1. Pion and kaon electromagnetic and gravitational form factors

Author: Y.-Z. Xu, M. Ding, K. Raya, C. D. Roberts, J. Rodríguez-Quintero, and S. M. Schmidt
Subjects: Astrophysics, QB460-466, Nuclear and particle physics. Atomic energy. Radioactivity, QC770-798
Abstract: Abstract A unified set of predictions for pion and kaon elastic electromagnetic and gravitational form factors is obtained using a symmetry-preserving truncation of each relevant quantum field equation. A key part of the study is a description of salient aspects of the dressed graviton + quark vertices. The calculations reveal that each meson’s mass radius is smaller than its charge radius, matching available empirical inferences; and meson core pressures are commensurate with those in neutron stars. The analysis described herein paves the way for a direct calculation of nucleon gravitational form factors.

2. Kaon and pion parton distributions

Author: Z.-F. Cui, M. Ding, F. Gao, K. Raya, D. Binosi, L. Chang, C. D. Roberts, J. Rodríguez-Quintero, and S. M. Schmidt
Subjects: Astrophysics, QB460-466, Nuclear and particle physics. Atomic energy. Radioactivity, QC770-798
Abstract: Abstract Beginning with results for the leading-twist two-particle distribution amplitudes of $$\pi $$ π - and K-mesons, each of which exhibits dilation driven by the mechanism responsible for the emergence of hadronic mass, we develop parameter-free predictions for the pointwise behaviour of all $$\pi $$ π and K distribution functions (DFs), including glue and sea. The large-x behaviour of each DF meets expectations based on quantum chromodynamics; the valence-quark distributions match extractions from available data, including the pion case when threshold resummation effects are included; and at $$\zeta _5=5.2\,$$ ζ 5 = 5.2 GeV, the scale of existing measurements, the light-front momentum of these hadrons is shared as follows: $$\langle x_{\mathrm{valence}} \rangle ^\pi = 0.41(4)$$ ⟨ x valence ⟩ π = 0.41 ( 4 ) , $$\langle x_{\mathrm{glue}} \rangle ^\pi = 0.45(2)$$ ⟨ x glue ⟩ π = 0.45 ( 2 ) , $$\langle x_{\mathrm{sea}} \rangle ^\pi = 0.14(2)$$ ⟨ x sea ⟩ π = 0.14 ( 2 ) ; and $$\langle x_{\mathrm{valence}} \rangle ^K = 0.42(3)$$ ⟨ x valence ⟩ K = 0.42 ( 3 ) , $$\langle x_{\mathrm{glue}} \rangle ^K = 0.44(2)$$ ⟨ x glue ⟩ K = 0.44 ( 2 ) , $$\langle x_{\mathrm{sea}} \rangle ^K = 0.14(2)$$ ⟨ x sea ⟩ K = 0.14 ( 2 ) . The kaon’s glue and sea distributions are similar to those in the pion, although the inclusion of mass-dependent splitting functions introduces some differences on the valence-quark domain. This study should stimulate improved analyses of existing data and motivate new experiments sensitive to all $$\pi $$ π and K DFs. With little known empirically about the structure of the Standard Model’s (pseudo-) Nambu-Goldstone modes and analyses of existing, limited data being controversial, it is likely that new generation experiments at upgraded and anticipated facilities will provide the information needed to resolve the puzzles and complete the picture of these complex bound states.

3. Attitudes related to technology for active and healthy aging in a national multigenerational survey

Author: J. Offerman, S. Fristedt, S. M. Schmidt, C. Lofqvist, and S. Iwarsson
Subjects: Aging, Neuroscience (miscellaneous), Geriatrics and Gerontology
Abstract: Research is needed to understand attitudes toward and adoption of the broad range of technologies available to support active and healthy aging in different generations. The present article gives an overview of the GenerationTech survey and sample, and describes attitudes and acceptance related to technology in general and as a means to support active and healthy aging. A national survey was conducted with a random sample (n = 2,121) including men and women from three generations (30–39, 50–59 and 70–79-year-olds) in Sweden. The generations shared some attitudes toward and acceptance of technologies for active and healthy aging. However, what kind of technologies are preferred to support active and healthy aging and the reasons for using certain technologies differed by generation. The findings could help guide the development and implementation of technologies for active and healthy aging throughout the aging process.

