A conserved role for ALG10/ALG10B and the -glycosylation pathway in the sleep-epilepsy axis.

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) comprise a class of inborn errors of metabolism resulting from pathogenic variants in genes coding for enzymes involved in the asparagine-linked glycosylation of proteins. Unexpectedly to date, no CDG has been described for , encoding the alpha-1,2-glucosyltransferase catalyzing the final step of lipid-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of human traits in the UK Biobank revealed significant SNP associations with short sleep duration, reduced napping frequency, later sleep timing and evening diurnal preference as well as cardiac traits at a genomic locus containing a pair of paralogous enzymes and .

Hydatid disease: imaging, treatment, and beyond.

Hydatidosis is an endemic parasitic disease that can occur in almost any part of the body. It presents in two different forms according to the type of tapeworm: Echinococcus granulosus (hydatid disease [HD]) and Echinococcus multilocularis (alveolar HD). Radiological imaging can reveal the type of cyst, disease activity and progression, and complications, with features depending on the HD stage, the organ involved, and complications.

Toxic Shock Syndrome as an Unexpected Complication in Outpatient Pediatric Burn Treatment: A Chart Review.

Minor burn injuries in children affecting less than 10% of total body surface area (TBSA) are often successfully managed in the outpatient setting, however it is important to recognize they can be associated with serious sequelae such as toxic shock syndrome (TSS). We conducted a retrospective chart review at a tertiary-level pediatric hospital between May 2012 and May 2022 to identify pediatric patients diagnosed with TSS following minor burn injuries. Data collected included: patient demographics, burn characteristics, TSS symptoms, and management.

Role of CT-based body composition parameters in the course of COVID-19.

Background/aim: A significant correlation is observed between the course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and body composition parameters including visceral fat quantification, muscle mass, and hepatic attenuation. The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation between the extent of lung involvement and various computed tomography (CT) parameters, as well as laboratory findings in COVID-19 patients.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 72 adult patients with laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection who underwent two consecutive thorax CT scans at least 2 weeks apart.

Electroencephalographic Responses to the Number of Objects in Partially Occluded and Uncovered Scenes.

Perceptual completion is ubiquitous when estimating properties such as the shape, size, or number of objects in partially occluded scenes. Behavioral experiments showed that the number of hidden objects is underestimated in partially occluded scenes compared with an estimation based on the density of visible objects and the amount of occlusion. It is still unknown at which processing level this (under)estimation of the number of hidden objects occurs.

The Role of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide and Amylin in Pediatric Migraine.

Background:  Very few studies have examined the relationship between calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and amylin levels and the disease in patients with migraine. The purpose of this study was to compare blood CGRP and amylin levels between pediatric migraine patients and healthy controls and the relationship between CGRP and amylin levels and migraine attack frequency and duration.

Methods:  The study involved two separate groups-control and migraine.

Isolated sign language recognition through integrating pose data and motion history images.

This article presents an innovative approach for the task of isolated sign language recognition (SLR); this approach centers on the integration of pose data with motion history images (MHIs) derived from these data. Our research combines spatial information obtained from body, hand, and face poses with the comprehensive details provided by three-channel MHI data concerning the temporal dynamics of the sign. Particularly, our developed finger pose-based MHI (FP-MHI) feature significantly enhances the recognition success, capturing the nuances of finger movements and gestures, unlike existing approaches in SLR.

Blocked versus interleaved: How range contexts modulate time perception and its EEG signatures.

Accurate time perception is a crucial element in a wide range of cognitive tasks, including decision-making, memory, and motor control. One commonly observed phenomenon is that when given a range of time intervals to consider, people's estimates often cluster around the midpoint of those intervals. Previous studies have suggested that the range of these intervals can also influence our judgments, but the neural mechanisms behind this "range effect" are not yet understood.
