X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome with CD40LG mutation: Two case reports and literature review in Taiwanese patients
We report an 18-year-old male who was diagnosed initially with hypogammaglobulinemia in infancy, but developed repeated pneumonia, sepsis, cellulitis, perianal abscess, pericarditis, and bronchiectasis despite regular intravenous immunoglobulin replacement therapy. The patient died at age 18 years due to pneumonia and tension pneumothorax. Mutation analysis revealed CD40L gene mutation within Exon 5 at nucleotide position 476 (cDNA 476G > A). This nonsense mutation predicted a tryptophan codon (TGG) change to a stop codon (TGA) at position 140 (W140X), preventing CD40L protein expression. Sequence analysis in the ...

The Intersection of the Extrinsic Hedgehog and WNT/Wingless Signals with the Intrinsic Hox Code Underpins Branching Pattern and Tube Shape Diversity in the Drosophila Airways
by Ryo Matsuda, Chie Hosono, Kaoru Saigo, Christos Samakovlis
The tubular networks of the Drosophila respiratory system and our vasculature show distinct branching patterns and tube shapes in different body regions. These local variations are crucial for organ function and organismal fitness. Organotypic patterns and tube geometries in branched networks are typically controlled by variations of extrinsic signaling but the impact of intrinsic factors on branch patterns and shapes is not well explored. Here, we show that the intersection of extrinsic hedgehog(hh) and WNT/wingless (wg) signaling with the tube-intrinsic Hox c...

Effect of different oxygen desaturation threshold levels on hypopnea scoring and classification of severity of sleep apnea
The conventional AHI was found to be susceptible even to minor changes in ODT level which may lead to substantial variability in AHI-based classification of disease severity. Since the adjusted AHI comprises information on severity of individual breathing cessations, it reduces the variability related to ODT levels used in hypopnea scoring and can increase the accuracy of estimation of OSA severity.

Extracorporeal life support as bridge to lung transplantation: a systematic review
In most of the studies, patients on ECMO while awaiting lung transplantation also received invasive mechanical ventilation. Therefore, whether ECMO as an alternative, rather than an adjunction, to invasive mechanical ventilation is a better bridging strategy to lung transplantation still remains an unresolved issue. ECMO support as a bridge for these patients could provide acceptable one-year survival. Future studies are needed to investigate ECMO as part of an algorithm of care for patients with end-stage lung disease. (Source: Critical Care)

Mitochondrial dysfunction in steatotic rat livers occurs because a defect in complex i makes the liver susceptible to prolonged cold ischemia
In conclusion, steatotic livers exhibited apparent mitochondrial dysfunction through an alteration in C‐I activity, and this made them more susceptible to prolonged cold ischemia. The clinically based IPC protocol used here restored MF in cases of mild hepatic steatosis by attenuating C‐I–mediated leaks after prolonged cold ischemia, but it did work not in livers with moderate or severe steatosis.

BACKGROUNDThe invention relates to a device for axially conveying body fluids.In particular, body fluids such as blood which can undergo irreversible changes caused by an energy input, such as in the case of emulsions and dispersions, can run into instable ranges in a disadvantageous manner when being conveyed incorresponding devices such as pumps.Blood is a particularly sensitive fluid system. This opaque red body fluid of the vertebrates circulates in a self-enclosed vessel system where rhythmic contractions of the heart press the blood into various areas of the organism. In this case,the blood transports the respiratory gases oxygen and carbon dioxide as well as nutrients, metabolic-products and endogenous active ingredients. The blood vessel system including the heart is hermetically isolated from the environment so that, in ahealthy organism, the blood does not undergo any changes when it is pumped through the body by way of the heart.It is known that, when blood comes into contact with non-endogenous materials or as a result of the effect of energy from an external source, it has a tendency to hemolysis and clot formation. Clot formation can be fatal for the organism becauseit can lead to blockage in the extensive branching profile of the vessel system. Hemolysis describes the condition where the red blood cells are destroyed within the body beyond the physiological dimension.The causes for hemolysis can be of a mechanical or metabolic nature. Increased hemolysis causes multiple organ damage and can lead to a person's death.On the other hand it is evident that it is possible in principle, under certain prerequisites with reference to constructive aspects, to support the pumping capacity of the heart or even to replace the natural heart with a synthetic one. However, a continuous operation of implanted heart supporting systems or synthetic hearts is presently only possible with certain limitations heart supporting systems or synthetic hearts is presently

