Limited chronic focal encephalitis: another variant of Rasmussen syndrome?
OBJECTIVE To describe a more limited and less malignant form of Rasmussen encephalitis (RE). METHODS Three subjects (all women; 37, 31, and 32 years of age) developed childhood or late onset chronic focal encephalitis, with a relatively nonprogressive form of the disorder. RESULTS In our patients, clinical features were dominated by partial seizures without marked focal motor deficit and in...
متن کاملPopulation Sex Ratios: Another Consideration in the Reintroduction – Reinforcement Debate?
Reintroduction or reinforcement (RorR) of wild populations is a common conservation strategy. Many conservation projects involve the release of individuals of poorly studied species. This may lead to inefficient results or negative impacts on the conservation efforts. Here, we provide new insights into the conservation implications and potential consequences of a skew in the sex ratio of releas...
متن کاملLimited dispersal, deleterious mutations and the evolution of sex.
This study presents a mathematical model that allows for some offspring to be dispersed at random, while others stay close to their mothers. A single genetic locus is assumed to control fertility, and this locus is subject to the occurrence of deleterious mutations. It is shown that, at equilibrium, the frequency of deleterious mutations in the population is inversely related to the rate of dis...
متن کاملSex-limited protein: in vitro and in vivo functions.
Mouse complement component C4 exists in two isoforms, C4 and a protein with expression restricted to male animals called sex-limited protein (Slp). Although Slp is about 95% homologous to C4, it is generally believed to be non-functional, at least in conventional haemolytic complement assays. In a previous study, however, we showed that Slp is haemolytically active in a C1-inhibitor (C1INH)-reg...
متن کاملIntralocus Sexual Conflict Unresolved by Sex-Limited Trait Expression
Sexually antagonistic selection generates intralocus sexual conflict, an evolutionary tug-of-war between males and females over optimal trait values [1-4]. Although the potential for this conflict is universal, the evolutionary importance of intralocus conflict is controversial because conflicts are typically thought to be resolvable through the evolution of sex-specific trait development [1-8]...
