TL;DR: Regenerative spiral waves of release of free Ca2+ were observed by confocal microscopy in Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes and the absolute refractory period for Ca2- stores was determined.
Abstract: Intracellular calcium (Ca2+) is a ubiquitous second messenger. Information is encoded in the magnitude, frequency, and spatial organization of changes in the concentration of cytosolic free Ca2+. Regenerative spiral waves of release of free Ca2+ were observed by confocal microscopy in Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing muscarinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes. This pattern of Ca2+ activity is characteristic of an intracellular milieu that behaves as a regenerative excitable medium. The minimal critical radius for propagation of focal Ca2+ waves (10.4 micrometers) and the effective diffusion constant for the excitation signal (2.3 x 10(-6) square centimeters per second) were estimated from measurements of velocity and curvature of circular wavefronts expanding from foci. By modeling Ca2+ release with cellular automata, the absolute refractory period for Ca2+ stores (4.7 seconds) was determined. Other phenomena expected of an excitable medium, such as wave propagation of undiminished amplitude and annihilation of colliding wavefronts, were observed.

TL;DR: A form of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), designated AML‐MO, with minimalMyeloid differentiation, not included previously in the FAB classification is described and its clinical and biological significance is not yet apparent.
Abstract: We describe a form of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), designated AML-MO, with minimal myeloid differentiation, not included previously in the FAB classification. AML-MO cannot be diagnosed on morphological grounds alone as the blast cells are large and agranular, sometimes resembling L2 or, rarely, L1 lymphoblasts, and should be identified by the following features: negative myeloperoxidase (MPO) and Sudan Black B reaction (or positive in less than 3% of blasts), negative B and T lineage markers and expression of myeloid antigens recognized by at least one monoclonal antibody, CD13 or CD33. Other myeloid markers are also often positive and these include CD11b and the enzyme MPO demonstrated by immunocytochemistry and/or electron microscopy analysis. The findings in a group of 10 cases satisfying the criteria for AML-MO are described. AML-MO represents 2-3% of all cases of AML and 1-1.5% of all acute leukaemias. Its clinical and biological significance is not yet apparent but its identification in a larger number of cases may achieve this aim.

TL;DR: Care considerations for diagnosis of DMD and neuromuscular, rehabilitation, endocrine (growth, puberty, and adrenal insufficiency), and gastrointestinal (including nutrition and dysphagia) management are presented.
Abstract: Since the publication of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) care considerations in 2010, multidisciplinary care of this severe, progressive neuromuscular disease has evolved. In conjunction with improved patient survival, a shift to more anticipatory diagnostic and therapeutic strategies has occurred, with a renewed focus on patient quality of life. In 2014, a steering committee of experts from a wide range of disciplines was established to update the 2010 DMD care considerations, with the goal of improving patient care. The new care considerations aim to address the needs of patients with prolonged survival, to provide guidance on advances in assessments and interventions, and to consider the implications of emerging genetic and molecular therapies for DMD. The committee identified 11 topics to be included in the update, eight of which were addressed in the original care considerations. The three new topics are primary care and emergency management, endocrine management, and transitions of care across the lifespan. In part 1 of this three-part update, we present care considerations for diagnosis of DMD and neuromuscular, rehabilitation, endocrine (growth, puberty, and adrenal insufficiency), and gastrointestinal (including nutrition and dysphagia) management.

TL;DR: It is shown that the proposed TEAM, ThrEshold Adaptive Memristor model is reasonably accurate and computationally efficient, and is more appropriate for circuit simulation than previously published models.
Abstract: Memristive devices are novel devices, which can be used in applications ranging from memory and logic to neuromorphic systems. A memristive device offers several advantages: nonvolatility, good scalability, effectively no leakage current, and compatibility with CMOS technology, both electrically and in terms of manufacturing. Several models for memristive devices have been developed and are discussed in this paper. Digital applications such as memory and logic require a model that is highly nonlinear, simple for calculations, and sufficiently accurate. In this paper, a new memristive device model is presented-TEAM, ThrEshold Adaptive Memristor model. This model is flexible and can be fit to any practical memristive device. Previously published models are compared in this paper to the proposed TEAM model. It is shown that the proposed model is reasonably accurate and computationally efficient, and is more appropriate for circuit simulation than previously published models.
