Case Report: Early-onset or recalcitrant cytopenias as presenting manifestations of activated PI3Kδ syndrome by Allison S. Remiker, Allison S. Remiker, Joao Pedro Matias Lopes, Rohith Jesudas, Alexandra Superdock, Nami Park, Irina Pateva, Irina Pateva

“…BackgroundPatients with recurrent, chronic, or refractory cytopenias represent a challenging subgroup that may harbor an underlying diagnosis, such as an inborn error of immunity (IEI). Patients with IEIs such as activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome (APDS), frequently have hematologic manifestations, but these are not often reported as presenting symptoms. …”

Effects of pelvic obliquity and limb position on radiographic leg length discrepancy measurement: a Sawbones model by Mohammed Nazmy Hamad, Isaac Livshetz, Anshum Sood, Michael Patetta, Mark H. Gonzalez, Farid A. Amirouche

“…At 15° of PO, half of tested variations in femoral position resulted in LLD ME > 1‐cm, while 22% of cases produced errors > 1.5‐cm. These clinically significant errors occurred at all tested variations of right‐femur abduction, with the left‐femur in either neutral position, abduction, or adduction. …”

Studying the influence of correction codes on coherent reception of M-PSK signals in the presence of noise and harmonic interference by V. D. Nguyen

“…This was done without using correction codes and with Hamming code (7.4) and (15.11) and convolutional encoding with Viterbi decoding algorithm (7,5).Conclusions. It is shown that the application of the correction codes effectively corrects errors in the presence of noise and harmonic interference with lower intensity. …”

Typology of “Displased criticism” in scientific pedagogical dialogues as a methodological phenomenon by A. V. Korzhuev, N. V. Golovina, N. A. Kontarov, Yu. B. Ikrennikova

“…The results of the study are a typology of fragments of “displaced criticism”, including: a) uncritical isolation of fragments of the reviewed text (or oral dialogue) – regardless of how they were presented by the criticised author himself/herself; b) attribution to the author of incorrect conclusions that he/she did not put forward; c) criticism of illusory consequences from the statements of the author of the text or the participant in the dialogue; d) criticism that clearly demonstrates the substantive ignorance of the participant in the dialogue; e) criticism with inextricably linked elements, which are artificially isolated and there is a distorted form of connection between the elements; f) criticism that deliberately focuses the reader’s attention on minor errors in the text or fragment of the dialogue and misses significant errors. …”
