Acoustic microstreaming produced by nonspherical oscillations of a gas bubble. I. Case of modes 0 and m.

A theory is developed that allows one to model the velocity field of acoustic microstreaming produced by nonspherical oscillations of an acoustically driven gas bubble. It is assumed that some of the bubble oscillation modes are excited parametrically and hence can oscillate at frequencies different from the driving frequency. Analytical solutions are derived in terms of complex amplitudes of oscillation modes, which means that the mode amplitudes are assumed to be known and serve as input data when the velocity field of acoustic microstreaming is calculated.

Observation of Nanoparticle Exsolution from Perovskite Oxides: From Atomic Scale Mechanistic Insight to Nanostructure Tailoring.

Understanding and controlling the formation of nanoparticles at the surface of functional oxide supports is critical for tuning activity and stability for catalytic and energy conversion applications. Here, we use a latest generation environmental transmission electron microscope to follow the exsolution of individual nanoparticles at the surface of perovskite oxides, with ultrahigh spatial and temporal resolution. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data reveals the atomic scale processes that underpin the formation of the socketed, strain-inducing interface that confers exsolved particles their exceptional stability and reactivity.

Human motor cortical beta bursts relate to movement planning and response errors.

Motor cortical beta activity (13-30 Hz) is a hallmark signature of healthy and pathological movement, but its behavioural relevance remains unclear. Using high-precision magnetoencephalography (MEG), we show that during the classical event-related desynchronisation (ERD) and event-related synchronisation (ERS) periods, motor cortical beta activity in individual trials (n > 12,000) is dominated by high amplitude, transient, and infrequent bursts. Beta burst probability closely matched the trial-averaged beta amplitude in both the pre- and post-movement periods, but individual bursts were spatially more focal than the classical ERS peak.

[The radiolabeled blood cell: Finding a legal qualification].

Radiolabelling of blood cells is a technique commonly used as a diagnostic tool in nuclear medicine; it has never been legally defined. This lack of legal status is a factor of uncertainty for both patients and health care professionals. The aim of this work was to identify what could be the legal nature of the radiolabelled blood cells by comparing their constitutive elements to the various existing legal categories applicable, according to the law applicable to living organisms as well as the regulations for other health products.

Toxicological Assessment of ITER-Like Tungsten Nanoparticles Using an In Vitro 3D Human Airway Epithelium Model.

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is an international project aimed at the production of carbon-free energy through the use of thermonuclear fusion. During ITER operation, in case of a loss-of-vacuum-accident, tungsten nanoparticles (W-NPs) could potentially be released into the environment and induce occupational exposure via inhalation. W-NPs toxicity was evaluated on MucilAir™, a 3D in vitro cell model of the human airway epithelium.

Systemic treatments in MDM2 positive intimal sarcoma: A multicentre experience with anthracycline, gemcitabine, and pazopanib within the World Sarcoma Network.

Background: Intimal sarcoma (InS) is an exceedingly rare neoplasm with an unfavorable prognosis, for which new potentially active treatments are under development. We report on the activity of anthracycline-based regimens, gemcitabine-based regimens, and pazopanib in patients with InS.

Methods: Seventeen sarcoma reference centers in Europe, the United States, and Japan contributed data to this retrospective analysis.

Electroactive Area from Porous Oxide Films Loaded with Silver Nanoparticles: Electrochemical and Electron Tomography Observations.

Electrochemical studies of nanomaterial-based electrodes have been widely developed for catalyst and energy-harvesting applications. The evolution of these electrodes over time and their efficiency have been extensively studied and analyzed in order to optimize their performance. However, the electrochemical responses of electrodes are rarely studied in terms of the position of the active species within these electrodes.

MAIT cells in metabolic diseases.

Background: Metabolic diseases represent a wide category of alterations affecting metabolism. These pathologies are notably marked by inflammation that implicates the immune system. Mucosal Associated Invariant (MAI)T cells are immune cells expressing a semi-invariant TCR able to recognize bacterial and fungal vitamin B metabolites.

Qualification of tropical fruit-derived Lactobacillus plantarum strains as potential probiotics acting on blood glucose and total cholesterol levels in Wistar rats.

Tropical fruit and their industrial processing byproducts have been considered sources of probiotic Lactobacillus. Sixteen tropical fruit-derived Lactobacillus strains were assessed for growth-promoting effects using a host-commensal nutrient scarcity model with Drosophila melanogaster (Dm). Two Lactobacillus strains (L.

GAPDH Overexpression in the T Cell Lineage Promotes Angioimmunoblastic T Cell Lymphoma through an NF-κB-Dependent Mechanism.

