SUMMARY: The 50 patients in this survey were classified by a panel of neurologists into 4 clinical sub-groups: Group la (“typical” Friedreich's ataxia, complete picture), lb incomplete Ila (“atypical” possible recessive Roussy-Levy syndrome), lib (heterogeneous ataxias). symptoms and signs analyzed for each these groups. A constellation constantly present ataxia obligatory diagnosis was described. Other important symptoms, such as the Babinski sign, kyphoscoliosis pes cavus found to be...
A multi-center study has been set up to accurately characterize the optical properties of diffusive liquid phantoms based on Intralipid and India ink at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths.Nine research laboratories from six countries adopting different measurement techniques, instrumental set-ups, data analysis methods determined their best relative uncertainties dilutions prepared with common samples two compounds.By exploiting a suitable statistical model, comprehensive reference values three...

The paraoxonase gene cluster on chromosome 7 comprising the PON1-3 genes is an attractive candidate for association in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) given role of during response to oxidative stress and their contribution enzymatic break down nerve toxins. Oxidative considered one mechanisms involved ALS pathogenesis. Evidence this includes fact that mutations SOD1, which normally reduce production toxic superoxide anion, account 12% 23% familial cases ALS. In addition, PON variants...
Smart home technologies constitute a potential solution to allow people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain in their home. These intelligent houses contain technological devices aiming provide adapted cognitive assistance (prompts) when needed. However, literature review of the field revealed predominant use verbal prompts little knowledge about real effectiveness. To contribute solving this important issue, we propose, paper, comprehensive guidelines help smart homes researchers maximize...
SUMMARY: A systematic study of plasma lipids and lipoproteins was carried out in II cases Friedreich's ataxia 6 familial spastic (Charlevoix-Saguenay disease) using healthy normolipidemic volunteers comparable age sex as controls. No differences were noted the fatty acid profile total lipid fraction, cholesterol phospholipids or percentage distribution individual phospholipid classes. The triglycerides significantly higher ataxia, but remained within normal range. Although no abnormalities...
Assistive technologies represent a potential solution to allow people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remain in their home for as long possible. They involve the use of technological devices called prompts, which aim provide adapted cognitive assistance when needed. However, literature review field revealed predominant verbal prompts little knowledge real effectiveness. In order help adapting assistive particular profile AD, this paper proposes comprehensive guidelines. First, we identify main...
The authors show that the reflection coefficient r of a succession N random optical layers has well defined, but sample-dependent, limit when to infinity . probability distribution or at total is found depend only on (Imr)/ xi 2/3 where 2 noise variance. analytical expressions appearing in this localisation problem are be same as universal functions describing intermittency with noise.
The authors first develop a method to obtain rigorous bounds for the Lyapounov exponent of products random matrix. When applied class 1D problems. including localisation, it reproduces correct scaling behaviour at band edge and gives very good approximations prefactors. They then study analytically successive moments distribution law trace matrix product within whole energy band. centre anomaly is found affect statistics problem exact anomalous value recovered through replica trick.
Intrinsic reduced scattering coefficient of Intralipid and intrinsic absorption Indian ink at NIR wavelengths are accurately assessed in a multi-center study involving different techniques, instrumental set-ups, analysis methods.
