A Residue Formula for Meromorphic Connections and Applications to Stable Sets of Foliations
We discuss residue formulae that localize the first Chern class of a line bundle to the singular locus of a given holomorphic connection. As an application, we explain a proof for Brunella’s conjecture about e...

On Levi flat hypersurfaces with transversely affine foliation
We prove the non-existence of real analytic Levi flat hypersurface whose complement is 1-convex and Levi foliation is transversely affine in a compact Kähler surface.

On weighted Bergman spaces of a domain with Levi-flat boundary II
Holomorphic functions on the maximal Grauert tube of a hyperbolic compact Riemann surface are studied. It is shown that their weighted Bergman spaces are infinite dimensional for arbitrary weight order greater...

Clinical performance of a novel chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay for FGF23
Measurement of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) has been reported to be clinically useful for the differential diagnosis of chronic hypophosphatemia. However, assays for research use only are available in J...

Diederich–Fornæss and Steinness Indices for Abstract CR Manifolds
We propose the concept of Diederich–Fornæss and Steinness indices on compact pseudoconvex CR manifolds of hypersurface type in terms of the D’Angelo 1-form. When the CR manifold bounds a domain in a complex ma...

Correction to: Dietary potassium restriction attenuates urinary sodium wasting in the generalized form of pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1
In the Original publication of the article, there are two minor errors in Fig. 2 and these include one missing arrow in Fig. 2d and appears as an incorrectly drawn solid lines as dashed line in Fig. 2d.

Dietary potassium restriction attenuates urinary sodium wasting in the generalized form of pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1
Owing to its rarity and severe nature, the treatment for generalized pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (PHA1), a genetic disorder in the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), is exclusively experience-based. In parti...

On a Hyperconvex Manifold Without Non-constant Bounded Holomorphic Functions
An example is given of a hyperconvex manifold without non-constant bounded holomorphic functions, which is realized as a domain with real-analytic Levi-flat boundary in a projective surface.

SAMD9 mutations cause a novel multisystem disorder, MIRAGE syndrome, and are associated with loss of chromosome 7
Satoshi Narumi, Tomonobu Hasegawa and colleagues describe a new adrenal hypoplasia syndrome termed MIRAGE that is caused by mutations in the endosome fusion facilitator SAMD9. They find that patients with these m...

Clinical manifestations and enzymatic activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes in Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome with 3-methylglutaconic aciduria: a case report and literature review
Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome (PS) is a rare mitochondrial disorder. Impaired mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes (MRCC) differ among individuals and organs, which accounts for variable clinical pictu...

Open AccessThe ratio of serum free triiodothyronine to free thyroxine in children: a retrospective database survey of healthy short individuals and patients with severe thyroid hypoplasia or central hypothyroidism
The ratio of serum free triiodothyronine (FT3) to free thyroxine (FT4) has been shown to be constant in healthy adults. However, this ratio has been found to be decreased in athyreotic adult patients on levoth...

A local expression of the Diederich-Fornaess exponent and the exponent of conformal harmonic measures
A local expression of the Diederich-Fornaess exponent of complements of Levi-flat real hypersurfaces is exhibited. This expression describes the correspondence between pseudoconvexity of their complements and ...

A CR Proof for a Global Estimate of the Diederich–Fornaess Index of Levi-Flat Real Hypersurfaces
Yet another proof is given for a global estimate of the Diederich–Fornaess index of relatively compact domains with Levi-flat boundary, namely, the index must be smaller than or equal to the reciprocal of the ...

Increased Na reabsorption via the Na–Cl cotransporter in autosomal recessive pseudohypoaldosteronism
The autosomal recessive form of pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 (AR-PHA1) is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the epithelial sodium channel subunit genes and is characterized by a multisystemic and lifel...
