Comparison of the visually evoked response in drug-free chronic schizophrenic patients and normal controls

Thirteen cooperative male drug-free chronic schizophrenic patients, and 11 mentally normal male controls were studied. The VER was recorded from scalp leads O1, O2, Oz, C3 and C4 to combined ear reference (A1---A2). The stimulus was an unpatterned flash of single intensity. Compared to normal controls, there were no consistent differences in wave peak latencies or amplitudes for chronic schizophrenics in any brain area tested. When the chronic schizophrenic patients were separated on the basis of high and low tryptophan uptake, using the Frohman-Gottlieb criteria, the high uptake group exhibited normal VERs while in the occipital regions the low tryptophan uptake group exhibited prolonged latencies and an increased amplitude for wave V when compared to normals. From BPRS scores the high tryptophan subgroup indicated a greater degree of psychopathology than the low tryptophan subgroup. The results obtained do not support an indole hallucinogen hypothesis for process schizophrenia.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/23636/1/0000600.pd

33356 A multinational chart review to examine gastrointestinal symptoms and their management in patients treated with apremilast for plaque psoriasis

Background: Diarrhea and nausea are the most common adverse events observed in phase 3 clinical trials and real-world studies of apremilast, an oral phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor indicated for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted between June and November 2020 in the United States (US) and France among patients with moderate psoriasis experiencing gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms within 3 months of initiating apremilast. Results: Dermatologists in US (200) and in France (52) abstracted patient charts (US: 494, France: 128). The following GI symptoms were reported: ‒diarrhea (US: 67% [331/494]; France: 76% [97/128]) with median time from onset to resolution/improvement of 26 days (US) and 21 days (France) ‒nausea (US: 52% [255/494]; France: 34% [44/128]) with median time from onset to resolution/improvement of 21 days (US) and 24 days (France). Management strategies for diarrhea included pharmacologic (loperamide/bismuth subsalicylate/racecadotril) with or without nonpharmacologic (dietary modifications, taking with food)/fiber (US: 30% [99/331], France: 41% [40/97]) and nonpharmacologic only (US: 32% [105/331], France: 27% [26/97]). Management strategies for nausea included pharmacologic (diphenhydramine/metoclopramide/metopimazine) with or without nonpharmacologic (dietary modifications, taking with food, avoidance of vigorous activity) (US: 5% [14/255], France: 30% [13/44]) and nonpharmacologic only (US: 58% [147/255], France: 36% [16/44]). Resolution/improvement of GI symptoms was observed in patients who used pharmacologic strategies and nonpharmacologic strategies. Conclusions: Recommendations to manage diarrhea and nausea after apremilast initiation with pharmacologic or non-pharmacologic strategies were effective and symptoms usually resolved within 3-4 weeks of onset

Geminivirus-Mediated Delivery of Florigen Promotes Determinate Growth in Aerial Organs and Uncouples Flowering from Photoperiod in Cotton

This article discusses geminivirus-mediated delivery of florigen. Florigen acts as a general growth hormone, advancing determinate growth. The findings extend our understanding of florigen as a general growth hormone and could benefit crop management techniques

The 16th Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release from the APOGEE-2 Southern Survey and Full Release of eBOSS Spectra

This paper documents the 16th data release (DR16) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS), the fourth and penultimate from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). This is the first release of data from the Southern Hemisphere survey of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2); new data from APOGEE-2 North are also included. DR16 is also notable as the final data release for the main cosmological program of the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS), and all raw and reduced spectra from that project are released here. DR16 also includes all the data from the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey and new data from the SPectroscopic IDentification of ERosita Survey programs, both of which were co-observed on eBOSS plates. DR16 has no new data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey (or the MaNGA Stellar Library "MaStar"). We also preview future SDSS-V operations (due to start in 2020), and summarize plans for the final SDSS-IV data release (DR17)

Large expert-curated database for benchmarking document similarity detection in biomedical literature search

Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that cover a variety of research fields such that newly developed literature search techniques can be compared, improved and translated into practice. To overcome this bottleneck, we have established the RElevant LIterature SearcH consortium consisting of more than 1500 scientists from 84 countries, who have collectively annotated the relevance of over 180 000 PubMed-listed articles with regard to their respective seed (input) article/s. The majority of annotations were contributed by highly experienced, original authors of the seed articles. The collected data cover 76% of all unique PubMed Medical Subject Headings descriptors. No systematic biases were observed across different experience levels, research fields or time spent on annotations. More importantly, annotations of the same document pairs contributed by different scientists were highly concordant. We further show that the three representative baseline methods used to generate recommended articles for evaluation (Okapi Best Matching 25, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency and PubMed Related Articles) had similar overall performances. Additionally, we found that these methods each tend to produce distinct collections of recommended articles, suggesting that a hybrid method may be required to completely capture all relevant articles. The established database server located at https://relishdb.ict.griffith.edu.au is freely available for the downloading of annotation data and the blind testing of new methods. We expect that this benchmark will be useful for stimulating the development of new powerful techniques for title and title/abstract-based search engines for relevant articles in biomedical research.Peer reviewe