Abstract: Purpose Precise segmentation of brain lesions is essential for neurological research. Specifically, resection volume estimates can aid in the assessment of residual postoperative tissue, e.g. following surgery for glioma. Furthermore, behavioral lesion-symptom mapping in epilepsy relies on accurate delineation of surgical lesions. We sought to determine whether semi- and fully automatic segmentation methods can be applied to resected brain areas and which approach provides the most accurate and cost-efficient results. Methods We compared a semi-automatic (ITK-SNAP) with a fully automatic (lesion_GNB) method for segmentation of resected brain areas in terms of accuracy with manual segmentation serving as reference. Additionally, we evaluated processing times of all three methods. We used T1w, MRI-data of epilepsy patients (n = 27; 11 m; mean age 39 years, range 16–69) who underwent temporal lobe resections (17 left). Results The semi-automatic approach yielded superior accuracy (p p > 0.05). Manual segmentation required more human input (30.41 min/subject) and therefore inferring significantly higher costs than semi- (3.27 min/subject) or fully automatic approaches (labor and cost approaching zero). Conclusion Semi-automatic segmentation offers the most accurate results in resected brain areas with a moderate amount of human input, thus representing a viable alternative compared with manual segmentation, especially for studies with large patient cohorts.

Nevertheless, more than forty years after the first experiment to collect data suitable for extracting the x similar or equal to 1 behaviour of up, the empirical status remains uncertain because some methods used to fit existing data return a result for up that violates this constraint. Such disagreement entails one of the following conclusions: the analysis concerned is incomplete; not all data being considered are a true expression of qualities intrinsic to the pion; or QCD, as it is currently understood, is not the theory of strong interactions. New, precise data are necessary before a final conclusion is possible. In developing these positions, we exploit a single proposition, viz. there is an effective charge which defines an evolution scheme for parton DFs that is all-orders exact. This proposition has numerous corollaries, which can be used to test the character of any DF, whether fitted or calculated., National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 12135007 11805097, Spanish Government European Commission PID2020-113334GB PID2019-107844GBC22, Generalitat Valenciana European Commission, General Electric Prometeo/2019/087, Junta de Andalucia P18-FR-5057 UHU-1264517 UHU EPIT2021, STRONG-2020 "The strong interaction at the frontier of knowledge: fundamental research and applications" - European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme 824093, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf High Potential Programme

Abstract: Supposing only that there is an effective charge which defines an evolution scheme for parton distribution functions (DFs) that is all-orders exact, strict lower and upper bounds on all Mellin moments of the valence-quark DFs of pionlike systems are derived. Exploiting contemporary results from numerical simulations of lattice-regularized quantum chromodynamics (QCD) that are consistent with these bounds, parameter-free predictions for pion valence, glue, and sea DFs are obtained. The form of the valence-quark DF at large values of the light-front momentum fraction is consistent with predictions derived using the QCD-prescribed behavior of the pion wave function., National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 12135007 11805097, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf High Potential Programme, Spanish Government, European Commission PID2019-107844GB-C22, Junta de Andalucia P18-FR-5057 UHU-1264517 UHU EPIT-2021, STRONG-2020 "The strong interaction at the frontier of knowledge: fundamental research and applications" from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme 824093

Abstract: Objective This study investigates the clinical course of recovery of apraxia after left-hemisphere stroke and the underlying neuroanatomical correlates for persisting or recovering deficits in relation to the major processing streams in the network for motor cognition. Methods 90 patients were examined during the acute (4.74 ± 2.73 days) and chronic (14.3 ± 15.39 months) stage after left-hemisphere stroke for deficits in meaningless imitation, as well as production and conceptual errors in tool use pantomime. Lesion correlates for persisting or recovering deficits were analyzed with an extension of the non-parametric Brunner-Munzel rank-order test for multi-factorial designs (two-way repeated-measures ANOVA) using acute images. Results Meaningless imitation and tool use production deficits persisted into the chronic stage. Conceptual errors in tool use pantomime showed an almost complete recovery. Imitation errors persisted after occipitotemporal and superior temporal lesions in the dorso-dorsal stream. Chronic pantomime production errors were related to the supramarginal gyrus, the key structure of the ventro-dorsal stream. More anterior lesions in the ventro-dorsal stream (ventral premotor cortex) were additionally associated with poor recovery of production errors in pantomime. Conceptual errors in pantomime after temporal and supramarginal gyrus lesions persisted into the chronic stage. However, they resolved completely when related to angular gyrus or insular lesions. Conclusion The diverging courses of recovery in different apraxia tasks can be related to different mechanisms. Critical lesions to key structures of the network or entrance areas of the processing streams lead to persisting deficits in the corresponding tasks. Contrary, lesions located outside the core network but inducing a temporary network dysfunction allow good recovery e.g., of conceptual errors in pantomime. The identification of lesion correlates for different long-term recovery patterns in apraxia might also allow early clinical prediction of the course of recovery.

