Telemedicine Improves Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Adherence in Stroke Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea in a Randomized Trial
Background: The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very high in stroke patients, whereas the acceptance of positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy is low. Although telemedicine offers new options to increase acceptance, effective concepts and patient groups are not yet known. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a telemedicine concept consisting of telemonitoring and support when usage time drops. Methods: PAP naive stroke patients with apnea-hypopnea index...

Aligning Lung Function Equipment and Reference Values in Adults
Background: When introducing new equipment or reference equations into the lung function laboratory, systematic z-score deviations could arise due to local differences in population or equipment. Objective: To propose a workable method for aligning reference equations with lung function equipment. Method: Using two cases of equipment transition in our laboratory as a test case, we first performed lung function testing after the transition, on a control group of 40 normal young adults (20 male/20...

Pulmonary Embolism and Gas Exchange
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) impairs hemodynamics, gas exchange, and lung mechanical capacity. Considering PE pathophysiology, most attention has been paid to hemodynamic impairment. However, the most prevalent symptoms in PE patients come from gas exchange alterations, which have not been in the spotlight for many years. Pulmonary physiology and consequent gas exchange impairment play a pivotal role in the high risk of death from PE. In this review, we will look at the pathophysiology of PE, from...

Near optimal encoding of numerosity in typical and dyscalculic development
Publication date: Available online 6 August 2019Source: CortexAuthor(s): Giovanni Anobile, David C. Burr, Filippo Gasperini, Guido Marco CicchiniAbstractDyscalculia is often associated with poor numerosity sensitivity. However, it is not known whether the perceptual systems of dyscalculics have implicit access to the sensory noise of numerosity judgments, and whether their perceptual systems take the noise levels into account in optimizing their perception. We tackled this question by measuring central...

Concerns about prevalent orchid viruses
Researchers have investigated the evolution of the two most prevalent orchid viruses using information representing their global distribution. The study revealed that considerable international trade of cultivated orchids has effectively 'homogenized' the genetic diversity of the viruses. In other words, the two viruses have displayed few genetic differences since their first emergence, across countries and host plants.

Activist Anthropologist Sentenced to 18 Months in Prison
“If you want to beat me for my heartfelt birthday poem, come and find me at my home. Ask the bodabodamen [male commercial motorcycle drivers] to direct you to Mama Stella’s house with a red gate,” anthropologist Stella Nyanzi wrote at the end of a Facebook post last September. Nyanzi had dedicated the poem to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, who has been in office since 1986. On November 2, 2018, the government arrested Nyanzi, charging her with “cyber harassment” and “offensive communication.”...

S100A9 extends lifespan in insulin deficiency
Nature Communications, Published online: 07 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11498-xInsulin replacement is a valuable therapy for insulin deficiency, however, other therapies are being investigated to restore metabolic homeostasis. Here, the authors identify S100A9 as a leptin induced circulating cue that improves glucose and lipid homeostasis and extends survival in insulin deficient mice.

Visualisation of dCas9 target search in vivo using an open-microscopy framework
Nature Communications, Published online: 07 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11514-0Single-particle tracking PALM (sptPALM) provides quantitative information in vivo if the protein of interest remains in a single diffusional state during track acquisition. Here the authors develop a custom-built sptPALM microscope and a Monte-Carlo based diffusion distribution analysis to study dynamic DNA-dCas9 interactions in live bacteria.

Anode interfacial layer formation via reductive ethyl detaching of organic iodide in lithium–oxygen batteries
Nature Communications, Published online: 07 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11544-8To fulfill the great promise of Li-O2 batteries, the high charge overpotential is a major challenge that has to be addressed. Here the authors introduce triethylsulfonium iodide as a redox mediator as well as an enabler of a protective layer on Li anode, leading to notable electrochemical performance.

ARID1A and PI3-kinase pathway mutations in the endometrium drive epithelial transdifferentiation and collective invasion
Nature Communications, Published online: 07 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11403-6PIK3CA mutations and ARID1A loss co-exist in endometrial neoplasms. Here, the authors show that these co-mutations drive gene expression profiles correlated with differential chromatin accessibility and ARID1A binding in the endometrial epithelium, resulting in partial EMT and myometrial invasion.

CD146-HIF-1α hypoxic reprogramming drives vascular remodeling and pulmonary arterial hypertension
Nature Communications, Published online: 07 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11500-6Vascular remodelling contributes to the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Here Luo and colleagues find that increases in CD146 levels drive vascular remodelling in PH through a cross-talk with hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) signalling, and show that inhibition of CD146 can attenuate disease progression.

Ultra-sensitive digital quantification of proteins and mRNA in single cells
Nature Communications, Published online: 07 August 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-11531-zDigital proximity ligation assay (dPLA) can measure proteins and mRNAs in single cells, but is not compatible with cell imaging and cannot quantify rare proteins due to a high dilution factor. Here the authors present an automated microfluidic device that combines live-cell imaging, chemical stimulation, and dPLA in a smaller reaction volume.
