Although an association between Lassa fever (LF) and sudden-onset sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) was confirmed clinically in 1990, the prevalence of LF-induced SNHL in endemic countries is still underestimated. LF, a viral hemorrhagic fever disease caused by Lassa virus (LASV), is endemic in West Africa, causing an estimated 500,000 cases and 5,000 deaths per year. Sudden-onset SNHL, one com...

We determine the luminosity function (LF) of galaxies in the core of the Coma cluster for MR ≤ −11.4 (assuming H0 = 75 km s Mpc), a magnitude regime previously explored only in the Local Group. Objects are counted in a deep CCD image of Coma having RMS noise of 27.7 R mag arcsec. A correction for objects in the foreground or background of the Coma cluster—and the uncertainty in this correction—...

The main objective or the present proposal was to investigate the effect of feeding a lowor high-fat diet in the early and late stages of colon carcinogenesis. Sprague-Dawley male rats were injected with azoxymethane (20 mg/kg/week) for 2 weeks. One week later they were randomly allocated to eat a low-fat (4% beef tallow + 1% corn oil) or a high-fat (18.6% beef tallow + 4.7% corn oil) diet (LF ...

We propose a simple moving-average (MA) model that uses the low-frequency (LF) component of the peroneal muscle sympathetic nerve spike rate (LF(spike rate)) and the high-frequency (HF) component of respiration (HF(Resp)) to describe the LF neurovascular fluctuations and the HF mechanical oscillations in systolic blood pressure (SBP), respectively. This method was validated by data from eight h...
