    1. A 15-year-old male with isolated left-sided hearing loss for more than 3 months was referred to the department of otorhinolaryngology with the suspected diagnosis of cholesteatoma. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the temporal bone, showing osseous destructions in the area of the jugular foramen but relatively little affection of the middle ear, had been performed prior to referral (Fig. 1). The patient had no vertigo, pain, or otorrhea, and the auditory canal and tympanic membrane appeared normal. For further evaluation, pure-tone audiometry showing a 40 to 75 dB conductive hearing loss over all frequencies, tympanometry showing a flat curve, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the temporal bone were performed. The first MRI images showed a lesion with polycyclic borders and osseo-destructive components in the left temporal bone.

      CaseHPOFreeText: The patient had isolated left-sided hearing loss for more than 3 months. MRI showed a highly enhancing mass in the left temporal bone in the region of the jugular foramen, that measured 3.4 × 2.3 × 3.3 cm and exhibited a salt and pepper pattern in some areas. Definite histology confirmed ELST, and because a radical resection could not be guaranteed due to the highly infiltrative growth of the tumor, postoperative stereotactic radiation was initiated. The patient also had angiomatous lesions of the nasal and pharyngeal mucosa.

    1. CASE REPORTAn apparently well 15-year-old male from northern part of India presented in August 2017, with a history of acute-onset bilateral painless vision loss of BE. Onset to nadir was within 3 days. There was no history of pain around the eyes or on eye movement. He also gave intermittent history of headache, which was not severe before the onset of vision loss for about 3 months. According to the ophthalmological findings outside, he had bilateral disc edema with a visual acuity of 6/36 bilaterally. He was managed as a case of optic neuritis with pulse methylprednisolone and subsequently on oral prednisolone taper. He reported no significant change in acuity with the same.He presented to our emergency department 2 months after the index event with intermittent episodes of headache, palpitation, chest pain, and persisting low visual acuity with an admission blood pressure of 240/120 mm Hg and heart rate of 160 beats per minute. There was no asymmetry in upper limb blood pressure, no renal bruit, or radio-femoral delay. Neurological examination revealed normal sensorium, visual acuity of 6/36 both eyes (BE). Fundoscopic examination revealed bilateral disc edema with hard exudates, suggestive of stage 4 Keith and Wagner hypertensive retinopathy, and fields showed centrocecal scotoma in BE [Figure 1]. He had other features of end-organ damage in the form of renal failure with subnephrotic rage proteinuria and left ventricular hypertrophy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain contrast showed subcortical white matter T2 hyperintensities and prior right lenticular hemorrhage with normal appearing optic nerves. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis was normal with normal opening pressure [Figure 2].Open in a separate windowFigure 1Fundus photographs before and after surgery showing resolution of hard exudates and disc edemaOpen in a separate windowFigure 2(A) T2-weighted (T2W) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence brain showing white matter changes and right lenticular hemorrhage. (B) Normal optic nerves and T2W axial sequence. (C) Contrast-enhanced CT abdomen arterial phase showing (red asterisk) suprarenal masses with heterogeneous enhancementHe required intravenous antihypertensive medications to control blood pressure, and he was shifted to neuro intensive care unit (ICU) for further management. Vasculitic and connective tissue disease workup was negative, and renal artery Doppler did not reveal any stenosis. He was evaluated for endocrine causes of hypertension and was detected to have elevated urinary metanephrine levels. Computed tomography (CT) of abdomen revealed bilateral pheochromocytoma [Figure 2]. He was subsequently managed under the department of endocrinology. His antihypertensive medications were optimized and taken up for adrenalectomy, following which his blood pressure stabilized. On follow-up after 1 year, his visual acuity has improved to 6/12 BE with residual disc pallor, and resolution of hard exudates and metanephrine levels [Figure 1]. In view of bilateral pheochromocytoma, he was evaluated for genetic causes and was detected to have 3p25-26 (c.482 G > A) VHL gene chromosomal mutation consistent with VHL disease. Further follow-up has not shown any new tumors/retinal hemangioblastomas. There was no positive family history elicited. His relatives have been advised to get screened for the mutation.

    1. Case 7In 1980, a 15-yr-old girl with a familial history of VHL presented with loss of visual acuity leading to the diagnosis of bilateral retinal hemangioblastomas followed by laser and cryotherapy. However, outcome was unilateral blindness. Furthermore, the patient was then operated three times for CNS hemangioblastomas between ages 18 and 24. At age 26, she presented with a palpable lateral neck mass. CT of the head and neck revealed a 3-cm carotid body tumor. The tumor was removed, and histology showed a paraganglioma. Molecular genetics identified the VHL germline mutation p.Thr105Pro.

