Abstract Currently an internationally accepted consensus treatment for relapsed/refractory ATRT is missing. Little known about relapse patterns, prognostic factors and outcome. In a recently published cohort of 143 ATRTs from the EU-RHAB registry, progression on therapy or occurred in 64% (n=91). Previously strategies failure have been restricted to individual, mostly clinically guided, attempt...

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans, formerly Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) is the Gram-negative, acidophilic, chemolithoautotrophic bacterium that obtains its energy from the oxidation of ferrous iron, elemental sulphur, or partially oxidized sulphur compounds (Leduc and Ferroni, 1994; Rohwerder et al., 2003), even hydrogen or formate in anoxic conditions (Drobner et al., 1990; Pronk ...

BACKGROUND Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) describes deep trabeculations in the left ventricular (LV) endocardium and a thinned epicardium. LVNC is seen both as a primary cardiomyopathy and as a secondary finding in other syndromes affecting the myocardium such as neuromuscular disorders. The objective of this study is to define the prevalence of LVNC in the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (D...

Previous studies have revealed an increased fractional anisotropy and greater thickness in the anterior parts of the corpus callosum in meditation practitioners compared with control subjects. Altered callosal features may be associated with an altered inter-hemispheric integration and the degree of brain asymmetry may also be shifted in meditation practitioners. Therefore, we investigated diff...