Muslim gang investigation: Fifth arrest made after vigilantes hurl homophobic abuse at public
A fifth arrest has been made after a gang claiming to be Islamic vigilantes tormented members of the public, including by hurling homophobic abuse.
A 17-year-old boy was held this morning in Walthamstow, east London and is being questioned.
It is the latest in a series of arrests made since films were posted on YouTube featuring a gang harassing passers-by in east London on the weekend of January 12 and 13.
In one clip entitled "Muslim vigilantes in London harass and taunt gay male", they are heard to shout "get out of here you fag... don't stay around here any more".
In a second video, also posted online, men from the gang in Whitechapel tell another man "no drink in this area, it's a Muslim area" before ordering him to pour away his alcohol.
Police have urged the man targeted with homophobic abuse to come forward as "a crucial witness".
Detective chief inspector Wendy Morgan: "The Met takes such homophobic behaviour very seriously.
"This man is a crucial witness in the investigation and would encourage him and anyone else with information relating to this incident to make contact in confidence as soon as possible."
All of those arrested were held on suspicion of GBH and public order offences.
On January 20, a 22-year-old was held in Acton, west London and released on bail until March 12.
The following day, a 19-year-old was arrested after he went to an east London police station and was bailed until March 11.
On January 24 two men aged 25 and 29 were arrested and remain in custody at police stations in east London.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The severe storms that carved a path of destruction across large swaths of the American South this week caused an estimated $2 billion to $5 billion in insured losses, catastrophe modeling firm Eqecat said Friday.
Eqecat said the 2011 tornado season is just getting underway and is already setting damage records. The firm's estimate is based in part on initial reports of nearly 10,000 buildings destroyed.
The storms killed at least 316 people in six Southern states and left entire neighborhoods in ruins. On Friday, President Obama visited Tuscaloosa, Ala. neighborhoods that were flattened by tornados.
"I've got to say I've never seen devastation like this," he told reporters.
The storms leveled neighborhoods, rendered major roads impassable and left at least 800,000 customers without power Friday afternoon.
Even with that level of damage, Eqecat's cost estimate for the recent natural disasters in Japan was much higher.
Losses from the quake, tsunami and fires there totaled at least $100 billion, including $20 billion in damage to residences and $40 billion in damage to infrastructure such as roads, rail and port facilities, the firm estimated in March.
In the 1995 earthquake in Kobe, the most expensive earthquake in history, total losses were $100 billion, but insured losses only $3 billion, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
By comparison, the 1994 quake in Northridge, Calif., northwest of Los Angeles, had the highest tally of insured losses ever -- $15.3 billion. In today's dollars, adjusted for inflation, that comes to $22.7 billion.
-- The CNN Wire contributed to this report.

New Deal is working, but not for everyone
The moral is - there is no such thing as complete success in jobs market policies
However, 1.7 million people remain unemployed, on the international definition that they are looking for work and are available to work. And a further 17 million are "economically inactive" for reasons ranging from family responsibilities to sheer discouragement. The jobs market picture is more complicated than the headline jobless figures suggest.
The two aspects that are of greatest interest for policy purposes are the pace of job creation and the margin between unemployment and inactivity. Employment growth is a direct measure of the health of the jobs market, and shifts between formal unemployment and inactivity an indication of its pathologies.
The UK's recent performance on jobs growth has been impressive. Employment has reached the record level of 27.5 million, an increase of more than half a million in two years. Over a longer period, however, the UK has only been about half way up the international league table. A working paper from the International Monetary Fund* puts the British rate of jobs growth, 0.42 per cent a year on average over the years 1980-1997, at number 13 out of 21 OECD countries.
There are various possible explanations for differences in performance between countries. Some countries have seen rapid job creation because their working age population has grown fast, others because the pace of output growth has been high.
Taking account of these, however, leaves two interesting observations. One is that a group of non-European economies, especially the US, has completely outclassed Europe on the jobs front. The other is that within Europe, the Netherlands has done unexpectedly well in creating jobs.
Addressing the first of these points, the authors find a statistically important link between a high tax burden and strong job protection laws on the one hand and low jobs growth on the other, which is suggestive for economic policy.
As for the Netherlands, it finds that half the job creation can be accounted for by part-time jobs taken by women. No other European country has seem the same growth in part-time work. Most part-timers like it that way, so this growth is a plus for the economy.
But a new book** co-edited by one of the Treasury's economic advisers points out that the shift from unemployment to work is only one aspect of the performance of the jobs market. The other is the shift between unemployment and inactivity. A chapter by Paul Gregg and Jonathan Wadsworth shows that an increase in non-participation has flattered the decline in unemployment since 1993.
Not only has the number of inactive working-age people risen, the composition has changed dramatically. Women's participation rates have climbed sharply, while men's have declined. This decline has been more pronounced among the over-50s and is certainly concentrated amongst the unskilled. But no section of the male population has escaped increased inactivity. Meanwhile, most of the rise of 900,000 in female employment since 1993 has drawn previously inactive women into the workforce.
The reasons people give for quitting the jobs market altogether vary widely too. For women, it is overwhelmingly because they are caring for home and family, although older women are more likely to blame sickness. For men in all age groups sickness is blamed - suggesting claiming sickness benefit is indeed, as controversially alleged, a cover story for long- term unemployment. There is more support for this in the fact that the higher a region's unemployment rate, the higher its male inactivity rate too.
Further evidence for the different types of "inactivity" is that people who are classed as "seeking work, unable to start" actually do often find work within three months. There is clearly a hierarchy of ease with which the unemployed and inactive can make the transition into work, with those unemployed for more than a year and the "discouraged" component of the "inactive" at the bottom.
The moral is that there is no such thing as a complete success in jobs market policies. Except, perhaps, in the US, which has sucked into the jobs market the increase in the US-born working age population, its immigrants, many of its formerly inactive workers and still has unemployment at just a little over 4 per cent. The IMF's verdict is: "The United States experience is confirmed as an employment miracle." The UK still has some way to go.

