Focal areas of increased lipid concentration on the coating of microbubbles during short tone-burst ultrasound insonification. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Acoustic behavior of lipid-coated microbubbles has been widely studied, which has led to several numerical microbubble dynamics models that incorporate lipid coating behavior, such as buckling and rupture.

Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy due to Biallelic Pathogenic Variants in PIGM
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective PIGM encodes a critical enzyme in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchor biosynthesis pathway. While promoter‐region mutations in PIGM have been associated with a relatively mild phenotype characterized by portal vein thrombosis and absence seizures, recent evidence suggests that coding‐region mutations result in a more severe

Investigating time-efficiency of forward masking paradigms for estimating basilar membrane input-output characteristics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 It is well known that pure-tone audiometry does not sufficiently describe individual hearing loss (HL) and that additional measures beyond pure-tone sensitivity might improve the diagnostics of hearing deficits.

Local inverse tone curve learning for high dynamic range image scalable compression [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2015 This paper presents a scalable high dynamic range (HDR) image coding scheme in which the base layer is a low dynamic range version of the image that may have been generated by an arbitrary tone mapping operator (TMO). No restriction is imposed on the TMO, which can be either global or local, so as to fully respect the artistic intent of the producer ...

Cracking the Code: Genotype–Phenotype Correlation Models in Sarcoglycanopathies
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Sarcoglycanopathies are among the most severe limb‐girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD), though milder presentations have been described. These diseases are primarily caused by missense variants, but the limited predictability of their effect on protein maturation, complex formation, and transport has hindered reliable genotype ...

Impaired microvascular endothelial function is restored by acute lower-limb exercise in post-surgical varicose vein patients [PDF]
, 2008 Evidence exists that cutaneous microvascular endothelial dysfunction persists in patients following varicose vein surgery. This study compared cutaneous microvascular function between post-surgical varicose vein patients and healthy controls and ...

Effects of Surface Tissue Compression on Muscle Tone of Stroke Patients
Journal of Neurodegenerative Disorders, 2017 Neuromuscular changes are associated with sensory stimuli generated by mechanoreceptors that determine the position and direction of the limbs during the movements, differentiating the neuromuscular function. These receptors are called Golgi Tendon Organs (GTOs) and muscle spindles.

SPG4 and Dementia: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness, with mutations in SPG4/SPAST being the most common cause. Detailed studies and clinical and molecular comparisons across different populations are missing.

Recurrent Hypothermia and Autonomic Dysfunction Secondary to Shapiro Syndrome
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A 44‐year‐old man presented with recurrent hypothermia, diaphoresis and hypertension. Extensive investigation for infectious, inflammatory, metabolic and endocrine aetiologies was negative. MR scan of the brain demonstrated no lesions but revealed callosal dysgenesis, consistent with Shapiro syndrome.
