Star Comics, gli annunci dell’Hanami Manga Festival

In arrivo la Perfect Edition di Inuyasha, Rosen Blood, One Room Angel e Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

A quanto pare, oltre a quelli annunciati gioved�� sera in occasione dell’apertura degli STAR DAYS 2021, c’erano in caldo altri quattro titoli in casa Edizioni Star Comics. Di seguito trovate le novità svelate durante l’Hanami Manga Festival di AnimeClick.

INUYASHA (PERFECT EDITION) di Rumiko Takahashi

Kagome è una studentessa delle medie la cui famiglia gestisce un tempio shintoista. Il giorno del suo quindicesimo compleanno viene improvvisamente aggredita da un terribile demone, che la risucchia all’interno di un pozzo nei pressi del santuario, catapultandola indietro nel tempo di diversi secoli, fino nell’epoca Sengoku.

Nel tentativo di sfuggire alla creatura, la fanciulla cerca rifugio in un bosco, e lì si imbatte in un affascinante mezzo-demone dai lunghi capelli bianchi sigillato in un sonno magico. Risvegliato da Kagome per difenderla dal mostro che la sta minacciando, Inuyasha riconosce in lei la reincarnazione della sacerdotessa Kikyo, custode della preziosa Sfera dei Quattro Spiriti...

Inizia per il duo un emozionante viaggio tra passato e presente per cercare di proteggere la sfera dalle grinfie di spietati demoni e crudeli nemici.

A grandissima richiesta, ritorna finalmente uno dei più immortali capolavori della maestra Rumiko Takahashi, in un'imperdibile Perfect Edition che farà la gioia dei suoi tanti appassionati.

Serie di 30 volumi, conclusa - Novembre 2021 - In fumetteria, libreria e store online

KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF EIZOUKEN! di Sumito Owara

Midori, Sayaka e Tsubame sono 3 liceali completamente diverse fra loro: Midori è un maschiaccio scapestrato che sogna mondi immaginari e li appunta con disegni meticolosi; Tsubame è una modella altolocata con la passione per le animazioni; Sayaka è un'inquietante, cinica e venale amica di Midori che vede nel fortuito incontro Tsubame un'irripetibile opportunità di business. Sfidando tutto e tutti, l'improbabile trio darà vita all'Eizouken, un club studentesco con l'obiettivo segreto di realizzare – fra maestosi e improbabili sogni a occhi aperti e furbeschi sotterfugi – un anime. Il favoloso mondo dell'entertainment non è mai stato così appassionante e imprevedibile!

Nominato nel 2018 ai Taisho Awards e nella selezione di «Kono manga ga sugoi!», il graffiante e acclamato manga di Sumito Oowara ha anche ispirato una pluripremiata serie anime, un film cinematografico live-action e un tv drama.

Serie di 5 volumi, in corso - Settembre 2021 - In fumetteria, libreria e store online

ROSEN BLOOD di Kachiru Ishizue

Rimasta sola al mondo, Stella si mette in viaggio alla ricerca di un lavoro, ma finisce coinvolta in un incidente. Per sua fortuna, un uomo affascinante e misterioso interviene e la trae in salvo, per poi portarla con sé alla sua magione, una seducente villa circondata da rose velenose. Levi – questo il suo nome – vive lì con altri tre uomini dalla straordinaria bellezza, e Stella, che non ha più un posto dove andare, si offre di lavorare per loro come cameriera per saldare il suo debito. La ragazza ancora ignora quanto possa essere rischioso mettersi al servizio di quattro... vampiri!

Passione, intrigo e atmosfere gotiche e decadenti in una mini serie scritta e straordinariamente illustrata dalla talentuosissima maestra Kachiru Ishizue.

Serie di 3 volumi, in corso - Dicembre 2021 - In fumetteria, libreria e store online

ONE ROOM ANGEL di Harada

Koki ha trent’anni, è single, non ha né amici, né hobby. Vive in un appartamento lurido, ha un lavoro misero e conduce una vita senza sogni e senza troppe pretese. Una sera viene accoltellato da un delinquente e proprio quando sta per morire… un angelo appare davanti ai suoi occhi!

La maestra Boys’ Love, Harada, torna in Italia attraverso un’opera molto diversa rispetto alle sue serie precedenti. Una storia matura e commovente, che rappresenta un vero e proprio elogio alla vita.

Vincitore anche del primo premio ai Chil Chil BL Awards 2020.

