Верификация ганглиоглиомы ассоциированной с нейрональной гетеротопией у взрослого пациента без эпилепсии с применением мультимодального подхода к визуализации
Gangliogliomas are known to be rare and mainly slow-growing benign primary central nervous system tumors, most frequently occurring in children and young adults. They are the most common epilepsy-associated tumors, which frequent location is the temporal lobe. Surgery often seems to be the best approach in controlling seizures in such patients. This paper deals with a rare case of ganglioglioma in a young adult patient with a temporal lobe tumor associated with neuronal heterotopy of white matter, but without epilepsy. Long-term dynamic observation including in-depth clinical, electroencephalographic, radiologic, and postsurgical histologic examination confirmed the documented neoplastic process without any manifestation of seizures over ten years. Surgical intervention was based on the results of a multimodal radiological examination, which demonstrated the presence of neoplasm in the structure of the pathological substrate of unclear etiology. Известно, что ганглиоглиомы являются редкими, и в основном, медленно растущими доброкачественными первичными опухолями центральной нервной системы, чаще всего встречающимися у детей и молодых людей. Это наиболее распространенные опухоли, ассоциированные с эпилепсией, часто локализующиеся в височной доле. Хирургия часто кажется лучшим подходом к контролю приступов у таких пациентов. В данной статье рассматривается редкий случай ганглиоглиомы локализованной в височной доле, ассоциированной с нейрональной гетеротопией белого вещества у молодого пациента, но без эпилепсии. Длительное динамическое наблюдение, включающее углубленное клиническое, электроэнцефалографическое, радиологическое и послеоперационное гистологическое исследование, документально подтвердили наличие неопластического процесса без приступов в течение десяти лет. Хирургическое вмешательство основывалось на результатах комплексного радиологического исследования, продемонстрировавшего наличие неоплазмы в структуре патологического субстрата неясной этиологии.
Indiscriminate Males: Mating Behaviour of a Marine Snail Compromised by a Sexual Conflict?
Background: In promiscuous species, male fitness is expected to increase with repeated matings in an open-ended fashion (thereby increasing number of partners or probability of paternity) whereas female fitness should level out at some optimal number of copulations when direct and indirect benefits still outweigh the costs of courtship and copulation. After this fitness peak, additional copulations would incur female fitness costs and be under opposing selection. Hence, a sexual conflict over mating frequency may evolve in species where females are forced to engage in costly matings. Under such circumstance, if females could avoid male detection, significant fitness benefits from such avoidance strategies would be predicted. Methodology/Principal Findings: Among four Littorina species, one lives at very much higher densities and has a longer mating season than the other three species. Using video records of snail behaviour in a laboratory arena we show that males of the low-density species discriminate among male and female mucous trails, trailing females for copulations. In the high-density species, however, males fail to discriminate between male and female trails, not because males are unable to identify female trails (which we show using heterospecific females), but because females do not, as the other species, add a gender-specific cue to their trail. Conclusions/Significance: We conclude that there is likely a sexual conflict over mating frequency in the high-densit
Regional adaptation defines sensitivity to future ocean acidification
Physiological responses to temperature are known to be a major determinant of species distributions and can dictate the sensitivity of populations to global warming. In contrast, little is known about how other major global change drivers, such as ocean acidification (OA), will
shape species distributions in the future. Here, by integrating population genetics with experimental data for growth and mineralization, physiology and metabolomics, we
demonstrate that the sensitivity of populations of the gastropod Littorina littorea to future OA is shaped by regional adaptation. Individuals from populations towards the edges of the natural latitudinal range in the Northeast Atlantic exhibit greater shell dissolution and the inability to upregulate their metabolism when exposed to low pH, thus appearing most sensitive to low seawater pH. Our results suggest that future levels of OA could mediate
