A gut check at the doctor (2017)

Have you ever been curious to find out which microbes live inside your intestinal tract (otherwise known as your gut)? Our gut is full of microbes that are intricately connected to many physiological processes, and these communities vary between persons or as a result of changes in our diet, lifestyle or health. Changes in these microbial communities are associated with certain diseases, and the analysis of the composition of our gut microbiome can be used as a clinical tool by medical professionals.
Robust multi-view correspondence of noisy 2D pointsusing relaxation (2000)

An efficient ghost removal algorithm for reliably extracting correspondence information for 2D points from several views using epipolar constraints is proposed. The point matching relations are modelled using a weighted k-partite graph and a globally convergent iterative algorithm is used to extract reliable maximum cliques from the graph using probabilistic relaxation labelling. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Conditioned taste aversion as a function of age in mature male rats (1980)

Experimental groups of young mature (90-120 days), mature (365-395 days), and aged (730-760 days) Fischer-344 rats were allowed to drink a saccharin solution followed by lithium chloride toxicosis initiated at one of three intervals, either 15, 60, or 240 minutes. Control groups were given saline placebos according to the same schedule. In a preference test conducted 48 hours after conditioning, there was little evidence of age differences in the acquisition of a saccharin aversion. Age differences were noted in the extinction of the aversion which was tested by monitoring preference over a period of 32 days of continuous access to saccharin and water. Older animals tended to show greater resistance to extinction.
The Role of Pili and Capsule in the Pathogenesis of Neonatal Infection with Escherichia coli Kl (1983)

The role of pili and capsule was studied in neonatal infection with Escherichia coli K1. E coli strains were selectively cultured into three phases: mannose-sensitive (MS) piliated, non-mannose-sensitive (NMS) piliated, and nonpiliated. A high percentage of neonatal rats fed each phase of K1 strains developed bacteremia; there was no bacteremia with non-K1 strains or an acapsular mutant of K1 strain C94 (C94K-). Oral cavity colonization was noted in nearly 100% of rats fed K1 strains, non-K1 strains, or C94K-, regardless of the phase of piliation at feeding. Only MS piliated bacteria were found on oral cavity culture, indicating a rapid shift of NMS piliated and nonpiliated bacteria to the MS piliated phase. Conversely, only nonpiliated bacteria were found on blood culture when neonatal rats were fed piliated bacteria. Colonization of ileal epithelium was not observed. Thus, in vivo phase variation may be important in colonization and bacteremia with E coli K1.
The abducens nucleus in the carpet shark Cephaloscyllium isabella (1983)

This study utilizes retrograde axonal transport of cobaltous-lysine, and conventional silver and Golgi staining techniques to study the abducens motor nucleus innervating the external rectus muscle of the carpet shark. The nucleus consists of 300-400 motoneurons located immediately ventrolateral to the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF), distributed over about 1.25 mm in a rostrocaudal direction at the level of exit of the VI nerve. The axons of the motoneurons form seven or eight discrete ventrally directed fascicles which, having exited from the brainstem, group together to form the abducens (VI) nerve. The motoneurons are on average about 16 micron in diameter, are bipolar, and their dendrites have a transverse orientation. Typically one set of dendrites penetrates the MLF and the other set extends ventrally into the reticular formation.

Review of Recent Patents on Detection and Quantification of Tremor (2013)

This article provides a brief review of recent patents focused on detection and quantification of human tremor. Tremor is the most common type of involuntary movement. The paper provides a discussion of recent patent publications that include disclosure directed to methods, apparatuses or systems for objective detection and quantification of tremor. Our patent search strategy reveals that over 63% of the patent publications in the technical field of body monitoring have occurred in the last 10 years, and the last 3 years account for 30% of the statutory protection effort. Despite the significant developments in this area, no single instrument or methodology has become accepted as a gold standard for quantifying tremor or dominated most applications. The results of the search and review reveal that patent applications published in the last 3 years are not directed specifically to novel methods for detection and quantification of tremor. All instruments currently available and disclosed in recent patents present some disadvantages, and the best instrument depends on the application requirements to determine the tradeoffs between cost, precision, duration, portability, and ease of use. No dominant design has emerged. New instruments are continuing to be developed and it is expected that statutory protection in this technical field will continue to expand.

