NIHSS/EIC Mismatch Explains the >1⁄3 MCA Conundrum

>1⁄3 MCA Conundrum To the Editor: The controversy about the significance of early ischemic changes (EIC) on CT after acute stroke by von Kummer, Lyden, and Davis and Donnan1–3 nicely summarizes the issues except for what, in my mind, is the most likely explanation for the discrepancy between the NINDS and ECASS conclusions on this subject. I would also like to propose an alternative way of look...

THE CONUNDRUM OF EUTHANASIA

The thermal mismatch hypothesis explains host susceptibility to an emerging infectious disease.

Parasites typically have broader thermal limits than hosts, so large performance gaps between pathogens and their cold- and warm-adapted hosts should occur at relatively warm and cold temperatures, respectively. We tested this thermal mismatch hypothesis by quantifying the temperature-dependent susceptibility of cold- and warm-adapted amphibian species to the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium de...
