The number of interleavings that a concurrent program can have is typically given as the key difficulty in automatic analysis of concurrent software. Weak memory, as implemented by modern multiprocessors such as Intel x86, IBM Power and ARM, is generally believed to make this problem even harder. On the contrary, we believe that by embracing rather than fleeing from weak memory, we can obtain e...

We report acute onset quadriplegia in a ten year old boy associated with basal ganglia lesions due to biotin deficiency. Prolonged raw egg consumption was identified as predisposing factor for biotin deficiency. Treatment with biotin resulted in remarkable recovery.

To cite: Carswell C, Northey LC, Davies L, et al. Pract Neurol 2015;15:76–79. A 72-year-old man presented with sudden onset of right-sided facial muscle weakness and slurred speech and a 3-day history of fevers, myalgia and sore throat. There was no hyperacusis, change in taste or lacrimation. His history included untreated hepatitis C diagnosed 10 years before, but quiescent at his annual live...

So many, 11 of 14, contributors to this volume are from the Atlanta area that I expected this book to speak with a Southern drawl. That it does not attests to how much this metropolis, growing in kudzu-fashion, has changed. This element of profound change is also a major motif in the 10 chapters collected by the editors to promote community-based health research as a mechanism for addressing hi...

A healthy 58-year-old man presented to the emergency department with right arm weakness first noticed while playing hockey that day. He could not recall the onset of injury, but endorsed several weeks of antecedent intermittent right shoulder discomfort. Examination revealed a deformity of the right biceps brachii with distal bunching of the muscle (Figure). Tenderness existed along the proxima...

Respiratory failure is a common complication of acute neuromuscular disease and high cervical cord lesions and should be monitored by measuring forced vital capacity and respiratory rate. Urgent imaging is mandatory if there is any clinical suspicion of spinal cord disease. Treatment of Guillain-Barré syndrome with plasma exchange or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) speeds up the rate of recov...

Paralysis of the diaphragm occurring as a result of damage to the phrenic nerves during thoracic and neck surgery is well recognised.' 2 It is likely that weakness, as opposed to complete paralysis, of the diaphragm could occur after less severe trauma to the phrenic nerves. We describe a patient who developed bilateral diaphragm weakness after complicated surgery on a cervical disc, with subse...

This paper summarizes answers to frequently asked questions about the iOS keychain weakness described in [HB11]. It provides further information for security evaluators on the impact of the findings.

JCB • VOLUME 168 • NUMBER 6 • 2005 850 Acyl cycles move Ras cyl groups cycle endlessly on and off Ras to confine the protein to the Golgi and plasma membrane (PM), as shown by Oliver Rocks, Alfred Wittinghofer, Philippe Bastiaens (EMBL, Heidelberg, Germany), and colleagues. These locales are the homes of two Ras isoforms, Nras and Hras, both of which are modified with the acyl group palmitate. ...