Multicolor Staining of Globin Subtypes Reveals Impaired Globin Switching During Erythropoiesis in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells (2014)

Adult hemoglobin composed of α- and β-globin reflects a change from expression of embryonic ε- and fetal γ-globin to adult β-globin in human erythroid cells, so-called globin switching. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are a potential source for in vitro erythrocyte production, but they show prominent expression of γ-globin with little β-globin expression, which indicates incomplete globin switching. To examine the mechanism of this impaired globin switching, we optimized multicolor flow cytometry to simultaneously follow expression of different globin subtypes using different immunofluorescent probes. This enabled us to detect upregulation of β-globin and the corresponding silencing of γ-globin at the single-cell level during cord blood CD34(+) cell-derived erythropoiesis, examined as an endogenous control. Using this approach, we initially characterized the heterogeneous β-globin expression in erythroblasts from several hPSC clones and confirmed the predominant expression of γ-globin. These hPSC-derived erythroid cells also displayed reduced expression of BCL11A-L. However, doxycycline-induced overexpression of BCL11A-L in selected hPSCs promoted γ-globin silencing. These results strongly suggest that impaired γ-globin silencing is associated with downregulated BCL11A-L in hPSC-derived erythroblasts and that multicolor staining of globin subtypes is an effective approach to studying globin switching in vitro.
Purification of RNA from Milk Whey (2013)

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small regulatory RNA molecules that modulate specific target mRNAs and play very important roles in physiological processes. They were recently detected in body fluids such as blood, urine, saliva, and milk. These body fluid miRNAs have been studied thoroughly as potential diagnostic biomarkers. However, there have been few studies of milk miRNAs, and their roles are not clearly understood. Milk is the only nutritional source for newborn infants, and bovine milk is used widely as a dairy product. Thus, it is important to study milk miRNAs. In general, body fluid RNA concentrations are extremely low and of diverse existence types. In this chapter, we compare two silica membrane column-based RNA purification kits, and also compare RNA obtained directly from whey with that isolated from whey-derived exosomes.

Relative Intensity (in Mass Spectrometry) (2016)

This document contains recommendations for terminology in mass spectrometry. Development of standard terms dates back to 1974 when the IUPAC Commission on Analytical Nomenclature issued recommendations on mass spectrometry terms and definitions. In 1978, the IUPAC Commission on Molecular Structure and Spectroscopy updated and extended the recommendations and made further recommendations regarding symbols, acronyms, and abbreviations. The IUPAC Physical Chemistry Division Commission on Molecular Structure and Spectroscopy’s Subcommittee on Mass Spectroscopy revised the recommended terms in 1991 and appended terms relating to vacuum technology. Some additional terms related to tandem mass spectrometry were added in 1993 and accelerator mass spectrometry in 1994. Owing to the rapid expansion of the field in the intervening years, particularly in mass spectrometry of biomolecules, a further revision of the recommendations has become necessary. This document contains a comprehensive revision of mass spectrometry terminology that represents the current consensus of the mass spectrometry community.

Durch das Eintropfen einer Binderflüssigkeit in einen Tellergranulator lassen sich gezielt Hohlpartikel für besondere Anwendungen erstellen. In dieser Arbeit werden die Abhängigkeit der Partikeleigenschaften, wie Durchmesser und Schalendicke der Hohlkugeln, von der Viskosität der Binderflüssigkeit, der Bindertropfengröße und der Partikelgröße untersucht.
Inferring link weights using end-to-end measurements (2002)

We describe a novel constraint-based approach to approximate ISP link weights using only end-to-end measurements. Common routing protocols such as OSPF and IS-IS choose least-cost paths using link weights, so inferred weights provide a simple, concise, and useful model of intradomain routing. Our approach extends router-level ISP maps, which include only connectivity, with link weights that are consistent with routing. Our inferred weights agree well with observed routing: while our inferred weights fully characterize the set of shortest paths between 84--99% of the router-pairs, alternative models based on hop count and latency do so for only 47--81% of the pairs.
Effective medium theory for magnetodielectric composites: Beyond the long-wavelength limit (2006)

