Case report: Coexistence of Labbe vein thrombosis and autoimmune encephalitis with two different antibodies
Introduction Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is one of the most commonly diagnosed autoimmune encephalitis among children. Children usually present symptoms including acute behavioral change, seizures, language dysfunction, and prominent dyskinesias after prodromal headache, fever, or a viral-like process (1). Brain MRI can be normal or nonspecific changes in cortical or subcortical regions (2). An ovarian teratoma might be detected in older girl patients (1).
The protesters are not the problem
In his article in The AJN on May 12, Eyal Reuveni set out to discredit the mass protests against the Israeli government’s judicial overhaul plan. He accused the protesters of inventing a bogus threat to democracy in a campaign to defend their interests as a privileged class “mostly of the top decile in the Israeli secular sector”. How he knows what is in the minds, and bank accounts, of hundreds of thousands of people is not clear.
Anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody monitoring in vasculitis patients to predict relapse

The truth about reasonableness
Front > Comment > David Gillis US commentators are welcome to contribute to Israel's judicial reform debate, but they should be wary about their sources. Someone must have been telling lies about Israel’s judicial system. In an editorial dated January 20 supporting current moves to curb the power of the Supreme Court, "The Wall Street Journal" states: "Israel’s Supreme Court… strikes down laws that it finds merely ‘unreasonable’"’.

Evaluation of a Targeted Drug‐Eluting Intravascular Nanotherapy to Prevent Neointimal Hyperplasia in an Atherosclerotic Rat Model
Abstract Herein the hypothesis that nitric oxide–bearing collagen‐targeted nanofibers will target vascular injury and inhibit neointimal hyperplasia in an atherosclerotic rat model is tested. Western blot confirms the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) knockout (‐/‐) status. Serum cholesterol increases threefold in Sprague Dawley (SD) ApoE‐/‐ versus wt SD rats (291.7 ± 22.3 vs 105.0 ± 3.6 mg dL−1, p < 0.05). Oxidative stress markers are elevated in SD ApoE‐/‐ vs wt SD strains (p = 0.002).
Coating Small-Diameter ePTFE Vascular Grafts with Tunable Poly(diol-co-citrate-co-ascorbate) Elastomers to Reduce Neointimal Hyperplasia
Coating Small-Diameter ePTFE Vascular Grafts with Tunable Poly(diol-co-citrate-co-ascorbate) Elastomers to Reduce Neointimal Hyperplasia Lack of long-term patency has hindered the clinical use of small-diameter prosthetic vascular grafts with the majority of these failures due to the development of neointimal hyperplasia.

Content Isn’t King, Content Is a Product
The content as king metaphor has been with us in the Web world for decades, at least since Bill Gates mentioned it in his landmark content article from 1996. Old guard media leader Sumner Redstone may have even coined the phrase prior to Gates’ article. No matter who said it first, the metaphor’s always been problematic. After all, no one has to obey your content or even pay attention to it. If content is king, then it’s like the king on a chessboard: important but ultimately not very powerful.
Fire Fighting in Canada
In the June 2017 edition of Fire Fighting in Canada, Ruth Lamb and I (David Gillis) wrote an article called “Building Resilience: Core principles to overcoming PTSD”. We wrote about an incident where my mind-body reaction to a traumatic event had changed. It seemed as if I had processed that event differently. I let the trauma enter and pass through me rather than trying to avoid it or let it get stuck inside like many others, adding to the stack of my unprocessed previous traumatic events.
Great Digital Products Don't Happen By Accident.
When I was a kid in the 80's, personal computers were just coming into the world. They were these new, strange, magical things. But they were also crude enough that you could sort of figure out how they worked just by hacking around. As a result, the idea of personal computing felt like something we could define to be anything we wanted. I remember spending hours making stuff in Hypercard on my dad's SE/3o, and having this pervading sense of creative optimism. The future was full of possibility.
