THE CONTRIBUTION OF WHITE MATTER PATHOLOGY, HYPOPERFUSION, LESION LOAD, AND STROKE RECURRENCE TO LANGUAGE DEFICITS FOLLOWING ACUTE SUBCORTICAL LEFT HEMISPHERE STROKE.

The contribution of white matter pathology, hypoperfusion, lesion load, and stroke recurrence to language deficits following acute subcortical left hemisphere stroke.

Aphasia, the loss of language ability following damage to the brain, is among the most disabling and common consequences of stroke.Subcortical stroke, occurring in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and/or deep white matter can result in aphasia, often characterized by word fluency, motor speech output, or sentence generation impairments.The link between

L-Band Microwave Satellite Data and Model Simulations Over the Dry Chaco to Estimate Soil Moisture, Soil Temperature, Vegetation, and Soil Salinity

The tinsupe Dry Chaco in South America is a semi-arid ecoregion prone to dryland salinization.In this region, we investigated coarse-scale surface soil moisture (SM), soil temperature, soil salinity, and vegetation, using L-band microwave brightness temperature (TB) observations and retrievals from the soil moisture ocean salinity (SMOS) and soil m

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana reduces instantaneous blood feeding in wild multi-insecticide-resistant Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes in Benin, West Africa

Abstract Background Mosquito-borne diseases are still a major health risk in many developing countries, and the emergence of multi-insecticide-resistant mosquitoes is threatening the future of vector control.Therefore, new tools that can manage resistant mosquitoes are required.Laboratory studies show that entomopathogenic fungi can kill insecticid