Volume unico - Novembre 2021 - In fumetteria, libreria e store online

Investigation 9 (21/8/2020): Compress – Atsuhiro Sako

Atsuhiro Sako, villain name ‘Mr Compress’, has the ability to trap a large spherical area into a small marble-like object. Immediately, questions arise. Do the trapped objects stay the same mass? If not, where does the excess mass go? How are the objects compressed, and what state are they in whilst compressed? It’s time to find out.

Right off the bat, there is no way for the quirk to compress and expand an object without causing a large amount of damage. Being able to change the size of an object only through touch is impossible, and changing the volume of a space so drastically cannot be done without some way to increase pressure drastically, which would have intense heating effects, as well as requiring vast amounts of time and industrial machinery. The quirk’s main effect cannot be explained scientifically, which leaves us looking at not the mechanics of the quirk, but instead the effects, both intentional and accidental.

There are two mutually exclusive options as to how objects are stored whilst the quirk is in effect, and both are shown to occur at one point or another in the anime. On the one hand, Compress can hold the marbles in his hand and even on his tongue[1], showing they weigh much less than their expanded counterparts. On the other hand, people who are compressed by the quirk are conscious and can make decisions and move around, shown by Mr Compress’s ability to use his quirk on himself [1], and then cancel its effects whilst he is compressed. This means his brain at least is intact, and thus the objects are somehow just squeezed into a smaller area, with all their atoms intact.

Lets look at each of these possibilities in further detail. At the end of the Shie Hassaikai raid, Mr Compress uses his quirk to tunnel through the ground, excavating multiple spheres of concrete and earth to create a tunnel around 5m (15ft) across[2]. The marbles are about 1cm (0.4 in) in diameter, meaning the volume of the earth was reduced by 500 times. This means the volume was decreased by 125 million times, and thus the density increased by the same number. If the quirk conserved mass, then the marbles would have a mass of 163 metric tonnes, and exert a pressure of 16 tN/m2 (16 teranewtons per square metre), the equivalent of 235 thousand hydraulic presses. Suffice to say, these marbles could not be held on the tongue.

Another explanation then, is some sort of delayed teleportation similar to Star Trek. Theoretically, Mr Compress could store the positions and states of every atom within the volume to be ‘compressed’, and then turn all the mass into energy. Then, this energy could be turned back into mass when the object is ‘expanded’. We can figure out the energy needed by looking again at the most significant use of the quirk: tunnelling into concrete. Mr Compress creates at least 5 marbles, each holding a 5m radius sphere of concrete and earth. Using the famous E=mc2 we find that this generates 7.3 zetajoules, or 7.3x1022 joules of energy. This is the energy of 7.8x1018 AA batteries, and if these batteries were laid end-up in a square, that square would measure 12 km on each side. It’s safe to say that this Star Trek method requires unfeasible amounts of energy storage, as well as some way of converting energy to mass and back again incredibly precisely and completely efficiently.

If we move even further into the realms of science fiction, (i.e. less emphasis on the ‘science’, much more on the ‘fiction’), we can postulate on the quirk’s use of wormholes, pocket universes, or other similar theoretical physics terminology takes wildly out of context. Essentially, the quirk could transport the matter to an enclosed point in space, into a pocket universe, along a new dimension, or any other way to move the sphere of matter from the here-and-now. Before we continue, this is not possible under current understandings of physics, and is essentially sci-fi jargon with a thin façade of relativity and theoretical physics to cover it up. Theoretical physicists, if for some reason you’ve read this far, feel free to skip the next 6 paragraphs and replace them with the phrase “Mr Compress’ quirk is impossible”.

First, some terminology. Pocket universes are a possible explanation of the rough homogeneity in temperature across the whole universe, even in sections so far apart light should not have been able to travel from one to the other. The theory states the universe is constantly and rapidly expanding, and that certain regions stop inflating, and instead the energy within them condenses into matter. These new populated regions of space are called pocket universes.

Wormholes (often called Einstein-Rosen bridges to sound fancy) are theoretical structures that link two defined points in space time, and could allow travel between those two points.

In everyday life there are three spatial dimensions; x, y, and z. Relativity explains the universe with an extra dimension; time. However, it is possible that the universe, or certain sections of it, contain extra dimensions. Indeed, standard string theory requires 10 spatial dimensions for mathematical consistency, and bosonic string theory needs at least 26. Even stranger, some or all of these dimensions may be ‘closed up’: coiled in on themselves so much they essentially disappear.