Abstract: The concepts of brain reserve and cognitive reserve were recently suggested as valuable predictors of stroke outcome. To test this hypothesis, we used age, years of education and lesion size as clinically feasible coarse proxies of brain reserve, cognitive reserve, and the extent of stroke pathology correspondingly. Linear and logistic regression models were used to predict cognitive outcome (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) and stroke-induced impairment and disability (NIH Stroke Scale; modified Rankin Score) in a sample of 104 chronic stroke patients carefully controlled for potential confounds. Results revealed 46% of explained variance for cognitive outcome (p

Abstract: Verbal fluency for semantic categories and phonological letters is frequently applied to studies of language and executive functions. Despite its popularity, it is still debated whether measures of semantic and phonological fluency reflect the same or distinct sets of cognitive processes. Word generation in the two task variants is believed to involve different types of search processes. Findings from the lesion and neuroimaging literature further suggest a stronger reliance of phonological and semantic fluency on frontal and temporal brain areas, respectively. This evidence for differential cognitive and neural contributions is, however, strongly challenged by findings from factor analyses, which have consistently yielded only one explanatory factor. As all previous factor-analytical approaches were based on very small item sets, this apparent discrepancy may be due to methodological limitations. In this study, we therefore applied a German version of the verbal fluency task with 8 semantic (i.e. categories) and 8 phonological items (i.e. letters). An exploratory factor analysis with oblique rotation in N=69 healthy young adults indeed revealed a two-factor solution with markedly different loadings for semantic and phonological items. This pattern was corroborated by a confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of N=174 stroke patients. As results from both samples also revealed a substantial portion of common variance between the semantic and phonological factor, the present data further demonstrate that semantic and phonological verbal fluency are based on clearly distinct but also on shared sets of cognitive processes.

Abstract: Although post-stroke cognitive deficit can significantly limit patient independence and social re-integration, clinical routine predictors for this condition are lacking. ‘Cognitive reserve’ limits the detrimental effects of slowly developing neurodegeneration. We aimed to determine whether comparable effects also exist in acute stroke. Using 'years of education' as a proxy, we investigated whether cognitive reserve beneficially influences cognitive performance and disability after stroke, whilst controlling for age and lesion size as measure of stroke pathology. Within the first week of ischemic right hemisphere stroke, 36 patients were assessed for alertness, working memory, executive functions, spatial neglect, global cognition and motor deficit at 4.9 ± 2.1 days post-stroke, in addition to routine clinical tests (NIH Stroke Scale, modified Rankin Scale on admission

Abstract: OBJECTIVE Planning as a prototypical executive function is frequently compromised in clinical samples. Analyses of rule breaking during performance on tower tasks are highly informative for clinical inferences on planning deficits, but are as yet only available for manual task versions. Therefore, the present study investigated whether valid rule-break information can also be gained using a computerized Tower of London (TOL) version. METHOD For patients with stroke (N = 60), Parkinson's disease (PD; N = 51), and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI; N = 29), rule breaks (e.g., selecting a blocked ball) and online-planning errors (re-considering the next move) on the TOL-Freiburg (TOL-F) were compared to that of matched healthy controls, and diagnostic accuracy for these measures was assessed. RESULTS Stroke and PD patients committed significantly more rule breaks and online-planning errors than matched controls, with this group difference being significantly greater for rule breaks. For MCI patients, only a trend for elevated numbers of rule breaks emerged. In all patients, rule breaks and errors increased as a function of problem complexity. Diagnostic accuracy was the highest for PD and lowest for MCI patients, with both rule breaks and errors demonstrating moderate sensitivity but higher specificity across all samples. DISCUSSION Direct attempts to break the TOL-F's task rules are particularly informative of clinical impairments in planning ability. Similar to findings from studies employing manual versions, using a computerized tower task revealed consistent rule break and error patterns across patients. Thus, computerized tower tasks can yield useful clinical information on rule-breaking behavior during planning in clinical populations.