    2. Case 11In 1978, an 8-yr-old girl without familial history of VHL was operated for a right pheochromocytoma and at age 13 for a contralateral pheochromocytoma. At age 15, a 4-cm mass at the neck was diagnosed by selective arteriography as a carotid paraganglioma that was removed and histologically confirmed. The patient was then operated twice for cerebellar hemangioblastoma at age 22, leading to the diagnosis of VHL disease. At age 27, the patient was operated again for a retrocaval pheochromocytoma and for islet cell tumors. The patient was also repeatedly treated for bilateral retinal hemangioblastomas leading to blindness at age 32. At age 36, again a pheochromocytoma was removed. Molecular genetic analysis identified the p.Thr157Ile VHL germline mutation. So far, there are no affected relatives.

    1. We report the case of a 15-year-old boy with the diagnosis of aggressive GH-PRL pituitary macroadenoma and a family history of VHL disease. Pituitary resection was performed, although complete excision of the lesion could not be confirmed by the neurosurgeon. A control MRI was done 6 months after surgery and the pituitary lesion was similar to the presurgical image. A second operation allowed partial resection of the tumour followed by targeted radiotherapy.

      PatientID: None (Proband)

      KindredID: 1

      Case: M, 18Y0M, Ethnicity Unknown

      DiseaseAssertion: VHL

      FamilyInfo: The family history revealed VHL in his mother, who died at the age of 40, and in his maternal aunt and grandmother, deceased at 30 and 33 years, respectively. His mother was operated on three times for cerebellar hemangioblastomas, the first at 13 years of age. She had also been treated for bilateral retinal hemangioblastomas since the age of 19. In addition, she had surgery for a renal tumor at the age of 32 and also had pancreatic cysts. She died of the diffuse hemangioblastomas in the posterior fossa. Variant is stated to be previously identified in the family but it is not clear which members have been genetically tested.

      CaseHPOFreeText: Referred at the age of 15 for decreased visual acuity of the right eye. Growth failure with short stature for age and lack of pubertal development was noted. This was confirmed by ophthal-mologic examination which also showed bitemporal quadranopsia. Two retinal vascular lesions had already been diagnosed and photocoagulated. Cerebral MRI examination visualized a voluminous pituitary adenoma (confirmed pathologically) with suprasellar extension compressing the optic fibres invading both cavernous sinuses. It also confirmed two small cerebellar hemangioblastomas. On follow-up, MRI showed a persistent pituitary adenoma (confirmed by pathology) with numerous mitoses. A cystic part of the main hemangioblastoma was also noted in the right cerebellum image.

    1. Daarna ga je van de hulplijn naar de werkelijke nieuwe budgetlijn. De relatieve prijzen blijven gelijk, terwijl de bestedingsruimte verandert. De beweging van B naar het nieuwe optimum C is het inkomenseffect. Samen vormen zij het totale prijseffect

      Nieuwe budgetlijn en oude indifferentiecurve.

    2. Het substitutie-effect isoleert de verandering in relatieve prijzen. In de grafiek teken je daarvoor een hulplijn die parallel loopt aan de nieuwe budgetlijn en de oude indifferentiecurve raakt

      Het substitutie effect vindt plaats op de indifferentiecurve

    3. Bij perfecte substituten (rechte indifferentiecurven) werkt de raakvoorwaarde MRS = Pₓ/Pᵧ niet — je krijgt een hoekoplossing: al het geld gaat naar het goed met het hoogste nut per euro (vergelijk a/Pₓ met b/Pᵧ). Bij perfecte complementen (L-vormig) ligt het optimum op de knik, niet op een raakpunt; los daar X = Y op met de budgetlijn. Zoek dus niet blind naar een raakpunt.

    1. Die Studie des Potsdam-Instituts für Klimafolgenforschung zeigt, dass Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) theoretisch bis 2050 jährlich 7,5 Milliarden Tonnen CO₂ entfernen könnte. Allerdings würde dies die planetaren Belastungsgrenzen stark überschreiten, insbesondere in Bezug auf Stickstoffeintrag, Süßwasserverbrauch, Entwaldung und Biosphärenintegrität. Unter Berücksichtigung dieser Grenzen reduziert sich das Potenzial auf nur 200 Millionen Tonnen CO₂ jährlich. Die Studie betont die Notwendigkeit, neben der CO₂-Bilanz auch andere ökologische Faktoren zu berücksichtigen und schlägt vor, durch weniger Fleischkonsum Flächen für Klimaplantagen freizumachen.

      What lead to this shift? Did it have some connection to the need of dehumanization to condone the act of slavery in the context of the Atlantic Slave trade?

