TL;DR: A number of ambiguities exist concerning the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome as mentioned in this paper, which is characterized by ST-segment elevation in right precordial leads (V1 to V3) that is unrelated to ischemia, electrolyte disturbances, or obvious structural heart disease.
Abstract: Asyndrome characterized by ST-segment elevation in right precordial leads (V1 to V3) that is unrelated to ischemia, electrolyte disturbances, or obvious structural heart disease was reported as early as 1953,1 but was first described as a distinct clinical entity associated with a high risk of sudden cardiac death in 1992.2–4⇓⇓ The Brugada syndrome is a familial disease that displays an autosomal dominant mode of transmission, with incomplete penetrance and an incidence ranging between 5 and 66 per 10 000. In regions of Southeast Asia where it is endemic, the clinical presentation of Brugada syndrome is distinguished by a male predominance (8:1 ratio of male:female) and the appearance of arrhythmic events at an average age of 40 years (range: 1 to 77 years).2,5⇓ Although a number of candidate genes are considered plausible, thus far the syndrome has been linked only to mutations in SCN5A , the gene encoding for the α subunit of the sodium channel.6
A number of ambiguities exist concerning the diagnosis of Brugada syndrome. The electrocardiographic signature of the syndrome is dynamic and often concealed, but can be unmasked by potent sodium channel blockers such as flecainide, ajmaline, and procainamide,7 although the specificity of this effect for uncovering patients at risk for sudden death has been an issue of concern. A recent report by Remme et al8 has shown that the number of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation patients diagnosed as having Brugada syndrome is a sensitive function of the diagnostic criteria applied. What are the proper diagnostic criteria for identifying Brugada syndrome? A definitive answer to this question has been out of reach and is the reason for the establishment of a special Arrhythmia Working Group of the European Society of Cardiology that met from August 31 to …

TL;DR: In this article, the integration of intellectual ability, learning style, personality and achievement motivation as predictors of academic success in higher education in the Netherlands was investigated. But no positive association with academic success was detected for the meaning directed, reproduction directed and application directed learning style.

TL;DR: Oral administration of the β-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol before memory reactivation in humans erased the behavioral expression of the fear memory 24 h later and prevented the return of fear.
Abstract: Animal studies have shown that fear memories can change when recalled, a process referred to as reconsolidation. We found that oral administration of the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist propranolol before memory reactivation in humans erased the behavioral expression of the fear memory 24 h later and prevented the return of fear. Disrupting the reconsolidation of fear memory opens up new avenues for providing a long-term cure for patients with emotional disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mass and equatorial radius of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0030+0451 were estimated based on a relativistic ray-tracing of thermal emission from hot regions of the pulsar surface.
Abstract: We report on Bayesian parameter estimation of the mass and equatorial radius of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0030+0451, conditional on pulse-profile modeling of Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer X-ray spectral-timing event data. We perform relativistic ray-tracing of thermal emission from hot regions of the pulsar’s surface. We assume two distinct hot regions based on two clear pulsed components in the phase-folded pulse-profile data; we explore a number of forms (morphologies and topologies) for each hot region, inferring their parameters in addition to the stellar mass and radius. For the family of models considered, the evidence (prior predictive probability of the data) strongly favors a model that permits both hot regions to be located in the same rotational hemisphere. Models wherein both hot regions are assumed to be simply connected circular single-temperature spots, in particular those where the spots are assumed to be reflection-symmetric with respect to the stellar origin, are strongly disfavored. For the inferred configuration, one hot region subtends an angular extent of only a few degrees (in spherical coordinates with origin at the stellar center) and we are insensitive to other structural details; the second hot region is far more azimuthally extended in the form of a narrow arc, thus requiring a larger number of parameters to describe. The inferred mass M and equatorial radius R eq are, respectively, and , while the compactness is more tightly constrained; the credible interval bounds reported here are approximately the 16% and 84% quantiles in marginal posterior mass.

TL;DR: Olefin metathesis opens up new industrial routes to important petrochemicals, oleochemicals, polymers, and specialty chemicals, such as polymers as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Olefin metathesis opens up new industrial routes to important petrochemicals, oleochemicals, polymers, and specialty chemicals. Industrial applications of the olefin metathesis reaction known until 1997 have been described elsewhere, including processes that have not been commercialized and processes that are no longer commercial [1]. Here we will discuss the present situation.
