1. Heterogeneous contributions of change in population distribution of body mass index to change in obesity and underweight 

   Iurilli M.L.C.; Zhou B.; Bennett J.E.; et al. (2021)

   eLife

   From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies with 187 million participants. ...

2. Structure-Function Relationship of Retinal Ganglion Cells in Multiple Sclerosis 

   Al-Nosairy K.O.; Horbrügger M.; Schippling S.; et al. (2021)

   International Journal of Molecular Sciences

   The retinal ganglion cells (RGC) may be considered an easily accessible pathophysiological site of degenerative processes in neurological diseases, such as the RGC damage detectable in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with (HON) and without a history of optic neuritis (NON). We aimed to assess and interrelate RGC functional and structural damage in different retinal layers and retinal sites. We included 12 NON patients, 11 HON patients ...

3. Field angle dependent vortex lattice phase diagram in MgB2 

   Leishman A.W.D.; Sokolova A.; Bleuel M.; et al. (2021)

   Physical Review B

   Using small-angle neutron scattering we have studied the superconducting vortex lattice (VL) phase diagram in MgB2 as the applied magnetic field is rotated away from the c axis and towards the basal plane. The field rotation gradually suppresses the intermediate VL phase which exists between end states aligned with two high-symmetry directions in the hexagonal basal plane for H∥c. Above a critical angle, the intermediate state disappears, ...

4. How wide is the window opened by high-resolution relaxometry on the internal dynamics of proteins in solution? 

   Smith A.A.; Bolik-Coulon N.; Ernst M.; et al. (2021)

   Journal of Biomolecular NMR

   The dynamics of molecules in solution is usually quantified by the determination of timescale-specific amplitudes of motions. High-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry experiments—where the sample is transferred to low fields for longitudinal (T ) relaxation, and back to high field for detection with residue-specific resolution—seeks to increase the ability to distinguish the contributions from motion on timescales ...

5. Automatic Detection of Microsleep Episodes With Deep Learning 

   Malafeev A.; Hertig-Godeschalk A.; Schreier D.R.; et al. (2021)

   Frontiers in Neuroscience

   Brief fragments of sleep shorter than 15 s are defined as microsleep episodes (MSEs), often subjectively perceived as sleepiness. Their main characteristic is a slowing in frequency in the electroencephalogram (EEG), similar to stage N1 sleep according to standard criteria. The maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT) is often used in a clinical setting to assess vigilance. Scoring of the MWT in most sleep-wake centers is limited to classical ...
