INTRODUCTION Anetoderma is an elastolytic skindisorder that has been associated with the presenceof antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Patients withantiphospholipid antibody-positive anetoderma havebeen reported to develop symptoms of Graves disease,antiphospholipid syndrome, and other autoimmuneconditions. The temporal relationship, however,between anetoderma onset and the emergence ofaPL rema...

In 2009, Hamel et al. [1] proposed the disease “extensive macular atrophy with pseudodrusen-like appearance” (EMAP) as a new clinical entity. It is characterized by early-onset (<50 years) bilaterally symmetric macular atrophy with increased vertical axis, surrounded by numerous pseudodrusen-like deposits, with rapid involvement of the fovea and entire posterior pole. In addition, EMAP patients...

A 40-year-old male patient with primary anetoderma is presented in whom antiphospholipid antibodies were detected while not fulfilling diagnostic criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome. The possible pathogenic role of antiphospholipid antibodies in the disease development is postulated.

A plastic nervous system requires the ability not only to acquire and store but also to forget. Here, we report that musashi (msi-1) is necessary for time-dependent memory loss in C. elegans. Tissue-specific rescue demonstrates that MSI-1 function is necessary in the AVA interneuron. Using RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (IP), we found that MSI-1 binds to mRNAs of three subunits of the ...

Anetoderma is a rare elastolytic disorder characterized by circumscribed areas of flaccid skin due to the loss of elastic tissue in the dermis. Primary anetoderma is frequently observed in patients with autoimmune diseases or abnormalities especially with antiphospholipid antibodies with or without antiphospholipid syndrome. In this case report we discuss a patient with primary anetoderma with ...

Angle-gather migration creates seismic images for different reflection angles at the reflector. We formulate an angle-gather time migration algorithm and study its properties. The algorithm serves as an educational introduction to the angle gather concept. It also looks attractive as a practical alternative to conventional common-offset time migration both for velocity analysis and for AVO/AVA ...