We present an effective medium theory that simultaneously determines the effective permittivity and effective permeability of a magnetodielectric composite beyond the long-wavelength limit. In the long-wavelength limit, our theory reproduces previous results obtained in two and three dimensions. To verify our theory, we performed band-structure calculations on a periodic composite in two dimensions for a specific configuration with complicated Mie resonances in the microstructure. Our results show that our theory can be valid even when the wavelength in the background medium, ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{0}$, is as small as 1.3 times the lattice constant, $a$, whereas the long-wavelength theory breaks down when ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{0}&lt;3.5a$.
Current concepts in HIV neuropathogenesis: neuronal injury, white matter disease, and neurotrophic factors (2005)

Abstract With the advent of more effective highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and longer survival of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, the pathogenesis of HIV encephalitis (HIVE) has been transformed from a subacute, neuroinflammatory disorder with florid neurological alterations, to a chronic and protracted condition (Langford et al. 2002a). In agreement with these changes in progression of AIDS, recent studies show that, although the frequency of HIV-related CNS lesions and dementia among HIV-infected patients has decreased, the prevalence of HIVE and more subtle forms of motor–cognitive impairment have increased (Vago et al. 2002; Neuenburg et al. 2002; Deutsch et al. 2001).

THE APPLICATION OF BIOIMPEDANCE FOR DETERMINATION OF DRY WEIGHT IN DIALYSIS PATIENTS (2001)

Achieving the correct dry weight (DW) in dialysis patients is of paramount importance during routine practice but remains a difficult parameter to quantify. In order to address this problem, a new method has been developed for the quantification of dry weight based on measurements of extracellular volume (ECV) using bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS). The basis of the method is the intersection of two relationships (A) and (B) which characterise the variation in ECV with body weight (BW) in normal healthy subjects (A) and in overhydrated dialysis patients (B). A cross sectional study was undertaken in 30 healthy subjects (15 male, 15 female, mean age 34) in order to obtain relationship (A) by measurement of ECV (via BIS) and BW. Total body water (TBW) was measured allowing a correction for variations in fat mass to be applied. A longitudinal study was then performed in new patients commencing dialysis (8 male, 4 female, mean age 62) in which post dialysis weight (PDW) was reduced. PDW was reduced over successive treatments until signs and symptoms of normal fluid overload were presented on the basis of standard clinical criteria. Inter-dialytic measurements of ECV, BW and TBW were acquired in order to construct relationship (B) for each patient and blood pressure (BP) and anti-hypertensive medication (AM) was recorded. The DW was calculated from the intersection of relationship (B) for each patient with baseline relation-ship (B). In relationship (A), ECV was found to vary linearly with BW resulting a coefficient of 0.206 L/Kg. (R2=0.967). Relationship (B) was found to vary in each patient with a mean coefficient of 0.797 L/Kg, SD 0.177 L/Kg. The method of intersecting relationships (A) and (B) was found to be highly predictive of DW when compared against the last PDW achieved in each patient (R=0.988, P=0.01). Furthermore, the post dialysis BP was significantly reduced as result of weight reduction (P<0.001) and an 86% reduction in AM was achieved.

Static Evaluation of Distraction Associated With Axial Rotation of the CerviCore® Intervertebral Disc Prosthesis (2010)

