraneoplastic antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid were unrevealing. Both patients experienced significant improvement with alcohol, and sodium oxybate was used in one patient with good initial benefit. Discussion: Alcohol-responsive leg myoclonus might be a novel paraneoplastic syndrome associated with prostate cancer. The nature of the syndrome and the source of the myoclonus are currently unknown.

description: We study radiative corrections localized in the fixed points of the orbifold for the field theory in six dimensions with two dimensions compactified on the $T_2/(Z_2\times Z_2')$ orbifold in a specific realistic model for low energy physics that solves the proton decay and neutrino mass problem. We calculate corrections to the masses of the lightest stable KK modes, which could be the candidates for the dark matter.