Abstract: Previous lesion studies suggest that semantic and phonological fluency are differentially subserved by distinct brain regions in the left temporal and the left frontal cortex, respectively. However, as of yet, this often implied double dissociation has not been explicitly investigated due to mainly two reasons: (i) the lack of sufficiently large samples of brain-lesioned patients that underwent assessment of the two fluency variants and (ii) the lack of tools to assess interactions in factorial analyses of non-normally distributed behavioral data. In addition, previous studies did not control for task resource artifacts potentially introduced by the generally higher task difficulty of phonological compared to semantic fluency.We addressed these issues by task-difficulty adjusted assessment of semantic and phonological fluency in 85 chronic patients with ischemic stroke of the left middle cerebral artery. For classical region-based lesion-behavior mapping patients were grouped with respect to their primary lesion location. Building on the extension of the non-parametric Brunner-Munzel rank-order test to multi-factorial designs, ANOVA-type analyses revealed a significant two-way interaction for cue type (semantic vs. phonological) by lesion location (left temporal vs. left frontal vs. other as stroke control group). Subsequent contrast analyses further confirmed the proposed double dissociation by demonstrating that (i) compared to stroke controls, left temporal lesions led to significant impairments in semantic but not in phonological fluency, whereas left frontal lesions led to significant impairments in phonological but not in semantic fluency, and that (ii) patients with frontal lesions showed significantly poorer performance in phonological than in semantic fluency, whereas patients with temporal lesions showed significantly poorer performance in semantic than in phonological fluency.The anatomical specificity of these findings was further assessed in voxel-based lesion-behavior mapping analyses using the multi-factorial extension of the Brunner-Munzel test. Voxel-wise ANOVA-type analyses identified circumscribed parts of left inferior frontal gyrus and left superior and middle temporal gyrus that significantly double-dissociated with respect to their differential contribution to phonological and semantic fluency, respectively. Furthermore, a main effect of lesion with significant impairments in both fluency types was found in left inferior frontal regions adjacent to but not overlapping with those showing the differential effect for phonological fluency.The present study hence not only provides first explicit evidence for the anatomical double dissociation in verbal fluency at the group level but also clearly underlines that its formulation constitutes an oversimplification as parts of left frontal cortex appear to contribute to both semantic and phonological fluency.

Abstract: Behavioral deficits after stroke like apraxia can be related to structural lesions and to a functional state of the underlying network – three factors, reciprocally influencing each other. Combining lesion data, behavioral performance and passive functional activation of the network-of-interest, this study aims to disentangle those mutual influences and to identify 1) activation patterns associated with the presence or absence of acute apraxia in tool-associated actions and 2) the specific impact of lesion location on those activation patterns. Brain activity of 48 patients (63.31 ± 13.68 years, 35 male) was assessed in a fMRI paradigm with observation of tool-related actions during the acute phase after first-ever left-hemispheric stroke (4.83 ± 2.04 days). Behavioral assessment of apraxia in tool-related tasks was obtained independently. Brain activation was compared between patients versus healthy controls and between patient with versus without apraxia. Interaction effects of lesion location (frontal vs parietal) and behavioral performance (apraxia vs no apraxia) were assessed in a 2 × 2 factorial design. Action observation activated the ventro-dorsal parts of the network for cognitive motor function; activation was globally downregulated after stroke. Apraxic compared to non-apraxic patients showed relatively increased activity in bilateral posterior middle temporal gyrus and middle frontal gyrus/superior frontal sulcus. Altered activation occurred in regions for tool-related cognition, corroborating known functions of the ventro-dorsal and ventral streams for praxis, and comprised domain-general areas, functionally related to cognitive control. The interaction analyses revealed different levels of activation in the left anterior middle temporal gyrus in the ventral stream in apraxic patients with frontal compared to parietal lesions, suggesting a modulation of network activation in relation to behavioral performance and lesion location as separate factors. By detecting apraxia-specific activation patterns modulated by lesion location, this study underlines the necessity to combine structural lesion information, behavioral parameters and functional activation to comprehensively examine cognitive functions in acute stroke patients.

