Encephalitis refers to an acute, diffuse inflammatory process affecting the brain. Viral encephalitis being the most important cause. Imaging of patients with viral encephalitis reveals edema in the affected brain parenchyma with possible diffusion restriction in the acute phase probably due to cytotoxic edema. Depending on the virus grey and white matter of the brain may be involved or a disti...

Live attenuated SA-14-14-2 vaccine against Japanese encephalitis (JE) was introduced in the routine immunization under Universal Immunization Program in the 181 endemic districts of India. Recently, the Government of India has announced the introduction of one dose of JE vaccine for adults in endemic districts. The policy to mass vaccinate adults has raised several concerns that are discussed i...

Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z 2342 was revised significantly in 2002. The original standard was enacted in 1991 with the title, "Method for acoustic emission testing of pressure vessels during pressure test". The title was also changed, based on NDIS2412 “Acoustic Emission Testing of Spherical Pressure Vessel Made of High Tensile Strength Steel and Classification of Test Results”, which ...

Cilj je ispitivanja prilagodba Mattisove Ljestvice za procjenu demencije te usporedba rezultata pacijenata s demencijom Alzheimerovog i ostalim tipovima demencija. U ispitivanju je sudjelovalo 15 pacijenata (5 žena i 10 muškaraca) u dobi od 58 do 85 godina, od toga 5 pacijenata s dijagnosticiranom demencijom Alzheimerovog tipa i 10 pacijenata s miješanim demencijama (vaskularne i ostale). Rezul...

We report evidence for nonverbal "accents," subtle differences in the appearance of facial expressions of emotion across cultures. Participants viewed photographs of Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans in which posers' muscle movements were standardized to eliminate differences in expressions, cultural or otherwise. Participants guessed the nationality of posers displaying emotional expre...

Hiperbarična oksigenacija danas je prihvaćena kao mogućnost lečenja mnogih hirurških i internističkih oboljenja, a kod nekih se smatra i metodom izbora. Do takvog statusa hiperbarična oksigenoterapija (HBOT) došla je posle višegodišnje borbe i suprotstavljanja stavova u medicinskim krugovima . Od trenutka kada se pojavila, hiperbarična medicina je prošla od faze oduševljenog prihvatanja, kroz s...

Japanese Encephalitis is the most important cause of epidemic encephalitis worldwide. From the reports by various sources, about 68,000 cases of Japanese encephalitis (JE) are estimated to occur each year [1]. A vaccine is available for Japanese encephalitis, which utilizes effectively killed inoculated bacteria, but it is expensive and requires a primary vaccination followed by two successive ...

UNLABELLED The safety and efficacy of the live-attenuated Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) SA14-14-2 vaccine are attributed to mutations that accumulated in the viral genome during its derivation. However, little is known about the contribution that is made by most of these mutations to virulence attenuation and vaccine immunogenicity. Here, we generated recombinant JEV (rJEV) strains containi...

Examination of hospital records from BMH Dharan and the large Nepalese hospital at Biratnagar has revealed a worrying trend in the incidence of acute encephalitis in the area of the British Military Cantonment at Dharan. The weight of available evidence strongly favours Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) as the aetiological agent. Serological studies from healthy Nepalese from the Dharan area an...