GAPDH is emerging as a key player in T cell development and function. To investigate the role of GAPDH in T cells, we generated a transgenic mouse model overexpressing GAPDH in the T cell lineage. Aged mice developed a peripheral Tfh-like lymphoma that recapitulated key molecular, pathological, and immunophenotypic features of human angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL).

Sulcal organization in the medial frontal cortex provides insights into primate brain evolution.

Although the relative expansion of the frontal cortex in primate evolution is generally accepted, the nature of the human uniqueness, if any, and between-species anatomo-functional comparisons of the frontal areas remain controversial. To provide a novel interpretation of the evolution of primate brains, sulcal morphological variability of the medial frontal cortex was assessed in Old World monkeys (macaque/baboon) and Hominoidea (chimpanzee/human). We show that both Hominoidea possess a paracingulate sulcus, which was previously thought to be unique to the human brain and linked to higher cognitive functions, such as mentalizing.

Cysts associated with intramedullary ependymomas of the spinal cord: clinical, MRI and oncological features.

Purpose: Few published articles have explicitly focused on cysts associated with intramedullary (IM) ependymomas. The objective was to assess the clinical, MRI, and oncological results of patients operated for an IM ependymoma associated with a cystic portion.

Methods: During the study period, 23 IM tumors resected were cystic ependymomas.

Pazopanib for treatment of advanced extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma: a multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial.

Background: Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma is a rare sarcoma with low sensitivity to cytotoxic chemotherapy. Retrospective evidence suggests that antiangiogenic drugs could be a treatment option. We aimed to investigate the activity of pazopanib, an antiangiogenic drug, in patients with advanced extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma.

Impact of Relative Humidity on Wood Sample: A Climate Chamber Experimental Simulation Monitored by Digital Holographic Speckle Pattern Interferometry.

Relative humidity (RH) changes are a natural environmental effect that forces organic materials to a constant cycle of achieving equilibrium. The present work is part of an ongoing research based on the hypothesis that the inevitable deleterious effects of the RH natural cycle may be prevented or minimized if a deformation threshold is assigned to each monitored endangered object prior to exposure to structural damage. In this paper the characterization of the behavior of a softwood sample (1.

Anatomy of the human spinal cord arachnoid cisterns: applications for spinal cord surgery.

Objective: The goal in this study was to describe the overall organization of the spinal arachnoid mater and spinal subarachnoid space (SSAS) as well as its relationship with surrounding structures, in order to highlight spinal cord arachnoid cisterns.

Methods: Fifteen spinal cords were extracted from embalmed adult cadavers. The organization of the spinal cord arachnoid and SSAS was described via macroscopic observations, optical microscopic views, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies.

Dynamic analysis of a Rayleigh scattering setup using synthetic light signals from a modulated LED.

Rayleigh scattering of a laser beam can be used for time-resolved local measurements of density in flows. A key-point of the approach lies in extracting flow density statistics from the measurement of the scattered-light power. Complex hardware equipment and software procedures are involved in this process.

Impact of stopping sending colorectal cancer screening test kits by regular mail.

Objective: From 2009 to 2013, the French colorectal cancer screening program (CRCSP) provided for a medical phase and a phase of systematic mailing of the test kit (SMTK) to people who could not participate in the medical phase. After 2013, the SMTK was abandoned in most districts. This study aims to analyze the impact of this termination.

Singular angular magnetoresistance in a magnetic nodal semimetal.

Transport coefficients of correlated electron systems are often useful for mapping hidden phases with distinct symmetries. Here we report a transport signature of spontaneous symmetry breaking in the magnetic Weyl semimetal cerium-aluminum-germanium (CeAlGe) system in the form of singular angular magnetoresistance (SAMR). This angular response exceeding 1000% per radian is confined along the high-symmetry axes with a full width at half maximum reaching less than 1° and is tunable via isoelectronic partial substitution of silicon for germanium.

[Architecture and biogenesis of positive-stranded RNA virus replication organelles].

The replication of viral pathogens relies on their ability to manipulate their host. Several steps of the infectious cycle require the hijacking of cellular membranes. Positive stranded RNA viruses replicating in the cytoplasm of their host reorganize cellular membranes.

Access to the waiting list and to kidney transplantation for people living with HIV: A national registry study.

We compared access to a kidney transplantation (KT) waiting list (WL) and to KT between people living with HIV (PLHIV) and HIV-uninfected controls. Using the REIN (the national Renal Epidemiology and Information Network registry), we included all PLHIV initiating dialysis in France throughout 2006-2010 and HIV-uninfected controls matched for age, sex, year of dialysis initiation, and the existence of a diabetic nephropathy. Patients were prospectively followed until December 2015.
