Abstract
BACKGROUND The study of the distinct structure and function of the human central nervous system, both in healthy and diseased states, is becoming increasingly significant in the field of neuroscience. Typically, cortical and subcortical tissue is discarded during surgeries for tumors and epilepsy. Yet, there is a strong encouragement to utilize this tissue for clinical and basic research in humans. Here, we describe the technical aspects of the microdissection and immediate handling of viable human cortical access tissue for basic and clinical research, highlighting the measures needed to be taken in the operating room to ensure standardized procedures and optimal experimental results. METHODS In multiple rounds of experiments (n = 36), we developed and refined surgical principles for the removal of cortical access tissue. The specimens were immediately immersed in cold carbogenated N-methyl-D-glucamine-based artificial cerebrospinal fluid for electrophysiology and electron microscopy experiments or specialized hibernation medium for organotypic slice cultures. RESULTS The surgical principles of brain tissue microdissection were (1) rapid preparation (<1 min), (2) maintenance of the cortical axis, (3) minimization of mechanical trauma to sample, (4) use of pointed scalpel blade, (5) avoidance of cauterization and blunt preparation, (6) constant irrigation, and (7) retrieval of the sample without the use of forceps or suction. After a single round of introduction to these principles, multiple surgeons adopted the technique for samples with a minimal dimension of 5 mm spanning all cortical layers and subcortical white matter. Small samples (5-7 mm) were ideal for acute slice preparation and electrophysiology. No adverse events from sample resection were observed. CONCLUSION The microdissection technique of human cortical access tissue is safe and easily adoptable into the routine of neurosurgical procedures. The standardized and reliable surgical extraction of human brain tissue lays the foundation for human-to-human translational research on human brain tissue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to analyse less known clinical scenarios associated with idiopathic intracranial hypertension. METHODS The study involved analysis of magnetic resonance imaging signs of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in patients with spontaneous rhinoliquorrhoea (n = 7), in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and surgically treated antero-inferior temporal lobe meningo-encephaloceles (n = 15), and in patients who developed clinical signs of idiopathic intracranial hypertension following the treatment of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (n = 7). RESULTS Three of six patients with spontaneous rhinoliquorrhoea and six of 15 operated patients with temporal lobe epilepsy due to temporal lobe meningo-encephaloceles showed magnetic resonance imaging signs of idiopathic intracranial hypertension and had a body mass index >30 kg/m2. Rebound high pressure headaches and sings of idiopathic intracranial hypertension occurred in seven of 44 surgically treated spontaneous intracranial hypotension patients. CONCLUSIONS Magnetic resonance imaging findings should guide the clinician to consider (idiopathic) intracranial hypertension when patients develop spontaneous rhinoliquorrhoea, temporal lobe epilepsy secondary to temporal lobe meningoencephaloceles or high pressure headaches in spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Whether idiopathic intracranial hypertension must be regarded as a differential diagnosis or as a cause, or whether there are common pathophysiological pathways that lead to signs of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in this wider spectrum of disease is the focus of further study.

Correlation of optic nerve and optic nerve sheath diameter with intracranial pressure in pigs. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0228242.

Abstract
Objective Several studies have shown an association between intracranial pressure and the diameter of the optic nerve sheath measured by transbulbar ultrasonography. To understand the pathophysiology of this phenomenon, we aimed to measure the changes of the optic nerve, optic nerve sheath and perineural space separately with increasing intracranial pressure in a porcine model. Methods An external ventricular drain was placed into the third ventricle through a right paramedian burrhole in eight anesthesized pigs. The diameters of the optic nerve and the optic nerve sheath were measured while the intracranial pressure (ICP) was increased in steps of 10mmHg from baseline up to 60 mmHg. Results The median diameters of the optic nerve (ON) increased from 0.36 cm (baseline– 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.33 cm to 0.45 cm) to 0.68 cm (95% CI 0.57 cm to 0.82 cm) at ICP of 60 mmHg (p<0.0001) and optic nerve sheath (ONS) from 0.88 cm (95% CI 0.79 cm to 0.98 cm) to 1.24 cm (95% CI 1.02 cm to 1.38 cm) (p< 0.002) while the median diameter of the perineural space (PNS) (baseline diameter 95% CI 0.40 cm to 0.59 cm to diameters at ICP 60 95% CI 0.38 cm to 0.62 cm) did not change significantly (p = 0.399). Multiple comparisons allowed differentiation between baseline and values ≥40 mmHg for ON (p = 0.017) and between baseline and values ≥ 50mmHg for ONS (p = 0.006). A linear correlation between ON (R2 = 0.513, p<0.0001) and ONS (R2 = 0.364, p<0.0001) with ICP was found. The median coefficient of variation for intra- and inter-investigator variability was 8% respectively 2.3%. Conclusion Unexpectedly, the increase in ONS diameter with increasing ICP is exclusively related to the increase of the diameter of the ON. Further studies should explore the reasons for this behaviour.