Now, for some incredibly theoretical ways to explain both sides of Mr Compress’ quirk. It is possible wormholes could connect different universes or pocket universes. It is also likely the entrance to a wormhole is a sphere, in the same way that the entrance to a cave in a cliff is a circle (or similar), except in one more dimension. Therefore, if Mr Compress’ quirk creates a wormhole to a pocket dimension, then the matter would be transported into a different universe, unable to interact with our own. The matter also would not be able to escape the universe due to its expansion. The good news is that the sphere has about enough air for a trapped person to survive two weeks before carbon dioxide poising sets in. This is much less time than it takes to starve, so food is not an issue, but if the universe does not contain water the person would dehydrate in about one week. Another issue, although more a minor inconvenience, is that without a light source the inside of the universe would be pitch black – the blackest black possible, since no light would exist there.

However, we still haven’t explained the presence of the marbles. It is theoretically possible that a pocket universe could form around another pocket universe. It thus may be possible to force the formation of a pocket universe inside another. If this is the basis to Mr Compress’ quirk, it functions as follows. 1: A pocket universe is created within our universe. This pocket universe appears the size of a marble. 2: A wormhole is created, with one end centred on a point in our universe, and the other in the pocket universe. 3: The matter enclosed within the opening in our universe travels through the wormhole to the pocket dimension. 4: The wormhole collapses, and the transported matter is trapped within the pocket universe. 5: The pocket universe’s boundary is impassable, so it acts like a marble, with a completely reflective surface. 6: Another wormhole is created, and instead of transporting matter both ways, the pocket universe is collapsed. The implications of collapsing universes is slightly too maths-filled and strange to explore here.

And that is a possible explanation to Mr Compress’ quirk! Theoretical physicists, if you’re reading this, I’m so sorry. Non theoretical physicist, and any of this interested you, I would encourage you to research it yourself and debunk all the falsehoods crammed into this explanation.

Finally, I would like to look at some strange effects of the quirk, namely large gusts of wind. When an object is compressed or wormhole-d, it leaves a 2.5m radius sphere of empty space (hi theoretical physicists -I just mean a vacuum, not the absence of all the weird particles you’re so cagey about). This would be rather quickly filled with air, creating a large rush of wind inwards. The speed of this would vary significantly based on altitude, humidity, temperature and other factors. Once the space has been filled, there are a few possible options. If the air is going relatively slowly, then there would be a slight compression, and a small wave of pressure back outwards. If it is going faster, that small wave of compression becomes a supersonic shockwave. Faster still, and the air compresses, heating up the centre of the blast area. Faster still, and this heating causes nuclear fusion and a nuclear detonation.

A similar, if less drastic, version of this problem happens in reverse when the quirk is used again, and the matter is returned to its normal size. In this case, a volume twice atmospheric pressure is created as the trapped matter overlaps with the matter in the destination. If a person was transported, then this would cause air to become present within their body, a very unpleasant experience similar to what occurs when divers surface too quickly. Gas bubbles form in the blood, as if the person was a newly opened bottle of coke, and symptoms range in severity for joint pain, to rashes, to seizures, coma and death. This would be accompanied by a rush of wind outwards, though one much less severe than the shockwave when the object is first compressed.

In summary, Mr Compress’ quirk condenses matter down into a small area, most likely through the forced creation of a pocket universe within our own universe. The instantaneous creation of a wormhole transports a sphere of matter into the universe, where it is then trapped. When the object is ‘expanded’, another wormhole transports the contents of the marble universe into our universe, and the marble universe collapses, disappearing entirely.

Manga the Week of 3/2/22

SEAN: Our long nightmare, aka February, is over. What does March bring us?

Yes Press is mostly off this week, but we get two titles: I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss 3 and To Save the World, Can You Wake Up the Morning After with a Demi-Human? 4.

Two debuts from Viz Media, one for each of their main imprints. Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai (Dragon Quest – Dai no Daibouken) is the classic 1989 manga from the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump! It’ll be coming out here in omnibus form, 2-in-1. It’s one of the biggest manga ever. Its authors later did Beet the Vandel Buster. The plot? Boy has adventures.

ASH: Always glad to see more classic manga being released!

ANNA: Nice!

SEAN: The Shojo Beat title is Ima Koi: Now I’m in Love (Ima, Koi Wo Shite Imasu), a Betsuma series that features yet another guy who seems to be scary but is actually really nice. The author is best known for Wolf Girl and Black Prince, which has not been licensed, alas.

MICHELLE: I tend to like those sorts of stories, so I’m down for this.

ASH: Same!

ANNA: Surprising no one, me too.

SEAN: Also from Viz: Mashle: Magic and Muscles 5, My Hero Academia 30, the 14th and final volume (thank God) of Platinum End, Rosen Blood 2, Undead Unluck 6, World Trigger 23, and Yakuza Lover 4.

