BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is the most common type of sporadic encephalitis worldwide, and it remains fatal even when optimal antiviral therapy is applied. There is only a weak consensus on the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors in patients with HSE. This study examined whether the radiological and electrophysiological findings have a prognostic value in pati...

OBJECTIVE To elucidate the value of early computed tomographic (CT) signs of stroke in predicting the occlusion site in the cerebral arteries. PATIENTS 105 consecutive patients with acute embolic stroke affecting the anterior circulation. METHODS Four early signs were evaluated on cranial CT within six hours of stroke onset: loss of the insular ribbon (LIR); attenuation of the lentiform nuc...

The DNA-binding and transcriptional activities of the heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) are repressed under normal conditions and rapidly upregulated by heat stress. Here, we tested for the ability of various stress agents to activate HSF1 in the Xenopus oocyte model system. The HSE-binding activity of HSF1 was induced by a number of chemical stresses including cadmium, aluminum, iron, m...

Background: This study aimed to provide a comprehensive tool for the economic evaluation of investments in health, safety, and environment (HSE). Methods: developmental cross-sectional was conducted on costs benefits HSE combined cycle power plant Gilan province, 2021. The components preventive measure (PMCs) occupational accidents, diseases, environmental pollution (ADPCs) were determined by a...

INTRODUCTION Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. No recent evaluation of hospital incidence, acute mortality and morbidity is available. In particular, decompressive craniectomy has rarely been proposed in cases of life-threatening HSE with temporal herniation, in the absence of evidence. This study aimed to assess the hospital incidence and mortality of H...

To investigate the influence of maternal Se supply and plane of nutrition on lamb morbidity, mortality, and passive transfer of IgG, pregnant ewe lambs were used in 2 experiments with 2 × 3 factorial treatment arrangements. Supplementation of Se began at breeding and was either adequate Se (ASe, 9.5 μg/kg of BW) or high Se (HSe, 81.8 μg/kg of BW) in Exp. 1 or ASe (11.5 µg/kg of BW) or HSe (77.0...

A recent review of the self-esteem literature suggests that high self-esteem (HSE) is a heterogeneous construct with adaptive and harmful aspects. One promising solution to addressing this heterogeneity is to consider two types of HSE: secure and insecure. Operationalized here as the interaction of self-esteem and narcissism, insecure HSE should predict maladaptive outcomes. Two studies explore...
