Abstract
Atypical Parkinsonian syndromes are a subset of progressive neurodegenerative disorders that present with signs of Parkinson's disease. However, due to multisystem degeneration, the atypical Parkinsonian syndromes have additional symptoms that are often referred to as Parkinson-plus syndromes. The most well-studied subsets include progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), multiple system atrophy (MSA), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), and Lewy body dementia. Specifically, progressive supranuclear palsy is a tauopathy neurodegenerative disorder that presents with parkinsonism symptoms along with postural instability, vertical saccade, and vertical gaze palsy. Here, we present a case of PSP and provide a brief review of the literature.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders are classified as a group of diseases with progressive loss of neurons secondary to aggregation of misfolded proteins. A few of these neurodegenerative diseases have been associated with degeneration of the transverse pontocerebellar tracts and median pontine raphe nuclei. This specific neuron degeneration results in the radiologic hot cross bun sign (HCBS) on MRI T2 imaging and helps narrow down the differential diagnosis. While multiple system atrophy has a higher prevalence of the HCBS than other neurodegenerative diseases, the sign has also been described with other neurodegenerative disorders such as spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Here, we present a case of spinocerebellar ataxia type 34 with a characteristic hot-cross bun sign and provide a brief review of the literature.

Abstract
The novel concepts within Sepsis‑3 criteria include a focus on dysregulated host responses, removal of the systemic inflammation response syndrome (SIRS) criteria from sepsis diagnosis, the use of Sepsis-related (Sequential) Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores to define organ dysfunction, and the explicit recognition of the septic shock as a subset of sepsis. Protection against infection requires a surveillance system, an effector response against "perceived" pathogens, a method for regaining immune homeostasis following an immune response, and generation of immunological memory. In comparison to normally regulated responses to infection, the innate immune system shows profoundly abnormal neutrophil and macrophage function. Similarly, the adaptive immune system is typically depleted numerically of lymphocytes and functionally with T and B cell exhaustion. Although there are numerous proposed mechanisms by which these dysregulated immune responses may be associated with organ failure, it is unclear what the unifying organ failure mechanisms in sepsis are. Furthermore, in sepsis survivors, the epigenetic changes on immune cells and widespread changes to lymphocyte populations may increase the risk of adverse events such as rehospitalisation and mortality. Finally, our current gaps in understanding of the immune response trajectory and the associated modifiable mechanisms in sepsis leave us a long way from successful immunomodulation for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The prevalence of dementia and cognitive impairment not dementia was investigated in the Caerphilly Prospective Study cohort (men currently aged 65-84 years). METHODS Of 1,633 men eligible for cognitive screening, 1,225 (75%) were seen, with those failing the screening criteria (CAMCOG <83 or decline in CAMCOG >9) being neurologically examined. RESULTS For dementia, diagnosed by DSM-IV criteria, the population prevalence was 5.2% rising to 6.1% in the screened population. For cognitive impairment not dementia, the prevalence in the screened population was 15.6% giving an overall prevalence of cognitive impairment of 21.8%. Prevalence rose fivefold between ages of 65 and 84 years to reach over 50%. CONCLUSION These figures are likely to underestimate actual prevalence in this population, and developing effective interventions should be a public health priority.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A care pathway for the end-of-life had been implemented onto the two renal wards. An audit was performed to highlight potential issues and areas for development. METHOD The audit consisted of a base review of documentation from the medical notes of 10 patients who had died an 'expected' death prior to commencing the renal Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) for the end of life and then 10 patients who had died whilst using the ICP documentation. A questionnaire was also given out to nursing staff who had used the ICP documentation. The results were collated and analysed. RESULTS In the base review 100% of the documentation looked at did not provide a regular documented assessment of symptoms that are common in the terminal phase of life. The ICP provided a documented assessment of all of these main symptoms. The base review indicated a good response by doctors to meet the potential needs of the patient, but the ICP improved on this. This was through the use of a pre-emptive prescription. 80% of all patients were pain free, not agitated, had no nausea or vomiting or respiratory secretions. The 2 patients that had pain received further analgesia and were then pain free at the next assessment. One of the most positive aspects of the audit was that 90% of relatives were aware that the patient was dying and 100% had the plan of care discussed with them. CONCLUSION Implementing the ICP has generated the opportunity to deliver a hospice model of care to a busy renal unit. It has allowed best practice, and a measurable standard of care, in the final stages of patients' lives. Staff find the documentation easy to use and also see it as enhancing patient care.

