The ectopic ACTH syndrome. by Alexandraki, K, Grossman, AB

“…Nearly any neuroendocrine or non-endocrine tumours may be associated with EAS, but the more prevalent tumours are bronchial carcinoids, small cell lung carcinomas, pancreatic carcinoids, thymic carcinoids, medullary carcinomas of the thyroid, and phaeochromocytomas. Occult tumours are highly represented in all the series (12-38%) and constitute the more challenging cases of EAS, requiring long term follow-up. …”

The potential of global positioning system in weather and environmental studies by Yahya, Mohd. Hafiz, Kamaruddin, Md. Nor, Lim, Samsung, Rizos, Chris

“…As GPS technology is still relatively new to the Malaysian weather forecasting community, the principles presented in this paper deal with the two main approaches: the ground-based atmospheric sounding and the radio occultation method. If appropriate strategies are employed during the data acquisition and data processing phases, it is noted that GPS is potentially capable of being implemented as an alternative and promising tool to remotely sense the spatial and temporal variability of the Earth’s atmosphere. …”

Elevated circulating branched chain amino acids are an early event in pancreatic adenocarcinoma development by Mayers, Jared R., Torrence, Margaret E., Fiske, Brian Prescott, Davidson, Shawn Michael, Papagiannakopoulos, Thales, Dayton, Talya Lucia, Vander Heiden, Matthew G.

“…This elevated risk was independent of known predisposing factors, with the strongest association observed among subjects with samples collected 2 to 5 years before diagnosis, when occult disease is probably present. We show that plasma BCAAs are also elevated in mice with early-stage pancreatic cancers driven by mutant Kras expression but not in mice with Kras-driven tumors in other tissues, and that breakdown of tissue protein accounts for the increase in plasma BCAAs that accompanies early-stage disease. …”

“…The most likely explanation of the present results thus is that high serum ceruloplasmin levels in lung cancer are mainly due to occult cancer.…”

A Novel Satellite Mission Concept for Upper Air Water Vapour, Aerosol and Cloud Observations Using Integrated Path Differential Absorption LiDAR Limb Sounding by Hoffmann, A, Clifford, D, Aulinas, J, Carton, J, Deconinck, F, Esen, B, Husing, J, Kern, K, Kox, S, Krejci, D, Krings, T, Lohrey, S, Romano, P, Topham, R, Weitnauer, C

Mysteries of science fiction: postcritique, cognition, and genre by Bartolotta, S

“…This approach is then implemented through analyses of texts of speculative fiction that display a generic hybridization with the major traditions of crime and mystery literature: spanning from the late-nineteenth to the early twenty-first century, texts examined include British occult detective fiction, Isaac Asimov’s Robot series, Stanisław Lem’s detective novels, and five cybernoir novels. …”

Pathways to the diagnosis of colorectal cancer: An observational study in three UK cities by Barrett, J, Jiwa, M, Rose, P, Hamilton, W

“…Colorectal cancers diagnosed in 2002 from participating practices were identified and the presence and timing of seven important clinical features noted: diarrhoea, constipation, rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, the finding of an abdominal or rectal mass on examination, anaemia and positive faecal occult blood tests. The referral pathways to secondary care were identified. …”

Significance of anti-HBc alone serological status in clinical practice by Wang, Q, Klenerman, P, Semmo, N

“…This serological response is compatible with acute, resolved, and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)infection but might also signify occult HBV infection. Once the anti-HBc alone pattern is detected, false-positive reactivity should be ruled out and further analyses can resolve the clinical status of the donor. …”

Relation between systemic hypertension and sleep hypoxaemia or snoring: analysis in 748 men drawn from general practice. by Stradling, JR, Crosby, J

“…Therefore, our data are inconsistent with dip models that invoke optically thick material, but rather they are in-line with predictions for an occulter consisting primarily of ordinary dust, where much of the material must be optically thin with a size scale Lt1 μm, and may also be consistent with models invoking variations intrinsic to the stellar photosphere. …”

Revisiting the transits of CoRoT-7b at a lower activity level by Barros, S, Almenara, J, Deleuil, M, Diaz, R, Csizmadia, S, Cabrera, J, Chaintreuil, S, Cameron, A, Hatzes, A, Haywood, R, Lanza, A, Aigrain, S, Alonso, R, Bordé, R, Bouchy, F, Deeg, H, Erikson, A, Fridlund, M, Grziwa, S, Gandolfi, D, Guillot, T, Guenther, E, Leger, A, Moutou, C, Ollivier, M

“…We propose this is due to an extra noise component in the previous CoRoT run suspected to be transit spot occultation events. These lead to the mean transit shape becoming V-shaped. …”

A self-lensing binary massive black hole interpretation of quasi-periodic eruptions by Ingram, A, Motta, S, Aigrain, S, Karastergiou, A

“…Our modelling yields three distinct behaviours of self-lensing binary systems that can be searched for in current and future X-ray and optical time-domain surveys: i) periodic lensing flares, ii) partial eclipses (caused by occultation of the background mini-disc by the foreground mini-disc), and iii) partial eclipses with a very sharp in-eclipse lensing flare. …”
