Abstract:
Males that produce conspicuous mate attraction signals are often at high risk of predation from eavesdropping predators. Females of such species typically search for signalling males and their higher motility may also place them at risk. The relative predation risk faced by males and females in the context of mate-finding using long-distance signals has rarely been investigated. In this study, we show, using a combination of diet analysis and behavioural experiments, that katydid females, who do not produce acoustic signals, are at higher risk of predation from a major bat predator, Megaderma spasma , than calling males. Female katydids were represented in much higher numbers than males in the culled remains beneath roosts of M. spasma . Playback experiments using katydid calls revealed that male calls were approached in only about one-third of the trials overall, whereas tethered, flying katydids were always approached and attacked. Our results question the idea that necessary costs of mate-finding, including risk of predation, are higher in signalling males than in searching females.

Abstract:
Haemosporidia parasites have mostly and abundantly been described using mitochondrial genes, and in particular cytochrome b (cytb). Failure to amplify the mitochondrial cytb gene of Nycteria parasites isolated from Nycteridae bats has been recently reported. Bats are hosts to a diverse and profuse array of Haemosporidia parasites that remain largely unstudied. There is a need to obtain more molecular data from chiropteran parasites. Such data would help to better understand the evolutionary history of Haemosporidia, which notably include the Plasmodium parasites, malaria’s agents. We use next-generation sequencing to obtain the complete mitochondrial genome of Nycteria parasites from African Nycteris grandis (Nycteridae) and Rhinolophus alcyone (Rhinolophidae) and Asian Megaderma spasma (Megadermatidae). We report four complete mitochondrial genomes, including two rearranged mitochondrial genomes within Haemosporidia. Our results open outlooks into potentially undiscovered Haemosporidian diversity.

Abstract:
Mechanisms underlying coronary spasm are still poorly understood. The aim of the study was to assess the hypothesis that fluctuations in the development of coronary spasm might reflect inputs from the adjacent esophageal system. We enrolled patients admitted to the coronary care unit for episodes of nocturnal angina. Seven patients with variant angina and five with coronary artery disease (CAD) had concurrent ECG and esophageal manometric monitoring. ECG monitoring documented 28 episodes of ST elevation in variant angina patients and 16 episodes of ST depression in CAD patients. Manometric analysis showed that esophageal spasms resulted remarkably more frequently in variant angina patients (143 total spasms; individual range 9–31) than in CAD patients (20 total spasms; individual range 0–9; P < 0.01). Time series analysis was used to assess fluctuations in the occurrence of abnormal esophageal waves and its relationship with spontaneous episodes of ST shift. Episodes of esophageal spasm in CAD were sporadic (<1 in 30 min) and not related to ECG-recorded ischemia. In the variant angina group, esophageal spasms were time related to ischemia (>1 into 5 min before ECG-recorded ischemia) ( P < 0.05). A bidirectional analysis of causal effects showed that the influence processes between esophageal and coronary spasms were mutual and reciprocal (transfer function model, P < 0.05) in variant angina. We concluded that in variant angina patients, episodes of esophageal spasms and myocardial ischemia influenced each other. Mechanisms that cause esophageal spasm can feed back to produce coronary spasm. Coronary spasm may feed forward to produce additional episodes of esophageal spasm.

Abstract:
West syndrome (WS), synonymously infantile spasm or epileptic spasm, is a rare type of epileptic encephalopathy occurring at early infancy that exists with variable life expectancy. It is the most common form of epileptic encephalopathy. WS presents with spasms marked by extensor or mixed movements with distinct electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern of hypsarrhythmia, flexor and psychomotor arrest. Children with west syndrome always depict abnormal EEG, but sometimes the abnormality is seen only during sleep. The incidence of infantile spasms is found closer to 1 in 2,000 children, that typically begins between 2-12 months of age and peaks between 4-8 months of age. It is observed in otherwise healthy infants and also among infants with abnormal cognitive development. If this spasm happens in older subjects, they are preferably called "epileptic spasms" rather than infantile spasms. The goal for treatment of infantile spasms is to have complete control of spasms. Hormonal therapy with ACTH or vigabatrin is the mainstay of treatment. In spite of the development of new antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), about 35-40% of cases are drug-resistant. Children affected with the west syndrome can be cured, but a successful therapy often depends on the timely diagnosis. This case report is one evidence highlighting the treatment strategy for the west syndrome, and this could be useful for any further study regarding this topic.

