TL;DR: In this article, a mouse carrying a mutation of the gene encoding the low affinity NGF receptor p75NGFR was generated by targeted mutation in embryonic stem cells and the defective innervation was correlated with loss of heat sensitivity and associated with the development of ulcers in the distal extremities.

TL;DR: Surgical treatment for the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in school-age children did not significantly improve attention or executive function as measured by neuropsychological testing but did reduce symptoms and improve secondary outcomes of behavior, quality of life, and polysomnographic findings, thus providing evidence of beneficial effects of early adenotonsillectomy.
Abstract: Background Adenotonsillectomy is commonly performed in children with the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, yet its usefulness in reducing symptoms and improving cognition, behavior, quality of life, and polysomnographic findings has not been rigorously evaluated. We hypothesized that, in children with the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome without prolonged oxyhemoglobin desaturation, early adenotonsillectomy, as compared with watchful waiting with supportive care, would result in improved outcomes. Methods We randomly assigned 464 children, 5 to 9 years of age, with the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome to early adenotonsillectomy or a strategy of watchful waiting. Polysomnographic, cognitive, behavioral, and health outcomes were assessed at baseline and at 7 months. Results The average baseline value for the primary outcome, the attention and executive-function score on the Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment (with scores ranging from 50 to 150 and higher scores indicating better functioning), was ...

TL;DR: In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of finite cost, constant, stabilizing controls for the infinite-time Markovian jump linear quadratic (JLQ) problem are established.
Abstract: Consideration is given to the control of continuous-time linear systems that possess randomly jumping parameters which can be described by finite-state Markov processes. The relationship between appropriately defined controllability, stabilizability properties, and the solution of the infinite time jump linear quadratic (JLQ) optimal control problems is also examined. Although the solution of the continuous-time Markov JLQ problem with finite or infinite time horizons is known, only sufficient conditions for the existence of finite cost, constant, stabilizing controls for the infinite time problem appear in the literature. In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions are established. These conditions are based on new definitions of controllability, observability, stabilizability, and detectability that are appropriate for continuous-time Markovian jump linear systems. These definitions play the same role for the JLQ problem as the deterministic properties do for the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem. >

TL;DR: The group agreed on sets of uniform sampling criteria, placental gross descriptors, pathologic terminologies, and diagnostic criteria for placental lesions, which will assist in international comparability of clinicopathologic and scientific studies and assist in refining the significance of lesions associated with adverse pregnancy and later health outcomes.
Abstract: Context.—The value of placental examination in investigations of adverse pregnancy outcomes may be compromised by sampling and definition differences between laboratories. Objective.—To establish an agreed-upon protocol for sampling the placenta, and for diagnostic criteria for placental lesions. Recommendations would cover reporting placentas in tertiary centers as well as in community hospitals and district general hospitals, and are also relevant to the scientific research community. Data Sources.—Areas of controversy or uncertainty were explored prior to a 1-day meeting where placental and perinatal pathologists, and maternal-fetal medicine specialists discussed available evidence and subsequently reached consensus where possible. Conclusions.—The group agreed on sets of uniform sampling criteria, placental gross descriptors, pathologic terminologies, and diagnostic criteria. The terminology and microscopic descriptions for maternal vascular malperfusion, fetal vascular malperfusion, delayed villous m...

TL;DR: The TCA cycle is the central process in energy metabolism, but it also functions in biosynthetic pathways in which intermediates leave the cycle to be converted primarily to glucose, fatty acids, or non-essential amino acids.
