Objective:
PD patients commonly exhibit executive dysfunction early in the disease course which may or may not predict further cognitive decline over time. Early emergence of visuospatial and memory impairments, in contrast, are more consistent predictors of an evolving dementia syndrome. Most prior studies using fMRI have focused on mechanisms of executive dysfunction and have demonstrated that PD patients exhibit hyperactivation that is dependent on the degree of cognitive impairment, suggestive of compensatory strategies. No study has evaluated whether PD patients with normal cognition (PD-NC) and PD patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (PD-MCI) exhibit compensatory activation patterns during visuospatial task performance.
Participants and Methods:10 PD-NC, 12 PD-MCI, and 14 age and sex-matched healthy controls (HC) participated in the study. PD participants were diagnosed with MCI based on the Movement Disorders Society Task Force, Level II assessment (comprehensive assessment). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was performed during a motion discrimination task that required participants to identify the direction of horizontal global coherent motion embedded within dynamic visual noise under Low and High coherence conditions. Behavioral accuracy and functional activation were evaluated using 3 * 2 analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs) (group [HC, PD-NC, PD-MCI] * Coherence [High vs. Low]) accounting for age, sex, and education. Analyses were performed in R (v4.1.2(Team, 2013)).
Results:PD-MCI (0.702± 0.269) patients exhibited significantly lower accuracy on the motion discrimination task than HC (0.853 ± 0.241; p = 0.033) and PD-NC (0.880 ± 0.208; p =0.039). A Group * Coherence interaction was identified in which several regions, including orbitofrontal, posterior parietal and occipital cortex, showed increased activation during High relative to Low coherence trials in the PD patient groups but not in the HC group. HC showed default mode deactivation and frontal-parietal activation during Low relative to High coherence trials that was not evident in the patient groups.
Conclusions:PD-MCI patients exhibited worse visuospatial performance on a motion discrimination task than PD-NC and HC participants and exhibited hyperactivation of the posterior parietal and occipital regions during motion discrimination, suggesting possible compensatory activation.

The main question that Firestone & Scholl (F&S) pose is whether “what and how we see is functionally independent from what and how we think, know, desire, act, and so forth” (sect. 2, para. 1). We synthesize a collection of concerns from an interdisciplinary set of coauthors regarding F&S's assumptions and appeals to intuition, resulting in their treatment of visual perception as context-free.

OBJECTIVE
To measure transmission frequencies and risk factors for household acquisition of community-associated and healthcare-associated (HA-) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
DESIGNProspective cohort study from October 4, 2008, through December 3, 2012.
SETTINGSeven acute care hospitals in or near Toronto, Canada.
PARTICIPANTSTotal of 99 MRSA-colonized or MRSA-infected case patients and 183 household contacts.
METHODSBaseline interviews were conducted, and surveillance cultures were collected monthly for 3 months from household members, pets, and 8 prespecified high-use environmental locations. Isolates underwent pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec typing.
RESULTSOverall, of 183 household contacts 89 (49%) were MRSA colonized, with 56 (31%) detected at baseline. MRSA transmission from index case to contacts negative at baseline occurred in 27 (40%) of 68 followed-up households. Strains were identical within households. The transmission risk for HA-MRSA was 39% compared with 40% (P=.95) for community-associated MRSA. HA-MRSA index cases were more likely to be older and not practice infection control measures (P=.002–.03). Household acquisition risk factors included requiring assistance and sharing bath towels (P=.001–.03). Environmental contamination was identified in 78 (79%) of 99 households and was more common in HA-MRSA households.
CONCLUSIONHousehold transmission of community-associated and HA-MRSA strains was common and the difference in transmission risk was not statistically significant.