Abstract: Objective Executive deficits are frequent sequelae of neurological and psychiatric disorders, but their adequate neuropsychological assessment is still a matter of contention, given that executive tasks draw on a multitude of cognitive processes that are often not sufficiently specified. In line with this, results on psychometric properties of the Tower of London, a task measuring planning ability as a prototypical executive function, are equivocal and furthermore lacking completely for adult clinical populations. Methods We used a structurally balanced item set implemented in the Tower of London (Freiburg version, TOL-F) that accounts for major determinants of problem difficulty beyond the commonly used minimum number of moves to solution. Split-half reliability, internal consistency, and criterion-related concurrent validity of TOL-F accuracy were assessed in patients with stroke ( N =60), Parkinson syndrome ( N =51), and mild cognitive impairment ( N =29), and healthy adults ( N =155). Results Across samples, mean split-half and lower-bound indices of reliability of accuracy scores were adequate ( r ≥.7) or higher. Compared to a subset of healthy controls matched for age, sex, and education levels, deficits in planning accuracy emerged for all three clinical samples. Conclusions Based on consistently adequate reliability and a good criterion-related validity of accuracy scores, the TOL-F demonstrates its utility for testing planning ability in clinical samples and healthy adults. Using item sets systematically accounting for several determinants of task difficulty can thus significantly enhance the contended reliability of executive tasks and provide an opportunity to resolve the underspecification of cognitive processes contributing to executive functioning in health and disease.

Abstract: A precision measurement by AMS of the positron fraction in primary cosmic rays in the energy range from 0.5 to 500 GeV based on 10.9 million positron and electron events is presented. This measurement extends the energy range of our previous observation and increases its precision. The new results show, for the first time, that above ∼200 GeV the positron fraction no longer exhibits an increase with energy.

Abstract: Imitation of tool-use gestures (transitive; e.g., hammering) and communicative emblems (intransitive; e.g., waving goodbye) is frequently impaired after left-hemispheric lesions. We aimed 1) to identify lesions related to deficient transitive or intransitive gestures, 2) to delineate regions associated with distinct error types (e.g., hand configuration, kinematics), and 3) to compare imitation to previous data on pantomimed and actual tool use. Of note, 156 patients (64.3 ± 14.6 years; 56 female) with first-ever left-hemispheric ischemic stroke were prospectively examined 4.8 ± 2.0 days after symptom onset. Lesions were delineated on magnetic resonance imaging scans for voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping. First, while inferior-parietal lesions affected both gesture types, specific associations emerged between intransitive gesture deficits and anterior temporal damage and between transitive gesture deficits and premotor and occipito-parietal lesions. Second, impaired hand configurations were related to anterior intraparietal damage, hand/wrist-orientation errors to premotor lesions, and kinematic errors to inferior-parietal/occipito-temporal lesions. Third, premotor lesions impacted more on transitive imitation compared with actual tool use, pantomimed and actual tool use were more susceptible to lesioned insular cortex and subjacent white matter. In summary, transitive and intransitive gestures differentially rely on ventro-dorsal and ventral streams due to higher demands on temporo-spatial processing (transitive) or stronger reliance on semantic information (intransitive), respectively.

Abstract: The study aimed to elucidate areas involved in recognizing tool-associated actions, and to characterize the relationship between recognition and active performance of tool use.We performed voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping in a prospective cohort of 98 acute left-hemisphere ischemic stroke patients (68 male, age mean ± standard deviation, 65 ± 13 years; examination 4.4 ± 2 days post-stroke). In a video-based test, patients distinguished correct tool-related actions from actions with spatio-temporal (incorrect grip, kinematics, or tool orientation) or conceptual errors (incorrect tool-recipient matching, e.g., spreading jam on toast with a paintbrush). Moreover, spatio-temporal and conceptual errors were determined during actual tool use.Deficient spatio-temporal error discrimination followed lesions within a dorsal network in which the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) and the lateral temporal cortex (sLTC) were specifically relevant for assessing functional hand postures and kinematics, respectively. Conversely, impaired recognition of conceptual errors resulted from damage to ventral stream regions including anterior temporal lobe. Furthermore, LTC and IPL lesions impacted differently on action recognition and active tool use, respectively.In summary, recognition of tool-associated actions relies on a componential network. Our study particularly highlights the dissociable roles of LTC and IPL for the recognition of action kinematics and functional hand postures, respectively.

Abstract: Visual neglect after left-hemispheric lesion is thought to be less frequent, less severe, and shorter lived than visuospatial attention deficits resulting from right-hemispheric lesions. However, reports exist opposing this assumption, and it is unclear how these findings fit into the current theories of visuospatial processing. Furthermore, only little is known about the exact structure-function relationship between visuospatial attention deficits and left-hemispheric stroke. We investigated neglect in 121 patients with acute left-hemispheric ischemic stroke by following clinical development from within the first 24 h of stroke onset until hospital discharge. Visuospatial attention deficits occurred in 17.4 % (n = 21). Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping associated visual neglect to the right with lesion in the left superior and middle temporal gyrus, temporal pole, frontal operculum, and insula. Neglect severity, captured by the Center of Cancellation Score of the Bells test, was associated with lesion in the left anterior temporal lobe and the left frontal operculum. The left-hemispheric lesion pattern of neglect thus involves areas of the ventral attention system and partly mirrors the critical regions of the right hemisphere known to be associated with neglect. Based on our prospective analysis on a large cohort of patients with left-hemispheric stroke, this study shows that in a remarkable number of patients, the left hemisphere essentially contributes to an intact representation of space and clarifies the impact of the distinct left-hemispheric structures involved in visuospatial processing.

