description: In the early medieval west, patronate, as adapted from Roman law, was a fundamental category in determining the legal status of freedmen. In many cases it entailed a basic set of obligations. In an increasing number of situations, however, the patron became an ecclesiastical institution, since slaves and freed persons were often given to churches and monasteries. As ecclesiastical institutions regarded their patronal rights over freed persons as part of inalienable church property, the patronal relationship became permanent and inheritable. In Eastern Francia (the Rhineland and beyond) this transformed ecclesiastical freedmen into religiously defined social groups with potentially distinct aims, religious tasks, and organizational structures, and a shared notion of freedom. From the Carolingian period onward, it even became attractive to enter voluntarily into this status. It is argued here that with its underlying network of socio-religious relations, patronate over ecclesiastical freedmen and censuales can be better understood when considered as an element of a ‘temple society’.
An investigation on copper-based and MXene-based planar antenna sensors for hazardous substance detection

description: Hazardous aqueous liquids and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)s could cause severe health and environmental problems. Long exposure to hazardous aqueous liquids and VOCs could cause skin, lung, liver and kidney problems and cancers. Thus, to prevent these hazards, working personnel require using personal protective equipment (PPE) in hazardous industrial environments. Lately, detecting VOCs and hazardous solutions in an environment and on protective suits has become of the highest importance for personnel safety. Previously, wireless microwave technology has demonstrated its application in VOCs and hazardous liquids sensing, owing to its ease of fabrication, low cost, and real-time response. These features highlight wireless microwave sensors as a promising candidate for use in sectors where human intervention is limited. Nonetheless, there is little evidence on developing hazardous solutions and VOC sensing antenna structures. This thesis presents an innovative approach using antennas to sense hazardous aqueous liquids and VOCs. Two planar antenna sensors were designed, fabricated and analyzed for hazardous solutions and VOC sensing applications. The initial studies were performed to evaluate the performance of an antenna sensor in detecting hazardous aqueous liquids on the surface of a superhydrophobic fabric, representing a PPE, where the designed antenna sensor operated at the frequency of 3.2 GHz. Water droplets replicating hazardous aqueous liquids were drop-cast on the fabrics to investigate the fabric-embedded antenna sensor’s performance, while a secondary transceiver antenna communicated with the fabric-embedded antenna sensor. It was observed that the liquid’s presence on the PPE caused a frequency shift in the transmitted signal where this shift in the frequency was used as a criterion for the sensing application. Additionally, a MXene-based antenna sensor was developed and investigated for wireless VOC and humidity sensing applications. The MXene-based antenna sensor sensed different VOCs (e.g., Acetone, Isopropyl alcohol, Ethanol, and Methanol) and their concentrations. Furthermore, a receiver antenna was located at a distance of 1.4 meters to communicate with the MXene-based antenna sensor and collect sensing data. It was observed that a change in the humidity or VOC concentration causes a frequency shift in the antenna sensor’s response. The results of these studies demonstrated the efficiency of using antenna sensors for detecting the presence of hazardous aqueous liquids on the superhydrophobic fabric and MXene-based antenna sensors in detecting VOCs in hazardous environments.

description: Predictive behavior analysis allows prediction of the (human) behavior based on the analysis of historical data. Efficient approaches for predictive behavior analysis are available for scenarios with structured processes (e.g., based on ERP systems). The prediction of behavior becomes an obstacle when unstructured (decision making) processes underlie the scenario. Scenarios with unstructured processes can be found in smart environments logging sensor (event) streams such as e.g., Smart Home or Connected Cars. No efficient solutions exist to identify abnormal behavior (anomalies) in such smart environments. To provide a solution for anomaly detection in unstructured processes we suggest crossing process engineering with deep learning. Methods from process engineering allow identifying deviations while deep learning improves the robustness of anomalie detection and prediction. This conjunction is a promising approach in order to find an efficient solution.

description: The shape and the dynamics of reversals of the magnetic field in a turbulent dynamo experiment are investigated. We report the evolution of the dipolar and the quadrupolar parts of the magnetic field in the VKS experiment, and show that the experimental results are in good agreement with the predictions of a recent model of reversals: when the dipole reverses, part of the magnetic energy is transferred to the quadrupole, reversals begin with a slow decay of the dipole and are followed by a fast recovery, together with an overshoot of the dipole. Random reversals are observed at the borderline between stationary and oscillatory dynamos.

