(J Clin Neurophysiol, 2015-04)
PURPOSE: To identify the probability of detecting nonconvulsive seizures based on
the initial pattern seen in the first 30 minutes of continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring.
METHODS: Continuous EEG monitoring reports from 243 ...

diseases in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have not ...
Differential developmental trajectories of magnetic susceptibility in human brain gray and white matter over the lifespan.
(Hum Brain Mapp, 2014-06)
As indicated by several recent studies, magnetic susceptibility of the brain is influenced
mainly by myelin in the white matter and by iron deposits in the deep nuclei. Myelination
and iron deposition in the brain evolve ...
Hepatic histological findings in suspected drug-induced liver injury: systematic evaluation and clinical associations.
(Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.), 2014-02)
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is considered to be a diagnosis of exclusion. Liver

Functional Variants in Notch Pathway Genes NCOR2, NCSTN, and MAML2 Predict Survival of Patients with Cutaneous Melanoma.
(Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev, 2015-07)
BACKGROUND: The Notch signaling pathway is constitutively activated in human cutaneous
melanoma to promote growth and aggressive metastatic potential of primary melanoma
cells. Therefore, genetic variants in Notch pathway ...
Low tobacco-related cancer incidence in offspring of long-lived siblings: a comparison with Danish national cancer registry data.

PURPOSE: Familial clustering of longevity is well documented and includes both genetic
and other familial factors, but the specific underlying mechanisms are largely unknown.
We examined whether low incidence of specific ...
