Risk Factors for Leukoaraiosis in North American and Iranian Stroke Patients
Background: Leukoaraiosis (LA) or white matter thinning and rarefaction are common in stroke patients. This pilot double-center study was designed to evaluate LA risk factors in stroke patients. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 100 consecutive stroke patients in Walter Mackenzie Hospital, Canada and 100 consecutive stroke patients in Valie-Asr Hospital, Iran in 2004. Diagnos...
متن کاملComparative phylogeography of two North American 'glacial relict' crustaceans.
The Pleistocene glaciations represent the most recent and dramatic series of habitat changes since the Cretaceous. The impact of these events was particularly acute for aquatic taxa with poor powers of dispersal, but few organisms have evolutionary histories more intimately entwined with the advance and retreat of ice than the 'glacial relicts'. In this study, we used a mitochondrial gene, cyto...
متن کاملRapid range expansion in the Great Plains narrow-mouthed toad (Gastrophryne olivacea) and a revised taxonomy for North American microhylids.
We investigated genetic variation within the Great Plains narrow-mouthed toad, Gastrophryne olivacea, across its geographic range in the United States and Mexico. An analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from 105 frogs revealed remarkably low levels of genetic diversity in individuals inhabiting the central United States and northern Mexico. We found that this widespread matrilineal lineage is ...
متن کاملA requiem for North American overkill
The argument that human hunters were responsible for the extinction of a wide variety of large Pleistocene mammals emerged in western Europe during the 1860s, alongside the recognition that people had coexisted with those mammals. Today, the overkill position is rejected for western Europe but lives on in Australia and North America. The survival of this hypothesis is due almost entirely to Pau...
متن کاملThe Destabilization of North American Colubroid Snake Taxonomy
The classification of taxa has always been an area of debate among systematists—empirically, methodologically, and philosophically. Arguably, the single most important change over the past forty years is the widespread recognition that a classification system is only useful when it functions as a storage and retrieval system of phylogenetic information. Although the type of information to be st...