The crystallization of hard disks induced by a temperature gradient

description: While uniform temperature has no effect on equilibrium properties of hard-core systems, its gradient might substantially change their behaviour. In particular, in hard-disk system subject to temperature difference $ΔT$ disks are repelled from the hot boundary of the system and accumulate at the cold one. Using event-driven molecular dynamics simulations we show that for sufficiently large $ΔT$ or coverage ratio $ρ^*$, crystal forms at the cold boundary. In this spatially inhomogeneous system a significant decrease of diffusivity of disks clearly marks the stationary interface between liquid and crystal. Such a behaviour is also supported through calculation of the radial distribution function and the bond order parameter. Simulations show that for this nonequilibrium system the equipartition of energy holds and velocity obeys the Boltzmann distribution.

Stringy KLT relations, global symmetries, and E_7(7) violation

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study consequences of the Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) relations applied to tree amplitudes in toroidal compactifications of string theory to four dimensions. The closed string tree amplitudes with massless external states respect a global SU(4)xSU(4) symmetry, which is enhanced to the SU(8) R-symmetry of N=8 supergravity in the field theory limit. Our analysis focuses on two aspects: (i) We provide a detailed account of the simplest SU(8)-violating amplitudes. We classify these processes and derive explicit superamplitudes for all local 5- and 6-point operators with SU(4)xSU(4) symmetry at order alpha'^3. Their origin is the dilatonic operator exp(-6 phi) R^4 in the closed-string effective action. (ii) We expand the 6-point closed string tree amplitudes to order alpha'^3 and use two different methods to isolate the SU(8)-singlet contribution from exp(-6 phi) R^4. This allows us to extract the matrix elements of the unique SU(8)-invariant supersymmetrization of R^4. Their single-soft scalar limits are non-vanishing. This demonstrates that the N=8 supergravity candidate counterterm R^4 is incompatible with continuous E_7(7) symmetry. From the soft scalar limits, we reconstruct to quadratic order the SU(8)-invariant function of scalars that multiplies R^4, and show that it satisfies the Laplace eigenvalue equation derived recently from supersymmetry and duality constraints.

description: Purpose: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a common cause for end-stage renal disease that can recur in the graft after kidney transplantation. The incidence of FSGS recurrence is reported in up to 47% of patients, predisposing those to possible poorer transplantation outcomes. Hence, we examined the incidence of FSGS recurrence and the effect on graft outcome in our patient cohort of living donor kidney transplantations (LDKT). Patients and Methods: We analyzed 194 adult patients who received a LDKT between 2011 and 2017 of which 22 (11%) had FSGS as underlying disease. Demographic data and clinical outcomes, especially regarding recurrence of FSGS, were evaluated. Results: FSGS recurrence was identified in three (14%) patients within three months after transplantation, of whom two patients (9%) lost their graft. There was no significant difference in graft survival comparing FSGS to other reasons for end-stage renal disease. Conclusion: Incidence of FSGS recurrence in the present patient cohort was within the range reported in the literature and comparatively low. Our data support LDKT as a treatment option in patients with end-stage renal disease due to FSGS.

