- BACKGROUND: The temporal evolution of white matter (WM) changes on MR examinations in hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids (HDLS) is largely unknown. Our purpose was to investigate the evolution of these WM changes with diffusion weighted/tensor imaging (DWI/DTI) and MR Spectroscopy (MRS). METHODS: A newly diagnosed patient with HDLS from the original Swedish family was followed prospectively with 5 MRI as well as DWI/DTI and MRS examinations during 16 months. RESULTS: The DTI eigenvalues demonstrated changes that suggested early myelin and axonal disturbances in the normal appearing WM (NAWM). DWI/DTI showed a rim of decreased diffusion progressively expanding through the WM from the initial frontal periventricular zones, and indicated complete destruction of axons and myelin in the area behind the front. MRS findings were suggestive of axonal destruction in the NAWM. CONCLUSION: We describe HDLS changes in three temporal stages of development corresponding to lesions outside, in the vicinity of, and behind a characteristic rim centrifugally progressing from the ventricular horns. The axonal disturbances indicated by MRS changes in the NAWM support a primary axonal degeneration, as proposed in the original HDLS report, rather than axonal degeneration secondary to demyelination. These findings could help in differential diagnosis of HDLS.

- This paper documents the seventeenth data release (DR17) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys; the fifth and final release from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). DR17 contains the complete release of the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, which reached its goal of surveying over 10,000 nearby galaxies. The complete release of the MaNGA Stellar Library accompanies this data, providing observations of almost 30,000 stars through the MaNGA instrument during bright time. DR17 also contains the complete release of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 survey that publicly releases infrared spectra of over 650,000 stars. The main sample from the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS), as well as the subsurvey Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey data were fully released in DR16. New single-fiber optical spectroscopy released in DR17 is from the SPectroscipic IDentification of ERosita Survey subsurvey and the eBOSS-RM program. Along with the primary data sets, DR17 includes 25 new or updated value-added catalogs. This paper concludes the release of SDSS-IV survey data. SDSS continues into its fifth phase with observations already underway for the Milky Way Mapper, Local Volume Mapper, and Black Hole Mapper surveys.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Two new polydentate ligands, 1-(6-hydroxymethyl-2-pyridyl)-3-(2-pyridyl)-propane-1,3-dione (6) and 1,3-bis(6-hydroxymethyl-2-pyridyl)-propane-1, 3-dione (8), have been synthesized starting from 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid by conventional esterification, reduction, and condensation reactions. They were further converted to two new polydentate ligands, 3-(6-hydroxymethyl-2-pyridyl)-5-(2-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazole (7) and 3,5-bis(6-hydroxymethyl-2-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazole (9), by reaction with hydrazine hydrate. These four compounds were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1 NMR), electrospray ionization-mass spectrum (ESI-MS), infrared spectrum (IR), and elemental analyses. The structure of 9 was also determined by X-ray diffraction.
