Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy with a worldwide incidence of 0.81-1.89 per 100 000 person-years. In Europe and North America only 5% of patients with GBS have axonal subtypes, which in South America and Asia account for 30%-47% of cases. The aim of our study is to assess the annual incidence and...

The Equatorial portion of the Mid Atlantic Ridge is displaced by a series of large offset oceanic transforms, also called "megatransforms". These transform domains are characterized by a wide zone of deformation that may include different conjugated fault systems and intra-transform spreading centers (ITRs). Among these megatransforms, the...

Abstract: The geological and geophysical data acquired during cruise 45 of R/V Akademik Nikolaj Strakhov regarding the structure of the Doldrums megatransform system in the Central Atlantic are presented. Taking into account the data of the previous expeditions, the structure of this region is examined in detail. The bathymetric data confirm...

Abstract: The geological and geophysical data obtained during the 50th cruise of R/V Akademik Nikolaj Strakhov on the Charlie Gibbs megatransform system structure in the North Atlantic are presented. The structure of the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone was examined in detail, considering previously published data. It has been shown that the...

The Charlie Gibbs offsetting by ~ 340 km the Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) axis at 52°-53° N is one of the main transform systems of the North Atlantic. Located between long mid-ocean ridge segments influenced from the south by the Azores and from the north by the Iceland mantle plumes, this transform system has been active since the early phases of...

This study investigates crustal accretion processes along the northern stretch of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) between the Charlie Gibbs (52°-53°N) and Bight (57°N) transforms. These long-lived transform systems, active for more than 40 Ma, bound a ~ 550 km-long MAR segment influenced to the South by the Azores and to the North by the Iceland...
