BACKGROUND Human T cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is an inflammatory disease which occurs in less than 2% of HTLV-I -infected individuals. High proviral load, high HTLV-I-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte frequency (CTL) and host genetic factors such as HLA all appear to be associated with HTLV-I infection. Previous studie...

After surveying the literature on the economics of household decision-making, we employ data from the 2010 European Union Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) to study the relationship between personal characteristics such as gender and decision-making power and responsibility. We find that across Europe, women more often make decisions about everyday spending and purchases for chil...

abstract issue: in economic literature, there are two hypotheses regarding the link between economic development and gender inequality. the first gender inequality decreases with economic development. second, economic development increases gender inequality. this research is conducted to investigate the effects of economic development on gender inequality according to kuznets gender curve in ir...

A new polymorph (β) was obtained for an active pharmaceutical ingredient, bis-muth tribenzoate, [Bi(C(6)H(5)CO(2))(3)]. The new β-polymorph is 1.05 times denser than the previously known polymorph [Rae et al. (1998 ▶). Acta Cryst. B54, 438-442]. In the β-polymorph, the Bi atom is linked with three benzoate anions, each of them acting as a bidentate ligand, and these assemblies with C(3) point s...

Abstract We discuss correlations between the neutrino-mass-embedded Standard Model CP phase δ and phases that originate from new physics which cause neutrino-sector unitarity violation (UV) at low energies. This study aims to provide one of building blocks for machinery diagnose non-unitarity, our ultimate goal. extend perturbation theory neutrino oscillation in matter proposed by Denton et al....

We report 2 cases that were considered to be neuro-Sweet disease. They initially manifested with meningoencephalitis and no skin lesions, and rapidly improved with corticosteroid therapy. In both cases, patients complained of meningitic symptoms such as fever and headache, and HLA-B54 and -Cw1 turned out to be positive over the clinical course. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed increased leve...