description: In this thesis, the first measurement of longitudinal spin asymmetries of muon production in W±/Z boson decays in longitudinally polarized proton-proton collisions at √s = 500 GeV at forward/backward rapidity regions. These rapidities were unexplored kinematic regions before this study including all other W±/Z decay channels. The above rapidity regions are crucial for determining quark and anti-quark polarized PDFs, especially in W- →μ− case, as Aμ−L at large |η| regions directly constrains ∆ ̄u(x) and ∆d(x).
Uncertainty-based assessment of hip joint segmentation and 3D ultrasound scan adequacy in paediatric dysplasia measurement using deep learning
Creators: name: Kannan, Arunkumar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) - a condition characterized by hip joint instability, is one of the most common hip disorders in newborns. Clinical practice for diagnosis remains reliant on manual measurement of hip joint features from 2D Ultrasound (US) scans, a process plagued with high inter/intra operator and scan variability. Recently, 3D US was shown to be markedly more reliable with deeply-learned image features effectively used to localize and measure anatomical bone landmarks. However, standard Neural Network (NN) provide no means for assessing the reliability of computed results, a limitation that hampers deployment in clinical settings. In this thesis, we aim to improve the trustworthiness and reliability of deep-learning based DDH diagnostic system, addressing two components: uncertainty and calibration of NN. We propose interpretable uncertainty measures that allow for measuring hip joint segmentation reliability and quantifying scan adequacy in clinical DDH assessments from 3D US. Our approach measures variability of estimates generated from a Monte-Carlo (MC) dropout-based deep network optimized for hip joint localization. Results demonstrate US scans with lower dysplasia metric variability are strongly associated with those labelled as clinically adequate by a human expert. In segmentation tasks, quantifying levels of confidence can provide meaningful additional information to aid clinical decision making. We propose to quantify confidence in segmentation that incorporates voxel-wise uncertainty into the loss function used in the training regime. For ilium and acetabulum segmentation, we report mean Dice score of 81% when trained with voxel-wise uncertainty loss vs. 76% with cross-entropy loss. Recent works proposed Bayesian frameworks to quantify confidence in the segmentation process but the confidence measures tend to be miscalibrated. We propose a non-Bayesian-based system to calibrate the confidence values, in order to reduce over-confident and under-confident predictions. We show deep ensembles optimized with compounded loss achieve low NLL of 11% and Brier score of 3% producing calibrated confidence estimates. Our findings suggest that the uncertainty quantification may improve clinical workflow acting as a quality control check on DL based analysis. This in turn may improve overall reliability of the DDH diagnostic process and the prospects of adoption in clinical settings.

description: Background: Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems have been shown to be safe and effective in reducing hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia but are not universally available, accessible, or affordable. Therefore, user-driven open-source AID systems are becoming increasingly popular. Objective: This study aims to investigate the motivations for which people with diabetes (types 1, 2, and other) or their caregivers decide to build and use a personalized open-source AID. Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted to assess personal motivations and associated self-reported clinical outcomes. Results: Of 897 participants from 35 countries, 80.5% (722) were adults with diabetes and 19.5% (175) were caregivers of children with diabetes. Primary motivations to commence open-source AID included improving glycemic outcomes (476/509 adults, 93.5%, and 95/100 caregivers, 95%), reducing acute (443/508 adults, 87.2%, and 96/100 caregivers, 96%) and long-term (421/505 adults, 83.3%, and 91/100 caregivers, 91%) complication risk, interacting less frequently with diabetes technology (413/509 adults, 81.1%; 86/100 caregivers, 86%), improving their or child's sleep quality (364/508 adults, 71.6%, and 80/100 caregivers, 80%), increasing their or child's life expectancy (381/507 adults, 75.1%, and 84/100 caregivers, 84%), lack of commercially available AID systems (359/507 adults, 70.8%, and 79/99 caregivers, 80%), and unachieved therapy goals with available therapy options (348/509 adults, 68.4%, and 69/100 caregivers, 69%). Improving their own sleep quality was an almost universal motivator for caregivers (94/100, 94%). Significant improvements, independent of age and gender, were observed in self-reported glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)), 7.14% (SD 1.13%; 54.5 mmol/mol, SD 12.4) to 6.24% (SD 0.64%; 44.7 mmol/mol, SD 7.0; P

description: We present the analysis result of a gravitational binary-lensing event OGLE-2005-BLG-018. The light curve of the event is characterized by 2 adjacent strong features and a single weak feature separated from the strong features. The light curve exhibits noticeable deviations from the best-fit model based on standard binary parameters. To explain the deviation, we test models including various higher-order effects of the motions of the observer, source, and lens. From this, we find that it is necessary to account for the orbital motion of the lens in describing the light curve. From modeling of the light curve considering the parallax effect and Keplerian orbital motion, we are able to measure not only the physical parameters but also a complete orbital solution of the lens system. It is found that the event was produced by a binary lens located in the Galactic bulge with a distance $6.7\pm 0.3$ kpc from the Earth. The individual lens components with masses $0.9\pm 0.3\ M_\odot$ and $0.5\pm 0.1\ M_\odot$ are separated with a semi-major axis of $a=2.5 \pm 1.0$ AU and orbiting each other with a period $P=3.1 \pm 1.3$ yr. The event demonstrates that it is possible to extract detailed information about binary lens systems from well-resolved lensing light curves.