Dem amerikanischen Historiker Künstlubodien zufolge ist ein Vorbild für die Trump-Administration weniger der historische Faschismus in Italien und Deutschland als die kapitalistische oligarchien Herrschaft in Saudi Arabien. Tramp Wolle die USA zu einem modernen Petro stattmachen. Er wolle dazu die Weltweite Abhängigkeit von den USA nicht nur beim Öl ausnutzen. Außerdem stütze er sich auf die enorm finanziellen Ressourcen Saudi-Abiens. Der S.A. in den New York Times stützt diese Tese mit einer Vielzahl von Einzelbeobachtungen. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/opinion/trump-saudi-arabia-america.html

      The speaker tells the listener to forget societal norms and barriers, telling them that they have already met in a sacred place, a reference to the temple or flea. The flea creates a close, private area for the two of them to be free from the view of others.

      paraphrase - history of labor - Michel gives a nice succinct summary of the broad strokes of the history of labor over the last few millennia: - Civilizations have begun as slave-based societies first - Then when the Christian revolution occurred after the fall of the Roman Empire, "Ora et Labora (Pray and Work)" was adopted to transform work into a spiritually meaningful endeavor - Then in the 16th century, this philosophy was replaced by turning labor into a commodity, where it has remained ever since, - resulting in a world where 85% of those surveyed say they are not engaged with their job

    1. The problem with that presumption is that people are alltoo willing to lower standards in order to make the purported newcomer appear smart. Justas people are willing to bend over backwards and make themselves stupid in order tomake an AI interface appear smart

      AI has recently become such a big thing in our lives today. For a while I was seeing chatgpt and snapchat AI all over the media. I feel like people ask these sites stupid questions that they already know the answer too because they don't want to take a few minutes to think about the answer. I found a website stating how many people use AI and not surprisingly, it shows that 27% of Americans say they use it several times a day. I can't imagine how many people use it per year.

    1. Given the broad aim of the right of access, the aim of the right of access is notsuitable to be analysed as a precondition for the exercise of the right of accessby the controller as part of its assessment of access requests. Thus, controllersshould not assess “why” the data subject is requesting access, but only “what”the data subject is requesting (see section 3 on the analysis of the request) andwhether they hold personal data relating to that individual (see section 4).Therefore, for example, the controller should not deny access on the groundsor the suspicion that the requested data could be used by the data subject todefend themselves in court in the event of a dismissal or a commercial disputewith the controller9.

      This is very interesting, and the FT (Copies du dossier médical) case will be one to watch.

    1. Une authentique dérogation est à noter: la loi du 15 mars 2004 a introduit l’interdiction du « port de signes ou de tenues » manifestant « ostensiblement une appartenance religieuse » pour les élèves des écoles, collèges et lycées publics, qui sont des usagers du service public de l’éducation. Ainsi, les signes et tenues interdits sont ceux dont le port conduit à se faire immédiatement reconnaître par son appartenance religieuse, tels que le foulard, la kippa ou une croix de dimension manifestement excessive. La loi ne remet pas en cause le droit des élèves de porter des signes religieux discrets.Il est à noter que cette interdiction, strictement limitée aux écoles collèges et lycées publics, ne s’applique pas dans l’enseignement supérieur,et notamment au sein de l’université, que les élèves, usagers, sont libres de fréquenter en revendiquant leur religion, sous réserve, classiquement, de ne pas troubler l’ordre public.

    1. Electrostatic potentials were calculated by the Finite Difference Poisson-Boltzmann (FDPB) method using the program MEAD running within the PCE web server (http://bioserv.rpbs.jussieu.fr/PCE) (Miteva et al, 2005; Bashford et al, 1992). Additions of hydrogen atoms as well as assigning of atomic radii and charges were performed automatically within the server. MEAD numerically solves the Poisson-Boltzmann equation to yield the distribution of electrostatic potential on the protein surface. Calculations were performed on one of the native a-chains of the 2HbS crystal structure (Harrington et al, 1997) as well as its SCWRL (Dunbrack et al, 1993) generated mutants. All calculations were performed by setting the internal protein dielectric constant to 4 and the external solvent dielectric constant to 80. The ionic strength parameter was held at 0.1

