A classical type of congenital myopathy is called central core disease. This condition is often confused with muscular dystrophy. Central core disease can be associated with comorbidities which affect pregnancy and its management. In this case series, we describe two cases, who are siblings affected by the same condition but at varied levels and their management during pregnancy. We also would like to illustrate a management plan for congenital myopathy during pregnancy, for a good maternal and fetal outcome.展开更多

However, the enrichment mechanism of REY remains unclear. To understand the geochemical characteristics and factors controlling REY enrichment in zeolite clay in the deep sea, we conducted mineral identification by XRD, major and trace element measurements by XRF and REY analyses by ICP-MS on a 1.4-m-long sediment core(GC02) located in the Central Indian Oceanic Basin(CIOB). The main findings include:(1) the core sediments in GC02 possess elevated REY contents and exhibited a strong negative Ce anomaly, an apparent MREE bulge and positive Y anomaly. These were comparable with typical REY-rich clays in the Pacific Ocean, indicating the similar REY enrichment mechanism and the presence of REY-rich clays in the CIOB;(2) in comparison with the dataset from the Wharton Basin and DSDP site 213, the higher content of REY and stronger PAAS(Post Archean Australian Shale) normalization patterns in the GC02 sediments were likely caused by the weaker impact of terrigenous materials of GC02. The CIOB was suggested to be a promising place hosting REY rich pelagic sediments.展开更多

We can understand the centralization of the network clearly by researching the evolvement trend of the Internet macroscopic topology. The massive data we use in this paper is from CAIDA (The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis) Skitter project. And the time span of the data is from July, 2001 to January, 2008. This paper introduces the background of the AS-level topology at first, then carries out the evolvement of degree, core and layer. It is believed that the influence of the top-degree nodes on the other nodes decreases and the centralization of network is going to fall off with the decrease of the core. And the nucleus status of network declines.展开更多
