Background: It is unclear how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects the severity of Covid-19. Methods: Hospitalization, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission and death after Covid-19 diagnosis 1362 MS patients were compared to age sex-matched Italian population in a retrospective observational case-cohort study with population-based control. The observed vs expected events whole cohort different sub...

To improve tit(.' coverage of examl)le-bases , two nlethods are introduced into the 1)est-match algor i thm. The first is for acquiring conjunctive relat ionships fl'om corpora, as measures of word similarity t h a t can be used in addit ion to thesauruses. The Second, used when a word does not appear in an examltled)asc or a thesaurus, is for inferring links to words in the examph>base by ( 'm...

The relationship between multiple sclerosis (MS) and early micro-structural changes in brain tissue is at the forefront of ongoing research in the fields of neuroimaging and clinical neurology [1]. Quantitative MR imaging techniques that permit the formation of maps of underlying MR parameters such as tissue longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) relaxation time, have the ability to detect early...

Introduction In functional neuroimaging, it is of great interest to combine EEG and fMRI, to take advantage of the high temporal resolution of EEG and high spatial resolution of fMRI [1]. For the integration, it is desirable to acquire EEG and fMRI in a single session to avoid possible discrepancies due to different environmental and cognitive states in separate examinations. However, simultane...

FeDCOR (Federation of DSpace using CORDRA) is a registry-based federation system for DSpace instances. It is based on the CORDRA model. The first article in this issue of D-Lib Magazine describes the Advanced Distributed Learning-Registry (ADL-R) [1], which is the first operational CORDRA registry, and also includes an introduction to CORDRA. That introduction, or other prior knowledge of the C...

Sometimes early handedness before 1 year of life, or a visual gaze preference that looks as if the child is gazing at people with his or her head turned to one side, may be an important sign that a young child has Sturge-Weber syndrome brain involvement. Parents have reported bringing these clues to the attention of their pediatrician, only to be told that everything is okay. More commonly, the...

Although ubiquitous, bacteria of the Weissella genus are not given sufficient attention. Many members of the genus were originally classified as Leuconostoc or Lactobacillus. With the development of molecular methods, these phylogenetically closely related bacteria formed a separate group, the Weissella genus. Due to its heterofermentative metabolism, Weissella spp. may cause considerable damag...