description: Purpose: Nesfatin-1 is produced in various tissues of the body including the hypothalamus. Neuroprotective properties of the neuropeptide hormone Nesfatin-1 were recently described. The aim of the study was to analyze the molecule Nesfatin-1 as a possible biomarker in POAG with neuroprotective properties pointing out the retinal-hypothalamic axis as target site in POAG and to obtain a molecular signature of cytokines in POAG as neuroinflammatory processes are a key factor of glaucoma development. Methods: In this study, n=35 patients with moderate and advanced POAG (mean age 65.0y, IOP 13.9 ± 3.0mmHg) and n=35 healthy controls (mean age 51.6y, IOP 14.3 ± 2.7mmHg) were included. Clinical parameters including IOP, cup to disc ratio (CDR), glaucoma medication and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) were recorded. Plasma was collected for NUCB2/nesfatin-1 measurement using a Nesfatin-1 ELISA and for detection of 13 inflammatory cytokines using a multiplex bead-based immunoassay (MagPix). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to adjust for confounding factors. Results: Sex-independent or sex-dependent variables showed no significant differences in the Nesfatin-1 level (p>0.05). As a trend, an increase in NUCB2/nesfatin-1 in male glaucoma patients was found. Increased concentrations of 11 cytokines (GM-CSF, Interferon-γ, Interleukin-1β, IL-2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12 and TNF-α) were detected in POAG. The female glaucoma patients demonstrated elevated cytokine concentrations compared to male patients. NUCB2/nesfatin-1 showed a significant correlation to IL-2 and IL-13 levels in POAG. Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed no difference in NUCB2/nesfatin-1 level between POAG and healthy controls after adjusting for sex and age (all p>0.05). Conclusion: As a trend, male POAG patients showed increased plasma NUCB2/nesfatin-1 levels. We further found inflammation as contributing factor to the pathogenesis of glaucoma, with a greater inflammatory response in women.

Specifically, the low-field electron mobility and saturation velocity are examined for different substrates (SiC, SiO2, and HfO2) in comparison to the intrinsic case. While the results show that the low-field mobility can be substantially reduced by the introduction of surface polar phonon scattering, corresponding degradation of the saturation velocity is not observed for all three substrates at room temperature. It is also found that surface polar phonons can influence graphene electrical resistivity even at low temperature, leading potentially to inaccurate estimation of the acoustic phonon deformation potential constant.

description: Introduction: An advance directive (AD) is a written legal document in which a person can express wishes and preferences for medical treatment for the moment when that person is no longer able to make medical decisions because of a serious illness or injury. While ADs have emerged in public, it is unclear, how many adults in Germany have completed an AD, and frequencies differ among different patient cohorts and medical settings. The aim of this study was to evaluate how many patients visiting a trauma emergency room (ER) in an academic teaching hospital had completed an AD. Furthermore, patient characteristics were compared between patients who had completed an AD and those who had not completed an AD. Methods: Patients with a traumatic injury or disease who attended the ER of an academic teaching hospital in the period from October 2015 to March 2016 (n = 499) were surveyed for completion rates of ADs. Results: Prior to their visit to the ER, 12.8% of the included patients possessed a completed AD. Patients with a completed AD had a higher age (median age: 54 (IQR: 34-66) vs. 35 (IQR: 25-50) p<0.001) and were less often living in an urban residential location (UR) (UR: 23.5% vs. 39.4%, p=0.029). Groups did not differ between sex (p=0.115), frequencies of high school graduates (p=0.482), and possession of a private health insurance (p=0.072), disability insurance (p=0.291), or an accident insurance (p=0.790). Conclusion: Completion rates of ADs remain low among patients visiting an ER of an academic teaching hospital in Germany. Increasing age but not factors such as sex, educational background, or insurance status were associated with a higher frequency of completed ADs.

