A biallelically active embryonic enhancer dictates GNAS imprinting through allele-specific conformations by Yorihiro Iwasaki, Monica Reyes, Harald Jüppner, Murat Bastepe

“…Abnormal imprinting at the GNAS gene causes multiple phenotypes, including pseudohypoparathyroidism type-1B (PHP1B), a disorder of multihormone resistance. Microdeletions affecting the neighboring STX16 gene ablate an imprinting control region (STX16-ICR) of GNAS and lead to PHP1B upon maternal but not paternal inheritance. …”

LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG: Behavioral Treatment Programs for Speech and Body Movement in Parkinson Disease by Cynthia Fox, Georg Ebersbach, Lorraine Ramig, Shimon Sapir

“…The unique aspects of the LSVT Programs include the combination of (a) an exclusive target on increasing amplitude (loudness in the speech motor system; bigger movements in the limb motor system), (b) a focus on sensory recalibration to help patients recognize that movements with increased amplitude are within normal limits, even if they feel “too loud” or “too big,” and (c) training self-cueing and attention to action to facilitate long-term maintenance of treatment outcomes. …”

Mechanistic and Experimental Aspects of the Structural Characterization of Some Model and Real Systems by Nitrogen Sorption and Mercury Porosimetry by Carlos Felipe, Fernando Rojas, Isaac Kornhauser, Matthias Thommes, Giorgio Zgrablich

“…The experimental pore systems examined consisted of two substrates: (a) a globular solid composed of monodisperse silica spheres in a perfect rhombohedral arrangement and (b) a controlled pore glass solid. Comparisons between the experimental nitrogen sorption and mercury porosimetry pore-size distributions demonstrated: (i) the existence of several mechanistic effects responsible of irreversible capillary behaviour that influences the calculation of pore structure parameters; (ii) the choice of the right sorption process (i.e. condensation or evaporation) suitable for comparison with either intrusion or extrusion results; (iii) the types of porous structures capable of convenient pore-size characterization by either nitrogen sorption and/or mercury porosimetry methods; and (iv) the nature of the pore entities (i.e. chambers or necks) that control the incumbent capillary process.…”
