Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is one of natural foci diseases transmitted by ticks. Its distribution and transmission are closely related to geographic and environmental factors. Identification of environmental determinates of TBE is of great importance to understanding the general distribution of existing and potential TBE natural foci. Hulunbuir, one of the most severe endemic areas of the di...

We evaluated whether intake of an ethanolic extract of Taheebo (TBE) from Tabebuia avellanedae protects against body weight increase and fat accumulation in mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. Four-week old male C57BL/6 mice were fed a HFD (25% fat, w/w) for 11 weeks. The diet of control (HFD) mice was supplemented with vehicle (0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose by gavage); the die...

BACKGROUND Although vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) was introduced in 1986, Slovenia remains one of the countries with the highest reported incidence rates. For exposed occupationally or during education/training, vaccination is reimbursed by employer or within mandatory health insurance, while others have to pay. Our aim was to obtain the first national estimate of self-repor...

Of 250 consecutively admitted patients with central nervous system (CNS) infections who were treated during a 1-year period, all 133 patients with tickborne encephalitis (TBE) were included in a prospective follow-up study. TBE presented as mild (meningeal) in 43.6% of patients and as moderate or severe (encephalitic) in 43.6% and 12.8% of patients, respectively. Paralytic disease was observed ...

Pm-pose: T&o&g is employed to provide unsightly oxseas with a central srtificial pupil or to reduce glare from a parscentral leucoms. The technique is to apply platinum (or gold) chloride to the designated area sfter an epitbelial debridement and subsequently to apply a reducing agent. This procedure is nowadays tmcmnmon in tbe western world, but is still popular in some countries. According to...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is an emerging disease in Europe as in Poland, especially in north-eastern part of the country. The aim of the study was to characterize the epidemiology and clinical features of TBE in this region. METHODS Clinical and epidemiological data of 687 patients hospitalized between 1993 and 2008 at the Department of Infectious Diseases and Neuro...

One of the celebrated applications of Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) is the Canetti, Halevi, and Katz (CHK) transformation from any (selective-identity secure) IBE scheme into a full chosen-ciphertext secure encryption scheme. Since such IBE schemes in the standard model are known from previous work this immediately provides new chosen-ciphertext secure encryption schemes in the standard model...

Dear Editor: With great interest, I have gone through the paper titled, “Prevalence of tick-borne encephalitis virus in ixodid ticks collected from the Republic of Korea during 2011‒2012,” by Yun et al [1]. Yun et al [1] reported that the minimum infection rate (MIR) of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) from a tick was 0.08%. The MIR from Haemaphysalis longicornis, a tick species that constitutes m...
