Pooling data from four samples in which 1,882 men were assessed for acts of interpersonal violence, we report on 120 men whose self-reported acts met legal definitions of rape or attempted rape, but who were never prosecuted by criminal justice authorities. A majority of these undetected rapists were repeat rapists, and a majority also committed other acts of interpersonal violence. The repeat ...

Background: We prospectively assessed the influence of JCVstatus on disability’s accrual in RRMS patients treated with Natalizumab at two tertiary MS centres, settled in Italy. Methods: Negative binomial model was used to assess the influence of baseline JCV status (positive or negative) treatment on clinical and radiological disease activity during the 24 months’ follow-up. Results: One hundre...

Localization of a 2-ms click target was previously shown to be influenced by a preceding identical distractor for inter-click-intervals up to 400 ms [Kopčo, Best, and Shinn-Cunningham (2007). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 121, 420-432]. Here, two experiments examined whether perceptual organization plays a role in this effect. In the experiments, the distractor was designed either to be grouped with the ...

Immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, and IgM antibodies were measured in serum samples from 71 organ donors, 81 kidney transplant recipients at transplantation, and 67 patients during the posttransplant period by using a virus-like particle-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). BK virus (BKV) and JC virus DNA were detected in urine and plasma by real-time PCR. IgG antibodies to BKV were demo...

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a progressive lethal demyelinating disease of the brain, caused by JC virus. Reactivation of JC virus due to reduction of cellular immunity especially in setting of AIDS, is the commonest underlying cause. PML has classically been described in individuals with profound cellular immunosuppression such as patients with AIDS, haematological malig...

The JC virus ( JCV) is well known for causing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a potentially fatal, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). PML almost exclusively affects immunosuppressed patients, whereas it is rare in immunocompetent subjects. Recently, a new clinical entity, named JCV encephalopathy ( JCVE), has been observed. We present the case of a 62-y...

PURPOSE Several reports have indicated the presence of JC polyomavirus (JCV) in many human tumors, including colorectal cancers (CRCs). The presence of JCV infection in CRC patients has not been investigated in African countries. METHODS We examined the prevalence and the biological significance of JCV in Tunisian CRC patients. The presence of JCV was assessed by polymerase chain reaction (PC...
