BACKGROUND Delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL) is a demyelinating syndrome characterized by neurological relapse after an initial recovery from hypoxic brain injury. We describe a patient with impaired consciousness following DPHL, concurrent with injury of the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) shown using diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). CASE PRESENTATION A 50-year...

Few studies have focused on the post-eruption evolution of maar craters and associated lake level changes, although breaching crater rim poses mass-flow flood hazards long after initial eruption. Lake Pavin is a in French Massif central formed by an eruption c. 6700 years ago.

• Authors focus on An. arabiensis as the major malaria vector in the area. However, no data is provided regarding other potential malaria vectors that could play an important role on malaria transmission at the Gilgel-Gibe dam site, as An. funestus and An. nili species complex. Were these species collected during the two years entomological survey at all? In the conclusions, it is stated that t...

BACKGROUND We report on a patient who developed aggravation of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) concurrent with aggravation of an injured ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) following mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), demonstrated by follow-up diffusion tensor tractographies (DTTs). METHODS A 42-year-old male patient experienced head trauma resulting from flexion-hyperextension in...

The ubiquitous lakes across China’s Yangtze Plain (YP) are indispensable freshwater resources sustaining ecosystems and socioeconomics for nearly half a billion people. Our recent survey revealed a widespread net decline in the total YP lake inundation area during 2000–2011 (a cumulative decrease of 10%), yet its mechanism remained contentious. Here we uncover the impacts of climate variability...

The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors associated with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS). Information about the study participants was extracted from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan for the years 1999 through 2011. We conducted this retrospective cohort study of patients with ARAS to identify...