Abstract: Impaired tool use despite preserved basic motor functions occurs after stroke in the context of apraxia, a cognitive motor disorder. To elucidate the neuroanatomical underpinnings of different tool use deficits, prospective behavioral assessments of 136 acute left-hemisphere stroke patients were combined with lesion delineation on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images for voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping. Deficits affecting both the selection of the appropriate recipient for a given tool (ToolSelect, e.g., choosing the nail for the hammer), and the performance of the typical tool-associated action (ToolUse, e.g., hammering in the nail) were associated with ventro-dorsal stream lesions, particularly within inferior parietal lobule. However, ToolSelect compared with ToolUse deficits were specifically related to damage within ventral stream regions including anterior temporal lobe. Additional retrospective error dichotomization based on the videotaped performances of ToolUse revealed that spatio-temporal errors (movement errors) were mainly caused by inferior parietal damage adjacent to the intraparietal sulcus while content errors, that is, perplexity, unrecognizable, or semantically incorrect movements, resulted from lesions within supramarginal gyrus and superior temporal lobe. In summary, our results suggest that in the use of tools, conceptual and production-related aspects can be differentiated and are implemented in anatomically distinct streams.

Abstract: Rheumatic fever remains an important disease of childhood in New Zealand, despite increasing access and awareness of the need for preventive antibiotic treatment. Mãori and Pacific children have an incidence rate about 30 times and 70 times higher than European children, from annual notification data (77.7 per 100,000 for Pacific, 30.4 per 100,000 for Mãori, and 1 per 100,000 for European). In the early 20th century, a Canadian dentist, Weston A. Price, noted that 95% of children who presented with acute rheumatic fever also had advanced dental caries. Oral health surveys show that Mãori and Pacific children are disproportionately affected by dental caries compared to European. Excess dietary sugar intake is widely recognised to cause dental decay and also provides energy to some species of bacteria implicated in the pathogenesis of dental decay and rheumatic fever. We suggest that a case-control study be conducted to evaluate the evidence for an association between sugar intake, dental decay and incidence of disease.

Abstract: The importance of Chlamydia pneumoniae respiratory tract infection in childhood is under discussion. 798 hospitalized children with respiratory tract diseases were prospectively studied during a 2-year period by polymerase chain reaction and enzyme immunoassay (PCR-EIA) detection from throat swabs. Paired serum samples were used to screen for Chlamydia antibodies. C. pneumoniae was detected by PCR-EIA in 74 children. Prevalence was 11% in lower and 4% in upper respiratory tract disease (p = 0.049) without age dependency. From November to February prevalence was elevated (42/277 vs. 32/521; p < 0.001). Using serology, prevalence of acute Chlamydia infection increased with age (p < 0.001) and the number of coinfections (p < 0.001), without seasonal variation. Characteristics of C. pneumoniae carriage in the respiratory tract in childhood differ from those in systemic infection.

Abstract: The aim of the study was to check and analyse the long-term outcome of infants and toddlers suffering from frequently relapsing and/or chronic bronchitis (with airway obstruction) and to find prognostic factors. Methods: We observed and analysed the clinical outcome for 2-7 years in 115 children (31 infants/babies and 84 toddlers) suffering from "bronchitis obstructiva recidivans" and/or "bronchitis obstructiva chronica" in a prospective study. A multivariate analysis was made for the factors "atopic disease in other family members/FA", "RSV infection of the child", "sex of the patient", "associated atopic diseases of the child/patient", the "total IgE serum concentration (IgE) of the child/patient", "chronic bronchopulmonary dysplasia of former pretem infants/bpD", "pathological gastroesophageal reflux/GER", "significantly secretory eosinophilia/SSE" in nasal or bronchial secretion smears (> 13% eosinophils), the "concentration of the eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP concentration)" of serum and tracheobronchial secretions (TBA). Results: 2/3 of all children became healthy at the end of the study but 1/3 of the infants/toddlers developed a typical bronchial asthma. The "FA", "associated atopic diseases of the child/patient", the "SSE" and "elevated total serum IgE level of the child/patient" could be identified as positive predicting factors for the development of bronchial asthma and had a sensitivity of 50-90% and a specifity of 76-91%. The prognostic values of these 4 factors were increasing from 44-57% (only a single factor was existing) up to 64-91% (in two factors) and finally to 89-100% in 3 and/or 4 factors. Conclusions: In contrast to the literature we found, that the early RSV infection, GER, bpD and ECP concentration of serum and TBA had no statistical link to the development of bronchial asthma in childhood. In young children suffering from frequently relapsing bronchitis or chronic bronchitis the following signs have a predictive/prognostic value: Atopic diseases in other family members (FA), other atopic diseases of the child, SSE and elevated serum IgE concentration of the child/patient. These factors indicate that the child's early "bronchitis" has a poor long-term prognosis and will become a bronchial asthma.