ASH: I didn’t get very far with Platinum End.

ANNA: I think I lasted for a couple volumes.

SEAN: Seven Seas debuts Classroom of the Elite (Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e), based on the light novel, which runs in my nemesis, Comic Alive. Kiyotaka is entering a prestigious high school known for educating the children of the future. Unfortunately, he ends up in Class D, which is where the rejects go to get ridiculed and vanish from society forever. Unfortunately for the school, there’s a lot more to Kiyotaka than it seems.

Also from Seven Seas: DUNGEON DIVE: Aim for the Deepest Level 3, I Got Caught Up In a Hero Summons, but the Other World was at Peace! 3, The Invincible Shovel 3, My Lovey-Dovey Wife is a Stone Cold Killer 2, The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent 5, Sorry for My Familiar 9, and A White Rose in Bloom 2.

MICHELLE: I’m looking forward to A White Rose in Bloom.

ASH: As am I. I really love Asumiko Nakamura’s manga.

SEAN: One Peace Books has a 14th volume of Hinamatsuri.

ASH: I’ve fallen behind, but I’ve gotten a kick out of what I’ve read so far.

SEAN: Kodansha, in print, has Beyond the Clouds 4, Chasing After Aoi Koshiba 3, Love and Lies 11, Saint Young Men 8, and Yuri Is My Job! 8.

ASH: I’m still here for Saint Young Men, as usual.

SEAN: Digitally, the debut is… not announced yet, so will have to wait.

Also digitally: A Couple of Cuckoos 6, Girlfriend, Girlfriend 8, Kounodori: Dr. Stork 21, My Master Has No Tail 4, the 22nd and final volume of Smile Down the Runway, and We’re New at This 10.

J-Novel Club debuts Magic Knight of the Old Ways (Furuki Okite no Mahou Kishi), a story of knights and kings that also has to deal with the fact that its leads are named Sid and Alvin, which makes me worry this will become Carry On Magic Knights.

J-Novel Club also has some digital manga releases as we see Bibliophile Princess 5, The Emperor’s Lady-in-Waiting Is Wanted as a Bride 3, Infinite Dendrogram 9, and Marginal Operation 12.

Ghost Ship has new volumes. We get Does a Hot Elf Live Next Door to You? 3 and Might as Well Cheat: I Got Transported to Another World Where I Can Live My Wildest Dreams! 2.

Cross Infinite World debuts So You Want to Live the Slow Life? A Guide to Life in the Beastly Wilds (Shishi Kamori de Slow Life), a bit of a reverse isekai. Our hero stays in Japan, and inherits his grandfather’s estate. Unfortunately, his estate is in the Beastly Wilds, a section of forest off-limits to humans… as it’s filled with beastmen! That said, it’s a slow life book, so don’t expect battles.

ASH: Could possibly be an interesting isekai inversion.

SEAN: In print, Airship has Berserk of Gluttony 5 and The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter 6.

And in early digital, they have a debut: The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior (Higeki no Genkyou tonaru Saikyou Gedou Rasubosu Joou wa Tami no Tame ni Tsukushimasu). You know the drill. Reincarnated in an otome game as the villainess. Tries to be a good person instead. Does it a little TOO well.

Anything catch your fancy?

2018 Exciting Update: Advancing Novel Treatment Options for Narcolepsy

The blog post 2018 Exciting Update: Advancing Novel Treatment Options for Narcolepsy was originally published on www.perspectief.org

One of my biggest takeaway from the APSS 2018 SLEEP Meeting last month was the great amount of drug development underway for narcolepsy! Below is a list of some of the emerging treatments “abuzz” at #SLEEP2018. These are at various stages in development, and it’s hard to predict how quickly each will advance to (hopefully) gain regulatory approval and become available in the U.S. and other locations worldwide. Some are in clinical trials with opportunities to get involved. If you’ve participated in a clinical trial — THANK YOU! You’re making a huge difference to improve the lives of people with narcolepsy for years to come.

Please remember, I failed high school biology, sorry mom! But seriously, I am not a scientist or doctor. You should always speak with your narcolepsy specialist about treatment options and whether a clinical trial would be a good option for you. However, I hope this post helps provide access to information. When navigating a serious condition like narcolepsy, information is power.

Pitolisant

Background: Pitolisant is a histamine H3 receptor inverse agonist that activates histamine neurons, under development in the US to treat excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy in people with narcolepsy. This an exciting advance because pitolisant works via a different mechanism of action than other treatment options currently available. This great article talks about the mechanisms of action and offers some ideas on how the treatment may work.

