AM-8145 maps to the second voltage sensor domain on hNa<sub>V</sub>1.7.
No full textPotency of AM-8145 inhibition of wild-type NaV1.7, wild-type NaV1.5, or chimeric NaV1.7/NaV1.5 channels (red illustrates NaV1.7 sequence and gray illustrates NaV1.5 sequence) on the IWQ platform (mean ± SEM). D = “Domain”; S = “Sensor” corresponding to transmembrane segments 1–4; P = “Pore” corresponding to transmembrane segments 5–6. AM-8145 block of wild-type NaV1.7 is similar to chimera DIIS containing the second voltage sensor domain of NaV1.7 embedded in the NaV1.5 backbone.</p
The Moral Self in Eighteenth-Century Poetry: A Study in the Poetics of Gray, Goldsmith, Cowper and Yearsley
No full textThis thesis explores one aspect of the ‘inward turn’ that is a significant feature of English poetry in the later eighteenth century. It claims that a representative group of poets construct an authorial ‘self’ in which the personal pronoun ‘I’ becomes an authoritative guarantor of social and moral judgements. It suggests that this move was a response to Lockeian ideas of personal identity and economic individualism which were subsequently refined and developed by theoreticians such as David Hume and Adam Smith such that the ‘self’ was conceived not merely as the site of the sensorium but also the site of moral judgement.
It identifies Thomas Gray as the initiator of this development, arguing that his earlier poems, and particularly his Elegy, were revolutionary in their attempts to accommodate Locke’s ideas as a means of combating both the fissiparous nature of the literary market place and the hegemonic practices of the aristocratic class. The reception of the Elegy led Gray to believe he had failed, but his construction of the ‘swain’s’ dual identity who both judges and is judged was to resonate in the persona of Goldsmith’s narrator of The Deserted Village. Goldsmith’s essentially conservative outlook meant that this poem was fractured and it was not until Cowper’s The Task that a fully coherent realisation of Gray’s poetics was achieved.
The thesis finally considers Ann Yearsley’s work, arguing that her construction of a ‘self’ as narrator and social judge was fraught with difficulty both because of her position as a female labouring-class poet, and because of the repressive response to the French Revolution. The concluding chapter draws together the implications of the preceding chapters
Letter from Thomas Gray to Mary Antrobus
No full textAutograph letter written by Thomas Gray to Mary Antrobus. Transcription included.Dear Mary
It was I, that desired Bob to let you know, how glad I should be to see you in Town. I now repeat the same thing to you myself, & shall be obliged to your Mamma if she can spare you the beginning of next week, tho’ but for a few days. The letter of Attorney, wch [sic] I send inclosed, is not meant to hinder your journey, but that in case your own inclination does not serve, or your Mamma is not able to spare you, Dolly may be empower’d to act for you, for, as you have already 50£ N: Annuities, I thought you would like rather to buy in there (while they are so low) than into any other of the funds. the expence of this is a trifle, wch I shall be glad to pay myself, if you will come instead of it, & make it useless.
The Receipt is to be sign’d, & witness’d; the two witnesses required to the letter of Attorney should specify their place of abode. you will enclose, & send them both carefully to your Sister; but (as I said before) I should much rather see you in person. let us know by tomorrow nights post. Adieu, I am your friend & Servt.

Dear Sr.
I thank you for the second little letter, for your Cambridge-Anecdotes, & (suffer me to say too) for the trouble you have had on my account. I am going to add to it by sending you my poetical Cargo to distribute. tho’ whatever the Advertisement says, it will not be this fortnight yet. For you must know (what you will like no more, than I do; yet it was not in my power any how to avoid it) Mr W:, who has set up a printing-press in his own house at Twickenham, earnestly desired, that he might print it for Dodsley, & as there is but one hand employ’d, you must think it will take up some time to dispatch 2000 copies. As soon as may be, you will have a parcel sent you. wch you will dispose of, as follows. Mrs Bonfoy, Mr Bonfoy, Dr Long, Gaskarth, & all the Fellows resident, Mr Montagu, & Southwell (if they happen to be there) Master of St Johns, (I know, he is at Rochester, but it suffices to send it to his lodge) Master of Bennet, Mr Hurd, Mr Balguy, Mr Talbot, Mr Nourse, Mr Neville (of Jesus) Mr Bickham, Mr Hadley, Mr Newcome. If you think, I forget any body, pray send it them in my name. what remain upon your hands, you will hide in a corner.
[p. 2] I am sorry to say I know no more of Mason, than you do. It is my own fault, I am afraid, for I have not yet answer’d that letter.
His Prussian Majesty wrote a letter to the K: owning himself in a bad situation, from wch (he said) nothing but a Coup de Maitre could extricate him. We have a secret expedition going forward: all I know is that Ld Ancram, Sr John Mordaunt, & Gen: 1 Conway are to bear a part in it. The Duke has been very ill with his leg; Ranby was sent for, but countermanded; the Mar: 1 d’Etrées having sent him his own Surgeons. I would wish to be like Mr Bonfoy, & think that every thing turns out the best in the world, but it won’t do. I am stupid & low-spirited, but ever

I Think I Am Philip K. Dick
No full textFor years, noted writer Laurence A. Rickels often found himself compared to novelist Philip K. Dickthough in fact Rickels had never read any of the science fiction writers work. When he finally read his first Philip K. Dick novel, while researching for his recent book The Devil Notebooks , it prompted a prolonged immersion in Dicks writing as well as a recognition of Rickelss own long-documented intellectual pursuits. The result of this engagement is I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick , a profound thought experiment that charts the wide relevance of the pulp sci-fi author and paranoid visionary. I Think I Am: Philip K. Dick explores the science fiction authors meditations on psychic reality and psychosis, Christian mysticism, Eastern religion, and modern spiritualism. Covering all of Dicks science fiction, Rickels corrects the lack of scholarly interest in the legendary Californian author and, ultimately, makes a compelling case for the philosophical and psychoanalytic significance of Philip K. Dicks popular and influential science fiction.Intro -- Contents -- Introjection -- Part I -- Endopsychic Allegories -- Schreber Guardian -- Belief System Surveillance -- Part II -- Deeper Problems -- Veil of Tears -- Go West -- Dick Manfred -- Timing -- Glimmung -- Part III -- Spiritualism Analogy -- Imitating the Dead -- Indexical Layer -- Ilse -- Hammers and Things -- Crucifictions -- Over There -- Martyrology -- Can't Live, Can't Live -- Lola -- Umwelt, Mitwelt, and Eigenwelt -- Outer Race -- The German Introject -- Part IV -- Materialism, Idealism, and Cybernetics -- Startling Stories -- A Couple of Years -- Android Empathy -- Homunculus and Robot -- ALL OF YOU ARE DEAD.

The association of findings on brain computed tomography with neurologic outcomes following extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation
No full textBackground: Limited data are available on imaging predictors of neurological outcomes after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). We investigated the association of initial brain computed tomography (CT) findings with neurological outcomes following ECPR.
Methods: Between February 2005 and December 2015, a total of 42 patients who underwent brain CT scans within 48 hours after ECPR were analyzed. Loss of the boundary between gray matter and white matter (LOB) or cortical sulcal effacement (SE), gray-to-white matter ratio (GWR), and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) were measured on initial brain CT. The primary outcome was the Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) scale at discharge.
Conclusions: GWR, ONSD and LOB/SE on initial brain CT scans are associated with neurological prognosis in patients who underwent ECPR. A risk prediction model using a composite of GWR, ONCD, and LOB/SE could provide better information on neurologic outcomes in patients who underwent ECPR
