Pervasive alterations of intra-axonal volume and network organization in young children with a 16p11.2 deletion.

Reciprocal Copy Number Variants (CNVs) at the 16p11.2 locus confer high risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Morphometric MRI studies have revealed large and pervasive volumetric alterations in carriers of a 16p11.

Adrenomedullin Secreted by Melanoma Cells Promotes Melanoma Tumor Growth through Angiogenesis and Lymphangiogenesis.

Introduction: Metastatic melanoma is an aggressive tumor and can constitute a real therapeutic challenge despite the significant progress achieved with targeted therapies and immunotherapies, thus highlighting the need for the identification of new therapeutic targets. Adrenomedullin (AM) is a peptide with significant expression in multiple types of tumors and is multifunctional. AM impacts angiogenesis and tumor growth and binds to calcitonin receptor-like receptor/receptor activity-modifying protein 2 or 3 (CLR/RAMP2; CLR/RAMP3).

Intelligent personalized shopping recommendation using clustering and supervised machine learning algorithms.

Next basket recommendation is a critical task in market basket data analysis. It is particularly important in grocery shopping, where grocery lists are an essential part of shopping habits of many customers. In this work, we first present a new grocery Recommender System available on the MyGroceryTour platform.

De novo variants in CACNA1E found in patients with intellectual disability, developmental regression and social cognition deficit but no seizures.

Background: De novo variants in the voltage-gated calcium channel subunit α1 E gene (CACNA1E) have been described as causative of epileptic encephalopathy with contractures, macrocephaly and dyskinesias.

Methods: Following the observation of an index patient with developmental delay and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without seizures who had a de novo deleterious CACNA1E variant, we screened GeneMatcher for other individuals with CACNA1E variants and neurodevelopmental phenotypes without epilepsy. The spectrum of pathogenic CACNA1E variants was compared to the mutational landscape of variants in the gnomAD control population database.

[Complex situations in adults with severe intellectual disabilities - A new support model].

Challenging behaviors constitute a real pitfall in supporting people with severe intellectual disabilities. Undermining patients and host institutions as well as psychiatric services, these crisis situations are usually underpinned by many factors including somatic, psychiatric, educational and environmental factors. New models, including the one developed by our team in Lausanne, offer a more specific approach for these complex cases, involving individualized, collaborative and multidisciplinary care to resolve the crisis but also for the overall improvement of the person's life course.
