Of 71 acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors at our hospital over the past 10 years, 2 children developed mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE-HS). This is the first report to describe the clinical course of MTLE-HS observed longitudinally by EEG and MRI. Patient 1 experienced a seizure during chemotherapy involving intrathecal methotrexate. Postseizure MRI suggested m...

Coastal dunes are sensitive to both anthropic and natural processes of erosion. In this study, we analyse the geomorphic changes in 15 dune-fringed coastlines Asturias (NW Spain) for period 1992 2014 determine specific drivers Coastline migration patterns were obtained using geospatial analysis vertical aerial images field surveys. The annual maximum wave energy, significant height, duration nu...

Iran-China relations are deeply rooted in history and have been enhanced recently with bilateral cooperation in the areas of energy, arms sales, trade, political cooperation and cultural ties. The objective of this paper is to analyze the role of international outsourcing in form of trading intermediate products on bilateral trade relations between Iran and China. As an empirical work, we h...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent evidence from neuropsychologic and neuroimaging studies suggests that central nervous system involvement in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) extends beyond motor neurons. Our purpose was to obtain measures of global and regional atrophy in nondemented patients with ALS to assess subtle structural brain changes. METHODS MR images, acquired from 16 patients and ...

This paper describes the methodology used for crosswalking occupation-based measures of Green (“environmentally friendly”) and Brown (“polluting”) jobs from Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system to International Occupation (ISCO) 08 at most detailed (4-digit) level. The original, task-based Greenness scores by Vona et al. (2018) are provided 8-digit SOC level, industry-based Brownne...

Heat stress (HS) jeopardizes human and animal health and reduces animal agriculture productivity; however, its pathophysiology is not well understood. Study objectives were to evaluate the direct effects of HS on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Female pigs (57 ± 5 kg body weight) were subjected to two experimental periods. During period 1, all pigs remained in thermoneutral conditions (TN; 2...

• HS of raw milk inactivated the endogenous microbiota Several C/D cycles did not affect microbial response Comparable results were obtained between different This contributed to improvement experimental design In order study possible effect several compressions and decompressions (C/D) performed during hyperbaric storage (HS) in behaviour, was stored under 75 MPa at room temperature (RT) for 3...

BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is diagnosed by the finding of a single cardiac troponin value above the 99th percentile and a significant time-dependent change in cardiac troponin concentration. The aim of this study was to determine the 90-min and weekly biological variations, the reference change value (RCV), and the index of individuality (II) of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (h...

Preliminary studies suggest that maternal heat stress (HS) during late gestation exerts carryover effects on a calf's insulin response after weaning, but a comprehensive evaluation of how maternal HS affects calf intake, growth, and metabolic response from birth to weaning is lacking. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of maternal HS during the dry period on dry matter intake, growth, an...
