Pathological relationships involving iron and myelin may constitute a shared mechanism linking various rare and common brain diseases.

Rare diseases (Austin, Tex.)

Heidari M, Gerami SH, Bassett B, Graham RM, Chua AC, Aryal R, House MJ, Collingwood JF, Bettencourt C, Houlden H, Ryten M, Olynyk JK, Trinder D, Johnstone DM, Milward EA.
PMID: 27500074
Rare Dis. 2016 Jun 22;4(1):e1198458. doi: 10.1080/21675511.2016.1198458. eCollection 2016.

We previously demonstrated elevated brain iron levels in myelinated structures and associated cells in a hemochromatosis Hfe (-/-) xTfr2 (mut) mouse model. This was accompanied by altered expression of a group of myelin-related genes, including a suite of genes...

Abdominal trauma by ostrich.

Annals of medicine and surgery (2012)

Usurelu S, Bettencourt V, Melo G.
PMID: 25685344
Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2015 Jan 23;4(1):41-3. doi: 10.1016/j.amsu.2014.12.004. eCollection 2015 Mar.

INTRODUCTION: Ostriches typically avoid humans in the wild, since they correctly assess humans as potential predators, and, if approached, often run away. However, ostriches may turn aggressive rather than run when threatened, especially when cornered, and may also attack...

Settlement scaling and increasing returns in an ancient society.

Science advances

Ortman SG, Cabaniss AH, Sturm JO, Bettencourt LM.
PMID: 26601129
Sci Adv. 2015 Feb 20;1(1):e1400066. doi: 10.1126/sciadv.1400066. eCollection 2015 Feb.

A key property of modern cities is increasing returns to scale-the finding that many socioeconomic outputs increase more rapidly than their population size. Recent theoretical work proposes that this phenomenon is the result of general network effects typical of...

Insulin Resistance Increases MRI-Estimated Pancreatic Fat in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Normal Controls.

Gastroenterology research and practice

Patel NS, Peterson MR, Lin GY, Feldstein A, Schnabl B, Bettencourt R, Seki E, Sirlin CB, Loomba R.

Gastroenterol Res Pract. 2013;2013:498296. doi: 10.1155/2013/498296. Epub 2013 Nov 17.

Background. Ectopic fat deposition in the pancreas and its relationship with hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance have not been compared between patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and healthy controls. Aim. Using a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...

Fragility and cooperative motion in a glass-forming polymer-nanoparticle composite.

Soft matter

Betancourt BA, Douglas JF, Starr FW.
PMID: 25328534
Soft Matter. 2013 Jan 07;9(1):241-254. doi: 10.1039/C2SM26800K.

Polymer-nanoparticle composites play a vital role in ongoing materials development. The behavior of the glass transition of these materials is important for their processing and applications, and also represents a problem of fundamental physical interest. Changes of the polymer...

Critical dynamics of gauge systems: spontaneous vortex formation in 2D superconductors.

Physical review letters

Stephens GJ, Bettencourt LM, Zurek WH.
PMID: 11955118
Phys Rev Lett. 2002 Apr 01;88(13):137004. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.137004. Epub 2002 Mar 18.

We examine the formation of vortices during the nonequilibrium relaxation of a high-temperature initial state of an Abelian-Higgs system. We equilibrate the scalar and gauge fields using gauge-invariant Langevin equations and relax the system by instantaneously removing thermal fluctuations....

Indirect calibration between clinical observers - application to the New York Heart Association functional classification system.

BMC research notes

Severo M, Gaio R, Lourenço P, Alvelos M, Bettencourt P, Azevedo A.
PMID: 21813014
BMC Res Notes. 2011 Aug 03;4:276. doi: 10.1186/1756-0500-4-276.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies showed an inter-observer agreement for the NYHA classification of approximately 55%. The aim of this study was to calibrate the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification system between observers, increasing its reliability.RESULTS: Among 1136 community-dwellers in...

Diagnostic value of patterns of symptoms and signs of heart failure: application of latent class analysis with concomitant variables in a cross-sectional study.

BMJ open

OBJECTIVE: The diagnosis of heart failure (HF) requires a compatible clinical syndrome and demonstration of cardiac dysfunction by imaging or functional tests. Since individual symptoms and signs are generally unreliable and have limited value for diagnosing HF, the authors...