Introduction: The spine displays coupled motion. In the cervical spine this may be partly attributed to the oncovertberal joints which act as rails to guide vertebral motion. In axial rotation, a vertical distraction is observed and increases until additional structures are engaged to restrain motion. The purpose of this study was to measure and compare distraction under axial rotation between the intact disc and the CerviCore® Intervertebral Disc prosthesis. Material and Methods: Six caprine functional spinal units (FSUs) were embedded in sleeves with a displacement transducer secured laterally across the disc space. The FSU was placed on the load cell of a materials testing machine and a 100N compressive load applied. Through the use of a rotary table, the inferior body was rotated relative to the superior body to angles of 0, 3, 6, and 9 degrees and distraction recorded at each position. The FSU was then implanted with the CerviCore® Intervertebral Disc prosthesis (without removal of the transducer) and the rotation sequence repeated. Statistical comparisons between the intact and implanted conditions were performed using a repeated measures ANOVA and a Tukey post-hoc test for comparisons between angle configurations. Further comparisons between the intact and implanted conditions at specific angle orientations were performed using a paired t-test. Results: No significant differences were found in axial distraction between the intact and CerviCore® implanted conditions regardless of rotation angle applied (P&gt;0.4 for all). With respect to the effects of rotation angle upon distraction, a significant difference between the 0 versus the 6 and 9 degree conditions (P&lt;0.05 for both) was found for the intact condition. In the case of the CerviCore® implanted condition a significant difference was found between the 0 and 9 degree rotation condition (P&lt;0.05). A linear regression of vertical distraction versus applied rotation resulted in a vertical distraction rate that was not significantly different between the intact and implanted conditions (P&gt;0.08). Discussion: No significant differences were detected for distraction heights at angles of 0, 3, 6, and 9 degrees under intact and implanted conditions. Further, a linear regression of measured distraction versus applied rotation angle indicated that the rate of distraction between intact and implanted conditions was not significantly different. Noteworthy is that in the regression analysis, the confidence bands associated with the implanted device are considerably narrower that those for the intact condition, indicating a more predictable response to applied rotation in the case of the implanted condition.
Implementation of CYP2D6 copy-number imputation panel and frequency of key pharmacogenetic variants in Finnish individuals with a psychotic disorder (2022)

We demonstrate that CYP2D6 copy-number variation (CNV) can be imputed using existing imputation algorithms. Additionally, we report frequencies of key pharmacogenetic variants in individuals with a psychotic disorder from the genetically bottle-necked population of Finland. We combined GWAS chip and CYP2D6 CNV data from the Breast Cancer Pain Genetics study to construct an imputation panel (n = 902) for CYP2D6 CNV. The resulting data set was used as a CYP2D6 CNV imputation panel in 9262 non-related individuals from the SUPER-Finland study. Based on imputation of 9262 individuals we confirm the higher frequency of CYP2D6 ultrarapid metabolizers and a 22-fold enrichment of the UGT1A1 decreased function variant rs4148323 (UGT1A1*6) in Finland compared with non-Finnish Europeans. Similarly, the NUDT15 variant rs116855232 was highly enriched in Finland. We demonstrate that imputation of CYP2D6 CNV is possible and the methodology enables studying CYP2D6 in large biobanks with genome-wide data.

Comparison of Microstructure and Crystal Structure of Polycrystalline Silicon Exhibiting Varied Textures Fabricated by Microwave and Very High Frequency Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition and Their Transport Properties (1999)

Micro- and crystal structures of polycrystalline silicon ( poly -Si) films fabricated by low temperature (≤360°C) plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) were examined. Crystal orientation could be controlled by varying the source gas ratio SiF 4 /H 2 . (220) oriented films were obtained at low gas flow rate ratios while (400) preferentially oriented films were obtained at higher SiF 4 /H 2 ratios either by a remote-type microwave PECVD or a capacitive coupled parallel electrode very high frequency (VHF) PECVD. It was found that micro- and crystal structures were a strong function of orientation; that is, the crystal lattice in the (220) oriented film was under tensile strain and the crystalline grain had strong anisotropy of grain size. In contrast, the crystal lattice in the (400) oriented film was under compressive strain and evident anisotropy in the grain size could not be found. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the deposition of SiH n and/or SiH n F m and etching by fluorinated species and their competition played an important role in the selective growth. Fluorine-related species were also effective in growing large crystalline grains. Hall mobility of electron for (400) oriented films showed a monotonic increase with carrier density and achieved a large mobility of ∼10 cm 2 /Vs.
