TheSonic the Hedgehog Squishmallows that first launched a few months ago are making their way online, with plush versions of the classic characters Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow. Sonic and Shadow even have 3D hedgehog spikes coming out of their backs, while Knuckles and Tails have long tails.

SINGAPORE, April 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gravity Game Hub has announced its latest collaboration between Ragnarok Online, the popular MMORPG loved by millions worldwide, and the iconic video game character created by SEGA, Sonic the Hedgehog. The collaboration is aimed at providing players with an unparalleled gaming experience by introducing fresh events and activities. Interested players can download Ragnarok Online here to start your journey!


The collaboration between Ragnarok Online and Sonic the Hedgehog will run from April 25th through May 30th, and will be available for players in Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines. During this period, players are invited to explore the time-limited memorial dungeon and challenge themselves against powerful monsters for lucrative rewards.


A haze of light appears one day in Ragnarok Online when the adventurer is roaming the bookshelves of the western library of Prontera. It is supposed to be the first time meeting this blue hedgehog, but yet it feels nostalgic. Furthermore, something seems to be amiss at Dr. Eggmman's secret base! Head into the time-limited memorial dungeon and fight against Metal Sonic, Knuckles, Dr. Eggman and more with the assistance of Sonic and Tails! Memories start to surface with each bookmark and reading card retrieved as you explore deeper into the dungeons. Obtain these materials along with Rings, exchange them for coveted rewards, and uncover the truth behind these surfacing memories!


Players will receive "Bookmarks", "Reading Cards" and "Rings" upon each completion of the memorial dungeon. Using a Sonic Badge upon completion will increase rewards obtained. These items can be exchanged for a range of limited-edition costumes and in-game items such as Costume Mini Sonic, Costume Mini Tails, Costume Sonic Ring and Chao Egg, adding a dash of Sonic flair to the Ragnarok Online experience.


To commemorate this monumental collaboration, Ragnarok Online is offering three exclusive collaboration packages: Sonic Badge Package, Super Sonic Package, and Chaos Emerald Package. Each package contains a unique assortment of items, including exclusive costumes and in-game collaboration items, tailored to enhance players' journey through the Sonic-themed dungeons.

"How would you feel if you were telling a patient they had lunatic fringe mutation?" asks Sue Povey, who chairs the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) Gene Nomenclature Committee. It's a rhetorical question: the answer is that no one should have to make such an announcement. And Povey's committee is renaming a number of genes that have potentially offensive or embarrassing names so that in the future no one will.


The shortlist of 10 genes including radical fringe, lunatic fringe and, bizarrely, Indian hedgehog was compiled in response to physicians' worries about "inappropriate, demeaning and pejorative" names. The committee consulted more than a hundred geneticists via its website, to gather advice on what to do about the nomenclature.


The problem arose because most of the genes were initially discovered in fruitflies, and their names were then transferred to the human versions of the genes, which were discovered later. "The fruitfly community is not necessarily anarchic but they do have wild ideas about gene names," says Povey. The video-game-inspired sonic hedgehog is perhaps the most noted example of such wildness.


"It struck me that if I were talking to a patient and telling them the problem is that they have a mutation in their lunatic fringe, that would be an inappropriate conversation we were having," he says.


Ludman and several of his colleagues therefore appealed to the HUGO committee to launch the consultation that led to the drawing up of the short-list. Povey says the resulting response was the largest for any online consultation run by the committee.


"Some people said patients should just be able to deal with it," says Povey. But the majority voted that the genes should now be known simply by their abbreviations turning lunatic fringe into LFNG. The revised nomenclature will now be posted to the various gene databases that rely on the committee for up-to-date adjudications on the official naming of genes. "Gene names do get changed quite a lot," says Povey, so it's important for there to be an overall authority on the naming process.


While no one wants to curtail the creativity of fruitfly geneticists, it will be important to ensure that, in the future, no joky names are adopted for human genes where they might cause offence, Ludman adds. Other quirky names in the fruitfly genome include headcase and mothers against decapentaplegia (MAD).


The HUGO committee's move should help gene names to catch up with other areas of medical terminology in the sensitivity stakes, Ludman says. "We don't use terms like gargoylism or mongoloidism any more, and yet we still have these gene names like lunatic that are quite fanciful," he says. "That's playful and fine for scientists, but for human applications it's quite uncomfortable to be using these terms."


Preoperative imaging and histopathology, immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis after resection of 2 hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs) (20 and 2cm) in a 53-year-old female patient were performed. On imaging, the large lesion resembled a myxoid HCA, while the small lesion resembled a more conventional HCA with a small myxoid/fluid area. On microscopy, the large lesion showed cords and nests of hepatocytes embedded in abundant myxoid matrix, while the small lesion resembled a conventional HCA with small foci of myxoid change and serosities; both consistent with a myxoid HCA. Immunophenotyping and molecular subtyping excluded inflammatory HCA, CTNNB1 mutated HCA and sonic hedgehog HCA, and was consistent with HNF1A mutated HCA. The myxoid change as well as the serosities may allow imaging diagnosis of myxoid HCA. As fluid vacuoles can also be present in ASS1+HCA, sonic hedgehog HCA has to be considered in the differential diagnosis.
