An infrequent case of repeated HHV6 encephalitis in an immunocompetent adult.

Across all contemporaneous networks, negative trauma-related cognitions and emotions were most commonly the most central symptoms. Further, across all temporal networks, (a) negative trauma-related emotions were the most common driver of variation in other symptoms over time and (b) distressing trauma-related dreams and sleep disturbance were the most common downstream consequences of variation in other PTSD symptoms over time. We also reviewed data from two randomly selected participants to illustrate how this approach could be used to identify maintenance factors of PTSD for each individual and guide individual treatment planning.

The electric field has been found to affect tissue development and regeneration, and the piezoelectric properties of biological materials in the human body are known to provide electric fields by pressure. Therefore, great attention has been paid to the understanding of piezoelectricity in biological tissues and its building blocks. The aim herein is to describe the principle of piezoelectricity in biological materials from the very basic building blocks (i.e., amino acids, peptides, proteins, etc.) to highly organized tissues (i.e., bones, skin, etc.). Research progress on the piezoelectricity within various biological materials is summarized, including amino acids, peptides, proteins, and tissues. The mechanisms and origin of piezoelectricity within various biological materials are also covered. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

There are currently no widely accepted standard symbols to simultaneously represent both gender identity and assigned sex at birth within a pedigree. Previous studies assessing perspectives from members of the transgender and gender non-binary (TGNB) community have highlighted the need for a unique symbol to represent non-binary individuals and better ways to represent core gender identities for gender minorities such as transgender individuals. In our experience we have encountered similar dilemmas with documentation for individuals with DSDs in terms of a lack of unequivocal symbolic representation within the pedigree. Here we propose three distinct symbols for gender identity combined with superscript symbols to represent sex assigned at birth, which we think may unequivocally represent TGNB individuals and patients with DSDs. It is clear that further research is needed to ensure that any proposed changes are acceptable by and respectful of all patients regardless of their gender identity and assigned sex at birth. We hope that further research will include focus groups and surveys to get broader input from gender minority stakeholders so that new standards can be developed and modified as we strive to meet the needs of our increasingly diverse patient population. © 2020 National Society of Genetic Counselors.This study was performed on all Eryngium species growing in Tunisia in order to evaluate their intra and interspecies variabilities and to investigate their biological activities. These species are used in traditional medicine and literature about the phytochemical investigations of most of them is scarce. Antimicrobial and light-enhanced activities were tested against multiresistant microorganisms and extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing bacteria (ESBL). All studied species showed antimicrobial effect with several MIC values lower than 70 µg/ml. Tested Eryngium species have proven to be a promising source of photoactive compounds, while light-enhanced activity offers an alternative for the inactivation of pathogenic micro-organisms which is currently subject to a great interest. This is the first report of this activity in genus Eryngium . A significant improvement of antimicrobial activity with UV irradiation was observed, mainly for E. dichotomum , E. ilicifolium and E. triquetrum . Cytotoxicity, studied for the first time for the most species, was evaluated against cancer (J774) and non-cancer (WI38) human cell lines. Chemical composition of volatile compounds presented in the most active crude extracts (petroleum ether extracts) of the aerial parts was investigated using GC-MS analysis and was submitted to statistical analyses. It revealed their high content of bioactive phytochemicals, particularly oxygenated sesquiterpenes like spathulenol, ledol and α-bisabolol but also hydrocarbon sesquiterpenes such as β-bisabolene and copaene, as well as polyacetylene derivatives such as falcarinol. Statistical analyses permitted to evaluate the interrelations between all Tunisian Eryngium species. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Therefore, a chromatographic fingerprint method was developed for the quality evaluation of a multi-component biochemical drug, Transfer Factor Injection. HPLC-fingerprint was carried out on a C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a mobile phase composed of 0.1% Trifluoroacetic acid-water and 0.085% Trifluoroacetic acid-acetonitrile under gradient elution. The developed method was validated and was subsequently applied to 57 batches of commercial products which sampling on National Drug Assessment Program. High resolution mass spectrometry analysis was performed on characteristic peaks of fingerprints, and a series of amino acids, nucleosides, and deoxynucleosides were identified. In the fingerprint assessments, Principal Component Analysis and Hotelling T2 analysis yielded the best results. The results generally indicated that there was a significant difference among products of batch-to-batch or from different manufacturers.