Diet is well known to have beneficial health properties that extend beyond traditionally accepted nutritional effects. The approach involved in elucidating these beneficial physiological effects is becoming more important, as reflected by increasing research being undertaken. With growing consumer awareness of foods and food constituents and their relationship to health, the key questions for regulators, scientists and the food industry continue to relate to: (1) how consumers could be protected and have confidence that the health claims on foods are well supported by the evidence; (2) how research on physiological effects of food (constituents) and their health benefits could be stimulated and supported; (3) how research findings could be used in the development of innovative new food products. The objectives of this paper are to provide a set of recommendations on the substantiation of health claims for foods, to develop further guidance on the choice of validated markers (or marker patterns) and what effects are considered to be beneficial to the health of the general public (or specific target groups). Finally, the case for developing a standardised approach for assessing the totality of the available scientific data and weighing the evidence is proposed.

Provided that they are scientifically substantiated, nutrition and health (NH) claims linked to food products can help consumers make well-informed food choices. The new European legislation on NH claims made on foods entered into force on 19 January 2007. The law sets out conditions for their use, establishes a system for their scientific evaluation, and will create European lists of authorised claims. An important aspect of this proposed legislation is that it states, in article 5.2, ‘the use of nutrition and health claims shall only be permitted if the average consumer can be expected to understand the beneficial effects expressed in the claim’. The present review examines consumer understanding of NH claims from a consumer science perspective. It focuses on the type of data and information that could be needed to provide evidence that the average consumer adequately understands a particular NH claim. After exploring several different methodologies, it proposes a case-specific approach using a stepwise procedure for assessing consumer understanding of a NH claim.

Cat retinal ganglion cells of the Y (or alpha) type respond to luminance changes opposite those preferred by their receptive-field centers with a transient hyperpolarization. Here, we examine the spatial organization and synaptic basis of this light response by means of whole-cell current-clamp recordings made in vitro. The hyperpolarization was largest when stimulus spots approximated the size of the receptive-field center, and diminished substantially for larger spots. The hyperpolarization was largely abolished by bath application of strychnine, a blocker of glycinergic inhibition. Picrotoxin, an antagonist of ionotropic GABA receptors, greatly reduced the attenuation of the hyperpolarizing response for large spots. The data are consistent with a model in which (1) the hyperpolarization reflects inhibition by glycinergic amacrine cells of bipolar terminals presynaptic to the alpha cells, and perhaps direct inhibition of the alpha cell as well; and (2) the attenuation of the hyperpolarization by large spots reflects surround inhibition of the glycinergic amacrine by GABAergic amacrine cells. This circuitry may moderate nonlinearities in the alpha-cell light response and could account for some excitatory and inhibitory influences on alpha cells known to arise from outside the classical receptive field.

When planning a mutation to test some hypothesis, one crucial question is whether the new side chain is compatible with the existing structure; only if it is compatible can the interpretation of mutational results be straightforward. This paper presents a simple way of using the sensitive geometry of all-atom contacts (including hydrogens) to answer that question. The interactive MAGE/PROBE system lets the biologist explore conformational space for the mutant side chain, with an interactively updated kinemage display of its all-atom contacts to the original structure. The Autobondrot function in PROBE systematically explores that same conformational space, outputting contact scores at each point, which are then contoured and displayed. These procedures are applied here in two types of test cases, with known mutant structures. In ricin A chain, the ability of a neighboring glutamate to rescue activity of an active-site mutant is modeled successfully. In T4 lysozyme, six mutations to Leu are analyzed within the wild-type background structure, and their Autobondrot score maps correctly predict whether or not their surroundings must shift significantly in the actual mutant structures; interactive examination of contacts for the conformations involved explains which clashes are relieved by the motions. These programs are easy to use, are available free for UNIX or Microsoft Windows operating systems, and should be of significant help in choosing good mutation experiments or in understanding puzzling results.

We have determined the strain and particle size for several samples of palladium powder by time-of-flight nrutron powder diffraction on two different diffractometers and by x-ray powder diffraction. The results are compared and found to be in fair agreement. The time-of-flight method gives good enough precision to reveal deficiencies in the simple models used for strain and particle size line broadening.
