   Rise in malaria incidence rates in South Africa: a small-area spatial analysis of variation in time trends

   Relevance:

   Using Bayesian statistical models, the authors investigated spatial and temporal variations in small-area malaria incidence rates for the period mid-1986 to mid-1999 for two districts in northern KwaZ

2. Muscle force up to 50% of maximum does not affect cutaneous silent periods in thenar muscles (Publications)

   Muscle force up to 50% of maximum does not affect cutaneous silent periods in thenar muscles

   Relevance:

   OBJECTIVE: The cutaneous silent period (CSP) is a spinal inhibitory reflex mediated by A-delta fibers. The amount of muscle contraction has been reported to influence CSPs, but this has not been confi