Evaluation of assorted apparel waste as a reinforcement in wood ash treated road subgrades
Creators: name: Rahman, Saadman Sakib
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The textile industry accounts for the increasing volume of debris in the landfills ensued by the dynamic trend of the global fashion industry. The voluminous waste is responsible for extensive environmental degradation which has led experts to introduce sustainable ways to promote its circular economy. A potential application can be the stabilization of highway subgrades. Cement is generally used as a chemical stabilizer to improve the engineering performance of subgrades which also has a massive carbon footprint. Thus, resurfaced wood ash is used in the study as an effective alternative to cement for stabilizing weak subgrades. Moreover, fiber reinforcement using cementitious materials is a well-known topic among researchers in geotechnical engineering. Hence, this study evaluated a novel application of assorted pre-consumer apparel waste as a reinforcing element in wood ash-treated subgrade. In this study, an optimized mix design of soil-ash-textile (SAT) geo-composites was formulated by varying the fabric aspect ratio, content, and mixing technique. The design was optimized based on the compaction and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test results. Later, the optimum combination was subjected to a splitting tensile strength (STS) and direct shear tests to determine the indirect tensile strength and shearing behavior, respectively. This study also looked closely at the microstructural behavior, elemental composition, and leachate properties of the optimized SAT geo-composite to evaluate its structural integrity and environmental impacts. The results from the UCS and STS studies showed a strength gain of 170% and 87.5%, respectively. Outcomes of the direct shear test displayed a drop in the friction angle, although there were improvements in the post-peak strength retention behavior. Microstructural exploration helped decipher the reasons behind the improvement in inter-particle bonding due to the reinforcing effect, while spectroscopies highlighted no major change in the wood ash-soil chemical reactions due to the presence of textile waste. Leachate toxicity analysis unveiled a major reduction in the concentration of the constituents due to the downcycled application in contrast to traditional disposal. The findings of the study can help provide practical guidelines on this application, negating the carbon footprint of the traditional stabilization practices, serving as a cleaner alternative to landfilling.

description: Background: Smartphone-based apps represent a major development in health care management. Specifically in headache care, the use of electronic headache diaries via apps has become increasingly popular. In contrast to the soaring volume of available data, scientific use of these data resources is sparse. Objective: In this analysis, we aimed to assess changes in headache and migraine frequency, headache and migraine intensity, and use of acute medication among people who showed daily use of the headache diary as implemented in the freely available basic version of the German commercial app, M-sense. Methods: The basic version of M-sense comprises an electronic headache diary, documentation of lifestyle factors with a possible impact on headaches, and evaluation of headache patterns. This analysis included all M-sense users who had entered data into the app on a daily basis for at least 7 months. Results: We analyzed data from 1545 users. Mean MHD decreased from 9.42 (SD 5.81) at baseline to 6.39 (SD 5.09) after 6 months (P

description: In the framework of the topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) models, we study the productions of a single top or bottom quark associated with a scalar in γ-p collision, which proceed via the subprocesses cγ-> tπ_t^0, cγ-> t h_t^0 and cγ-> bπ^+_t mediated by the anomalous top or bottom coupling tcπ_t^0, tch_t^0 and bcπ_t^+. These productions, while extremely suppressed in the Standard Model, are found to be significantly enhanced in the large part of the TC2 parameter space, especially the production via cγ-> bπ^+ can have a cross section of 100 fb, which may be accessible and allow for a test of the TC2 models.

description: Background: Clinical outcomes in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) vary across different regions. Objective: To describe clinical profiles in Japanese and German NMOSD patients. Methods: Medical records of aquaporin-4-immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) positive NMOSD patients from Japan (n = 54) and Germany (n = 38) were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The disability status was similar between both cohorts, although Japanese patients had a longer disease duration (13.3 ± 11.1 vs. 8.1 ± 6.9 years, p = 0.018) but similar relapse rates. Optic neuritis and myelitis were the most frequent attacks in both cohorts. Brain attacks occurred more frequently in Japanese patients (40.7% vs. 15.8%, p = 0.020). The time from disease onset (median [interquartile range] 2.3 [0.3-10.1] vs. 0.6 [0.2-1.9] years, p = 0.009) and the number of attacks (2.5 [1-7] vs. 2 [1-3], p = 0.047) until start of the first immunotherapy were higher in the Japanese cohort. Rituximab was the most common drug in the German cohort (52.6%) and not given in the Japanese cohort (p

description: Human faces can convey socially relevant information in various ways. Since the early detection of such information is crucial in social contexts, socially meaningful information might also have privileged access to awareness. This is indeed suggested by previous research using faces with emotional expressions. However, the social relevance of emotional faces is confounded with their physical stimulus characteristics. Here, we sought to overcome this problem by manipulating the relevance of face stimuli through classical conditioning: Participants had to learn the association between different face exemplars and high or low amounts of positive and negative monetary outcomes. Before and after the conditioning procedure, the time these faces needed to enter awareness was probed using continuous flash suppression, a variant of binocular rivalry. While participants successfully learned the association between the face stimuli and the respective monetary outcomes, faces with a high monetary value did not enter visual awareness faster than faces with a low monetary value after conditioning, neither for rewarding nor for aversive outcomes. Our results tentatively suggest that behaviorally relevant faces do not have privileged access to awareness when the assessment of the faces' relevance is dependent on the processing of face identity, as this requires complex stimulus processing that is likely limited at pre-conscious stages.

