Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Background: Naegleria fowleri is a high-temperature freshwater-living amoeba causing PAM by invading nasal epithelium. N. fowleri lives ubiquitously in high-temperature freshwater, but only around 400 cases of PAM have been published worldwide. The mortality rate is 98%. No treatment is 100% effective. Case Presentation: A previously healthy 17-year-old female presented to an urgent care center with fever, headache, sore throat, ear pain, and dizziness. She had swum in freshwater 5 days prior.

Be Alert To Alerd: Acute Leukoencephalopathy With Restricted Diffusion - Atypical Presentation Of A Rare Case, Neena Baby, Sachin Ajith, Lovena Mohammed, Robin Thomas, Anil Kumar Divakar, Poornima Prabhu, Sureshkumar Radhakrishnan

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Background: Acute leukoencephalopathy with restricted diffusion (ALERD) is a novel entity observed in children with acute encephalopathy. It is characterized by diffusion restriction on MRI, which can be the distinctive and sometimes the only imaging finding. Other routine MRI sequences may appear normal. ALERD can have infectious or noninfectious causes. In this case, we present a patient with infectious ALERD associated with Influenza B virus. Case Presentation: A 10-year-old male presented to the emergency room with a brief history of fever and cough, followed by altered sensorium. He was irritable and ataxic. Neck stiffness was elicited upon examination. An MRI …

Examining Neural Correlates Of Sexual Preferences Between Persian Homo- And Heterosexual Males Using Psychological Assessments And Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging In Specifying Cognitive Map: A Limited And Cross-Sectional Study, Abdollah Khorshidi

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Although the brain is an important part of a person’s sexual life, little is known about the correlations between sexual response and brain activation. This study examines brain response through clinical testing to reveal a number of brain structures whose activation are relevant to sexual arousal besides psychological testing according to the common traditional values and standards of Iranian society. Based on initial self-report, 25 homosexual and 25 heterosexual males participated in this test to elucidate the identity and sexual trends via Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). Also, an fMRI technique — by presenting distinct homo- and heterosexual sex erotic …

Keeping Children Safe: Bring Kayden's Law To Ohio, Christina Woods-Tsiperson

Akron Law Review

After decades of punishing murder-suicide headlines, a growing body of evidence now corroborates what female domestic violence survivors have said for years: that family courts deciding child custody cases disproportionately reject mothers’ allegations of domestic violence and paternal child abuse. From prominent legal scholars to local family law attorneys (and increasingly, investigative reporters), many modern voices contend that mothers specifically face a litany of obstacles in court, including heightened judicial suspicion that they are “parental alienators,” a widespread minimization of coercive control, and state legal standards that  emphasize shared parenting over child safety.

Following the widely publicized murder of seven-year-old …

Habitat Destruction: The Where Of Biodiversity Law, Andrew W. Torrance Ph.D., Bill Tomlinson Ph.D.

Akron Law Review

The existence of appropriate habitats is essential to the continued existence of all species with which humans share the Earth. However, humans are currently enacting changes around the globe--anthropogenic environmental disruption--that threaten the habitats of many species. In this article, we first summarize existing habitat-related law in various countries, including legal designation of areas for protection (e.g., national parks), laws that enable conservation organizations to purchase but not utilize development rights, and international treaties such as the Convention on Biological Diversity or the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance. We then propose a suite of novel approaches …
