Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease is one of the hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies of the peripheral nervous system characterized by progressive loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body. Incurable, this disease is the most inherited neurological disorder, affects about one in 2,500 people. CMT was classified as a subtype of muscular dystrophy. Symptoms of CMT begin in early childhood or early adulthood, but can begin later; some people do not experience symptoms until their early 40s. The initial symptom is foot drop early in the course of the disease; this can cause hammer toe, where the toes are always curled. Wasting of muscle tissue of the lower parts of the legs may give rise to a "stork leg" or "inverted champagne bottle" appearance. Weakness in the hands and forearms occurs in many people. Loss of touch sensation in the feet and legs, as well as in the hands and arms occurs with various types of the disease. Early- and late-onset forms occur with'on and off' painful spasmodic muscular contractions that can be disabling when the disease activates.

High-arched feet or flat-arched feet are classically associated with the disorder. Sensory and proprioceptive nerves in the hands and feet are damaged, while unmyelinated pain nerves are left intact. Overuse of an affected hand or limb can activate symptoms including numbness and painful cramping. Symptoms and progression of the disease can vary. Involuntary grinding of teeth and squinting are prevalent, go unnoticed by the person affected. Breathing can be affected in some, as can hearing and neck and shoulder muscles. Scoliosis is common, causing hunching and loss of height. Hip sockets can be malformed. Gastrointestinal problems can be part of CMT, as can difficulty chewing and speaking. A tremor can develop as muscles waste. Pregnancy has been known to exacerbate CMT, as well as severe emotional stress. Patients with CMT must avoid periods of prolonged immobility such as when recovering from a secondary injury, as prolonged periods of limited mobility can drastically accelerate symptoms of CMT.

Pain due to postural changes, skeletal deformations, muscle fatigue, cramping is common in people with CMT. It can be mitigated or treated by physical therapies and corrective or assistive devices. Analgesic medications may be needed if other therapies do not provide relief from pain. Neuropathic pain is a symptom of CMT, like other symptoms of CMT, its presence and severity vary from case to case. For some people, pain can interfere with daily life activities. However, pain is not experienced by all people with CMT; when neuropathic pain is present as a symptom of CMT, it is comparable to that seen in other peripheral neuropathies, as well as postherpetic neuralgia and complex regional pain syndrome, among other diseases. Charcot -- Marie -- Tooth. Nerve signals are conducted by an axon with a myelin sheath wrapped around it. Most mutations in CMT affect the myelin sheath. CMT is a heterogeneous disease and the mutations linked to it may occur in a number of different genes. Based on the affected gene, CMT is categorized into several subtypes.

The most common cause of CMT is the duplication of a large region on the short arm of chromosome 17 that includes the gene PMP22. Some mutations affect the gene MFN2, on chromosome 1. Mutated MFN2 causes the mitochondria to form large clusters, or clots, which are unable to travel down the axon towards the synapses; this prevents the synapses from functioning. CMT can be produced by X-linked mutations, is named X-linked CMT. In CMTX, mutated connexons create non-functional gap junctions that interrupt molecular exchange and signal transport; the mutation can appear in GJB1 coding for connexin 32, a gap junction protein expressed in Schwann cells. Because this protein is present in oligodendrocytes, demyelination can appear in the CNS. Schwann cells create the myelin sheath, by wrapping its plasma membrane around the axon. Neurons, Schwann cells, fibroblasts work together to create a functional nerve. Schwann cells and neurons exchange molecular signals by gap junctions that regulate survival and differentiation.

Demyelinating Schwann cells causes function. They may cause axon degeneration, or they may cause axons to malfunction; the myelin sheath allows nerve cells to conduct signals faster. When the myelin sheath is damaged, nerve signals are slower, this can be measured by a common neurological test, electromyography; when the axon is damaged, this results in a reduced compound muscle action potential. CMT can be diagnosed through three different forms of tests: measurement of the speed of nerve impulses, a biopsy of the nerve, DNA testing. DNA testing can give a definitive diagnosis. CMT is first most noticed when someone develops lower leg weakness, such as foot drop, or foot deformities, including hammertoes and high arches, but signs alone do not lead to diagnosis. Patients must be referred to a physician specialising in rehabilitation medicine. To see signs of muscle weakness, the neurologist may ask patients to walk on their heels or to move part of their leg against an opposing force. To identify sensory loss, the neurologist tests for deep-tendon reflexes, such as the knee jerk, which are reduced or absent in CMT.

Kriegeriales is an order of Fungi that are yeasts and can be found from a variety of places, ranging from arctic waters to tropical ferns. Most of the species now recognized as being members of Kriegeriales were for a long time placed as incertae sedis in class Microbotryomycetes; the order was described based on evidence from DNA sequence data that showed that a newly discovered Neotropical yeast genus and species, named Meredithblackwellia eburnea, was related to several unplaced species in genera Kriegeria and Glaciozyma and some other basidiomycete yeasts. Kriegeriales is divided into two families: Camptobasidiaceae. Camptobasidiaceae was described by R. T. Moore who placed it in Atractiellales However, DNA sequence data has now shown that Camptobasidium belongs to Microbotryomycetes rather than Atractiellomycetes. To date there are two genera described in Kriegeriaceae and Meredithblackwellia, two in Camptobasidiaceae and Glaciozyma. Most of the known species and strains of Kriegeriales are asexually reproducing yeasts that don’t have a known sexual state.

