Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- We describe a recently recognized disease entity, limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE). LATE neuropathological change (LATE-NC) is defined by a stereotypical TDP-43 proteinopathy in older adults, with or without coexisting hippocampal sclerosis pathology. LATE-NC is a common TDP-43 proteinopathy, associated with an amnestic dementia syndrome that mimicked Alzheimer's-type dementia in retrospective autopsy studies. LATE is distinguished from frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology based on its epidemiology (LATE generally affects older subjects), and relatively restricted neuroanatomical distribution of TDP-43 proteinopathy. In community-based autopsy cohorts, similar to 25% of brains had sufficient burden of LATE-NC to be associated with discernible cognitive impairment. Many subjects with LATE-NC have comorbid brain pathologies, often including amyloid-beta plaques and tauopathy. Given that the oldest-old' are at greatest risk for LATE-NC, and subjects of advanced age constitute a rapidly growing demographic group in many countries, LATE has an expanding but under-recognized impact on public health. For these reasons, a working group was convened to develop diagnostic criteria for LATE, aiming both to stimulate research and to promote awareness of this pathway to dementia. We report consensus-based recommendations including guidelines for diagnosis and staging of LATE-NC. For routine autopsy workup of LATE-NC, an anatomically-based preliminary staging scheme is proposed with TDP-43 immunohistochemistry on tissue from three brain areas, reflecting a hierarchical pattern of brain involvement: amygdala, hippocampus, and middle frontal gyrus. LATE-NC appears to affect the medial temporal lobe structures preferentially, but other areas also are impacted. Neuroimaging studies demonstrated that subjects with LATE-NC also had atrophy in the medial temporal lobes, frontal cortex, and other brain regions. Genetic studies have thus far indicated five genes with risk alleles for LATE-NC: GRN, TMEM106B, ABCC9, KCNMB2, and APOE. The discovery of these genetic risk variants indicate that LATE shares pathogenetic mechanisms with both frontotemporal lobar degeneration and Alzheimer's disease, but also suggests disease-specific underlying mechanisms. Large gaps remain in our understanding of LATE. For advances in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, there is an urgent need for research focused on LATE, including in vitro and animal models. An obstacle to clinical progress is lack of diagnostic tools, such as biofluid or neuroimaging biomarkers, for ante-mortem detection of LATE. Development of a disease biomarker would augment observational studies seeking to further define the risk factors, natural history, and clinical features of LATE, as well as eventual subject recruitment for targeted therapies in clinical trials.

- BackgroundIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) shows genetic predisposition, however, large-scale, powered gene mapping studies are lacking. We sought to exploit existing genetic (genotype) and epidemiological (questionnaire) data from a series of population-based cohorts for IBS genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and their meta-analysis. MethodsBased on questionnaire data compatible with Rome III Criteria, we identified a total of 1335 IBS cases and 9768 asymptomatic individuals from 5 independent European genotyped cohorts. Individual GWAS were carried out with sex-adjusted logistic regression under an additive model, followed by meta-analysis using the inverse variance method. Functional annotation of significant results was obtained via a computational pipeline exploiting ontology and interaction networks, and tissue-specific and gene set enrichment analyses. Key ResultsSuggestive GWAS signals (P5.0x10(-6)) were detected for 7 genomic regions, harboring 64 gene candidates to affect IBS risk via functional or expression changes. Functional annotation of this gene set convincingly (best FDR-corrected P=3.1x10(-10)) highlighted regulation of ion channel activity as the most plausible pathway affecting IBS risk. Conclusion & InferencesOur results confirm the feasibility of population-based studies for gene-discovery efforts in IBS, identify risk genes and loci to be prioritized in independent follow-ups, and pinpoint ion channels as important players and potential therapeutic targets warranting further investigation.