Abstract
This article explores the anxiety level of, and coping strategies used by, hospital nurses, during a national state of emergency. The study was guided by a stress and coping framework, developed by Lazarus & Folkman, and was conducted at a large teaching hospital, located in the centre of Israel, during the Iraqi crisis in January and February, 1998. Data were collected from a sample of 100 female nurses, and a descriptive correlational design was used. The findings indicated that approximately 33% of the nurses expressed feelings of stress, tension and a sense of discomfort. The dominant coping strategy used by the nurses was direct-active, which was found to be the most effective strategy. As they were unable to remove or control the stressor, stress management intervention by nursing managers focused mainly on communicating with staff and providing social support - informational and emotional--to buffer the stressful experience. Providing support and help in finding practical solutions is important for maintaining emotional stability of staff, thereby helping them to improve their nursing interventions in assisting people to cope with stressful situations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We set out to determine the clinical significance of atypical immature squamous metaplasia (AIM). METHODS We performed in a military, hospital-based colposcopy clinic a descriptive, retrospective review of patients who had a diagnosis of AIM. Patients were examined at 3- to 4-month intervals for at least 1 year after a diagnosis of AIM was established. A gynecological pathologist reviewed all histological and cytological specimens. Initial histological or cytological specimens were tested for the presence of HPV DNA using in situ hybridization. RESULTS High-risk HPV DNA types 16 or 18 were detected in 3% of patients with AIM. Concurrent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN3) was noted in 3% of patients with AIM. One-third of patients with initially diagnosed AIM had complete resolution of this lesion after 1 year of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS This descriptive, retrospective review shows that AIM does not appear to be associated with high-risk HPV DNA or with CIN3. In this limited study, a concurrent diagnosis of AIM likely does not influence the 1-year behavior of CIN. The degree of CIN should dictate treatment recommendations. A larger prospective trial is needed.

Abstract
In cell culture assays, Frizzled and Dfrizzled2, two members of the Frizzled family of integral membrane proteins, are able to bind Wingless and transduce the Wingless signal. To address the role of these proteins in the intact organism and to explore the question of specificity of ligand-receptor interactions in vivo, we have conducted a genetic analysis of frizzled and Dfrizzled2 in the embryo. These experiments utilize a small gamma-ray-induced deficiency that uncovers Dfrizzled2. Mutants lacking maternal frizzled and zygotic frizzled and Dfrizzled2 exhibit defects in the embryonic epidermis, CNS, heart and midgut that are indistinguishable from those observed in wingless mutants. Epidermal patterning defects in the frizzled, Dfrizzled2 double-mutant embryos can be rescued by ectopic expression of either gene. In frizzled, Dfrizzled2 mutant embryos, ectopic production of Wingless does not detectably alter the epidermal patterning defect, but ectopic production of an activated form of Armadillo produces a naked cuticle phenotype indistinguishable from that produced by ectopic production of activated Armadillo in wild-type embryos. These experiments indicate that frizzled and Dfrizzled2 function downstream of wingless and upstream of armadillo, consistent with their proposed roles as Wingless receptors. The lack of an effect on epidermal patterning of ectopic Wingless in a frizzled, Dfrizzled2 double mutant argues against the existence of additional Wingless receptors in the embryo or a model in which Frizzled and Dfrizzled2 act simply to present the ligand to its bona fide receptor. These data lead to the conclusion that Frizzled and Dfrizzled2 function as redundant Wingless receptors in multiple embryonic tissues and that this role is accurately reflected in tissue culture experiments. The redundancy of Frizzled and Dfrizzled2 explains why Wingless receptors were not identified in earlier genetic screens for mutants defective in embryonic patterning.

Abstract
The vertebrate Axin protein, the product of the mouse fused gene, binds to beta-catenin to inhibit Wnt signaling. We have identified a homolog of Axin in Drosophila, Daxin. Using double-stranded RNA interference, we generated loss-of-function phenotypes that are similar to overexpression of the Drosophila Wnt gene wingless (wg). Overexpression of Daxin produces phenotypes similar to loss of wg. In addition, we show that Daxin overexpression can modify phenotypes elicited by wg and another Drosophila Wnt gene, DWnt-2. Using immunoprecipitation of endogenous Daxin protein from embryos we show that Daxin interacts with Armadillo and Zeste-white 3. The loss-of-function and overexpression phenotypes show that Daxin, like its mammalian counterpart, acts as a negative regulator of wg/Wnt signaling.

