TL;DR: Idiopathic pain disorders consist of such conditions as temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD), fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic headaches, interstitial cystitis, chronic pelvic pain, chronic tinnitus, whiplash-associated disorders, and vulvar vestibulitis.
Abstract: Idiopathic pain disorders (IPDs) consist of such conditions as temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD), fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic headaches, interstitial cystitis, chronic pelvic pain, chronic tinnitus, whiplash-associated disorders, and vulvar vestibulitis (VVS). IPDs commonly aggregate as ‘‘comorbid’’ conditions that are characterized by a complaint of pain as well as a mosaic of abnormalities in motor function, autonomic balance, neuroendocrine function, and sleep. Although the mechanisms that underlie the majority of these conditions are poorly understood, IPDs have been associated with a state of pain amplification and psychological distress (McBeth et al., 2001; Bradley and McKendree-Smith, 2002; Verne and Price, 2002; Gracely et al., 2004).

TL;DR: In this article, a microfluidic sensor is implemented from a single split-ring resonator (SRR), a fundamental building block of electromagnetic metamaterials, which is capable of sensing liquid flowing in the channel with a cross-sectional area as small as (0.001 λ 0 ) 2.
Abstract: A microfluidic sensor is implemented from a single split-ring resonator (SRR), a fundamental building block of electromagnetic metamaterials. At resonance, an SRR establishes an intense electric field confined within a deeply subwavelength region. Liquid flowing in a micro-channel laid on this region can alter the local field distribution and hence affect the SRR resonance behavior. Specifically, the resonance frequency and bandwidth are influenced by the complex dielectric permittivity of the liquid sample. The empirical relation between the sensor resonance and the sample permittivity can be established, and from this relation, the complex permittivity of liquid samples can be estimated. The technique is capable of sensing liquid flowing in the channel with a cross-sectional area as small as (0.001 λ 0 ) 2 , where λ 0 denotes the free-space wavelength of the wave excitation. This work motivates the use of SRR-based microfluidic sensors for identification, classification, and characterization of chemical and biochemical analytes.

TL;DR: There is no universal metabolic allometry and models that attempt to explain only quarter-power scaling of metabolic rate are unlikely to succeed, according to compiled SMR measurements for 938 species spanning six orders of magnitude variation in mass.
Abstract: Body size and temperature are primary determinants of metabolic rate, and the standard metabolic rate (SMR) of animals ranging in size from unicells to mammals has been thought to be proportional to body mass (M) raised to the power of three-quarters for over 40 years. However, recent evidence from rigorously selected datasets suggests that this is not the case for birds and mammals. To determine whether the influence of body mass on the metabolic rate of vertebrates is indeed universal, we compiled SMR measurements for 938 species spanning six orders of magnitude variation in mass. When normalized to a common temperature of 38 degrees C, the SMR scaling exponents of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals are significantly heterogeneous. This suggests both that there is no universal metabolic allometry and that models that attempt to explain only quarter-power scaling of metabolic rate are unlikely to succeed.

TL;DR: The Coronary Vasomotion Disorders International Study Group (COVADIS) was established to develop international standards for the diagnostic criteria of coronary vasomotor disorders, which included the criteria for vasospastic angina.
Abstract: The Coronary Vasomotion Disorders International Study Group (COVADIS) was established to develop international standards for the diagnostic criteria of coronary vasomotor disorders. The first symposium held on the 4-5 September 2013 addressed the criteria for vasospastic angina, which included the following (i) nitrate-responsive angina, (ii) transient ischaemic electrocardiogram changes, and (iii) documented coronary artery spasm. Adoption of these diagnostic criteria will improve the clinical diagnosis of this condition and facilitate research in this field.

TL;DR: This study developed a pentavalent PCR assay for the detection of saa as well as other proven and putative STEC virulence genes (stx1, stx2, eae, and ehxA), which do not interfere with each other and generate amplification products of 119, 180, 255, 384, and 534 bp.
Abstract: We recently described a novel megaplasmid-encoded adhesin produced by certain Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) strains that lack the locus for enterocyte effacement (LEE) pathogenicity island. This adhesin, designated Saa (STEC autoagglutinating adhesin), may be a marker for a subset of LEE-negative STEC strains capable of causing severe gastrointestinal and systemic diseases in humans. In this study, we developed a pentavalent PCR assay for the detection of saa as well as other proven and putative STEC virulence genes (stx1, stx2, eae, and ehxA). The five primer pairs used in the assay do not interfere with each other and generate amplification products of 119, 180, 255, 384, and 534 bp.
