TL;DR: The findings were consistent with isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium, which is a cardiomyopathy thought to be caused by arrest of normal embryogenesis of the endocardium and myocardia.
Abstract: Case Presentation: A 42-year-old woman was referred to the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Clinic. A diagnosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy had been given 16 years earlier on the basis of echocardiographic findings. Left ventricular systolic function was reportedly at the lower limit of normal 5 years earlier. The patient gave a 6-month history of mild dyspnea occurring during exertion. Although still active, her exercise tolerance had decreased. She also complained of more frequent and sustained episodes of rapid palpitations associated with shortness of breath. She had occasional episodes of heavy, burning discomfort in the chest during activity and while at rest. There was no family history of cardiomyopathy, although first degree relatives had not been screened. Her heart rate was 74. Blood pressure was 110/70. Jugular venous pressure was normal. Carotid pulse volume and contour were normal. The first and second heart sounds were normal. There was a presystolic apical impulse and a prominent S4 gallop. There was no S3 gallop. A grade III/VI, harsh, midsystolic murmur was heard best at the upper left sternal border. There was no diastolic murmur. The ECG showed sinus rhythm, normal QRS duration, and left ventricular hypertrophy with repolarization changes. An echocardiogram demonstrated marked thickening and heavy trabeculation of the apical half of the left ventricle. Color Doppler displayed flow within the deep intertrabecular recesses. The left ventricle was not dilated. There was diffuse left ventricular hypokinesis with an ejection fraction of 20% to 25%. The right ventricle appeared to be more heavily trabeculated than usual. No additional abnormalities were present. The findings were consistent with isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium. Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium is a cardiomyopathy thought to be caused by arrest of normal embryogenesis of the endocardium and myocardium. This abnormality is often associated with other congenital cardiac defects, but it …

TL;DR: This lecture reviews sensory processing literature and proposes relationships between sensory processing and temperament and personality traits, and outlines parameters for developing best practice that supports interventions based on this knowledge.
Abstract: The experience of being human is embedded in sensory events of everyday life. This lecture reviews sensory processing literature, including neuroscience and social science perspectives. Introduced is Dunn’s Model of Sensory Processing, and the evidence supporting this model is summarized. Specifically, using Sensory Profile questionnaires (i.e., items describing responses to sensory events in daily life; persons mark the frequency of each behavior), persons birth to 90 years of age demonstrate four sensory processing patterns: sensory seeking, sensory avoiding, sensory sensitivity, and low registration. These patterns are based on a person’s neurological thresholds and self-regulation strategies. Psychophysiology studies verify these sensory processing patterns; persons with strong preferences in each pattern also have unique patterns of habituation and responsivity in skin conductance. Studies also indicate that persons with disabilities respond differently than peers on these questionnaires, suggesting underlying poor sensory processing in certain disorders, including autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, developmental delays, and schizophrenia. The author proposes relationships between sensory processing and temperament and personality traits. The four categories of temperament share some consistency with the four sensory processing patterns described in Dunn’s model. As with temperament, each person has some level of responsiveness within each sensory processing preference (i.e., a certain amount of seeking, avoiding, etc., not one or the other). The author suggests that one’s sensory processing preferences simultaneously reflect his or her nervous system needs and form the basis for the manifestation of temperament and personality. The final section of this lecture outlines parameters for developing best practice that supports interventions based on this knowledge.

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that the Z ring is utilized by all prokaryotic organisms for division and may also be used by some eukaryotic organelles.
Abstract: Bacterial cell division occurs through the formation of an FtsZ ring (Z ring) at the site of division. The ring is composed of the tubulin-like FtsZ protein that has GTPase activity and the ability to polymerize in vitro. The Z ring is thought to function in vivo as a cytoskeletal element that is analogous to the contractile ring in many eukaryotic cells. Evidence suggests that the Z ring is utilized by all prokaryotic organisms for division and may also be used by some eukaryotic organelles. This review summarizes our present knowledge about the formation, function, and evolution of the Z ring in prokaryotic cell division.
