A Cultural Resources Survey for the Proposed Indian Creek II (CIMS) Drainage Improvement Project San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas

Atkins was contracted by the City of San Antonio (COSA) to perform cultural resource investigations of the proposed Indian Creek II (CIMS) Drainage Improvement Project in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. Covering an area of 40.36 acres (16.33 hectares), the project would improve localized flooding within the 100-year floodplain by creating overflow channels, and in some locations, by deepening and widening the existing channel bottom. On October 28 and 29, 2014, an intensive pedestrian survey was conducted of four portions of the project area, totaling 17.79 acres (7.24 hectares). The pedestrian survey was supplemented by the excavation of 12 mechanical trenches were excavated on November 24 and 25, 2014; these were located both within and between the four survey areas. Two prehistoric open campsites were recorded (41BX2066 and 41BX 2067) during the survey. Based on the sparse nature of the deposits and the lack of diagnostic artifacts or features, neither site is recommended eligible for inclusion to the National Register of Historic Places or for designation as a State Antiquities Landmark. No artifacts were collected, and all project records will be curated at the Center for Archaeological Research at the University of Texas at San Antonio. With the exception of the two sites, no other cultural material was encountered

Behavioural and psychological characteristics in Pitt-Hopkins syndrome:a comparison with Angelman and Cornelia de Lange syndromes

Background: Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) is a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder associated with intellectual disability. Although the genetic mechanisms underlying the disorder have been identified, description of its behavioural phenotype is in its infancy. In this study, reported behavioural and psychological characteristics of individuals with PTHS were investigated in comparison with the reported behaviour of age-matched individuals with Angelman syndrome (AS) and Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS). Methods: Questionnaire data were collected from parents/caregivers of individuals with PTHS (n = 24), assessing behaviours associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), sociability, mood, repetitive behaviour, sensory processing, challenging behaviours and overactivity and impulsivity. For most measures, data were compared to data for people with AS (n = 24) and CdLS (n = 24) individually matched by adaptive ability, age and sex. Results: Individuals with PTHS evidenced significantly higher levels of difficulties with social communication and reciprocal social interaction than individuals with AS, with 21 of 22 participants with PTHS meeting criteria indicative of ASD on a screening instrument. Individuals with PTHS were reported to be less sociable with familiar and unfamiliar people than individuals with AS, but more sociable with unfamiliar people than individuals with CdLS. Data also suggested areas of atypicality in sensory experiences. Challenging behaviours were reported frequently in PTHS, with self-injury (70.8%) occurring at significantly higher rates than in AS (41.7%) and aggression (54.2%) occurring at significantly higher rates than in CdLS (25%). Individuals with PTHS also evidenced lower reported mood than individuals with AS. Conclusions: Behaviours which may be characteristic of PTHS include those associated with ASD, including deficits in social communication and reciprocal social interaction. High rates of aggression and self-injurious behaviour compared to other genetic syndrome groups are of potential clinical significance and warrant further investigation. An atypical sensory profile may also be evident in PTHS. The specific aetiology of and relationships between different behavioural and psychological atypicalities in PTHS, and effective clinical management of these, present potential topics for future research

Understanding dynamic changes in live cell adhesion with neutron reflectometry

Neutron reflectometry (NR) was used to examine various live cells' adhesion to quartz substrates under different environmental conditions, including flow stress. To the best of our knowledge, these measurements represent the first successful visualization and quantization of the interface between live cells and a substrate with sub-nanometer resolution. In our first experiments, we examined live mouse fibroblast cells as opposed to past experiments using supported lipids, proteins, or peptide layers with no associated cells. We continued the NR studies of cell adhesion by investigating endothelial monolayers and glioblastoma cells under dynamic flow conditions. We demonstrated that neutron reflectometry is a powerful tool to study the strength of cellular layer adhesion in living tissues, which is a key factor in understanding the physiology of cell interactions and conditions leading to abnormal or disease circumstances. Continuative measurements, such as investigating changes in tumor cell — surface contact of various glioblastomas, could impact advancements in tumor treatments. In principle, this can help us to identify changes that correlate with tumor invasiveness. Pursuit of these studies can have significant medical impact on the understanding of complex biological problems and their effective treatment, e.g. for the development of targeted anti-invasive therapies

Time Trend and Factors Associated with Late Enrollment in Early Intervention among Children with Permanent Hearing Loss in Louisiana 2008-2013

This study aimed to identify the time trend of and factors associated with late enrollment in early intervention (EI) services among children with permanent hearing loss (HL) born between 2008 and 2013 in Louisiana. 2008-2013 linked Louisiana Early Hearing Detection and Intervention, birth records, EarlySteps (IDEA, Part C), Parent-Pupil Education Program, and Medicaid data were analyzed. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the trend and associations of mother and child’s demographic and hearing loss characteristics with late EI enrollment. Results of data analyses did not show any trend of late enrollment in EI services from 2008 to 2013. Delayed diagnosis and mild or unilateral HL were strongly associated with late enrollment. Appropriate strategies to resolve problems relating to missed diagnosis during newborn hearing screening and to convince parents of children with HL to enroll soon after diagnosis of HL will contribute to success of early EI enrollment in the state
