Childhood malaria Understanding how changes in community parasite prevalence alter the rate and age distribution of severe is essential for optimizing control efforts. Paton et al . assessed incidence pediatric admissions from 13 hospitals East Africa 2006 to 2020 (see Perspective by Taylor Slutsker). Each 25% increase shifted hospital toward younger children. Low rates lifetime infections appe...

—Understanding the timing of movement events of pond-breeding amphibians to and from breeding and natal ponds, respectively, is essential to implementing effective conservation and monitoring strategies for this group of vertebrates. In this study, we assessed the emigration timing of newly metamorphosed juveniles of four species of pond-breeding amphibians (Ambystoma maculatum, Ambystoma opacu...

A review and critique of the Isgur-Paton flux tube model of hadronic physics is presented. This entails a detailed comparison with recent lattice gauge theory results which exposes both the successes and shortcomings of the model. Applications to hybrid masses, meson and hybrid meson decays, hadronic charge radii, the spin-orbit force, baryonic hybrids, and hybrid photocouplings are also discus...

Paton and Findlay (I) confirmed the results of former workers in a series of critical investigations, in which they found that true tetany developed only after complete parathyroidectomy and that when one external parathyroid was left with its blood supply intact, no symptoms, or at most transient tremors, appear. Many hypotheses concerning the cause of tetany have been proposed, especially fro...

The statement is commonly made that the phosphorus in the diet of carnivora is eliminated principally by the kidneys, while, in herbivora, phosphorus excretion takes place almost entirely through the intestine. Bischoff,l Mtiller,2 Paton, Dunlop, and AitchisoqB Bergmanq4 and others have shown that a large percc>ntage of the phosphorus of the food intake is excreted by dogs in the urine. The uri...

Although the capacity of aluminium to prevent experimental silicosis in animals appears to be well established (Dworski, 1955), there is no adequate evidence at present that it can influence the course of silicosis in man. Moreover, it must be administered to man by inhalation and may not be entirely innocuous itself. Recently Marks, Mason, and Nagelschmidt (1956) have described a method for ev...

Systemic elastorrhexis is a widespread hereditary degeneration of mesodermal tissues affecting many structures in the body, particularly the dermis, the media of the arteries, and Bruch's membrane in the eye. Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is one form of elastorrhexis mainly affecting the skin. Degeneration of the elastic lamina of Bruch's membrane results in the formation of angioid streaks in the r...
