[Purpose] This study aimed to assess the known-groups validity of the estimated metabolic equivalents during physical activities using accelerometer, Active Style Pro HJA 350-IT, in people with subacute stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Ten participants with subacute stroke and ten healthy people performed six activities (lying, sitting, standing, sitting with reaching task, standing with reaching task, and walking) and metabolic equivalents were estimated using the accelerometer during each activity. These estimated metabolic equivalents were compared with reported metabolic equivalents through compendiums or previous studies.

Article Synopsis
- - The study identified genetic rearrangements in the BMPR2 gene associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), specifically through the deletion or duplication of its exons.
- - Researchers examined two familial PAH cases in Japan with exonic deletions, finding these were Alu-mediated through different recombination processes.
- - A report of a third case involved a 25-year-old female with a unique deletion of BMPR2 exon 3, which was not linked to Alu sequences and resulted in a 759-bp deletion, suggesting it could represent a novel genetic alteration distinct from previous cases.
Valosine-containing proteins (VCP) in an annelid: identification of a novel spermatogenesis related factor.

Two cDNAs similar to mammalian valosine-containing proteins (VCPs) were isolated from the common lumbricid earthworm Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826). The primary sequences, referred to as eVCP-1 and eVCP-2, display a similarity of 74%. Despite of the variable C-termini, both eVCPs have a conserved intron/exon organization spanning 14 kb, which is also conserved to their mammalian counterparts.