    1. A 96-well microplate was coated overnight at 4°C with ovalbumin conjugated peptide in 100 mM carbonate buffer, pH 9.5 (2 /J-g/well). The plate was washed 3 times with PBST and blocked with PBS containing 2% BSA (200/J-l/well) at 37°C for 1 h. Serum samples (diluted in PBS) were added in duplicates (50 (/J-lIwell) at different dilutions (1: 1 00, 1: 1000, 1: 10,000) and the plate was incubated at 37°C for 1 h. The plate was washed and incubated with HRP-conjugated appropriate antibody (1: 1 0,000 dilution in PBS containing 2% BSA) at 37°C for 1 h. The plate was washed thoroughly with PBST and freshly prepared TMB substrate (100/J-lIwell) was added and the reaction was stopped with 2 N H2S04 (50 (/J-l/well) and the absorbance at 450 nm was recorded in an ELISA reader
    1. Nitric oxide (NO) generation within the macrophage was detected using the fluorescent NO-sensitive probe DAF-FM diacetate (7). THP-1 macrophages were harvested and resuspended in serum and phenol-red free RPMI-1640 medium and incubated at room temperature for 30 min in the presence of 1 llM DAF-FM diacetate dye. The cells were washed once with fresh medium to remove the excess probe and kinetic fluorescent measurements were performed on a spectrofluorimeter (BMG Fluostar Optima) at an excitation of 480 nm and emission of 520 nm. Time kinetic measurements were performed after appropriate treatment and the values were represented as arbitrary fluorescence units with the comparisons being made against the fluorescence of the control cells. SNAP (S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine), a photoactivatable nitric oxide donor (8) was used as positive control in the assay.
    1. The specific ribonucleolytic activity of restrictocin and its mutants was followed by detecting the release of the characteristic 400 nucleotide long a-fragment from 28S rRNA of eukaryotic ribosomes. All the reagents, water and glassware used during the experiment were treated with O.I% DEPC to get rid of contaminating ribonucJeases. Rabbit reticulocyte lysate (30 J.Ll) was incubated with different concentrations of the toxin in 40 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) containing 10 mM EDTA at 37 °C for 30 min. in a 50 J.Ll reaction volume. The control reaction did not contain an)' toxin. The reaction was stopped by adding 2 J.Ll of I 0% SDS and incubated at ambient temperature for 5 min. Total RNA was extracted using Trizol reagent. 200 J.LI of the reagent was added to the reaction mixture, mixed well and incubated at room temperature for 5 min. Subsequently, 50 J.LI chloroform was added to each tube, mixed thoroughly and incubated at ambient temperature for 2 min. followed by centrifugation at I2,000 rpm, at 4 °C, for I5 min. in a microfuge (Plastocraft). The aqueous phase was mixed with 125 J.Ll isopropanol to precipitate the RNA, allowed to stand at ambient temperature for I 0 min. and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm at 4 °C for I5 min. The RNA pellet was washed with 75% ethanol, dried in air, dissolved in 10 J.Ll of 0.5% SDS solution and electrophoresed on a 2% agarose gel after heating at 65°C for 2 min. The RNA was visualized by ethidium bromide staining and photographed using Polaroid camera. The photographs were scanned, printed using a laser printer to present as figures in this thesis.
    1. Lipofectin was kindly provided by Syntex, Inc., USA as an aqueous solution containing 1 mg I ml of 1 ipid ( DOTMA DOPE; 50 50 ). The procedure used was as described by Feigner et al., 1987 with appropriate I modifications as suggested in the user s notes. Lipofection was done with 0.5 x 106 cells seeded on a 60 mm plate. For each plasmid, the lipofection was performed in duplicate. The amount and quality of the plasmid DNA used ranged from 400 ng of crude DNA prepared by the mini prep method, to 5 ug of highly purified, cesium banded DNA. The appropriate amount of DNA was suspended in 1.5 ml of serum free DMEM. In another tube, 30 ug of lipofectin was suspended in 1.5 ml of serum free DMEM. The two solutions were mixed. The cells were washed twice with HBSS to totally wash off all traces of serum. The DNA 1 lipofectin mix was then applied to the cells and the cells incubated for 4 hours at 37°C. Next, 3 ml of media containing 10 % FCS was added and the incubation continued at 3 7°C for 16 hours. The culture supernate was then aspirated off and fresh medium added to the cells. The selection for stable clones was started after 48 hours by the procedure described below.
    2. Calcium phosphate mediated stable transfections were performed by the method of Graham and Van der Eb ( 1973 with modifications as described by Gorman ( 1986 ). For each plasmid, two petri dishes each containing 0. 5 x 106 CHO-K1 cells were used, with 10 ug of cesium purified DNA for each transfection. A mock transfection which did not contain any DNA, was performed simultaneously as negative control. Precipitation of the DNA was done with great care to ensure the obtention of a fine, translucent precipitate rather than a dense and opaque precipitate. The calcium phosphate I DNA precipitate was added in 4 ml medium to the cells and the cells incubated for 3 hours at 37°C. At this stage, the cells were examined under the microscope and a fine precipitate appeared as small grains all over the cells. The cells were washed once with serum free medium and a glycerol shock given for 3 minutes at 37°C. The cells were washed twice again with
