Mosquito-borne infections often have concerted peaks, or are synchronous, across landscapes. This phenomenon might be driven by vector responses to similar environmental conditions that synchronize their abundance. While adult mosquito populations can be synchronous over spatial scales ranging from a few meters to a few kilometers, little to…[Read more]

Prognostic factors for recurrence were broadly similar for patients with and without atrial fibrillation. Age in categories 80 years (HR 1.19, 95% CI 0.91-1.55), nursing home residency (HR 1.48, 95% CI 1.02-2.13), and Scandinavian Stroke Scale score (‘mild’ versus ‘moderate’ (HR 1.40, 95% CI 1.13-1.72) and ‘severe’ (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.61-2.39))…[Read more]

BACKGROUND The hepatic and pulmonary MALT lymphoma (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma) is clinically occasionally observed but its pathogenesis is unknown and thought to be important to establish the treatment strategy. OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to clarify the characteristics of these lymphomas and the effect of…[Read more]

3 million; however, of these individuals, 7.3 million were alive in 1980 and only 3.5 million alive in 2018. The number of individuals ever infected due to PAT exposure was 963 900, with 850 200 individuals alive in 1980 and only 389 800 alive in 2018. The proportion of PAT-attributed prevalent infections peaked at 19.9% in 1972, declining to 5.5%…[Read more]
