High-Tc superconductors toward small scale applications
This chapter discusses the applications of high-Tc superconductors (HTS), where Tc is the critical transition temperature between the superconductive and nonsuperconductive states. Various techniques for vortex visualization have also been proposed in the chapter. HTSs are layered materials and therefore anisotropic. This anisotropy depends on the fact that HTS materials are quasi-2D: CuO planes, with quasi-metallic conduction, separated by quasi-insulating blocking layers give the basic contribution to the superconductivity. The layered conductor is close to the metal-insulator transition so that any slight change in growing conditions as well as any extrinsic nanometric perturbation yields insulating zones in the CuO planes. The crystallographic structures are held together by electrons that form ionic or covalent bonds among the atoms. This property is usually considered a bad property, not only for the unwanted effects of these insulating plaques but also for the anisotropy aspect
Normal and mutant HTT interact to affect clinical severity and progression in Huntington disease.
Clinical manifestations of intermediate allele carriers in Huntington disease
Objective: There is controversy about the clinical consequences of intermediate alleles (IAs) in Huntington disease (HD). The main objective of this study was to establish the clinical manifestations of IA carriers for a prospective, international, European HD registry. Methods: We assessed a cohort of participants at risk with <36 CAG repeats of the huntingtin (HTT) gene. Outcome measures were the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) motor, cognitive, and behavior domains, Total Functional Capacity (TFC), and quality of life (Short Form-36 [SF-36]). This cohort was subdivided into IA carriers (27-35 CAG) and controls (<27 CAG) and younger vs older participants. IA carriers and controls were compared for sociodemographic, environmental, and outcome measures. We used regression analysis to estimate the association of age and CAG repeats on the UHDRS scores. Results: Of 12,190 participants, 657 (5.38%) with <36 CAG repeats were identified: 76 IA carriers (11.56%) and 581 controls (88.44%). After correcting for multiple comparisons, at baseline, we found no significant differences between IA carriers and controls for total UHDRS motor, SF-36, behavioral, cognitive, or TFC scores. However, older participants with IAs had higher chorea scores compared to controls (p 0.001). Linear regression analysis showed that aging was the most contributing factor to increased UHDRS motor scores (p 0.002). On the other hand, 1-year follow-up data analysis showed IA carriers had greater cognitive decline compared to controls (p 0.002). Conclusions: Although aging worsened the UHDRS scores independently of the genetic status, IAs might confer a late-onset abnormal motor and cognitive phenotype. These results might have important implications for genetic counseling. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01590589

Normal and mutant HTT interact to affect clinical severity and progression in Huntington disease.
Identification of genetic variants associated with Huntington's disease progression: a genome-wide association study
Huntington's disease is caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene, HTT. Age at onset has been used as a quantitative phenotype in genetic analysis looking for Huntington's disease modifiers, but is hard to define and not always available. Therefore, we aimed to generate a novel measure of disease progression and to identify genetic markers associated with this progression measure