Abstract
The neuroanatomic or neuropathologic basis of Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome (GTS) remains unknown. Recent studies have suggested abnormalities of cerebral asymmetry and basal ganglia volumes. We studied 17 patients with GTS and eight normal controls using volumetric MRI techniques for measuring the caudate nucleus, amygdala, and corpus callosum. One subject with GTS was subsequently excluded because he was left handed. No absolute differences in caudate nucleus volumes between patient and control groups were evident. There was an increase in corpus callosum (CC) cross-sectional area and a loss of the normal asymmetry of the caudate nucleus in the patient group. A loss of the normal correlation between cross-sectional area of the CC and whole brain index (WBI) in the patient group also was found. The amygdala measurements had a poor interrater reliability.

Abstract
Self-assessment is significant for the accurate evaluation of patient' needs. This study examined the frequency and severity of symptoms reported by 39 patients with Parkinson's disease and compared them with symptoms suggested by the literature and by specialists as bothering Parkinson's patients. Four categories of symptoms were examined: (a) motor disability or activity loss, (b) mental change, (c) psychosocial difficulties, and (d) nonspecific symptoms. The findings show that there was correspondence between expert judgements and subjects' reports regarding symptoms such as dyskinesia/tremor as well as walking, freezing gait, and changing position. Symptoms such as dressing self, getting in/out of bed, morning stiffness and deficit in cognitive sequencing, which experts described as characteristic of Parkinson's disease patients, bothered subjects less. In general, patients mental and psychosocial symptoms were higher in their frequencies and perceived severity than problems of performing activities of daily living.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of maternal employment and separation anxiety on maternal interactive behavior and infant attachment. 73 mother-infant pairs participated in a laboratory free-play session when infants were 5 and 10 months of age and in the Strange Situation when the infants were 18 months of age. Maternal feelings about being separated from her infant were assessed by questionnaire at 5 months. Employed mothers returned to work before the infants' fifth month, and nonemployed mothers did not work outside the home through their infants' tenth month. Employed mothers who reported high levels of separation anxiety were more likely to exhibit intrusive behaviors at 10 months. While employment was not directly related to attachment, we found infants of high-anxiety employed mothers to develop anxious-avoidant attachments. The results suggest that maternal separation anxiety and interactive style may be important mediators between employment and later infant outcome.

Abstract
This study investigated infant and caregiving-environment variables associated with continuity and discontinuity in infant negative emotionality between the newborn period and 5 months of age. Comparisons were made between groups of infants who evidenced similar levels of crying as neonates but differed by 5 months of age. For initially high-crying infants, mother personality traits, marital quality, and infant variables measured neonatally discriminated stable from changing infants. Ratings of mother sensitivity and infant responsiveness made at 5 months of age also related to continuity and discontinuity in negative emotionality over the first 5 months.

Abstract
In an effort to establish the sensitivity of the Kendrick Battery (KB) to mortality effects among institutionalized aged, the residualized pre-death KB scores (Digit Copying, Object Learning Subtests), as well as measures of affect (Zung Depression), and organicity (Luria Pathognomic Scale, Orientation Test) were compared in a sample of fifty-three elderly persons (M age = 82.7, SD = 7.76). Forty-two were female, eleven were male. Twenty-two of these individuals had subsequently died during an eighteen-month period following assessment. Six years after testing, thirty-six of these individuals had died. Step-wise discriminant analyses at each occasion yielded functions defined by the KB subtests, measures of organicity and depression, age of institutionalization, sex, and length of institutionalization that differentiated survivors and nonsurvivors. These data suggested that the Kendrick Battery subtests, measures of depression and organicity, in combination with length of institutionalization and age of admittance predict death among the elderly, for the most part, replicating previous research.

Abstract
In this study, we attempted to explore the construct validity of the Kendrick Battery by using an American sample and psychometric tests as indexes of diffuse organicity, depression, and normality. Institutionalized residents (N = 53) were tested twice (6-week interval). When organicity was defined by disorientation and memory deficits, then both the Object Learning test and the Digit Copying test were accurate in differentiating preestablished criterion groups. When organicity was defined more broadly, including sensorimotor function, the Digit Copying test alone was more accurate when depression was defined in terms of irritability, restlessness, and despair. These data suggest that although the Kendrick scales appeared to be sensitive to organicity and depression in this sample, their validity varied with the criteria for each when such were defined psychometrically.