Abstract:
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the modified Atkins diet in children with epileptic spasms who had failed hormonal therapy. Methods: Children aged 9 months to 3 years having daily epileptic spasms despite a trial of ACTH or oral prednisolone and 1 additional anticonvulsant medication were enrolled. Children were randomly assigned to receive the modified Atkins diet either immediately or after a delay of 4 weeks. The ongoing anticonvulsant medications were continued unchanged. The primary outcome variable was the proportion of children who achieved spasm freedom as per parental reports at 4 weeks. Secondary outcomes included time to spasm cessation, proportion of children with electroclinical remission, the proportion of children with >50% reduction of spasms at 4 weeks, and adverse effects of the diet. ( ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03807141). Results: A total of 91 children were enrolled in the study; 46 in the diet group and 45 in the control group. At the end of 4 weeks, 11 children in the diet group were spasm free compared with none in the control group ( P ≤ .001). The median time to achieve spasm cessation was 10 days (interquartile range 9-20). Nine of these had resolution of hypsarrhythmia on electroencephalography (EEG). Thirty (65.2%) in the diet group had >50% reduction in spasms, compared with none in the control group ( P < .001). The most common side effect was constipation, noted in 34.8% of the children. Conclusions: The modified Atkins diet was found to be effective and well tolerated in children with epileptic spasms refractory to hormonal therapy.

Abstract:
There have never been functional studies in the diagnosis of hemifacial spasm caused by neurovascular compression. We used neurointerventional techniques to conduct a functional investigation of the artery responsible for hemifacial spasm in seven patients. A microcatheter was inserted into the various arteries of the posterior circulation under systemic heparinization, and its effect on the spasm was evaluated clinically and electromyographically. In six patients who underwent microvascular decompression surgery, the vessels compressing the root exit zone of the facial nerve were surgically determined, and compared with the result of the procedure. The catheter was inserted into twelve arteries. The spasms were stopped immediately and completely by the insertion of the catheter into seven arteries. Six of them were surgically proven to compress the root exit zone of the facial nerve. The spasm was changed in frequency or in type by the insertion into two arteries. These arteries were also compressing the root exit zone. One artery was located at a more peripheral part of it and the other was running over another artery compressing the root exit zone. The spasms were not affected at all by the insertion into three arteries. These arteries were not observed in the operative field and had no contact with the nerve. Superselective ‘angiograms showedpositional qnd configurational changes of the arteries. There was no arterial spasm and tight catheterization leading to stasis of contrast material within the arteries. There were no complications related to the procedures. Functional relationship between the artery and the spasms was established in all the patients, and one patient refused surgery because the frequency of the spasm was reduced by the procedure. The result of this study may suggest that a functional investigation of hemifacial spasm is feasible and seems useful for selecting good candidates for microvascular decompression surgery.

Abstract:
This thesis examines several aspects of the debate on the choice of best firstline treatment for infantile spasms. The first part of the thesis describes, analyses and interprets outcomes from the United Kingdom Infantile Spasms Study (UKISS), a multicentre randomised controlled trial that compares treatment with prednisolone or tetracosactide (hormonal treatments) against vigabatrin. This study was coordinated from the Bath Unit for Research in Paediatrics at the Royal United Hospital, Bath, and showed that the early primary clinical response, cessation of spasms, was significantly more likely in infants who were allocated hormonal treatments. However, the overall proportions with relapse-free response at the end of the study period, when the child reached the age of 12 to 14 months, were similar in all three treatment groups. In a group of infants of a priori interest who had no identified underlying aetiology, neurodevelopmental outcomes were significantly better in children who had been allocated hormonal treatments, although this finding was not robust within a sensitivity analysis. The second part of the thesis examines problems with case definitions and outcome measures in epidemiological and interventional studies of infantile spasms, and describes the development of West Delphi, a consensus elicitation process that has produced published proposals for standardised case definitions and outcome measures for such studies. Its most novel proposals were: (1) that the primary clinical outcome cessation of spasms should be defined by the absence of observed spasms for at least 28 days from the time of the last observed spasms, with the last spasms being observed within 14 days of treatment allocation; and (2) that there should be a standardised primary electroclinical response that studies should also report as a primary outcome.

