Introduction: Reports indicate that 22%–64% of travelers experience some illness when in a foreign country. To date, no prior study has reported the use of ambulances by travelers or the epidemiology of travel-related injury. Methods: In this retrospective study, we aimed to describe ambulance use by international travelers, including the rates of travel-...

Illusions of inappriopriate familiarity with the current experience or hallucinatory recall of memories have been reported in temporal lobe epilepsies. Pathophysiological hypotheses have been put forward, involving either the limbic regions of the temporal lobe (Jackson), the temporal neocortex ("interpretive cortex", Penfield), or both (Bancaud). New data, acquired in the course of presurgical...

Internal waves scatter sound by two related perturbations: I) those associated with vertical particle displacements '(x, y, z, t) in the presence of a vertical gradient of (potential) sound speed(&: = ,o,cp); and 2) those associated with horizontal particle velocities u(x, y, z, t). The combined fractional perturbation in propagation velocity is 8c/c + u/c. The second term, generally neglected,...

international travel has become increasingly common and accessible, hence, about two billion passengers undertake international and domestic air travel each year. venous thromboembolism (vte) is a serious public health disorder which may occur following prolonged travel, especially after air travel. a direct relation between vte development and prolonged travels has been documented, while some ...

Decisions in automated logistic systems can be improved based on knowledge of real-time state of individual parts and also environmental factors. These knowledge can be obtained through travel time of edges by individual robots which represents the utility based costs in the system. Our work focuses on identifying cost coefficients in an autonomous multi-robot system used for internal transport...

In Charles Dickens's novels, nervous seizures trigger dreamy, clairvoyant episodes in which normally imperceptible connections and relations among events and characters come to light. During such episodes, which the neurologist John Hughlings Jackson would describe as "voluminous" states of consciousness, the boundaries of the self dissolve, and the mind becomes attuned to a range of possible i...

We investigated the capacity of internal border control to limit influenza spread in an emergent pandemic in the context of Australia, a country with a low-population density and geopolitical boundaries that may facilitate restrictions. Mathematical models were used to study the time delay between epidemics in 2 population centers when travel restrictions were imposed. The models demonstrated t...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between travel (recency of travel, transmission intensity at destination compared to origin and duration of travel) and confirmed malaria in Uganda. METHODS Health facility-based case-control study in highland (~2200 m), and highland fringe (~1500 m) areas with adjustment for other covariates. RESULTS In the highland site, patients who had travelled to a...
