    Abstract In previous works it has been shown that the Debye-Waller (DW) exponent for Helium atom specular reflection from a conducting surface, when measured as a function of temperature in the linear high-temperature regime, allows for the determination of the surface electron-phonon coupling. However, there exist a number of experimental measurements that exhibit non-linearities in the DW exponent as a function of the surface temperature. Such non-linearities have been suggested as due to vibrational anharmonicity or a temperature dependence of the surface carrier concentration. In this work, it is suggested, on the basis of a few recent experimental data, that the deviations from linearity of the DW exponent temperature-dependence, as observed for conducting surfaces or supported metal overlayers with the present high-resolution He-atom scattering, permit to single out the specific role of high-energy phonons in the surface electron-phonon mass-enhancement factor.

    Abstract Progressive brain diseases create a huge social and economic burden on modern societies as a major cause of disability and death. Incidence of brain diseases has a significantly increasing trend and merits new therapeutic strategies. At the base of many progressive brain malfunctions is a process of unresolved, chronic inflammation. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor, MIF, is an inflammatory mediator that recently gained interest of neuro-researchers due to its varied effects on the CNS such as participation of nervous system development, neuroendocrine functions, and modulation of neuroinflammation. MIF appears to be a candidate as a new biomarker and target of novel therapeutics against numerous neurologic diseases ranging from cancer, autoimmune diseases, vascular diseases, neurodegenerative pathology to psychiatric disorders. In this review, we will focus on MIF's crucial role in neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's disease (AD) and glioblastoma (GBM).

    Abstract Atom scattering is becoming recognized as a sensitive probe of the electron-phonon interaction parameter $\lambda$ at metal and metal-overlayer surfaces. Here, the theory is developed linking $\lambda$ to the thermal attenuation of atom scattering spectra (in particular, the Debye-Waller factor), to conducting materials of different dimensions, from quasi-one dimensional systems such as W(110):H(1$\times$1) and Bi(114), to quasi-two dimensional layered chalcogenides and high-dimensional surfaces such as quasicrystalline 2ML-Ba(0001)/Cu(001) and d-AlNiCo(00001). Values of $\lambda$ obtained using He atoms compare favorably with known values for the bulk materials. The corresponding analysis indicates in addition the number of layers contributing to the electron-phonon interaction that is measured in an atom surface collision.

    Abstract Recent theory has demonstrated that the value of the electron-phonon coupling strength $\lambda$ can be extracted directly from the thermal attenuation (Debye-Waller factor) of Helium atom scattering reflectivity. This theory is here extended to multivalley semimetal systems and applied to the case of graphene on different metal substrates and graphite. It is shown that $\lambda$ rapidly increases for decreasing graphene-substrate binding strength. Two different calculational models are considered which produce qualitatively similar results for the dependence of $\lambda$ on binding strength. These models predict, respectively, values of $\lambda_{HAS} = 0.89$ and 0.32 for a hypothetical flat free-standing single-layer graphene with cyclic boundary conditions. The method is suitable for analysis and characterization of not only the graphene overlayers considered here, but also other layered systems such as twisted graphene bilayers.

    Abstract While parallel segments in the Fermi level contours, often found at the surfaces of topological insulators (TIs), would imply "strong" nesting conditions, the existence of charge-density waves (CDWs)-periodic modulations of the electron density-has not been verified up to now. Here, we report the observation of a CDW at the surface of the TI Bi2Te2Se(111), below ≈350K, by helium-atom scattering and, thus, experimental evidence for a CDW involving Dirac topological electrons. Deviations of the order parameter observed below 180K, and a low-temperature break of time reversal symmetry, suggest the onset of a spin-density wave with the same period as the CDW in the presence of a prominent electron-phonon interaction, originating from Rashba spin-orbit coupling.

    Abstract Background and aims: We found a higher incidence of myocarditis in young males who had received at least two Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccinations. The human leukocyte antigens (HLA) are known to play an important role in infectious and autoinflammatory diseases. We hypothesized that certain HLA alleles might be associated with vaccination-induced myocarditis.
    Methods: HLA typing was performed using next-generation sequencing technology with the Illumina Iseq100 platform. HLA class I and II loci were genotyped in 29 patients with post-vaccination myocarditis and compared with HLA data from 300 healthy controls.
    Results: We demonstrate that the DRB1*14:01, DRB1*15:03 alleles and the motifs in HLA-A - Leu62 and Gln63, which are part of binding pocket B and HLA-DR Tyr47, His60, Arg70 and Glu74, which are part of binding pockets P4, P7 and P9, were significantly associated with disease susceptibility.
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that immunogenetic fingerprints in HLA peptide-binding grooves may affect the presentation of peptides derived from the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccination to T cells and induce an inflammatory process that results in myocarditis.

    Abstract The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of our present knowledge about the feline tecto-thalamo-basal ganglia cortical sensory pathway. We reviewed morphological and electrophysiological studies of the cortical areas, located in ventral bank of the anterior ectosylvian sulcus as well as the region of the insular cortex, the suprageniculate nucleus of the thalamus, caudate nucleus, and the substantia nigra. Microelectrode studies revealed common receptive field properties in all these structures. The receptive fields were extremely large and multisensory, with pronounced sensitivity to motion of visual stimuli. They often demonstrated directional and velocity selectivity. Preference for small visual stimuli was also a frequent finding. However, orientation sensitivity was absent. It became obvious that the structures of the investigated sensory loop exhibit a unique kind of information processing, not found anywhere else in the feline visual system.
