Despite obvious improvements in spectral resolution at high magnetic field, the detection of 13C labeling by 1H-[13C] NMR spectroscopy remains hampered by spectral overlap, such as in the spectral region of 1H resonances bound to C3 of glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln), and C6 of N-acetylaspartate (NAA). The aim of this study was to develop, implement, and apply a novel 1H-[13C] NMR spectroscopic editing scheme, dubbed "selective Resonance suppression by Adiabatic Carbon Editing and Decoupling single-voxel STimulated Echo Acquisition Mode" (RACED-STEAM). The sequence is based on the application of two asymmetric narrow-transition-band adiabatic RF inversion pulses at the resonance frequency of the 13C coupled to the protons that need to be suppressed during the mixing time (TM) period, alternating the inversion band downfield and upfield from the 13C resonance on odd and even scans, respectively, thus suppressing the detection of 1H resonances bound to 13C within the transition band of the inversion pulse. The results demonstrate the efficient suppression of 1H resonances bound to C3 of Glu and Gln, and C4 of Glu, which allows the 1H resonances bound to C6 of NAA and C4 of Gln to be revealed. The measured time course of the resolved labeling into NAA C6 with the new scheme was consistent with the slow turnover of NAA.

In 1851 the French Social economist Auguste Ott discussed the problem of gluts and commercial crises, together with the issue of distributive justice between workers in co-operative societies. He did so by means of a 'simple reproduction scheme' sharing some features with modern intersectoral transactions tables, in particular in terms of their graphical representation. This paper presents Ott's theory of crises (which was based on the disappointment of expectations) and the context of his model, and discusses its peculiarities, supplying a new piece for the reconstruction of the prehistory of input-output analysis.

Background and aim of the study: Formation of implicit memory during general anaesthesia is still debated. Perceptual learning is the ability to learn to perceive. In this study, an auditory perceptual learning paradigm, using frequency discrimination, was performed to investigate the implicit memory. It was hypothesized that auditory stimulation would successfully induce perceptual learning. Thus, initial thresholds of the frequency discrimination postoperative task should be lower for the stimulated group (group S) compared to the control group (group C). Material and method: Eighty-seven patients ASA I-III undergoing visceral and orthopaedic surgery during general anaesthesia lasting more than 60 minutes were recruited. The anaesthesia procedure was standardized (BISR monitoring included). Group S received auditory stimulation (2000 pure tones applied for 45 minutes) during the surgery. Twenty-four hours after the operation, both groups performed ten blocks of the frequency discrimination task. Mean of the thresholds for the first three blocks (T1) were compared between groups. Results: Mean age and BIS value of group S and group C are respectively 40 } 11 vs 42 } 11 years (p = 0,49) and 42 } 6 vs 41 } 8 (p = 0.87). T1 is respectively 31 } 33 vs 28 } 34 (p = 0.72) in group S and C. Conclusion: In our study, no implicit memory during general anaesthesia was demonstrated. This may be explained by a modulation of the auditory evoked potentials caused by the anaesthesia, or by an insufficient longer time of repetitive stimulation to induce perceptual learning.