Abstract: Background Meaningful gestures are one of the key features of social interaction and comprise both object-associated transitive movements (e.g. hammering) as well as intransitive movements referring to a communicative content (e.g. waving goodbye). The ability to imitate meaningful gestures is frequently impaired in apraxia due to left-hemispheric stroke. However, the pathophysiology behind these deficits so far remained unresolved. A dual stream-model for a dichotomized organisation of higher cognitive functions such as language or praxis has been proposed, with a dorsal stream involved in sensorimotor processing and a ventral stream for content and imagery. Aim of the study was to elucidate the role of the dual stream-model in imitation of meaningful movements using voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM). Methods We performed VLSM in a sample of 136 left-hemispheric stroke patients (mean age ± SD 65 years ± 15, 83 male). Neuropsychological testing and MR-imaging were carried out in the acute phase after ischemic stroke (5.1 ± 1.9 days after symptom onset) to avoid interference with brain reorganization. Imitation deficits were assessed with a block of ten object-related movements and a block of ten communicative gestures presented by the examiner, patients were instructed to imitate the movement. Lesions were mapped on the diffusion-weighted image (if not available on Flair- image), statistical analysis with Brunner–Munzel Test was performed using non-parametric statistics implemented in MRIcron. Results Deficits in both, imitation of transitive and intransitive movements were associated with lesions in areas of the dorsal stream involved in motor control and action representations, such as the inferior parietal lobule, and the supramarginal gyrus. In addition to these common areas, deficits in imitation of intransitive movements showed a specific association with the superior and middle temporal lobe, whereas deficient transitive movements were also related to lesions within the ventral premotor cortex without involvement of temporal structures. Conclusion Deficits affecting imitation of transitive and intransitive gestures result from different and characteristic neuroanatomical lesion patterns. Our data suggest that imitation of transitive gestures depicting common tool-associated actions mainly involves stored motor programs and, thus, is mainly based on the dorsal stream. Conversely, imitation of intransitive communicative gestures additionally relies on the ventral stream, probably due to the higher semantic content, given the often symbolic character of intransitive gestures.

Abstract: Background Apraxia, a disorder of higher motor control, frequently leads to impaired tool use or imitation capacities due to left hemispheric lesions. However, despite similar lesion size or location, patients present with different apraxic deficits thus different early reorganization mechanism may be assumed. To understand the impaired praxis network after stroke on a functional level, we correlated behavioral performance in imitation and tool use tasks with activation patterns in fMRI of 47 acute left-hemispheric stroke patients. Methods A cohort of 47 acute stroke patients (mean age 63.5 years ± SD 13.6; 13 female) with first ever embolic stroke in the left arteria cerebri media territory were tested for deficits in imitation of meaningless hand and finger postures and tool associated actions (pantomime of tool use, imitation of tool use, actual tool use). Testing was performed mean 4.8 days ± SD 2.9 post stroke. FMRI was acquired during presentation of video sequences of tool-associated actions viewed from a first-person perspective. Voxel wise linear regression analyses for task scores only and with lesion volume as covariate as well as group differences for categorized behavioral performance (deficit vs. no deficit) were calculated to analyze activity associated with behavioral performance in tool use and meaningless imitation. Analyses were performed using GLMflex. Results are presented on a p Results Intact imitation of meaningless postures was associated with activation in the left middle occipital gyrus as well as in the left superior temporal lobe in linear regression analyses and categorical group differences (deficit vs. no deficit). Tool associated tasks correlated with activation in the left supramarginal gyrus and superior temporal lobe without occipital activation. For group differences in pantomime of tool use (deficit vs. no deficit) an additional activation for patients with low behavioral performance could be found in the posterior middle temporal gyrus. Conclusion For intact imitation of meaningless postures and tool associated actions, specific left hemispheric activation patterns in the acute phase after stroke could be determined. These areas are commonly associated to the left hemispheric praxis network. While intact imitation of meaningless gestures seems to rely on intact left middle occipital gyrus for visual analysis of the presented movement tool associated actions rather seem to rely on integrity of the supramarginal gyrus, known to store movement engrams. Patients with deficits in pantomime of tool use additionally show activation of posterior middle temporal gyrus for semantic movement information. These mechanisms possibly can be interpreted as early compensatory effort.