Pitolisant has been on the market in Europe for two years now, since it’s approval by the European Medicines Agency in 2016. In Europe, pitolisant is known by its trade name “Wakix”. In October 2017, Harmony Biosciences, LLC acquired the rights to develop, register and market the drug in the United States.

Research Findings:

Phase 3 study results focused on excessive daytime sleepiness: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24107292

Subsequent Phase 3 study results focused on cataplexy: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28129985

Current status: On May 21, 2018, Harmony Biosciences, LLC announced here that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy and Fast Track designations to pitolisant for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy in people with narcolepsy.

Get Involved: While the clinical trials necessary for the FDA to consider the approval of the drug are complete, there is a system set up for some eligible individuals to gain access the treatment at this point through an open-label Expanded Access Program. Learn more here.

Solriamfetol

Background: Solriamfetol (also known as JZP-110) is a wake-promoting agent, a dopamine and nonrepinephrine reuptake inhibitor to treat excessive daytime sleepiness in people with narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea. Clinical and preclinical data suggest that the wake-promoting effects of solriamfetol differ from medications such as modafinil and amphetamine.

Current Status: In March 2018, the FDA accepted for filing Jazz Pharmaceutical’s New Drug Application (NDA) seeking marketing approval for solriamfetol (also known as JZP-110) for the treatment of excessive sleepiness in adults with narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea.

Research Findings: There were a ton of posters and presentations at the 2018 SLEEP meeting on solriamfetol. Jazz’s full announcement is here. Four phase 3 clinical trials support solriamfetol’s NDA, including:

One study evaluating excessive sleepiness in adult patients with narcolepsy (TONES 2)

Two studies evaluating excessive sleepiness in adult patients with OSA (TONES 3 and TONES 4),

An open-label long term safety and maintenance of efficacy for the treatment of excessive sleepiness in patients with narcolepsy or OSA (TONES 5).

Once-nightly formulation of sodium oxybate

Background: This is a once-nightly formulation of sodium oxybate using Avadel Pharmaceuticals’ proprietary Micropump® technology to provide an extended-release of the drug. It is currently undergoing testing in a Phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy in people living with narcolepsy.

Current status: On January 10, 2018, Avadel Pharmaceuticals announced that their once-nightly formulation of sodium oxybate has been granted Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA.

Research Findings:

First-in-Human Study

Second Clinical Trial Results

Get Involved: Currently recruiting participants in U.S. and other locations internationally to participate in the Phase 3 REST-ON trial. For more information, visit www.rethinknarcolepsy.com and ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02720744

Pediatric indication for sodium oxybate

Background: While some children currently take sodium oxybate to treat cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness of narcolepsy, it is currently considered “off-label” use because the treatment had not been formally evaluated and FDA-approved specifically for a pediatric population. (Off-label use is NOT improper use, and many people rely on “off-label” use to access critical treatments, especially in children and rare disease populations. However, this supplemental application, if approved, should help to improve access to sodium oxybate for children with narcolepsy.)

Current status: On June 27, 2018, Jazz Pharmaceuticals announced here that the FDA accepted for priority review its supplemental new drug application (sNDA) seeking revised labeling for Xyrem (sodium oxybate) oral solution, to include an indication to treat cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in children with narcolepsy. The goal date for an FDA decision is October 27, 2018!

Research Findings: E Mignot, G Plazzi, Y Dauvilliers, C Rosen, C Ruoff, J Black, R Parvataneni, D Guinta, Y Wang, M Lecendreux; 0813 Sodium Oxybate Treatment of Narcolepsy in Pediatric Patients: Long-term Efficacy and Safety, Sleep, Volume 41, Issue suppl_1, 27 April 2018, Pages A302, https://doi.org/10.1093/sleep/zsy061.812

Low sodium version of sodium oxybate

Background: JZP-258 is a low-sodium version of sodium oxybate that has 90 percent less sodium.

Get Involved:

Phase 3 clinical trial currently underway for people with narcolepsy with cataplexy: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03030599

Phase 3 clinical trial preparing to open for people with idiopathic hypersomnia: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03533114

Advancing Orexin-Related Therapies!

Since 1999, we’ve known that type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy is caused by a selective loss of neurons producing the neuropeptide orexin (otherwise known as hypocretin), which plays a central role in maintaining wakefulness. However, finding compounds that can get past the blood-brain barrier and mimic the function of orexin has been scientifically challenging. Over the past 20 years, a few approaches have been explored, but the most recent progress comes from Japan!