Abstract:
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) can be used to assist patients with complete paraplegia arising from a traumatic spinal cord injury to stand. In clinical practice the take-up of this technology is poor. It was hypothesised that one potential reason was that the posture during standing was difficult to predict from non-standing biomechanical measures because of the spinal cord's motor responses to standing. In six patients biomecharrical and electrophysiological recordings were made to test whether motor activity arising as a result of standing affected their standing posture. Recordings were made using surface EMG electrodes, force plates and instrumented handles a motion analysis system. No motor activity that affected the posture of the patients was recorded during standing or when the patients changed their hip or ankle angles. The act of standing with FES assistance affected spasms in two of the six patients. In one patient his spasms became regularised to a 16s pattern when standing with FES but when standing without FES and in the second patient his spasms were stopped for periods of up to 7 hours. This prolonged cessation only occurred when standing with FES. Mechanically supported standing produced a short (5 minute) cessation in the activity. The neural activity during the sit-to-stand or steady state standing did not change with increasing experience of standing in one naive subject studied over 6 weeks. The patient used the same strategy for the sit-to-stand as other patients. He improved his performance of this strategy by shortening the phases and the intervals between the phases as well as reducing the safety margin for knee buckling. The spinal cord when removed from descending inputs is capable of generating rhythmical motor outputs in response to changes in sensory inputs. FES may interact with some of this oscillatory activity.

Abstract:
The early onset epileptic encephalopathy of infantile spasms is frequently associated with acute cognitive regression, long-term learning disability and autistic spectrum disorder. Although there may be a structural basis to the epilepsy, it appears that seizure activity is directly implicated in the process associated with the above disabilities. There are strong indications of the crucial role of temporal lobe dysfunction in children within this and related epileptic regressions including the site of lesions in tuberous sclerosis and the EEG localisation in a later onset epileptic encephalopathy, the Landau-Kleffner-syndrome. Thus the hypothesis for this study was that the temporal lobe is functionally abnormal in children with infantile spasms. This was tested by recording event related potentials, the electrical indicators of the brain's perception and processing of auditory stimuli. The aims of the current study were to describe the normal developmental changes of mismatch-negativity (MMN) and novelty P3 in the first year of life and to identify whether these ERPs are abnormal in children with infantile spasms. The developmental status of infants with infantile spasms was assessed at presentation. The MMN was only shown in a group mean average in control infants. All obligatory and the endogenous P250, P500, Ncl and Nc2 ERP components of the control infants showed age dependent latencies and differed in latency between wakefulness and stage 2 sleep. Using nonparametric calculations infants with infantile spasms had prolonged latencies of the obligatory and endogenous components during both wakefulness and sleep compared to controls. The results of this study support the hypothesis that the auditory processing is interrupted in infants with infantile spasms. As the auditory cortex is very immature during the first year of life it is therefore suggested that infantile spasms may interfere with crucial maturational processes during the first year of life.

Abstract:
Mothers of Sparta is a collection of thirteen personal essays that examine place—knowing one’s place, and finding one’s place in the world. The narrative arc chronicles the narrator’s childhood, young adulthood, marriage and child rearing years, ultimately encompassing the difficulties of raising a child who, due to brain damage, faces an uncertain future. As the narrator grows older, place shifts from a concrete knowledge of the physical world around her, to learning her place within gendered and regional social constructs, and defining her place through roles such as wife, mother, student and writer. These essays are diverse in style. Woven throughout is a theme of violence, weighted with visceral language: the violence of accident and death, the violence that occurs in nature and in domestic spaces, and the violence that often goes unnoticed because we live in a violent world.

