Borrowing Patterns in the Global Financial Safety Net: Does Governance Play a Role?

Laurissa Mühlich, Barbara Fritz

The global financial safety net (GFSN) has become a complex regime. Regional financial arrangements (RFAs) have emerged alongside established IMF structures. How relevant are RFAs and the IMF in moments of financial crisis? And more specifically: Do member countries resort to RFAs as complements or as substitutes to IMF lending? To answer these questions, we developed an original data‐set on the GSFN...

HPV‐negative and HPV‐positive HNSCC cell lines show similar numerical but different structural chromosomal aberrations

Andrea Arenz, Johannes Patze, Evelyn Kornmann, Jochen Wilhelm, more

Head & Neck > 41 > 11 > 3869 - 3879

Background It was tested whether the difference in carcinogenesis between noxa and human papillomavirus (HPV)‐driven head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is associated with a variation in genomic instability. Methods Conventional and molecular cytogenetics in HPV‐positive and HPV‐negative HNSCC cell lines. Results Numerical aneuploidy determined by multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization...

Regional Financial Arrangements in the Global Financial Safety Net: The Arab Monetary Fund and the Eurasian Fund for Stabilization and Development

Barbara Fritz, Laurissa Mühlich

Development and Change > 50 > 1 > 96 - 121

The so‐called global financial safety net provides backstop insurance during financial crises. The three elements of the global safety net — the IMF, regional financial arrangements (RFAs) and bilateral swap agreements — underwent substantial changes after the global financial crisis. How have these changes influenced their use? What role do RFAs have in the safety net? This contribution addresses...

Safety for Whom? The Scattered Global Financial Safety Net and the Role of Regional Financial Arrangements

Laurissa Mühlich, Barbara Fritz

Open Economies Review > 2018 > 29 > 5 > 981-1001

The global financial safety net has undergone fundamental changes since the global financial crisis. The IMF introduced new facilities at the global level, new regional financial arrangements (RFAs) were created, and bilateral swap agreements emerged as a new element. In this paper, we ask how these changes influence the use of RFAs. We create a database with all the cases in which a RFA member drew...

Episomal plasmid-based generation of an iPSC line from an 83-year-old individual carrying the APOE4/4 genotype: i10984

Shadaan Zulfiqar, Barbara Fritz, Katja Nieweg

Stem Cell Research > 2016 > 17 > 3 > 523-525

In this study, lymphoblastoid cells derived from a 83-year old individual with a 15year history of progressive presenile dementia, were used to generate iPS cells, employing episomal plasmids expressing OCT4, SOX2, LIN28, L-MYC and a p53 shRNA. The individual was homozygous for the APOE4 allele. The resulting iPS cells had a normal karyotype, retained the APOE4/4 genotype, expressed pluripotency markers,...

Episomal plasmid-based generation of an iPSC line from a 79-year-old individual carrying the APOE4/4 genotype: i11001

Shadaan Zulfiqar, Barbara Fritz, Katja Nieweg

Stem Cell Research > 2016 > 17 > 3 > 544-546

In this study, lymphoblastoid cells derived from a 79-year old individual with a history of progressive presenile dementia, were used to generate iPS cells, employing episomal plasmids expressing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, LIN28, L-MYC and a p53 shRNA. The individual was homozygous for the APOE4 allele. The resulting iPS cells had a normal karyotype, retained the APOE4/4 genotype, expressed pluripotency markers,...

Arbeitsmigration als Entwicklungschance? Remittances und die Rolle des Finanzsektors im lateinamerikanischen Kontext

Barbara Fritz, Christian Ambrosius, Ursula Stiegler

LEVIATHAN Zeitschrift für Sozialwissenschaft > Globalisierung Süd > Sozialstrukturen im Umbruch > 267-292

Remittances – Geldbeträge, die Migranten an Angehörige in ihren Heimatländern schicken – haben sich zu einer wichtigen Devisenquelle in vielen Entwicklungsländern entwickelt. Die öffentliche Debatte über dieses Thema zeigt sich überaus polarisiert. Während Remittances auf politischer Ebene euphorisch als neue, auf Marktkräften basierende Entwicklungsressource einkommensschwacher Haushalte betrachtet...

An ETV6-ABL1 fusion in a patient with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm: Initial response to Imatinib followed by rapid transformation into ALL

Leukemia Research Reports > 2016 > 6 > C > 50-54

We report the case of a 26 year-old patient presenting with a persistent leukocytosis and CML-like marrow but no evidence of a BCR/ABL1 fusion. Molecular cytogenetics revealed that a portion of the ETV6 locus was inserted into the ABL1 locus. An ETV6/ABL1 fusion transcript could subsequently be confirmed. The patient was started on imatinib and went into complete cytomorphological remission. QRT-PCR...

Mutations Affecting the BHLHA9 DNA-Binding Domain Cause MSSD, Mesoaxial Synostotic Syndactyly with Phalangeal Reduction, Malik-Percin Type

Sajid Malik, Ferda E. Percin, Dorothea Bornholdt, Beate Albrecht, more

The American Journal of Human Genetics > 2014 > 95 > 6 > 649-659

Mesoaxial synostotic syndactyly, Malik-Percin type (MSSD) (syndactyly type IX) is a rare autosomal-recessive nonsyndromic digit anomaly with only two affected families reported so far. We previously showed that the trait is genetically distinct from other syndactyly types, and through autozygosity mapping we had identified a locus on chromosome 17p13.3 for this unique limb malformation. Here, we extend...

Remittances for Financial Access: Lessons from Latin American Microfinance

Christian Ambrosius, Barbara Fritz, Ursula Stiegler

Development Policy Review > 32 > 6 > 733 - 753

The potential of migrant remittances to foster access to financial services for low‐income households has been largely unexplored. Comparing three Latin American countries – the Dominican Republic, El Salvador and Mexico – this inter‐disciplinary study links research on remittances and microfinance with multi‐actor governance approaches. While the context of high remittance‐dependence provides similar...

Postpartum Depression Screening in Yemeni and Punjabi Immigrant Women

Barbara Fritz, Carole McGregor

Nursing for Women's Health > 17 > 3 > 236 - 244

This article describes strategies for using a postpartum depression screening tool with women from two immigrant minority populations (from Yemen and from the Punjab region of India). Techniques to maximize success while working with interpreters and with women's unique cultural considerations are presented. Two case studies provide examples of challenges presented and overcome by women from each...

Purpose We report a rare case of Pallister-Killian syndrome diagnosed prenatally with increased nuchal translucency during screening for trisomy 21. Materials and methods Echografic and postmortem examination of the fetus, G-banded chromosome and FISH analysis on short- and long-term chorion villous sampling (CVS) culture. Results and discussion Cytogenetic analysis revealed a supernumerary isochromosome...

Microdeletion 22q11 in complex cardiovascular malformations

Yasmin Mehraein, C.-F. Wippermann, Ina Michel-Behnke, Thi Kim Nhan Ngo, more

Human Genetics > 1997 > 99 > 4 > 433-442

Abstract Besides DiGeorge, velocardiofacial and conotruncal anomaly face syndromes, some of the isolated congenital heart diseases have also been associated with a chromosomal deletion in 22q11. These disease entities, which had originally been considered to have a different genetic background, are now included in the CATCH-22 microdeletion complex. CATCH 22 is an acronym for cardiac defect, abnormal...
