Prion diseases (PrDs) are fatal neurodegenerative disorders, for which no effective therapeutic and diagnostic tools exist. The main pathogenic event has been identified as the misfolding of a disease-associated prion protein. Nevertheless, pathogenesis seems to involve an intricate array of concomitant processes.

Population growth and age structure are factors amenable to change in a human rights context. We propose that policies which favor voluntary family planning and the education of women can ameliorate the global burden of disease associa...

More detailed information about the s t ructure of Sperner families can be obtained by considering their level sequences. The level sequence of a family 4 , f ( ~ ) = {fi(Y)}, has f i (~) equal to the number of members of ~ with exac t ly ' / e l emen t s . Sperner 's theorem asserts tha t ~fi(2~)<_ ([~j) . A stronger restriction on the level i sequence was proved independent ly by Lubell, Yama...