All are white or cream colored, with elongated cells. A handful of species have been studied in greater detail and for these it has been shown that the nuclear division of the yeast state occurs in the bud, a common character shared with most other basidiomycete yeasts. However, in M. eburnea, K. eriophori and Rhodotorula rosulata budding cells remain attached to each other at the base, forming characteristic clusters of cells that are otherwise unknown in basidiomycete yeasts. The species in Glaciozyma differ in. Only two members of Kriegeriales are known to form hyphal cells. Of these, K. eriophori has an asexual yeast state, leaving C. hydrophilum as the only species in the entire order, hyphal throughout its life cycle. Ultrastructural studies of these two hyphal species have determined that they have simple septal pores, as is true for all other known Pucciniomycotina. Species of Kriegeriales can be found in a variety of ecological niches; the members known to date include plant parasites, aquatic fungi, saprobes, or have unknown roles in nature.

Some have been isolated from psychrophilic environments and are associated with glaciers or the Antarctic sea. For example Glaciozyma antarctica was one of the first basidiomycete yeasts isolated from the Antarctic sea. Others have been isolated from the leaf surfaces of various plants both from temperate and tropical regions.

Louis Rivier was a Swiss painter and stained glass artist. His father William Rivier was the pastor of the Free Church of Vaud. Louis was drawn to painting by Paul Robert. A member beginning in 1901 of the Waldensian Society of Fine Arts, which he would chair between 1929 and 1932, he moved to Paris in 1904 to learn painting and worked in the studio of Jean-Paul Laurens at the Académie Julian, he traveled to Belgium and Italy, fascinated by the primitive Flemish and Italian Renaissance. He exhibited at the Salon de la Société nationale des beaux-arts in Paris in 1914. Though he was a member of the Protestant Church and supported by the elite, Louis managed to break the mistrust of his church. From religious inspiration, elevated to the rank of "art missionary," his work is found in Protestant churches as frescoes or stained glass, notably in Mex, Denezy, Bottens or in the Lausanne churches of Terreaux, de Villard or de Saint-Jean de Cour, he is the author of 17 stained glass windows in the cathedral of Lausanne.

He decorated the Greek Orthodox Church of Lausanne Agios Gerassimos. In 1910, lacking the means to achieve before 1906 the paintings provided by the architect Gaspard André, Louis Rivier offered a monumental decoration for the Palais de Rumine. In 1914 Jean-Jacques Mercier offered to finance the artist for the duration of the work; the work of l'Aula began in 1915, which would last until 1923 and represented 1,000 square meters of paint. The style Rivier chose was in harmony historicist architecture of the palace and the destination of l'Aula; the mural combines science and religion in the service of uplifting humanity, a religious character consistent with the outcome of the Reformation. But the work of Rivier expresses an ambivalent feeling towards science which to certain details of the work, we note that it is rather subject to theology which he matches, in a medieval vision from their reports; the sides which are represented by twelve allegorical figures of faculties are overhung by an entire vault dedicated to religion.

On April 21, 1923, the newly transformed l'aula was the setting for the Conférence de Lausanne sur le Moyen-Orient. The decoration of l'Aula of the Palais de Rumine made the artist celebrated in the region thanks to laudatory book reviews published in the press, it won its author the title of Dr. Honoris causa of the University of Lausanne. In 1925, Rivier exhibited his works at the Grenette in front of the palace, it would attend other international exhibitions of sacred art. He became a recognized painter, a member of fine art societies in London, etc, his art criticism developed along with a biography devoted to the painter Paul Robert. Between 1937 and 1939, Rivier abandoned the tempera and invented a special process combining crayons, paint thinner and spray. In 1940, self-portrait in red and beret among the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, but if Rivier's technique evolved, his classic sources of inspiration hardly changed. The post-war period left it marginalized if its production characterized by easel painting and large murals continued to be appreciated in German Switzerland and abroad where he received a gold medal at the Salon de la Société des artistes français à Paris in 1949 and the Conseil supérieur des récompenses "Arts, Lettres" in Paris in 1958.

A major solo exhibition was dedicated to him in Rome in 1952. He became a corresponding member of the Institut de France and the Royal Society of Arts in London in 1948 and 1952, respectively. After 1963, various exhibitions were held in Switzerland, notably at the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts in Lausanne in 1985, the Kunsthaus in Aarau in 1986, at the Galerie Paul Vallotton in Lausanne in 1993, the Musée historique de Lausanne in 2013, on the fiftieth anniversary of the artist's death.