description: Thrust measurements were performed on a coil made of YBa2Cu3O7-d coated conductor acting as the excitation system of a single-sided linear synchronous motor. The superconducting coil was a single pancake in the shape of a racetrack with 100 turns, the width and effective lengths were 42 mm and 84 mm, respectively. The stator was made of conventional copper wire. At 77 K and a gap of 10 mm, with an operating direct current of I_DC=30 A for the superconducting coil and alternating current of I_AC=9 A for the stator coils, thrust of 24 N was achieved. With addition of an iron core, thrust was increased by 49%. With addition of an iron back plate, thrust was increased by 70%.

description: We describe a method to upper bound the quantum query complexity of Boolean formula evaluation problems, using fundamental theorems about the general adversary bound. This nonconstructive method can give an upper bound on query complexity without producing an algorithm. For example, we describe an oracle problem which we prove (non-constructively) can be solved in $O(1)$ queries, where the previous best quantum algorithm uses a polylogarithmic number of queries. We then give an explicit $O(1)$-query algorithm for this problem based on span programs.

description: The search for mesons with non-quark-antiquark (exotic) quantum numbers has gone on for nearly thirty years. There currently is experimental evidence of three isospin one states, the $π_{1}(1400)$, the $π_{1}(1600)$ and the $π_{1}(2015)$. For all of these states, there are questions about the identification of these state, and even if some of them exist. In this article, we will review both the theoretical work and the experimental evidence associated with these exotic quantum number states. We find that the $π_{1}(1600)$ could be the lightest exotic quantum number hybrid meson, but observations of other members of the nonet would be useful.

description: The temperature-independent effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) have been controversial for decades. Here, we critically analyze the available literature on non-thermal effects of radiofrequency (RF) and microwave EMF. We present a literature review of preclinical and clinical data on non-thermal antiproliferative effects of various EMF applications, including conventional RF hyperthermia (HT, cRF-HT). Further, we suggest and evaluate plausible biophysical and electrophysiological models to decipher non-thermal antiproliferative membrane effects. Available preclinical and clinical data provide sufficient evidence for the existence of non-thermal antiproliferative effects of exposure to cRF-HT, and in particular, amplitude modulated (AM)-RF-HT. In our model, transmembrane ion channels function like RF rectifiers and low-pass filters. cRF-HT induces ion fluxes and AM-RF-HT additionally promotes membrane vibrations at specific resonance frequencies, which explains the non-thermal antiproliferative membrane effects via ion disequilibrium (especially of Ca²+) and/or resonances causing membrane depolarization, the opening of certain (especially Ca²+) channels, or even hole formation. AM-RF-HT may be tumor-specific owing to cancer-specific ion channels and because, with increasing malignancy, membrane elasticity parameters may differ from that in normal tissues. Published literature suggests that non-thermal antiproliferative effects of cRF-HT are likely to exist and could present a high potential to improve future treatments in oncology.

description: Background: Childhood trauma (CT) is associated with altered brain anatomy. These neuroanatomical changes might be more pronounced in individuals with a psychiatric disorder. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) are more prevalent in individuals with a history of CT. Objective: In this study, we examined limbic and total brain volumes in healthy women with and without a history of CT and in females with PTSD or BPD and a history of CT to see whether neuroanatomical changes are a function of psychopathology or CT. Method: In total, 128 women (N = 70 healthy controls without CT, N = 25 healthy controls with CT, N = 14 individuals with PTSD, and N = 19 individuals with BPD) were recruited. A T1- weighted anatomical MRI was acquired from all participants for Freesurfer-based assessment of total brain, hippocampus, and amygdala volumes. Severity of CT was assessed with a clinical interview and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. Group differences in hippocampal and amygdala volumes (adjusted for total brain volume) and total brain volume (adjusted for height) were characterized by analysis of covariance. Results: Volume of the total brain, hippocampus, and amygdala did not differ between the four groups (p > .05). CT severity correlated negatively with total brain volume across groups (r = −0.20; p = .029). Conclusions: CT was associated with reduced brain volume but PTSD or BPD was not. The association between CT and reduced brain volume as a global measure of brain integrity suggests a common origin for vulnerability to psychiatric disorders later in life.
