Longitudinal neuroimaging investigation of fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability and autism, provides an opportunity to study the influence of a specific genetic factor on neurodevelopment in the living human brain. We examined voxel-wise gray and white matter volumes (GMV, WMV) over a 2-year period in 1- to 3-year-old boys with FXS (n = 41) and co...

Although, acquired amusia is a common deficit following stroke, relatively little is still known about its precise neural basis, let alone to its recovery. Recently, we performed a voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM) and morphometry (VBM) study which revealed a right lateralized lesion pattern, and longitudinal gray matter volume (GMV) and white matter volume (WMV) changes that were speci...

Ali, A., Mohammad, O., and Khattab, A. 2012. Distribution of viruses infecting cucurbit crops and isolation of potential new virus-like sequences from weeds in Oklahoma. Plant Dis. 96:243-248. Field surveys were conducted from 2008 to 2010 to detect and determine the incidence of viruses in the major cucurbit-growing areas of Oklahoma. In total, 1,049 symptomatic leaf samples (890 from cucurbit...

REFERENCES A photograph of third-stage (L3) Anisakis simplex larvae in the gastric cavity of BALB/c mice is provided here. Anisakis nematodes (Figure A; arrows) are white and cylindrical and measure approximately 2 to 3 centimeters in length. Human anisakiasis, an emerging disease often triggered by eating fi sh infected with Anisakis sp., is not widely studied in Latin America. Mouse models ha...

cost effectiveness of this type of dialysis, which was the main goal of our development of the technique in a cash-starved National Health Service in the United Kingdom. Dear Sir, Precedent claims are rarely correct, thus the statement by Drs Schlapper and DiazBuxo in the January 2005 issue of Blood Purifi cation [1] , that Uldall et al. [2] established the fi rst nightly home haemodialysis pro...

In this paper, a new teleconference system by using Gigabit Ethernet based omni-directional camera system and flexible middleware system in realtime and bi-directional video transmission is introduced. The omni-directional image has more advantages than conventional one-directional camera in that it provides a wider view than a single directional camera and able to realize flexible teleconferen...