Citroën's DS3 Cabrio Will Make You Feel Like a Long-Haired Baby on Horseback Tom Kuntz gets back to being weird
MJZ director Tom Kuntz has had some big advertising hits. Most notable, of course, was the original, Emmy-winning Isaiah Mustafa spot for Old Spice. He also directed the great "Cable Effects" ads for DirecTV, and had a couple of spots on this year's Super Bowl—Oreo's "Whisper Fight" and Volkswagen's Jamaican-flavored "Get Happy." But all that work is pretty mainstream. As evidenced by much of his artwork, Tom can make weirder stuff. And here's a very odd commercial he just did for Citroën's DS3 Cabrio car, via French agency H Paris. Seems the vehicle is targeted at a certain type of man who imagines himself, while driving, to be a cherubic toddler with long, flowing, flaxen hair, galloping along pristine beaches astride a giant white horse. (Yes, once again, he's on a horse.) Red lights occasionally interrupt this fantasy, though not enough to derail it. The campy, retro vibe—another Kuntz specialty, seen in other recent ads like the Hahn SuperDry spot from Australia—is cemented here by the use of Spandau Ballet's 1983 pop ballad "True" (a song that's suddenly a favorite of car ads, having popped up in that Chevy ad last year as well). Anyway, it's nice to see Kuntz finding an outlet for his more peculiar instincts—even if he has to go to Europe to do so. Credits below.

Title: How to remove plume from Yucca elephantipes in NJ?
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
In Manahawkin, NJ, how do we cut plume (2" diameter) off 10' Yucca elephantipes?ANSWER:
Spineless yucca grows natively in arid regions of southern Mexico and Central America, but it is also a popular landscape plant as well as an indoor plant in in the US. Since it is spineless and not as hard to deal with as some of the other yuccas, removing the plume should not be a large problem.
Mr. Smarty Plants thinks you will need the following: a step ladder (maybe 8 ft. tall), gloves, a long sleeve shirt, and of course lopping shears.
Once the plant has ceased blooming, remove the stalk with shears about 3 inches above where it grows from the main stem. Some people suggest cutting the stalk at an angle so that water won't puddle on the top of the cut stalk which can lead to rotting.