Collective and noncollective states in (120)Te
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 85:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in (120)Te were populated in the reaction (80)Se((48)Ca, alpha 4n)(120)Te at a beam energy of 207 MeV and gamma-ray coincidences were measured using the Gammasphere spectrometer. The previously known level scheme is extended to higher spin and new interband transitions and side-feeding branches are established. Five highly deformed rotational bands, extending up to almost I = 50, are observed for the first time. The bands are compared with similar structures found recently in neighboring nuclei. The experimental results are interpreted within the framework of the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model. Configuration assignments to several terminating states and to the high-spin bands are discussed.

Observation of high-spin bands with large moments of inertia in Xe 124
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C - Nuclear Physics. - 0556-2813. ; 94:3
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in Xe124 have been populated using the Se80(Ca48,4n) reaction at a beam energy of 207 MeV and high-multiplicity, γ-ray coincidence events were measured using the Gammasphere spectrometer. Six high-spin bands with large moments of inertia, similar to those observed in neighboring nuclei, have been observed. The experimental results are compared with calculations within the framework of the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model. It is suggested that the configurations of the bands involve excitations of protons across the Z=50 shell gap coupled to neutrons within the N=50-82 shell or excited across the N=82 shell closure.

Collective and noncollective excitations in Te-122
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 88:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in Te-122 were populated in the reaction Se-82(Ca-48, alpha 4n) Te-122 at a beam energy of 200 MeV and gamma-ray coincidences weremeasured with the Gammasphere spectrometer. The previously known level scheme was extended to considerably higher spin. Maximally aligned states and several high-energy transitions feeding into some of these levels were observed. In addition, seven collective high-spin bands were discovered for the first time in this nucleus. The experimental results are compared with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model calculations and possible configuration assignments to the new high-spin structures are discussed.

Revised level structure of Te-120
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 90:3
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The level scheme of the nucleus Te-120, populated in the reaction Se-80(Ca-48, alpha 4n), was reinvestigated using gamma-ray coincidence data measured with the Gammasphere spectrometer. Previously, five high-spin rotational bands were discovered in this nucleus. The present reinvestigation revealed that the decay of band b1 is more complex than suggested in the earlier work and that it cannot be uniquely determined. Furthermore, a number of new transitions are added to the level scheme. The implications for the spin assignments and excitation energies of the five bands and for comparisons with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations are discussed.

Absence of paired crossing in the positive parity bands of Cs 124
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C. - 2469-9985. ; 97:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in Cs124 were populated in the Ni64(Ni64,p3n) reaction and the Gammasphere detector array was used to measure γ-ray coincidences. Both positive- and negative-parity bands, including bands with chiral configurations, have been extended to higher spin, where a shape change has been observed. The configurations of the bands before and after the alignment are discussed within the framework of the cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model. The calculations suggest that the nucleus undergoes a shape transition from triaxial to prolate around spin I≃22 of the positive-parity states. The alignment gain of 8â.,, observed in the positive-parity bands, is due to partial alignment of several valence nucleons. This indicates the absence of band crossing due to paired nucleons in the bands.

Highly deformed high-spin band in I-125
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 84:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in I-125 have been investigated using the reaction Se-82(Ca-48, p4n) at a beam energy of 200 MeV and gamma-ray coincidence events were detected using the Gammasphere spectrometer. A deformed rotational band, extending up to I-pi = 95/2(-), was observed for the first time in a heavier odd-A iodine nucleus. The characteristics of the band are very similar to those of the highly deformed bands observed recently in neighboring nuclei and it is essentially identical to one of the previously known bands in Xe-126. The experimental results are compared to cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations and possible configurations for the band are discussed.

Noncollective aligned and antialigned states in I-125
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C (Nuclear Physics). - 0556-2813. ; 82:3
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-spin states in I-125 were populated using the reaction Se-82(Ca-48, p4n) at a beam energy of 200 MeV and gamma-ray coincidence events were acquired with the Gammasphere spectrometer. The level scheme of I-125 was extended considerably. In particular, maximally aligned states involving all eleven particles outside the Sn-114 core were observed. Comparison with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations suggests that three of these states are the final I-max states in terminating bands with all spin vectors aligned along a common axis. In two of these, one spin vector is antialigned and points in the opposite direction. In one of the states two spin vectors are antialigned. This is the first observation of a state with such a structure.

