This report also details the technical advancements to image the vortex veins, such as ultra-widefield indocyanine green angiography, which are critical to elucidate the importance of the vortices in various retino-choroidal disorders. Future applications of these advanced imaging systems to better understand the role of the vortex veins in health and disease are also discussed.Keywords: choroid, optical coherence tomography angiography, pachychoroid disease, ultra-widefield imaging, vortex vein

Medicaid, Managed Care, and Kids. 12th Annual Herbert Lourie Memorial Lecture on Health Policy
No full textThis policy brief talks about what managed care for Medicaid is, how it influences kids, and how it relates to the State Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It focuses on what we have learned over the last 20 years through research about cost, use, and quality. It also discusses some of the expectations we had for children covered by Medicaid managed care. Finally, it talks abaout the future of Medicaid managed care and the implications for CHIP.

Peptide in Incomplete Freund Adjuvant
No full textExperimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in the neotropical primate common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a relevant autoimmune animal model of multiple sclerosis. T cells specific for peptide 34 to 56 of myelin/oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG(34-56)) have a central pathogenic role in this model. The aim of this study was to assess the requirement for innate immune stimulation for activation of this core pathogenic autoimmune mechanism. Marmoset monkeys were sensitized against synthetic MOG(34-56) peptide alone or in combination with the nonencephalitogenic peptide MOG(74-96) formulated in incomplete Freund adjuvant, which lacks microbial components. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis development was recorded by monitoring neurological signs, brain magnetic resonance imaging, and longitudinal profiling of cellular and humoral immune parameters. All monkeys developed autoimmune inflammatory/demyelinating central nervous system disease characterized by massive brain and spinal cord demyelinating white matter lesions with activated macrophages and CD3(+) T cells. Immune profiling ex vivo demonstrated the activation of mainly CD3(+)CD4(+)/8(+)CD56(+) T cells against MOG(34-56). Upon ex vivo stimulation, these T cells produced more interleukin 17A compared with TH1 cytokines (e. g. interferon-gamma) and displayed peptide-specific cytolytic activity. These results indicate that the full spectrum of marmoset experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis can be induced by sensitization against a single MOG peptide in incomplete Freund adjuvant lacking microbial compounds for innate immune activation and by eliciting antigen-specific T-cell cytolytic activity

INFRARED-RADIOFREQUENCY TWO-PHOTON LAMB DIP SPECTROSCOPY OF AND
No full text S.M. Freund and T. Oka, Appl. Phys. Lett. 21, 60 (1972).Author Institution: Division of Physics, National Research Council of CanadaThe two-photon Lamb dip technique previously applied to ammonia using infrared and microwave is now extended to the radio-frequency region. If a rotational level of a symmetric top molecule with has double parity, a radiofrequency photon can be ``added” directly to an infrared laser photon using the non-linearlity of the molecular transition process. The two-photon Lamb dips observed are listed below. [FIGURE] The observation gives the difference between the laser lines and molecular absorptions with an accuracy of about 0.5 MHz. Precision molecular constants which supplement recent laser-Stark spectroscopy on are obtained. M. R\”omheld was the holder of a German Academic Exchange Service Fellowship

Freund-schaft: Capturing Aura in an Unframed Literary Exchange
No full textThis dissertation charts an intellectual history of collaborations centered on the beginning of socio-critical discourse on photography. I study the critically misread oeuvre of photographer and sociologist Gisèle Freund to reconfigure a transatlantic map of concrete personal, literary, and critical connections during the 1930s and ’40s. In examining Freund’s oeuvre, I suggest a crucial intervention on the notion of aura — Walter Benjamin’s trademark for understanding the dialectics of the original and its reproduction. I advance a reading in support of aura that challenges the canonical “The Work of Art in the Age of Technical Reproducibility” (1940) of Benjamin. The continuous coexistence of the terms aura, market, and photography is present in Freund – author of iconic photo-portraits of writers such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, André Malraux, Jorge Luis Borges or Benjamin. It contests the reduction of the original’s aura and its reproduction to mutually exclusive terms. My counter-reading in fact recovers the prior and wider aura integral to Benjamin’s “Little History of Photography” (1931). It is this cardinal yet neglected piece that inaugurated together with Freund’s La Photographie en France au dix-neuvième siècle (1936) the critical discourse on photography. Walter Benjamin’s presence is dynamically ingrained in Freund’s oeuvre. In addition to their friendship, two additional friends inform Freund’s career. Freund’s mentors were the leading cultural agents in Paris and Buenos Aires: Adrienne Monnier, the legendary French publisher of Joyce’s Ulysses, and Victoria Ocampo, the founding director of Sur, one of the key literary journals in Latin America. The network of cooperative interactions here deployed is conjugated under the critical metaphor Freund-schaft. Coined on Freund’s name, the term draws equally on the meaning of friendship and the creative making contained in the suffix –schaft (derived from the German schaffen, “to make”, “to create”, “to accomplish”). The framework hinges on the tension between history and theory. Freund-schaft brings to light omissions, conjunctions, and the debates that make up the larger structure of feelings, and makes particulars inextricable from a life-woven net
