The roles of interaural time difference (ITD) and interaural level difference (ILD) were studied in free-field source localization experiments for sine tones of low frequency (250-750 Hz). Experiments combined real-source trials with virtual trials created through transaural synthesis based on real-time ear canal measurements. Experiments showed the following: (1) The naturally occurring ILD is physically large enough to exert an influence on sound localization well below 1000 Hz. (2) An ILD having the same sign as the ITD modestly enhances the perceived azimuth of tones for all values of the ITD, and it eliminates left-right confusions that otherwise occur when the interaural phase difference (IPD) passes 180°. (3) Increasing the ILD to large, implausible values can decrease the perceived laterality while also increasing front-back confusions. (4) Tone localization is more directly related to the ITD than to the IPD. (5) An ILD having a sign opposite to the ITD promotes a slipped-cycle ITD, sometimes with dramatic effects on localization. Because the role of the ITD itself is altered by the ILD, the duplex processing of ITD and ILD reflects more than mere trading; the effect of the ITD can be reversed in sign.

Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Peking University People's Hospital, Beijing, China.
This study aimed to investigate and analyze the clinical and immunological features of patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene-5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis (MDA5 DM) complicated with clinical liver dysfunction. A cohort of 85 patients diagnosed with MDA5 DM admitted into Peking University People's Hospital from 2006 to 2023 were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Clinical characteristics and survival status were collected and analyzed.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of the coexistence of 2 or more myositis-specific antibodies (multiple MSAs) in adult patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM).
Methods: We assessed a cohort of 202 consecutive patients with IIM. Clinical features and survival rates were compared between patients with and without multiple MSAs.

This case report highlights dermatomyositis (DM) characterised by the concurrent presence of anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (anti-MDA5) and anti-Ro52 antibodies. A 64-year-old woman initially presented with erythema on the palms, which later spread to the dorsum of the hands, followed by involvement of the face, forehead, and upper eyelids. The patient reported joint pain, fatigue, and dyspnea.

Article Synopsis
- - Cryptogenic organising pneumonia (COP) is a type of lung disease caused by unknown irritants, particularly damaging type II pneumocytes and the alveolar basement membrane.
- - Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease that can lead to severe lung complications like pulmonary hypertension and interstitial lung disease (ILD), where COP can occur alongside other symptoms.
- - This report discusses cases of scleroderma and inflammatory polyarthritis that are associated with COP, noting that it's rare for OP to be the first sign of arthritis, and more research is needed to understand its clinical features.
Anti-MDA5 Antibody-positive Clinically Amyopathic Dermatomyositis with Rapidly Progressing Interstitial Lung Disease Successfully Treated by Initiation of Combined Immunosuppressive Therapy Plus Plasma Exchange and Subsequently Switching Tacrolimus to Tofacitinib.

A 36-year-old man with inverse Gottron's sign was admitted for clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). Early addition of plasma exchange (PE) to triple therapy improved severe respiratory failure and transiently decreased serum ferritin levels and anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody (anti-MDA5 Ab) titers. Furthermore, switching from tacrolimus to tofacitinib resulted in disease remission.
