Primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) are rare genetic diseases of the immune system. With improving awareness of PIDs among clinicians, the number of patients diagnosed with PIDs is rising rapidly in Southeast Asia. However, delayed diagnosis remains common and adversely affects the prognosis of these patients. In this review, we provide simple phenotypic approach to the diagnosis of PIDs ...

Yunnan Province in China borders 3 countries (Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar) in Southeast Asia. In the 1980s, a large-scale rabies epidemic occurred in this province, which subsided by the late 1990s. However, 3 human cases of rabies in 2000 indicated reemergence of the disease in 1 county. In 2012, rabies was detected in 77 counties; 663 persons died of rabies during this new epidemic.

We, NMFS, have completed a comprehensive status review of the Southeast Alaska Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Based upon the best scientific and commercial data available, we conclude that listing the Southeast Alaska DPS of Pacific herring is not warranted at this time. We also announce the availability of the stat...

Mainland Southeast Asia is often viewed as a linguistic area where five different language phyla – Austroasiatic, Austronesian, Hmong-Mien, Sino-Tibetan and Kra-Dai – have converged typologically. This chapter illustrates areal features found in their prosodic systems, but also emphasizes their oft-understated diversity. The first part of the chapter describes word level prosodic properties. A ...

The recent emergence of a new strain (H5N1) of influenza A virus, the so-called avian or bird flu, in Hong Kong underlines the importance of the Southeast Asia region as an epicenter not only for influenza A viruses but also for other microbial agents. In late 1992, Vibrio cholerae O139 appeared on the Indian subcontinent; and within a few months, it had spread to China, Nepal, Pakistan, Malays...