Abstract:
During the XVI Century the warlike vocation of the reign of Castiglia, shaped during the centuries of the Reconquista, and the wars conducted by the Absburgs towards many frontlines, gave a great contribution for the creation of a strong burocratic structure which gave the opportunity made possible to Spain to give itself a modern country dimension. Particularly, a great impulse for the empowerment of the administrative structure came from the development and the complex management of the military fleet, committed in the Mediterranean area in many naval activities against Turks. In the first half of the XVII century Spain was forced to display all its immense military potential during the long conflict that interested the countries of half Europe between 1618 and 1648: the Thirty Years War. To sustain the expensive politics of intervention, all the reigns of the Crown were called to give their contribution. Among them, also Sardinia, in spite of her poverty and marginality, joined with conviction the politic project of the Unión de Armas. The opening of the new front against France, in 1635, risked to bring the monarchy into collapse: insurrections and revolts exploded in Portugal, Catalogna and in the Reigns of Naples and Sicily; in the Atlantic sea the Armada del Mar Océano had terrible defeats by nordish fleets; while in the mainland the tercios lost their primacy of unbeatability. Only the Mediterranean fleets of galleys, even if strongly reduced, compared to the previous century, and technologically overtaken by the sail ships, even if did not succeed in dominating could at least contrast the enemy and preserve in some kind the precious vital space of a power already in decline.

Abstract:
Background: SPS is a disorder consisting of rigidity of axial muscles with painful spasms. More than 80 % of SPS patients have high titer antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). The use of rituximab for the treatment of SPS is a recent therapeutical approach showing promising results. We present a case of SPS treated with rituximab, showing a good and safe response. Case: A 38-year-old female patient presented with a history of rigidity of abdominal and paravertebral muscles associated with painful spasms in lower back region, increased tonus, lumbar lordosis, frequent falls and severe functional limitation. The anti-GAD antibodies were positive in high titles. Electromyography showed continuous motor activity with normal morphology especially on paravertebral muscles. She had a partial response to baclofen and diazepam, but could not tolerate it because of somnolence, and started the treatment with rituximab. After one year, the baclofen was discontinued and the diazepam reduced. The axial stiffness and spasm frequency improved, including postural instability, without new episodes of falls. Discussion: Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody targeting the CD20 antigens on the surface of mature B lymphocytes. After binding to these antigens, it initiates a cascade of biochemical events leading to apoptosis. Its use has been approved for numerous diseases with promising results. The use of rituximab in the treatment of SPS is a recent approach and good results have been reported. Conclusion: Rituximab may be a promising option in SPS treatment. However, this is a preliminary paper showing partial results requiring long-term follow-up.

Abstract:
Introduction: The rigid person syndrome is rare, characterized by blockade of the GAD enzyme, responsible for inhibiting muscle contraction. Although it is not mandatory for the diagnosis, most patients are positive for Anti-GAD. Objectives: To report a case of rigid person syndrome seen at Hospital Geral de Goiânia. Methods: Information was obtained through clinical follow-up in a neurology ward and outpatient clinic. Results: Patient, female, 32 years old, complaining of paresthesia ascending to upper limbs, worsening over a period of six months with paresis with gait impairment, increased tone and muscle spasms. Patient with multiple consultations with a neurologist and psychiatrist, using polypharmacy. During hospitalization, the patient reported severe pain in the limbs. On examination, she had grade 3 strength and quadrisegmental hypertonia with intermittent periods of generalized spasm, exacerbated during periods of greater anxiety. Hypothesis of rigid person syndrome was raised and anti-GAD 1,680 results were obtained. The patient responded well with high doses of diazepam, baclofen and pregabalin. Conclusion: The case represents a definitive diagnosis of rigid person syndrome, a rare pathology that affects 1–2 patients per 1,000,000, mainly females. This study contributes to future research in this area since knowledge in this area is still scarce.

Abstract:
This paper presents our interest in new therapies like Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy. Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy distributes high-frequency electromagnetic energy into the desired tissue which leads to selective tissue hyperthermy. Thanks to this mechanism patients experience instant pain relief, muscle relaxation, edema reduction, tissue regeneration support and healing. The most common indications include: local muscle spasm, trigger points, myalgia, tendinitis, cervical pain, and post-traumatic edema. The immediate therapeutic effect is noticed by the patient instantly and lasts long after the therapy. The goal of the present study is to highlight the medical effect in recovery by using the Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy. The main method used to fulfill this study has been even the implementation of the mechanism of action of Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy. The findings are regarding to the muscle relaxation, tissue regeneration and healing, pain relief. So, the Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy helps relieve trigger points and muscle spasms that prevent regaining the full range of joint movement. For example use of the Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy in combination with passive stretching of the shortened structures leads to their relief and immediately broadens the range of motion in the given segment. Combining the Targeted Radiofrequency Therapy and isometric or isotonic muscle contraction focuses the hyperthermy into the contracted muscle. Delivered radiofrequency energy facilitates these fibers and leads to their incorporation in the performed muscle stereotypes.

