Dramatic events in human prehistory, such as the spread of agriculture to Europe from Anatolia and the Late Neolithic/Bronze Age (LNBA) migration from the Pontic-Caspian steppe, can be investigated using patterns of genetic variation among the people that lived in those times. In particular, studies of differing female and male demographic histories on the basis of ancient genomes can provide i...

The distribution patterns of taxa belonging to the section Hypoglottidei DC. were investigated using DIVA-GIS software. Based on Zohary classification, five global patterns, with the exception of widely distributed species, include 1. Centro-Asiatic province, 2. Irano-Anatolian province, 3. Pontic province, 4. East Mediterranean subregion and 5. West Mediterranean subregion, were identified. In...

A 26-year-old woman with an 8-year history of untreated multiple sclerosis (MS) presented acute-onset continuous involuntary wavelike movements on the right side her face (video). Neurologic examination revealed right-sided hemifacial myokymia (CFM), no concurrent spasm. MRI documented a new nonenhancing lesion in dorsolateral pontine tegmentum and supratentorial demyelinating lesions (figure, ...