YNT-185

Background: In 2017, the nonpeptide orexin type-2 receptor agonist, YNT-185 was found to improve narcolepsy-cataplexy symptoms in mouse models. This study provided a proof-of-concept for mechanistic treatments of narcolepsy with orexin receptor agonists. The compound also promoted wakefulness in “wildtype” mice (meaning typical mice that didn’t have narcolepsy), suggesting that orexin receptor agonists could be useful for treating sleepiness due to other causes.

Research Findings: Irukayama-Tomobe Y et al. (2017) A non-peptide orexin type-2 receptor agonist ameliorates narcolepsy-cataplexy symptoms in mouse models. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA doi/10.1073/pnas.1700499114

Current Status: The research team is currently refining the compound.

TAK-925

Background: In 2017, also in Japan, a patent was claimed for orexin 2 receptor selective agonist, structurally different from YNT-185. The patent includes strong agonists including the clinical candidate TAK-925.

In April 2018, the orexin 2 receptor-selective agonist, TAK-925, was found to significantly increased wakefulness time and also completely recovered wakefulness fragmentation and cataplexy-like episodes in orexin/ataxin-3 transgenic mice. This study indicated that the treatment may have the potential to treat a broad range of narcolepsy symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy.

A second publication reported on the pharmacological and electrophysiological characterization of TAK-925 from in vitro (petri dish-type studies) and in vivo (studies in wild-type mice and non-human primates including common marmosets, and cynomolgus monkeys).TAK-925 was shown to induce wake-promoting effects in the mice and nonhuman primates.

Research Findings:

M Suzuki, H Yukitake, T Ishikawa, H Kimura; 0001 An Orexin 2 Receptor-selective Agonist TAK-925 Ameliorates Narcolepsy-like Symptoms In Orexin/ataxin-3 Mice, Sleep, Volume 41, Issue suppl_1, 27 April 2018, Pages A1, https://doi.org/10.1093/sleep/zsy061.000

H Yukitake, T Ishikawa, A Suzuki, Y Shimizu, M Nakashima, T Fujimoto, K Rikimaru, M Ito, M Suzuki, H Kimura; 0002 An Orexin 2 Receptor-selective Agonist, TAK-925, Shows Robust Wake-promoting Effects In Mice And Non-human Primates, Sleep, Volume 41, Issue suppl_1, 27 April 2018, Pages A1, https://doi.org/10.1093/sleep/zsy061.001

Current Status: It’s exciting to see that TAK-925 has advanced to human studies!

In Japan, the first-in-human phase 1 clinical trial of TAK-925 is currently underway testing the compound in people with narcolepsy healthy adults and elderly people to learn about the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a single intravenous administration. Learn more: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03332784

In the U.S., TAK-925 is in a Phase 1B study comparing it to modafinil in sleep-deprived healthy adults. Learn more: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03522506

Please know this is NOT a full list of all emerging treatments under development for narcolepsy. I lost steam before even getting to GABA-A receptor antagonists under investigation for people with idiopathic hypersomnia. For a more thorough review of emerging narcolepsy treatments from March 2017: New developments in the management of narcolepsy.

A HUGE thank you to all those who are working to make this progress possible: scientists, drug developers, clinical research teams, and individuals with narcolepsy and families around the world. Your contributions are making a very meaningful difference.

Support Narcolepsy Research

While the current pharmaceutical industry investment in narcolepsy drug development is encouraging, the current federal investment in basic and translational narcolepsy research is not encouraging. In Fiscal Year 2017, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded an estimated $2.6 million total for all of narcolepsy type 1, narcolepsy type 2 and idiopathic hypersomnia research. This is a significant reduction in the past decade (full analysis here).

Many unanswered research questions remain and federal funding is a critical resource to enable top researchers to make progress to better understand the biological mechanisms underlying all types of narcolepsy and lead us to the next generation of treatment options. If advancing research is important to you, please sign up for Project Sleep’s upcoming advocacy webinar.

Project Sleep is strategically elevating the voices of people living with sleep-related conditions and their loved ones to help decision-makers understand the urgency of our unmet needs. See our advocacy guiding principles here. Some of our efforts are more general for “sleep health and sleep disorders research” and others will be targeted to certain overlooked sleep-related disorders. ALL are important. Believe me, I will NOT waste your precious time and energy on efforts that will go nowhere. I’m protective of my tribe’s spoons! I will only ask for your support when it’s high-impact work. Thank you for joining our upcoming webinar and for all your incredible support over so many years now. I’m forever grateful for this community!

