Electron microscopic examinations of KLChKM (human embryo cells spontaneously contaminated with mouse cells) cell cultures revealed extracellular oncornaviruses of A and C types and intracisternal virions of A type which in their submicroscopical organization and morphogenesis were identical to oncornaviruses of mouse L cells. Also "minimal forms" (MiF) of oncornaviruses of A and C types the diameter of which was 30--70 nm were found. MiF of oncornaviruses were found to be formed in the process of budding through the cytoplasmic membrane or membranes of intracellular vacuoles.

Radiation retinopathy is an occlusive vascular pathology following radiotherapy, generally targeted on the eye or peri-ocular structures. Despite increasingly precise techniques (stereotactic radiosurgery, proton therapy, etc.), the inclusion of the retina in the radiation field is sometimes unavoidable.

Nothingness Is All There Is: An Exploration of Objectless Awareness During Sleep.

Front Psychol

June 2022

Geri-PARTy Research Group, Jewish General Hospital/Lady Davis Institute, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada.

Recent years have seen a heightened focus on the study of minimal forms of awareness during sleep to advance the study of consciousness and understand what makes a state conscious. This focus draws on an increased interest in anecdotical descriptions made by classic Indian philosophical traditions about unusual forms of awareness during sleep. For instance, in the so-called state of witnessing-sleep or luminosity sleep, one is said to reach a state that goes beyond ordinary dreaming and abide in a state of just awareness, a state in which one is not aware of anything else other than one's own awareness.

Study Question: What is the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies in triage-negative patients undergoing ART and fertility care providers after lockdown release and throughout 2020?

Summary Answer: Out of the triage-negative patients whose blood samples were assessed for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies over 6 months, 5.2% yielded positive results with a significantly higher rate in health care workers (HCWs) and a significant month-by-month increase in those with evidence of antibodies.

What Is Known Already: Patients of reproductive age are more prone to asymptomatic or minimal forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as compared to older age groups, and the identification of those with active infection and those already exposed (and probably immunized) is important for safety and cost-effective use of testing resources in the fertility setting.

We report three cases of severe hypertrichosis in healthy infants, who did not present any type of endocrinological pathology and whose parents used topical minoxidil for the treatment of their baldness. Any type of direct application or administration of the product was ruled out. Hypertrichosis is considered to have occurred through skin-to-skin contact with the parent, and even through fomites.

To assess the spectrum of pediatric clinical phenotypes in TJP2 disease, we reviewed records of our seven patients in whom intrahepatic cholestasis was associated with biallelic TJP2 variants (13; 12 novel) and correlated clinical manifestations with mutation type. The effect of a splicing variant was analyzed with a minigene assay. The effects of three missense variants were analyzed with protein expression in vitro.