Abstract:
Online social networks have gone mainstream: millions of users have come to rely on the wide range of services provided by social networks. However, the ease use of social networks for communicating information also makes them particularly vulnerable to social spammers, i.e., ill-intentioned users whose main purpose is to degrade the information quality of social networks through the proliferation of different types of malicious data (e.g., social spam, malware downloads, and phishing) that are collectively called low-quality content or spams. Since Twitter is also rife with low-quality content, several researchers have devised various low-quality detection strategies that inspect tweets for the existence of spam contents. We carried out a literature survey of these low-quality detection strategies, examining which strategies are still applicable in the current scenario – taken into account that Twitter has undergone a lot of changes in the last few years. To gather some evidence of the usefulness of the attributes used by the low-quality detection strategies, we carried out a preliminary evaluation of these attributes.

Full text
Abstract:
Context: We present a patient diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis (TS) who developed West Syndrome (WS) early on. Early diagnosis of TS is important for genetic counseling and WS requires early intervention to avoid neurodevelopmental deficits. Case report: Y.S.L.C., female, 45 days old, presented cardiac rhabdomyoma and 9 hypomelanotic lesions, being diagnosed with TS. At 2 months old, she presented epileptic seizures of flexion spasms, which progressed in 1 week to neuropsychomotor development (NP) regression and hypsarrhythmia. She was diagnosed with WS and treated with vigabatrin. There was suppression of hypsarrhythmic pattern at 8 months old. Currently 8 years old, she has hypochromic stains, hemangiomyolipomas in the right kidney, bilateral renal cysts, sebaceous adenomas, facial angiofibromas, cortical tubers, subependymal nodules, Intellectual Disability and Focal Epilepsy. Conclusions: ET is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in TSC1 and TSC2 genes leading neurodevelopmental changes and cellular hyperplasias. TE diagnosis is clinical, based on major (such as facial angiofibromas, nail fibroma and hypopigmented macules) and minor criteria and molecular tests in doubtful cases. TE is associated with epilepsy in 80-90% of cases (30 to 50% of infantile spasms). WS is an encephalopathy of infantile spasms, NP arrest/regression and hypsarrhythmia. Early diagnosis and use of anti-epileptic drugs are necessary to avoid cognitive impairment.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the prognostic status of PET/MRI on surgery in patients with refractory epilepsy, and the methods chosen were randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case series of >15 patients. Condition being studied: Medically intractable epilepsy, characterized by recurrent episodes of tonicity, disorientation, spasms, and convulsions, affects 1-2% of the population because treatment trials with 3 or more different antiepileptic drugs have failed. Patients are selected for PET mainly because other standard noninvasive tests (especially MRI and EEG) fail to provide sufficiently reliable localization to allow precise excision of the epileptogenic zone and a good prognosis.

Abstract:
The management and recovery of threatened and endangered amphibians on Department of Defense (DoD) lands relies on an understanding of their distribution and abundance. Fortunately, most anuran species can be surveyed acoustically using vocalizations during the breeding season. This work demonstrated the use of subsurface passive acoustic monitoring (SPAM) to survey for rare underwater-calling, at-risk anuran species on DoD installations. We evaluated the performance of SPAM relative to traditional passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) (microphone) and human manual calling survey (MCS) methods. Results showed that SPAM outperformed PAM and MCS in validation experiments where calls were generated underwater; SPAM was less successful than PAM and MCS in the field demonstration. Most leopard frog calls were apparently produced in air despite previous reports of extensive underwater-calling behavior. This project highlights how acoustic information can help address a data gap in the ecology of at-risk species, which can help refine future survey methodology and management efforts. Ultimately, the utility of SPAM for underwater-calling species will depend on the focal species, the landscape where it occurs, and technological considerations available to the surveyor. SPAM is more expensive than traditional methods but, in some situations, may be the only way to effectively detect species.