Evolution of collective and noncollective structures in Xe 123
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Physical Review C. - 2469-9985. ; 101:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An experiment involving a heavy-ion-induced fusion-evaporation reaction was carried out where high-spin states of Xe123 were populated in the Se80(Ca48,5n)Xe123 reaction at 207 MeV beam energy. Gamma-ray coincidence events were recorded with the Gammasphere Ge detector array. The previously known level scheme was confirmed and enhanced with the addition of five new band structures and several interband transitions. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky (CNS) calculations were performed and compared with the experimental results in order to assign configurations to the bands.

High-Speed Video Observation of a Dart Leader Producing X-rays
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Journal of Geophysical Research - Space Physics. - : AMER GEOPHYSICAL UNION. - 2169-9380 .- 2169-9402. ; 124:12, s. 10564-10570
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This work presents the first simultaneous X-ray measurement and high-speed video observation of the propagation of a lightning leader producing X-rays. As a result, the three-dimensional leader distance from the X-ray measurement and, for the first time, the conditions of the preexisting channel during the leader propagation were observed. Although four leaders in this seven-stroke flash followed the same path to ground, X-rays were only observed during the leader before the return stroke with the highest peak current. The fact that the other three leaders following the same path to ground did not produce detectable X-rays confirms the hypothesis that leader line charge density is an important factor that determines X-ray production. The fact that X-rays was recorded only when the leader tip was at a certain portion of the lightning channel confirms that the orientation of the leader plays an important role in the detection of X-rays.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The triple perovskites Ba3ZnRu2-xIrxO9 with x = 0, 1, and 2 are insulating compounds in which Ru(Ir) cations form a dimer state. Polycrystalline samples of these materials were studied using neutron powder diffraction (NPD) at 10 and 295 K. No structural transition nor evidence of long range magnetic order was observed within the investigated temperature range. The results from structural refinements of the NPD data and its polyhedral analysis are presented, and discussed as a function of Ru/Ir content.

Superstructure control of first-cycle voltage hysteresis in oxygen-redox cathodes
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Nature. - : NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP. - 0028-0836 .- 1476-4687. ; 577:7791, s. 502-508

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In conventional intercalation cathodes, alkali metal ions can move in and out of a layered material with the charge being compensated for by reversible reduction and oxidation of the transition metal ions. If the cathode material used in a lithium-ion or sodium-ion battery is alkali-rich, this can increase the battery's energy density by storing charge on the oxide and the transition metal ions, rather than on the transition metal alone(1-10). There is a high voltage associated with oxidation of O2- during the first charge, but this is not recovered on discharge, resulting in reduced energy density(11). Displacement of transition metal ions into the alkali metal layers has been proposed to explain the first-cycle voltage loss (hysteresis)(9,12-16). By comparing two closely related intercalation cathodes, Na-0.75[Li0.25Mn0.75]O-2 and Na-0.6[Li0.2Mn0.8]O-2, here we show that the first-cycle voltage hysteresis is determined by the superstructure in the cathode, specifically the local ordering of lithium and transition metal ions in the transition metal layers. The honeycomb superstructure of Na-0.75[Li0.25Mn0.75]O-2, present in almost all oxygen-redox compounds, is lost on charging, driven in part by formation of molecular O-2 inside the solid. The O-2 molecules are cleaved on discharge, reforming O2-, but the manganese ions have migrated within the plane, changing the coordination around O2- and lowering the voltage on discharge. The ribbon superstructure in Na-0.6[Li0.2Mn0.8]O-2 inhibits manganese disorder and hence O-2 formation, suppressing hysteresis and promoting stable electron holes on O2- that are revealed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The results show that voltage hysteresis can be avoided in oxygen-redox cathodes by forming materials with a ribbon superstructure in the transition metal layers that suppresses migration of the transition metal. In oxygen-redox intercalation cathodes, voltage hysteresis can be avoided by forming cathode materials with a 'ribbon' superstructure in the transition metal layers that suppresses transition metal migration.
