Traumatic brain injury is widely viewed as a risk factor for dementia, but the biological mechanisms underlying this association are still unclear. In previous studies, traumatic brain injury has been associated with the hallmark pathologies of Alzheimer's disease, i.e.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers analyzed HLA genotypes in 99 type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients and 200 control subjects from Mali using next-generation sequencing, discovering strong associations between several HLA loci and T1D, primarily in class II genes.
  • The study found that certain alleles like HLA-DRB1*03:01 and HLA-B*27:05 are linked to T1D risk, although previous findings suggested different effects, indicating potential complexities related to genetic linkages in this population.
  • Amino acid-level analyses indicated that the HLA-C locus shows unique polymorphisms compared to HLA-A and HLA-B, suggesting it may have a distinct influence on T1D risk, highlighting

The aim of this paper is to obtain polynomial decay of correlations of a Lorenz-like flow where the hyperbolic saddle at the origin is replaced by a neutral saddle. To do that, we take the construction of the geometrical Lorenz flow and proceed by changing the nature of the saddle fixed point at the origin by a neutral fixed point. This modification is accomplished by changing the linearised vector field in a neighbourhood of the origin for a neutral vector field.

Background: The clinical decision-making of non-conveyance is perceived as complex and difficult by emergency medical services (EMS) professionals. Patients with a transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) based on syncope constitute a significant part of the non-conveyance population. Risk stratification is the basis of the clinical decision-making process by EMS professionals.

We prove limit laws for infinite horizon planar periodic Lorentz gases when, as time tends to infinity, the scatterer size may also tend to zero simultaneously at a sufficiently slow pace. In particular we obtain a non-standard Central Limit Theorem as well as a Local Limit Theorem for the displacement function. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first results on an intermediate case between the two well-studied regimes with superdiffusive scaling (i) for fixed infinite horizon configurations-letting first and then -studied e.
