Stroke etiology among Haitians living in Miami.

abstract：:Mortality rates from motor neuron disease (MND) in Spain were analysed for the years 1960-1989, a period in which 3,530 deaths were recorded from the disease and during which the crude annual mortality rate ranged between 0.35 and 0.95 deaths per 100,000 persons. Whilst the crude mortality rate fell by 54% during the ...
