22 Graph theory has recently received a lot of attention from the neuroscience community as a method to 23 represent and characterize brain networks. Still, there is a lack of a gold standard for the methods that 24 should be employed for the preprocessing of the data and the construction of the networks, as well as 25 a lack of knowledge on how different methodologies can affect the metrics re...

Mortality rates of eggs and nauplii are essential for understanding and modelling dynamics of copepod populations. Abundances of Calanus finmarchicus females, eggs and nauplii were determined at 88 stations in the Labrador Sea. Egg production rates (EPRs) and egg and naupliar stage durations were calculated using published relationships with in situ chlorophyll concentration and temperature. Th...

The condition is epilepsy. While drugs exist to control seizure problems, they don’t work for 40% of Canadian epileptics. As a result, these patients have to consider surgical removal of the brain lesions, or scar tissues, that cause seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used in hospitals across the country to help neurologists and neurosurgeons find the lesions. MR images are produced ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate differences in the effect of intravenous (IV) thrombolysis regarding the mismatch of diffusion-weighted imaging-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (DWI-FLAIR) among acute ischemic stroke patients who visited the emergency department (ED) within 3 hours from the onset of symptoms. METHODS Among ED patients presenting with an acute ischemic stroke between January 2011 ...

Human CD93 is a heavily O-glycosylated type I transmembrane protein consisting of unique C-type lectin domains (CTLDs) containing glycoprotein. CD93 is mainly expressed on myeloid cells (monocytes and granulocytes) and endothelial cells. However, the expression patterns of CD93 on various other kinds of cells are not well understood. In this study, we found that CD93 was recognized by a CD93 mo...

Background Radiotherapy (RT) is the primary treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, it can cause implicit RT-induced injury by irradiating normal brain tissue. To date, there have been no detailed reports on radiated exact location in brain, corresponding radiation dose, and their relationship. Methods We analyzed 803 Chinese NPC patients treated with RT used a CT template Montre...
