It is a very rare syndrome resulting from anatomical abnormalities of the thoracic outlet, causing thrombosis of the deep veins draining the upper extremity. This disease is also called “effort thrombosis― because of increased association with vigorous and repetitive upper extremity activities. Symptoms include severe upper extremity pain and swelling after strenuous activity. A 31-year-old female with a history of vascular thoracic outlet syndrome, two prior thrombectomies, and right first rib resection presented with symptoms of loss of blood sensation, dull pain in the area, and sharp pain when coughing/sneezing. When the patient had her first blood clot, physical exam was notable for swelling, venous distension, and skin discoloration. The patient had her first thrombectomy in her right upper extremity a couple weeks after the first clot was discovered. Thrombolysis with TPA was initiated, and percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy with angioplasty of the axillary and subclavian veins was performed. Almost immediately after the thrombectomy, the patient had a rethrombosis which was confirmed by ultrasound.

  • Role of Cornification and Triglyceride Synthesis Genes
    Gillespie et al. BMC Genomics 2013, 14:169 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/14/169 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Transcriptome analysis of pigeon milk production – role of cornification and triglyceride synthesis genes Meagan J Gillespie1,2*, Tamsyn M Crowley1,3, Volker R Haring1, Susanne L Wilson1, Jennifer A Harper1, Jean S Payne1, Diane Green1, Paul Monaghan1, John A Donald2, Kevin R Nicholas3 and Robert J Moore1 Abstract Background: The pigeon crop is specially adapted to produce milk that is fed to newly hatched young. The process of pigeon milk production begins when the germinal cell layer of the crop rapidly proliferates in response to prolactin, which results in a mass of epithelial cells that are sloughed from the crop and regurgitated to the young. We proposed that the evolution of pigeon milk built upon the ability of avian keratinocytes to accumulate intracellular neutral lipids during the cornification of the epidermis. However, this cornification process in the pigeon crop has not been characterised. Results: We identified the epidermal differentiation complex in the draft pigeon genome scaffold and found that, like the chicken, it contained beta-keratin genes. These beta-keratin genes can be classified, based on sequence similarity, into several clusters including feather, scale and claw keratins. The cornified cells of the pigeon crop express several cornification-associated genes including cornulin, S100-A9 and A16-like, transglutaminase 6-like and the pigeon ‘lactating’ crop-specific annexin cp35. Beta-keratins play an important role in ‘lactating’ crop, with several claw and scale keratins up-regulated. Additionally, transglutaminase 5 and differential splice variants of transglutaminase 4 are up-regulated along with S100-A10.

Mootha Daniel Solomon Lieber Computational and Experimental Approaches For Evaluating the Genetic Basis of Mitochondrial Disorders Abstract Mitochondria are responsible for some of the cell’s most fundamental biological pathways and metabolic processes, including aerobic ATP production by the mitochondrial respiratory chain. In humans, mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to severe disorders of energy metabolism, which are collectively referred to as mitochondrial disorders and affect approximately 1:5,000 individuals. These disorders are clinically heterogeneous and can affect multiple organ systems, often within a single individual. Symptoms can include myopathy, exercise intolerance, hearing loss, blindness, stroke, seizures, diabetes, and GI dysmotility.

  • 1. Ceramide: the Center of Sphingolipid Biosynthesis
    Introduction 1. Ceramide: the center of sphingolipid biosynthesis 1.1. Introducing the sphingolipid family The cell membrane contains three main classes of lipids: glycerolipids, sphingolipids and sterols (Futerman and Hannun 2004; Gulbins and Li 2006; Grassme et al. 2007). First discovered by J.L. W. Thudichum in 1876, sphingolipids were considered to play primarily structural roles in membrane formation (Zheng et al. 2006; Bartke and Hannun 2009). However, by the end of the twentieth century, sphingolipids were described as effector molecules which are involved in the regulation of apoptosis, cell proliferation, cell migration, senescence, and inflammation (Hannun 1996; Perry and Hannun 1998; Hannun and Obeid 2002; Futerman and Hannun 2004; Ogretmen and Hannun 2004; Reynolds et al. 2004; Fox et al. 2006; Modrak et al. 2006; Saddoughi et al. 2008). Sphingolipid metabolism pathways have a unique metabolic entry point, serine palmitoyl transferase (SPT) which forms 3-ketosphinganine, the first sphingolipid in the de novo pathway and a unique exit point, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) lyase, which breaks down S1P into non-sphingolipid molecules. In this network, ceramide can be considered to be a metabolic hub because it occupies a central position in sphingolipid biosynthesis and catabolism (Hannun and Obeid 2008) (Figure 1). 1.2. Ceramide structure and metabolism Ceramide (Cer) from mammalian membranes is composed of sphingosine, which is an amide linked to a fatty acyl chain, varying in length from 14 to 26 carbon atoms (Mimeault 2002; Pettus et al. 2002; Ogretmen and Hannun 2004; Zheng et al. 2006) (Figure 1). Ceramide constitutes the metabolic and structural precursor for complex sphingolipids, which are composed of hydrophilic head groups, such as sphingomyelin, ceramide 1-phosphate, and glucosylceramide (Saddoughi et al.

