We implement and characterize a protocol that enables arbitrary local controls in a dipolar atom array, where the degree of freedom is encoded in a pair of Rydberg states. Our approach relies on a combination of local addressing beams and global microwave fields. Using this method, we directly prepare two different types of three-atom entangled states, including a W state and a state exhibiting finite chirality.

Purpose: This study explored the use of an automated language analysis tool, FLUCALC, for measuring fluency in aphasia. The purpose was to determine whether CLAN's FLUCALC command could produce efficient, objective outcome measures for salient aspects of fluency in aphasia.

Method: The FLUCALC command was used on CHAT transcripts of Cinderella stories from people with aphasia (PWA; = 281) and controls ( = 257) in the AphasiaBank database.

Objective: We present prenatal diagnosis of mosaic trisomy 18 and maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) 18 in a pregnancy with a favorable fetal outcome.

Case Report: A 34-year-old woman underwent amniocentesis at 17 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age, and the result was 47,XY,+18 [4]/46,XY [25] in cultured amniocytes. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) on uncultured amniocytes revealed 65% mosaicism for trisomy 18.

Objective: We present genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis and postnatal follow-up of 45,XY,der(15;22)(q10;q10)mat/46,XY,i(15)(q10)/46,XY at amniocentesis in a pregnancy with a favorable fetal outcome.

Case Report: A 27-year-old, primigravid woman underwent amniocentesis at 19 weeks of gestation because increased nuchal translucency thickness, and the result was 45,XY,der(15;22)(q10;q10)[29]/46,XY,i(15)(q10)[3]/46,XY[5]. Simultaneous array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis on the DNA extracted from uncultured amniocytes revealed arr (1-22) × 2, (X,Y) × 1.

Objective: We present low-level mosaic trisomy 21 at amniocentesis associated with a favorable fetal outcome.

Case Report: A 31-year-old primigravid woman underwent non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) at 12 weeks of gestation, and the result was normal. She underwent amniocentesis at 16 weeks of gestation because of fetal choroid plexus cyst, and the result was 47,XX,+21[5]/46,XX[32].