10 Interesting German Fiction Books

1. All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, A.W. Wheen (Translator)

“This is the testament of Paul Bäumer, who enlists with his classmates in the German army of World War I. These young men become enthusiastic soldiers, but their world of duty, culture, and progress breaks into pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches. Through years of vivid horror, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the hatred that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against one another – if only he can come out of the war alive.’ (goodreads)

2. The Trialby Franz Kafka, Edwin Muir (Translator), Willa Muir (Translator), Max Brod (Afterword)

“Written in 1914 but not published until 1925, a year after Kafka’s death, The Trial is the terrifying tale of Josef K., a respectable bank officer who is suddenly and inexplicably arrested and must defend himself against a charge about which he can get no information. Whether read as an existential tale, a parable, or a prophecy of the excesses of modern bureaucracy wedded to the madness of totalitarianism, The Trial has resonated with chilling truth for generations of readers.” (goodreads)

3. The Readerby Bernhard Schlink, Carol Brown Janeway (Translator)

“Hailed for its coiled eroticism and the moral claims it makes upon the reader, this mesmerizing novel is a story of love and secrets, horror and compassion, unfolding against the haunted landscape of postwar Germany. When he falls ill on his way home from school, fifteen-year-old Michael Berg is rescued by Hanna, a woman twice his age. In time she becomes his lover—then she inexplicably disappears. When Michael next sees her, he is a young law student, and she is on trial for a hideous crime. As he watches her refuse to defend her innocence, Michael gradually realizes that Hanna may be guarding a secret she considers more shameful than murder.” (Goodreads)

4. Every Man Dies Aloneby Hans Fallada, Michael Hofmann (Translator), Geoff Wilkes (Afterword)

“First published in Germany in 1947, Every Man Dies Alone is a true masterpiece from a bestselling writer who saw his life crumble following his decision not to flee Germany and his refusal to join the Nazi party. The novel presents a richly detailed portrait of life in Berlin under the Nazis and tells the sweeping saga of one working-class couple’s decision to take a stand when their only son is killed at the front. With nothing but their grief and each other against the awesome power of the Reich, Otto and Anna Quangel launch a simple, clandestine resistance campaign that soon has an enraged Gestapo on their trail, and a world of terrified neighbors and cynical snitches ready to turn them in. In the end, Every Man Dies Alone is more than an edge-of-your-seat thriller, more than a moving romance, even more than literature of the highest order—it’s a deeply stirring story of two people standing up for what’s right, and for each other.” (summary.com)

5. Austerlitzby W.G. Sebald, Anthea Bell (Translator)

“In 1939, five-year-old Jacques Austerlitz is sent to England on a Kindertransport and placed with foster parents. This childless couple promptly erase from the boy all knowledge of his identity and he grows up ignorant of his past. Later in life, after a career as an architectural historian, Austerlitz - having avoided all clues that might point to his origin - finds the past returning to haunt him and he is forced to explore what happened fifty years before...” (Back cover of book)

6. Anne Frank : The Biographyby Melissa Müller, Rita Kimber (Translation), Robert Kimber (Translation)

“The first biography of the girl whose fate has touched the lives of millions. For people all over the world, Anne Frank, the vivacious, intelligent Jewish girl with a crooked smile and huge dark eyes, has become the "human face of the Holocaust." Her diary of twenty-five months in hiding, a precious record of her struggle to keep hope alive through the darkest days of this century, has touched the hearts of millions. Here, after five decades, is the first biography of this remarkable figure. Drawing on exclusive interviews with family and friends, on previously unavailable correspondence, and on documents long kept secret, Melissa Muller creates a nuanced portrait of her famous subject. This is the flesh-and-blood Anne Frank, unsentimentalized and so all the more affecting--Anne Frank restored to history. Muller traces Frank's life from an idyllic childhood in an assimilated family well established in Frankfurt banking circles to her passionate adolescence in German-occupied Amsterdam and her desperate in Bergen Belsen at the age of sixteen. Full of revelations, this richly textured biography casts new light on Anne's relations with her mother, whom she treats harshly in the diary, and solves an enduring mystery: who betrayed the families hiding in the annex just when liberation was at hand? This is an indispensable volume for all those who seek a deeper, richer understanding of Anne Frank and the brutal times in which she lived and died.” (history.com)

7. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germanyby William L. Shirer

“Hitler boasted that The Third Reich would last a thousand years. It lasted only 12. But those 12 years contained some of the most catastrophic events Western civilization has ever known.