temperature-driven shifts in species distributions, thereby influencing future biogeography and the functioning of marine ecosystems
meson production in inelastic p+p interactions at 40 and 80 beam momenta measured by NA61/SHINE at the CERN SPS
Measurements of K∗(892)0 resonance production via its K+π− decay mode in inelastic p+p collisions at beam momenta 40 and 80 GeV /c (sNN−−−−√=8.8 and 12.3 GeV ) are presented. The data were recorded by the NA61/SHINE hadron spectrometer at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. The template method was used to extract the K∗(892)0 signal. Transverse momentum and rapidity spectra were obtained. The mean multiplicities of K∗(892)0 mesons were found to be (35.1±1.3(stat)±3.6(sys))⋅10−3 at 40 GeV /c and (58.3±1.9(stat)±4.9(sys))⋅10−3 at 80 GeV /c. The NA61/SHINE results are compared with the Epos1.99 and Hadron Resonance Gas models as well as with world data. The transverse mass spectra of K∗(892)0 mesons and other particles previously reported by NA61/SHINE were fitted within the Blast-Wave model. The transverse flow velocities are close to 0.1–0.2 of the speed of light and are significantly smaller than the ones determined in heavy nucleus-nucleus interactions at the same beam momenta
Measurements of K, Λ , and production in 120 GeV / c p + C interactions
This paper presents multiplicity measurements of K0S, Λ, and ¯Λ produced in 120 GeV/c proton-carbon interactions. The measurements were made using data collected at the NA61/SHINE experiment during two different periods. Decays of these neutral hadrons impact the measured π+, π−, p and ¯p multiplicities in the 120 GeV/c proton-carbon reaction, which are crucial inputs for long-baseline neutrino experiment predictions of neutrino beam flux. The double-differential multiplicities presented here will be used to more precisely measure charged-hadron multiplicities in this reaction, and to reweight neutral hadron production in neutrino beam Monte Carlo simulations

Measurement of Hadron Production in -C Interactions at 158 and 350 GeV/c with NA61/SHINE at the CERN SPS
We present a measurement of the momentum spectra of , K,
p, , and K produced in interactions of
negatively charged pions with carbon nuclei at beam momenta of 158 and 350
GeV/c. The total production cross sections are measured as well. The data were
collected with the large-acceptance spectrometer of the fixed target experiment
NA61/SHINE at the CERN SPS. The obtained double-differential - spectra
provide a unique reference data set with unprecedented precision and large
phase-space coverage to tune models used for the simulation of particle
production in extensive air showers in which pions are the most numerous
projectiles
K meson production in inelastic p+p interactions at 158 GeV/c beam momentum measured by NA61/SHINE at the CERN SPS
The production of K mesons in inelastic p+p collisions at beam momentum 158 GeV / (=17.3 GeV ) was measured with the NA61/SHINE spectrometer at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. Double-differential distributions were obtained in transverse momentum and rapidity. The mean multiplicity of K was determined to be 0.162±0.001(.)±0.011(.). The results on K production are compared with model predictions (EPOS 1.99, SMASH 2.0, PHSD and UrQMD 3.4 models) as well as with published world data
Measurements of , , and spectra in Ar+Sc collisions at 13 to 150 GeV/
The NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron studies the
onset of deconfinement in strongly interacting matter through a beam energy
scan of particle production in collisions of nuclei of varied sizes. This paper
presents results on inclusive double-differential spectra, transverse momentum
and rapidity distributions and mean multiplicities of , ,
and produced in Ar+Sc collisions at beam momenta of
13, 19, 30, 40, 75 and 150 GeV/. The analysis uses the 10%
most central collisions, where the observed forward energy defines centrality.
The energy dependence of the / ratios as well as of inverse
slope parameters of the transverse mass distributions are placed in
between those found in inelastic + and central Pb+Pb collisions. The
results obtained here establish a system-size dependence of hadron production
properties that so far cannot be explained either within statistical (SMES,
HRG) or dynamical (EPOS, UrQMD, PHSD, SMASH) models