Abstract: This study compared MR during arterial portography (MRAP) with CT during arterial portography (CTAP) with regard to the detection and differentiation of liver metastases before surgery.Fifteen patients with liver metastases were enrolled before surgery according to the guidelines of our institutional review board and good clinical practice. After mesentericography, unenhanced scans (Volume Zoom) were performed initially. For CTAP, the contrast medium was injected through the superior mesenteric artery. Images were acquired in portal and delayed enhancement. The MR protocol (1.5 T; Magnetom Symphony) started with T1-weighted fast low-angle shot (FLASH) T2-weighted turbo spin echo (TSE). MRAP followed with gadolinium-enhanced dynamic T1-weighted 3D FLASH. Delayed-phase T1-weighted 2D FLASH axial images were performed 2 min after IV injection of the contrast medium. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of CTAP and MRAP was performed by three blinded radiologists regarding the number of lesions and their size, localization, and differential diagnosis.The overall sensitivity in detecting liver metastases was 97% with MRAP and 93% with CTAP (p0.05, not significant [n.s.]). The specificity was calculated to be 97% for MRAP and 82% for CTAP (p0.0001, statistically significant [s.s.]). The differences in sensitivity were more accentuated if only lesions 10 mm or smaller were considered (95% vs 88%, p0.05, n.s.), for which the respective specificities were 95% and 80% (p0.0014, s.s.). Improvements in sensitivity and specificity were associated with a higher lesion-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio (59.4 +/- 51.0 for MRAP vs 10.4 +/- 7.3 for CTAP) and resulted in higher diagnostic confidence in the differential diagnosis of liver lesions (p0.001, s.s.) and better interobserver agreement (median kappa value, 0.88 vs 0.63).MRAP proved to be a reliable method in the preoperative detection of small liver metastases in particular, with a higher sensitivity and specificity than CTAP. If organizational difficulties of MRAP can be overcome, MRAP could be considered instead of CTAP in the preoperative invasive evaluation of metastatic liver disease.

Abstract: Background Chlamydophila pneumoniae was frequently found in bronchial secretions of children with therapy-refractory bronchitis or pneumonia. It was studied, how the agent modifies the course of disease and what findings are associated with the infection. Patients and methods Bronchial secretions obtained at bronchoscopy of 428 children were studied for C. pneumoniae infection using polymerase chain reaction with enzyme immunoassay detection. Children tested negative and positive were compared for their clinical findings. Results C. pneumoniae was found in 143 children (33 %). A C. pneumoniae infection has been found to be associated with a purulent bronchial inflammation (90/143 vs. 144/285, p = 0.02), a Streptococcus pneumoniae co-infection (13/143 vs. 6/285, p = 0.002) and a restrictive disturbance (11/51 vs. 8/93, p = 0.04). Purulent inflammation (Odds ratio 7.9; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.6-39.3), 2 co-infections (Odds ratio 14.3; 95 % CI 1.4-144.4) and co-infection with M. pneumoniae (4/4 versus 9/26, p = 0.03; Mantel Haentzel 3.0; 95 % CI 1.1-8.0) were identified as factors more often associated with a restrictive disturbance in children with bronchial C. pneumoniae infection. An adequate antibiotic therapy improved pulmonary function. No association was found for wheezing, eosinophil inflammation of the nasal mucosa, alpha-1 antitrypsin or immunoglobulin deficiency in serum, level of secretory IgA in bronchial mucus, pathological lung scintigram, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, sweat test and other co-infections. Conclusions In children with therapy-refractory bronchitis or pneumonia bronchial C. pneumoniae infection was associated with a more severe disease in case of several, mostly bacterial co-infections. Adequate antibiotic therapy for C. pneumoniae infection has been demonstrated to improve pulmonary function.