  • Neuroscience in Nazi Europe Part II: Resistance Against the Third Reich Lawrence A
    HISTORICAL REVIEW Neuroscience in Nazi Europe Part II: Resistance against the Third Reich Lawrence A. Zeidman ABSTRACT: Previously, I mentioned that not all neuroscientists collaborated with the Nazis, who from 1933 to 1945 tried to eliminate neurologic and psychiatric disease from the gene pool. Oskar and Cécile Vogt openly resisted and courageous ly protested against the Nazi regime and its policies, and have been discussed previously in the neurology literature. Here I discuss Alexander Mitscherlich, Haakon Saethre, Walther Spielmeyer, Jules Tinel, and Johannes Pompe. Other neuroscientists had ambivalent roles, including Hans Creutzfeldt, who has been discussed previously. Here, I discuss Max Nonne, Karl Bonhoeffer, and Oswald Bumke. The neuroscientists who resisted had different backgrounds and moti vations that likely influenced their behavior, but this group undoubtedly saved lives of colleagues, friends, and patients, or at least prevented forced sterilizations. By recognizing and understanding the actions of these heroes of neuroscience, we pay homage and realize how ethics and morals do not need to be compromised even in dark times. RÉSUMÉ: Neuroscience en Europe sous domination nazie, 2e partie : résistance contre le Troisième Reich. J’ai mentionné antéri eurement que tous les neuroscientifiques n’avaient pas collaboré avec les nazis qui, de 1933 à 1945, ont tenté d’éliminer la maladie neurologique et psychiatrique du patrimoine génétique. Oskar et Cécile Vogt se sont opposés ouvertement et ont protesté courageusement contre le régime nazi et ses politiques. Ce sujet a déjà été exposé dans la littérature neurologique. Je discute ici d’Alexander Mitscherlich, de Haakon Saethre, de Walther Spielmeyer, de Jules Tinel et de Johannes Pompe.

  • Sanger Brown and Edward Schäfer Before Heinrich Klüver and Paul Bucy: Their Observations on Bilateral Temporal Lobe Ablations
    NEUROSURGICAL FOCUS Neurosurg Focus 43 (3):E2, 2017 Sanger Brown and Edward Schäfer before Heinrich Klüver and Paul Bucy: their observations on bilateral temporal lobe ablations Prasad S. S. V. Vannemreddy, MD,1 and James L. Stone, MD2 1Department of Neurosurgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Illinois; and 2Department of Neurosurgery, NYU Langone Medical Center, New York, New York Fifty years before a report on the complete bitemporal lobectomy syndrome in primates, known as the Klüver-Bucy syndrome, was published, 2 talented investigators working at the University College in London, England—neurologist Sanger Brown and physiologist Edward Schäfer—also made this discovery. The title of their work was “An investigation into the functions of the occipital and temporal lobes of the monkey’s brain,” and it involved excisional brain surgery in 12 monkeys. They were particularly interested in the then-disputed primary cortical locations relating to vision and hearing. However, following extensive bilateral temporal lobe excisions in 2 monkeys, they noted peculiar behavior including ap- parent loss of memory and intelligence resembling “idiocy.” These investigators recognized most of the behavioral find- ings that later came to be known as the Klüver-Bucy syndrome. However, they were working within the late-19th-century framework of cerebral cortical localizations of basic motor and sensory functions. Details of the Brown and Schäfer study and a glimpse of the neurological thinking of that period is presented. In the decades following the pivotal work of Klüver and Bucy in the late 1930s, in which they used a more advanced neuro- surgical technique, tools of behavioral observations, and analysis of brain sections after euthanasia, investigators have elaborated the full components of the clinical syndrome and the extent of their resections.