Abstract
Alpha-Synuclein (α-Syn) is expressed in the central nervous system and the nervous system of the gut (enteric nervous system, ENS), and is well known to be the major constituent of Lewy bodies which are the hallmark of Parkinson's disease. Gastrointestinal disorders frequently manifest several years before motor deficits develop in Parkinson's patients. Despite extensive research on pathological rodent models, the physiological role of α-Syn in the normal ENS is unclear hampering analysis of its neuropathology. We compared the ENS in colons of α-Syn-knockout (α-Syn KO) and wild-type mice using immunohistochemistry and calcium-imaging of responses to synaptic input. We found that α-Syn is predominantly expressed in cholinergic varicosities, which contain vesicular acetylcholine transporter. α-Syn KO mice had higher enteric neuron density and a larger proportion of cholinergic neurons, notably those containing calretinin, demonstrating a role for α-Syn in regulating development of these neurons. Moreover, α-Syn deletion enhanced the amplitude of synaptically activated [Ca2+]i transients that are primarily mediated by acetylcholine activating nicotinic receptors suggesting that α-Syn modulates the availability of acetylcholine in enteric nerve terminals.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Under axisymmetric conditions, changes in the thickness of the thin film between a fluid drop and a solid revealed by white light interferometry can provide information about the interaction of the bodies. Thus, in principle one can quantify the force between the surfaces using interferometric information of film thickness profile. This is needed to quantify and analyze drop-solid interactions across complex fluids such as an ionic liquid to independently characterize new surface forces. EXPERIMENTS Interferometric fringes were obtained in experiments on the interaction between a mercury drop and mica across a film of room temperature ionic liquid. The data is analyzed using a novel formula giving the total force acting on the drop. The calculations are compared with two other approaches to estimating forces. Qualitative and quantitative differences are discussed. FINDINGS This is the first report of forces measured between mercury and mica across an ionic liquid. The system is subjected to different applied electric potentials. In each case a long ranged, exponentially decaying repulsive force is found. At small separations, the system becomes unstable and the surfaces jump into contact. The comparison of force calculation methods demonstrates the superiority of the force approach proposed here.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors and establish the proportion of people with psychosis meeting criteria for the metabolic syndrome (MetS). The study also aimed to identify the key lifestyle behaviours associated with increased risk of the MetS and to investigate whether the MetS is associated with illness severity and degree of functional impairment. METHOD Baseline data were collected as part of a large randomized controlled trial (IMPaCT RCT). The study took place within community mental health teams in five Mental Health NHS Trusts in urban and rural locations across England. A total of 450 randomly selected out-patients, aged 18-65 years, with an established psychotic illness were recruited. We ascertained the prevalence rates of cardiometabolic risk factors, illness severity and functional impairment and calculated rates of the MetS, using International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and National Cholesterol Education Program Third Adult Treatment Panel criteria. RESULTS High rates of cardiometabolic risk factors were found. Nearly all women and most men had waist circumference exceeding the IDF threshold for central obesity. Half the sample was obese (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2) and a fifth met the criteria for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Females were more likely to be obese than males (61% v. 42%, p < 0.001). Of the 308 patients with complete laboratory measures, 57% (n = 175) met the IDF criteria for the MetS. CONCLUSIONS In the UK, the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals with psychotic illnesses is much higher than that observed in national general population studies as well as in most international studies of patients with psychosis.

Availability and night-time use of electronic entertainment and communication devices are associated with short sleep duration and obesity among Canadian children. Pediatr Obes 2013; 8:42-51.

Abstract
UNLABELLED What is already known about this subject Short sleep duration is a risk factor for obesity. Television (TV) in the bedroom has been shown to be associated with excess body weight in children. Children increasingly use other electronic entertainment and communication devices (EECDs) such as video games, computers, and smart phones. What this study adds Access to and night-time use of EECDs are associated with shortened sleep duration, excess body weight, poorer diet quality, and lower physical activity levels. Our findings reinforce existing recommendations pertaining to TV and Internet access by the American Academy of Pediatrics and suggest to have these expanded to restricted availability of video games and smart phones in children's bedrooms. BACKGROUND While the prevalence of childhood obesity and access to and use of electronic entertainment and communication devices (EECDs) have increased in the past decades, no earlier study has examined their interrelationship. OBJECTIVE To examine whether night-time access to and use of EECDs are associated with sleep duration, body weights, diet quality, and physical activity of Canadian children. METHODS A representative sample of 3398 grade 5 children in Alberta, Canada, was surveyed. The survey included questions on children's lifestyles and health behaviours, the Harvard Youth/Adolescent Food Frequency questionnaire, a validated questionnaire on physical activity, and measurements of heights and weights. Random effect models were used to assess the associations of night-time access to and use of EECDs with sleep, diet quality, physical activity, and body weights. RESULTS Sixty-four percent of parents reported that their child had access to one or more EECDs in their bedroom. Access to and night-time use of EECDs were associated with shortened sleep duration, excess body weight, poorer diet quality, and lower physical activity levels in a statistically significant manner. CONCLUSIONS Limiting the availability of EECDs in children's bedrooms and discouraging their night-time use may be considered as a strategy to promote sleep and reduce childhood obesity.
