    Abstract What takes decades, centuries or millennia to happen with a natural ecosystem, it takes only days, weeks or months with a replicating viral quasispecies in a host, especially when under treatment. Some methods to quantify the evolution of a quasispecies are introduced and discussed, along with simple simulated examples to help in the interpretation and understanding of the results. The proposed methods treat the molecules in a quasispecies as individuals of competing species in an ecosystem, where the haplotypes are the competing species, and the ecosystem is the quasispecies in a host, and the evolution of the system is quantified by monitoring changes in haplotype frequencies. The correlation between the proposed indices is also discussed, and the R code used to generate the simulations, the data and the plots is provided. The virtues of the proposed indices are finally shown on a clinical case.

    Abstract Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver whose etiology is very heterogeneous. The most common cause of hepatitis is viral infections from hepatotropic viruses, including hepatitis A, B, C, D and E. However, other factors such as infections from other agents, metabolic disorders, or autoimmune reactions can also contribute to hepatitis, albeit to a lesser extent. On April 5, 2022, the United Kingdom Health Security Agency alerted the World Health Organization (WHO) on the increased incidence of severe acute hepatitis of unknown causes (not A-E) in previously healthy young children, with symptoms of liver failure that in some cases required liver transplantation. By July 2022, 1,296 cases were reported in 37 countries. Acute hepatitis of unknown causes is not an exceptional phenomenon: in fact, it represents more than 30% of cases of acute hepatitis in children, however in the present instance the large proportion of severe cases was surprising and alarming (6% of liver transplants and almost 3% mortality). Multiple hypotheses have been proposed to explain the etiology of such higher proportion of acute hepatitis, including their co-occurrence in the context of COVID-19 pandemic. This is a review of the history of a clinical threat that has put in check a world health care system highly sensitized by the current COVID-19 pandemics, and that it looks like has ended with the arguments that the severe acute pediatric hepatitis is caused by Adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2) infection associated with a coinfection with a helper virus (human Adenovirus HAdV or human herpesvirus 6) in susceptible children carrying HLA-class II antigen HLA-DRB1*04:01.

  8. Article: Handling Sign Language Data: The Impact of Modality.

    Abstract Natural languages come in two different modalities. The impact of modality on the grammatical structure and linguistic theory has been discussed at great length in the last 20 years. By contrast, the impact of modality on linguistic data elicitation and collection, corpus studies, and experimental (psycholinguistic) studies is still underinvestigated. In this article, we address specific challenges that arise in judgment data elicitation and experimental studies of sign languages. These challenges are related to the socio-linguistic status of the Deaf community and the larger variability across signers within the same community, to the social status of sign languages, to properties of the visual-gestural modality and its interface with gesture, to methodological aspects of handling sign language data, and to specific linguistic features of sign languages. While some of these challenges also pertain to (some varieties of) spoken languages, other challenges are more modality-specific. The special combination of the challenges discussed in this article seems to be a specific facet empirical research on sign languages is faced with. In addition, we discuss the complementarity of theoretical approaches and experimental studies and show how the interaction of both approaches contributes to a better understanding of sign languages in particular and linguistic structures in general.

    Abstract Who is a native signer? Since around 95% of deaf infants are born into a hearing family, deaf signers are exposed to a sign language at various moments of their life, and not only from birth. Moreover, the linguistic input they are exposed to is not always a fully fledged natural sign language. In this situation, is the notion of native signer as someone exposed to language from birth of any use? We review the results of the first large-scale cross-linguistic investigation on the effects of age of exposure to sign language. This research involved about 45 Deaf adult signers in each of three sign languages (Catalan Sign Language, French Sign Language, and Italian Sign Language). Across the three languages, participants were divided into three groups - those exposed from birth, those between 1 and 5 years of age, and those exposed between 6 and 15 years of age - and received a battery of tests designed for each language targeting various aspects of morphosyntactic competence. In particular, the tests focused on both those morphosyntactic phenomena that are known from the spoken language literature to be good detectors of language impairment or delay (i.e.,
