    Abstract Searches for signals at low signal-to-noise ratios frequently involve the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). For high-throughput searches, we here consider FFT on the homogeneous mesh of Processing Elements (PEs) of a wafer-scale engine (WSE). To minimize memory overhead in the inherently non-local FFT algorithm, we introduce a new synchronous slide operation ({\em Slide}) exploiting the fast interconnect between adjacent PEs. Feasibility of compute-limited performance is demonstrated in linear scaling of Slide execution times with varying array size in preliminary benchmarks on the CS-2 WSE. The proposed implementation appears opportune to accelerate and open the full discovery potential of FFT-based signal processing in multi-messenger astronomy.

    Abstract Behavioral neuroscience faces two conflicting demands: long-duration recordings from large neural populations and unimpeded animal behavior. To meet this challenge, we developed ONIX, an open-source data acquisition system with high data throughput (2GB/sec) and low closed-loop latencies (<1ms) that uses a novel 0.3 mm thin tether to minimize behavioral impact. Head position and rotation are tracked in 3D and used to drive active commutation without torque measurements. ONIX can acquire from combinations of passive electrodes, Neuropixels probes, head-mounted microscopes, cameras, 3D-trackers, and other data sources. We used ONIX to perform uninterrupted, long (~7 hours) neural recordings in mice as they traversed complex 3-dimensional terrain. ONIX allowed exploration with similar mobility as non-implanted animals, in contrast to conventional tethered systems which restricted movement. By combining long recordings with full mobility, our technology will enable new progress on questions that require high-quality neural recordings during ethologically grounded behaviors.

    Abstract Introduction: We came across 3 cases of Balo's concentric sclerosis (BCS). The first of these patients presented to an outside hospital and was transferred to our institution due to complications resulting from a biopsy. The other 2 patients, despite having a characteristic imaging appearance and despite insistence on our part on the diagnosis of BCS, underwent a surgical procedure, which could have been prevented. This led us to review the available literature on BCS.
    Material and methods: A total of 68 patients diagnosed with BCS between 1995 and 2015 were studied and the data collected for the clinical presentation and course, imaging, spinal fluid analysis, treatment, and clinical and imaging outcome.
    Conclusions: A 25% surgery rate (biopsy or resection) was found in the study. We concluded that this relatively high surgery rate in this auntminnie nonsurgical disease is multifactorial; and includes factors like nonfamiliarity with the disease, anxiety on the part of patients and physicians, due to a sometimes rapidly deteriorating clinical picture; and resemblance of the disease with other entities such as tumor and infection. However, characteristic imaging appearance combined with acute or subacute presentation and dramatic improvement in clinical status after high-dose steroid chemotherapy; are highly suggestive of the disease, and can prevent unnecessary surgery.

    Abstract Background & aims: Whether preoperative treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis) increases the risk of postoperative infectious complications remains controversial. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether preoperative exposure to TNFis is an independent risk factor for postoperative infectious complications within 30 days of surgery.
    Methods: We conducted a multicenter prospective observational study of patients with IBD undergoing intra-abdominal surgery across 17 sites from the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation Clinical Research Alliance. Infectious complications were categorized as surgical site infections (SSIs) or non-SSIs. Current TNFi exposure was defined as use within 12 weeks of surgery, and serum was collected for drug-level analyses. Multivariable models for occurrence of the primary outcome, any infection, or SSI were adjusted by predefined covariates (age, sex, preoperative steroid use, and disease type), baseline variables significantly associated (P < .05) with any infection or SSI separately, and TNFi exposure status. Exploratory models used TNFi exposure based on serum drug concentration.
    Results: A total of 947 patients were enrolled from September 2014 through June 2017. Current TNFi exposure was reported by 382 patients. Any infection (18.1% vs 20.2%, P = .469) and SSI (12.0% vs 12.6%, P = .889) rates were similar in patients currently exposed to TNFis and those unexposed. In multivariable analysis, current TNFi exposure was not associated with any infection (odds ratio, 1.050; 95% confidence interval, 0.716-1.535) or SSI (odds ratio, 1.249; 95% confidence interval, 0.793-1.960). Detectable TNFi drug concentration was not associated with any infection or SSI.
    Conclusions: Preoperative TNFi exposure was not associated with postoperative infectious complications in a large prospective multicenter cohort.

    Abstract Aerosol radiative forcing uncertainty affects estimates of climate sensitivity and limits model skill at making climate projections. Efforts to improve the representations of physical processes in climate models, including extensive comparisons with observations, have not significantly constrained the range of possible aerosol forcing values. A far stronger constraint, in particular for the lower (most-negative) bound, can be achieved using global mean energy-balance arguments based on observed changes in historical temperature. Here, we show that structural deficiencies in a climate model, revealed as inconsistencies among observationally constrained cloud properties in the model, limit the effectiveness of observational constraint of the uncertain physical processes. We sample uncertainty in 37 model parameters related to aerosols, clouds and radiation in a perturbed parameter ensemble of the UK Earth System Model and evaluate 1 million model variants (different parameter settings from Gaussian Process emulators) against satellite-derived observations over several cloudy regions. We show that it is possible to reduce the parametric uncertainty in global mean aerosol forcing by more than 50 %, constraining it to a range in close agreement with energy-balance constraints (around −1.3 to −0.1 W m −2 ). However, our analysis of a very large set of model variants exposes model internal inconsistencies that would not be apparent in a small set of model simulations. Incorporating observations associated with these inconsistencies weakens the forcing constraint because they require a wider range of parameter values to accommodate conflicting information. Our estimated aerosol forcing range is the maximum feasible constraint using our structurally imperfect model and the chosen observations. Structural model developments targeted at the identified inconsistencies would enable a larger set of observations to be used for constraint, which would then narrow the uncertainty further. Such an approach provides a rigorous ...

    Abstract The pivotal role of cranial nerves in a wholesome life experience cannot be overemphasized. Research has opened new avenues to understand cranial nerve function. Classical concept of strict bilateral cortical control of cranial nerves has given way to concepts of hemispheric dominance and hemispheric lateralization. An astute Neuroradiologist should keep abreast of these concepts and help patients and referring physicians by applying this knowledge in reading images. This chapter provides an overview of cranial nerve function and latest concepts pertaining to their cortical and subcortical control.