IN CASE YOU BE IGNORANT ABOUT US, SON, LANDOWNERZ IS THE #1 FARMING SIMULATOR 2011 CLAN! #1 IN HARVESTING, #1 IN PLANTING. CEREAL GRAINS, SOY, ALFALFA, there ain't a crop we can't drop. Don't look at the leader boards, just trust us.
FARMER_IN_THE_CITY (team captain)
Night Bailer
da milkman
Soy Bandit
Subsidize This
TBA: CLAN OVERALLS (rematch)
7/14: CERTIFIED ORGANIC (first match)
7/21 FARM FRESH (first match)
7/27 PRODUCE SECTION (exhibition match)
We lost our match to the JOHN DEERE BOYZ, but only because Soy Bandit wasn't feeling well after getting food poisoning. The bad Thai he ate caused him to take his 7545 RTS into the fields way before the crops were ready. We asked for a do-over when he started driving aimlessly in circles while moaning horribly over teamchat, but JOHN DEERE BOYZ apparently don't like even matches.
We just finished tough match against Agroculturists. Going to be honest, we made some mistakes. Grainman planted so much corn his graphics card freaked out and melted and all our computers slowed down while we tried to tame his epic field. Bottom line: we lost because of hardware failure.
Had an awesome moral victory over SPROUT GANG. Yeah, they out-harvested, but that's only because we tried a new strategy da milkman came up with. It didn't work, but we furthered the science and strategy of the game, which is way more than what Sprout Gang did. They just planted fields and systematically harvested them. No creativity or innovation. Landownerz on the other hand milked the shit out of a herd of cows we bought. You better believe our wrists were sore after that.
The boys in HARVEST OF DEATH managed to get one over on us. We're reviewing some screenshots for evidence of modded crops, which would be a serious breach of honor. Their central pivot irrigation tactics also raise some ethical issues. Meanwhile, we played a good fair game, though we lost a KRONE BIG X 1000 in an unfortunate collision with a EUROHIT 690 N.
We had to kick out HAYYAY out after he spent our entire match against CLAN OVERALLS camping in a barn. The only time he left was to pop out of a corn field and tell a joke. Because of his dumb chickenshit heehaw idiocy we lost our match. REMATCH, BABIES. It was a close one, because Night Bailer demoed those awesome skills of his and made short work of several fields. It just wasn't enough to make up for the betrayal we faced at the hands of HAYYAY.
GOD DAMNIT. BLACK CO-OPS are some cheating scum. Instead of trying to play a fair match against us, they used speedplanting and autoharvest hacks. In the time it took me to some recon circle-strafing around their entire hectare of land in my Agrotron K 420 they had already planted/harvested 3 times. I couldn't believe my eyes. Needless to say, as soon as a formal Farming Simulator 2011 league gets established, we'll be having BLACK CO-OPS blacklisted.
FARMER_IN_THE_CITY here. Just want to clear the air with Subsidize This and say there's no bad blood. I know you chatted up my girlfriend and said some pretty heavy sex stuff to her, and although you did say it all using farming euphemisms (props for that) it doesn't sting any less. But LANDOWNERZ is bigger than you, me or any one of us. I'm going to let this one slide because of our big match against BLACK CO-OPS tomorrow. We need you. I need you. But stay away from Sally.
We are very sad to let go of one of our own. Crop Master has resigned, mostly because the chaotic nature of multiplayer matches causes him a great deal of stress. His mom said he has autism and needs perfect order and working with human teammates and competing against human adversaries causes him to lose control and scream. We knew about the screaming over teamchat, but we thought he was just passionate. In honor of Crop Master we're pledging a portion of any potential cash winnings in any potential future FARMING SIMULATOR 2011 professional tournaments to finding a cure for autism so Crop Master can rejoin us.
Oh, and we narrowly lost our first match against BIG AGRIBUSINESS. There were a few communication issues that prevented us from working as a team (namely a lot of screaming), which is sad because any one of us could have defeated them singlehandedly. But it was a good lesson that we need to up our game, and we will.
A NEW ERA DAWNS! LANDOWNERZ is officially founded, featuring an all-star roster of farm sim pros. We aim to dominate the FARMING SIMULATOR 2011 scene like no other clan, so look out for us.