No other powerful empire ever bequeathed such mountains of evidence about its birth and destruction as the Third Reich. When the bitter war was over, and before the Nazis could destroy their files, the Allied demand for unconditional surrender produced an almost hour-by-hour record of the nightmare empire built by Adolph Hitler. This record included the testimony of Nazi leaders and of concentration camp inmates, the diaries of officials, transcripts of secret conferences, army orders, private letters—all the vast paperwork behind Hitler's drive to conquer the world.

The famed foreign correspondent and historian William L. Shirer, who had watched and reported on the Nazis since 1925, spent five and a half years sifting through this massive documentation. The result is a monumental study that has been widely acclaimed as the definitive record of one of the most frightening chapters in the history of mankind.

This worldwide bestseller has been acclaimed as the definitive book on Nazi Germany; it is a classic work.

The accounts of how the United States got involved and how Hitler used Mussolini and Japan are astonishing, and the coverage of the war-from Germany's early successes to her eventual defeat-is must reading.” (Goodreads)

8. Outlander (Outlander #1)by Diana Gabaldon

“The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon—when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord . . . 1743. Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life . . . and shatter her heart. For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire . . . and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.” (goodreads)

9. Number the Starsby Lois Lowry

“Ten-year-old Annemarie Johansen and her best friend Ellen Rosen often think of life before the war. It's now 1943 and their life in Copenhagen is filled with school, food shortages, and the Nazi soldiers marching through town. When the Jews of Denmark are "relocated," Ellen moves in with the Johansens and pretends to be one of the family. Soon Annemarie is asked to go on a dangerous mission to save Ellen's life.”(Goodreads)

10. Debunking Holocaust Denial Theoriesby James Morcan (Goodreads Author), Lance Morcan (Goodreads Author),Hetty E. Verolme (Foreword)

“DEBUNKING HOLOCAUST DENIAL THEORIES: Two Non-Jews Affirm the Historicity of the Nazi Genocide, by independent researchers and filmmakers James Morcan & Lance Morcan with a foreword by Holocaust survivor Hetty E. Verolme (author of The Children's House of Belsen), aims to end the denial once and for all by tackling the bizarre phenomenon head-on. Written in close consultation with Holocaust survivors and World War Two historians, no stone is left unturned in meticulously verifying the historical facts of the genocide. The Morcans present a wide array of sources including Nazi documentation, eyewitness accounts, scientific reports and shocking photographic evidence to shut down the debate deniers wish to create.” (Goodreads)

John Argyropoulos - Wikipedia

John Argyropoulos (Greek: Ἰωάννης Ἀργυρόπουλος Ioannis Argiropoulos, Italian: Giovanni Argiropulo, surname also spelt Argyropulus, or Argyropulos, or Argyropulo; c. 1415 – 26 June 1487) was a lecturer, philosopher and humanist, one of the émigré Greek scholars who pioneered the revival of Classical learning in 15th-century Italy.[7] He translated Greek philosophical and theological works into Latin besides producing rhetorical and theological works of his own. He was in Italy for the Council of Florence during 1439–1444, and returned to Italy following the fall of Constantinople, teaching in Padua, Florence and Rome from 1456 until his death.

Biography[edit]

John Argyropoulos was born in c. 1415, in Constantinople. He was Greek.[8]

Argyropoulos studied theology and philosophy in Constantinople. As a teacher there he had amongst his pupils the scholar Constantine Lascaris. He was an official in the service of one of the rulers of the Byzantine Morea and in 1439 was a member of the Byzantine delegation to the Council of Florence, when they accepted Catholicism and abjured Greek Orthodoxy.[9] In 1443/4, he received a Doctor of Theology degree from the University of Padua[10] before returning to Constantinople.[11]

When Constantinople fell in 1453, he left it for the Peloponnesus and in 1456, took refuge in Italy, where he worked as a teacher in the revival of Greek philosophy in the universities of Padua, Florence and Rome and as head of the Greek department at Florence’s ‘Florentine Studium’ university.[12] In 1471, on the outbreak of the plague, he moved to Rome, where he continued to act as a teacher of Greek till his death.

He made efforts to transport Greek philosophy to Western Europe. He left a number of Latin translations, including many of Aristotle's works. His principal works were translations of the following portions of Aristotle, Categoriae, De Interpretatione, Analytica Posteriora, Physica, De Caelo, De Anima, Metaphysica, Ethica Nicomachea, Politica; and an Expositio Ethicorum Aristotelis. Several of his writings exist still in manuscript.[13] His students included Pietro de' Medici and Lorenzo de' Medici, Angelo Poliziano and Johann Reuchlin, and possibly Leonardo da Vinci.[14]

He died on June 26, 1487 in Florence, supposedly of consuming too much watermelon.[15]
