We present a case report of a patient diagnosed with Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) presenting with clinical and electrophysiologically confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome. Pre-operative Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an abnormal course of the median nerve; as such an atypical incision and approach were carried out to decompress the nerve to excellent post operative clinical effect. To our knowledg...

Background: Intermittent cold stress delays flowering. This results from interaction between the cold and photoperiodic pathways. Results: CO protein is degraded through an HOS1-mediated ubiquitination mechanism during brief cold treatments. Conclusion: CO acts as a molecular hub that integrates photoperiod and cold signals into the flowering genetic pathways. Significance: The CO-HOS1 module i...

One of the most significant and well-known properties of entangled states is that they may lead to violations of Bell inequalities and are thus inconsistent with any local-realistic theory. However, there are entangled states that cannot violate any Bell inequality, and in general the precise relationship between entanglement and observable nonlocality is not well understood. We demonstrate tha...

Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) is a developmental disorder inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern. Affected organs are the heart and forelimbs with upper extremity skeletal defects and congenital heart malformation. In this study we present three cases of HOS in the same family. In one of these three individuals we detected a transition of C to T (CTG-GTT, V205V) in exon 7 of the TBX5 gene. This ...

Outsourcing data to remote storage servers has become more andmore popular, but the related security and privacy concerns havealso been raised. To protect the pattern in which a user accessesthe outsourced data, various oblivious RAM (ORAM) construc-tions have been designed. However, when existing ORAM designsare extended to support multi-user scenarios, they become vuln...

A polygamous Nigerian family with inherited skeletal cardiovascular anomalies (Holt-Oram syndrome) is described. Common to the affected individuals in this family were pectus excavatum and abnormalities of the thumbs. Atrial septal defect was proven by angiocardiography in one and clinically diagnosed in another member of the family. The mode of inheritance of the abnormalities in this family a...

An Oblivious RAM (ORAM) protocol [13] allows a client to retrieve N-th element of a data array D stored by the server s.t. the server learns no information about N. A related notion is that of an ORAM for Secure Computation (SC-ORAM) [17], which is a protocol that securely implements a RAM functionality, i.e. given a secret-sharing of both D and N, it computes a secret-sharing of D[N]. SC-ORAM ...
