The prevalence of winter SAD was measured in two groups of a(lult Manitobans of wholly Icelandic (lescent, 210 resident in Winnipeg (50 degrees N) and 252 resident in the nearby Interlake district (50.5 degrees N), using the Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ). These groups live practically at the same latitude and are according to all indications genetically identical. The age-and...

Introduction: Traditionally, small duct disease in chronic pancreatitis (ducts 4 mm or narrower) are treated by pancreatic resection V excision. Methods: The data of patients with over a 12 year period (2005-2017) Frey procedure were extracted from prospectively maintained database and analysed retrospectively to determine mortality, morbidity, pain relief quality life.

The sacred 260-day Mesoamerican calendar probably originated near a latitude of 15 degrees N, where there is a 260-day interval between transits of the zenithal sun. Archeological and faunal evidence favors an origin in the Pacific lowlands rather than in the highlands near Copán, Honduras, although Copán, which is located at the 15th parallel of latitude, later became the principal Mayan astro...

Background: IL-17 is a major cytokine player in T cell mediated leukocyte associated inflammation. IL-17 is also recognized to participate in the pathophysiology of asthma. Objective: To determine the role of IL-17 in predicting severe asthma. Methods: We obtained serum samples from asthmatic children under the age of 5-year in three different groups of mild (n=33), moderate (n=28) and severe (...

positive correlation at 65 +/5 degrees N geomagnetic latitude and altitudes 44-58 km in Figure 5. I am wondering about any possible significance of the large negative correlation, which is computed for 35 +/5 degrees S geomagnetic latitude and altitudes 50-62 km in Figure 5. Could the authors please elaborate on this as well? The mechanism for this is not yeat clear, but this is out of the scop...
