Bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria is an autosomal recessive inherited human brain malformation with abnormal cortical lamination. The affected cortex appears to consist of numerous small gyri, with scalloping of the cortical-white matter junction. There are associated white matter, brain stem, and cerebellar changes.

- The study examined the relationship between alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and metabolic syndrome in a representative Korean population of adults.
- Adults were divided into groups based on their ALT levels, and results showed that higher levels of ALT were linked to an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, even if they were considered normal.
- Specifically, men with ALT ≥27 IU/L and women with ALT ≥15 IU/L had significantly higher odds of having metabolic syndrome compared to those with lower levels, suggesting ALT is an important marker for this condition.
Production of nanosized carbon black from hydrocarbon by a thermal plasma.
J Nanosci Nanotechnol
November 2007
Thermal plasma conditions (optimal heat and radical sources for the thermal decomposition) can be used to accelerate thermodynamically favorable chemical reactions or provide the energy required for endothermic reforming processes. Direct thermal decomposition of hydrocarbon (methane, acetylene, and propane) was carried out using a thermal plasma system which is an environmentally favorable process. In case of thermal decomposition, high purity of the hydrogen and solidified nano-sized carbon can be achieved without any contaminant.