It's a true love effect for Billie's stage debut
Piper: Keep taking the tablets
Billie Piper, a former companion of Dr Who, will play a star-crossed lover when she makes her debut at the National Theatre.
The actress will appear opposite Jonjo O'Neill; the pair will play volunteers who meet at a clinic where they're taking part in a pharmaceutical trial.
They will be joined by Tom Goodman-Hill and Anastasia Hille in Lucy Prebble's drama The Effect, which Rupert Goold will direct for his Headlong theatre company as a co-production with the National.
'It's a got a hint of Romeo And Juliet, in that there are star-crossed lovers, played by Billie and Jonjo, and it's about how and why people fall in love,' Goold told me.
Along with showing 'love at its purest', Goold said, the play will feature the kind of 'intellectual fireworks' that Prebble included in her previous play Enron. Piper was last on stage in Michael Attenborough's production of Reasons To Be Pretty at the Almeida. 'She's got a very contemporary, emotionally real feel about her,' Goold added.
The Effect will begin performances at the Cottesloe Theatre on November 6. Next, Goold, who won praise recently for directing Richard II in the BBC's acclaimed Hollow Crown Shakespeare film series, will make his feature film debut directing Jonah Hill and James Franco in a thriller called True Story.
He will then direct Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's musical adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis's bloody satire American Psycho at the Almeida Theatre in the 2013 autumn season. The show, which like The Effect will be for Headlong, will feature music and lyrics by Duncan Sheik.
Spidey's looking for another London lair
The Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark is looking for a home in London, but so far all doors are closed.
It's not that theatre owners here don't like the geeky webslinger — it's just that the show is too big.
Producers Michael Cohl and Jeremiah J. Harris were on a recent scouting trip and visited, among other venues, the Palladium and the Drury Lane.
I should make it clear that, in any case, those theatres aren't available — even though Spidey wouldn't zoom in for a couple of years.
Spider-Man spokesman Rick Miramontez said there wasn't a theatre able to accommodate such an enormous physical production and added: 'Short of building a theatre, there doesn't seem to be a solution.'
Unless, of course, they can do a long-term deal with the 02.
Or pay Phil McIntyre a trillion bucks to move We Will Rock You out of the Dominion Theatre.
Stephen Daldry, the cultural czar overseeing the opening and closing ceremonies for the London Olympics and Paralympics, will be taking part in When Stephen Met Haile on Tuesday at 1pm, when he will interview Olympic long-distance superstar Haile Gebrselassie on stage at the Criterion Theatre, as part of that theatre's Playing The Games season.
Some of the actors from Ed Hall's gripping production of Chariots Of Fire at the Gielgud — which has had its own running track installed — are planning to pop over for inspiration.
Watch out for...
...Louise Dearman who will return to the London production of Wicked at the Apollo Victoria from October 29 playing Elphaba, the so-called Wicked Witch of the West.
Ms Dearman played Glinda, the good witch (or so she said . . . we know better) for a long spell until last December.
The producers say this is the first time the same leading lady has played both star roles in Wicked, which all of you in Wicked-land know imagines the origins of the witches from The Wizard Of Oz.
As Idina Menzel, who originated Elphaba here and on Broadway, once told me: 'Wicked is a plea for understanding and asks you to see the person, not what colour she is.'
Louise Dearman will return to the cast of Wicked but not in her former role of Glinda the Good, but as Elphaba
Heather Headley will play Rachel Marron in The Bodyguard musical at the Adelphi Theatre, played on the silverscreen by Whitney Houston
...Heather Headley who will fly in from Chicago early next month to start rehearsing her role in the musical version of The Bodyguard.
She will take the part of pop diva Rachel Marron (created on the big screen by Whitney Houston) opposite Lloyd Owen as the former Secret Service agent hired to protect her from a stalker.

Director Thea Sharrock, who directed Tom Hiddleston in Henry V on BBC TV, will oversee rehearsals next month for producers Michael Harrison and David Ian.
The show will be packed with numbers associated with Houston including I Will Always Love You. Performances start November 6 at the Adelphi Theatre.
...Tom Bennett, Florence Hall and Marc Pickering, who will lead Kieran Lynn's play Incident At The Border from the Finborough Theatre, where it's running until Tuesday, into the Trafalgar Studio 2 from August 20 through September 15.
Lynn's play looks at what happens when a country's border is re-drawn . . . right through the middle of a park bench where two lovers are sitting.
It's directed by Bruce Guthrie, one of Sam Mendes's legion of former associate directors making their mark on the stage.
...Paul Reid, Rory Keenan, Valerie Lilley and James Hayes, all superb in Lyndsey Turner's heartfelt production of Brian Friel's powerful play Philadelphia, Here I Come!, on now at the Donmar Warehouse Theatre.
I recall seeing Friel's wistful tale, set in an Ireland where fathers and sons can never say what's on their mind or in their heart, before I'd experienced fatherhood.
It spoke to me in a completely different way this week, now that I'm the father of a hip-hopping lad (all 6ft 8in of him) myself.
At the end of the Donmar run, Keenan will head to the National Theatre, where he'll appear in Damned By Despair, which begins previews at the Olivier from October 2.
The show will also feature the award-winning Bertie Carvel.
