Background. Deficiency of 11β-hydroxylase is the second most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), presenting with hypertension, hypokalaemia, precocious puberty, and adrenal insufficiency. We report the case of a 6-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis (CF) found to have hypertension and cortisol insufficiency, which were initially suspected to be due to CAH, but were subsequently identified as being secondary to posaconazole therapy. Case Presentation. A 6-year-old boy with CF was noted...

Efforts to restore tropical peat swamp forests in Indonesia face huge challenges of potential failures due to socio-economic factors and ecological dynamics attributed to lack of knowledge on the adaptive mech...
Although a relationship between Helicobacter pylori and oral malodor has been suggested, it remains to be confirmed. One reason for this is that many studies assess oral malodor subjectively. Another reason for t...
Glycaemic Index (GI) ranks the body’s response to carbohydrate content in food such that high GI food increases postprandial blood glucose levels. One of the popular drinks at food and beverage outlets is a dr...

In December 2019 a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that is causing the current COVID-19 pandemic was identified in Wuhan, China. Many questions have been raised about its origin and adaptation to humans. In the...

Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is a frequent cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). In patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS), AKI demands the differential diagnosis between ATN and rapidly progressive glomeruloneph...
Few data are available on the association between SARS-CoV-2 and secondary bacterial infections. Such an association was described for flu and invasive meningococcal disease (IMD). We aimed exploring such a co...

Abstract The knapping experiments with Kanzi, a bonobo, are among the most insightful experiments into Oldowan technology ever undertaken. Comparison of his artifacts against archeological material, however, indicated he did not produce Oldowan lithic attributes precisely, prompting suggestions that this indicated cognitive or biomechanical impediments. The literature describing the learning environment provided to Kanzi, we suggest, indicates alternative factors. Based on consideration of wild...

Abstract Burns are a public health problem, with second-degree burns as one of the most common types. Although intense inflammation worsens burn healing, effective therapies are scarce. Thus, infections and hypertrophic scars may occur, which compromise patient quality of life and may delay healing. Argon atmospheric plasma (AP) has been shown to positively influence wound healing. In the context of identifying effective and alternative therapies for the treatment of second-degree...
Abstract Monocytes’ plasticity has an important role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease exhibiting greater prevalence in women. Contribution of this phenomenon to sex bias in RA severity was investigated in rat collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model of RA. The greater severity of CIA in females (exhibiting signs of bone resorption) was accompanied by the higher blood level of advanced oxidation protein...

ObjectivesWork-related lung diseases (WRLDs) are entirely preventable. To assess the impact of WRLDs on the US transplant system, we identified adult lung transplant recipients with a WRLD diagnosis specified at the time of transplant to describe demographic, payer and clinical characteristics of these patients and to assess post-transplant survival.MethodsUsing US registry data from 1991 to 2018, we identified lung transplant recipients with WRLDs including coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, silicosis,...

Abstract Converging evidence suggests opioid abuse can increase the incidence and severity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in clinical populations. Interestingly, opioid withdrawal alone can produce symptoms similar to those of PTSD. Despite this association, the neural mechanisms underlying the relationship of opioid abuse, withdrawal, and PTSD is poorly understood. Our laboratory has investigated the neurobiological underpinnings of stress-enhanced fear learning (SEFL),...
Abstract Opioid drugs are a first-line treatment for severe acute pain and other chronic pain conditions, but long-term opioid drug use produces opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH). Co-administration of cannabinoids with opioid receptor agonists produce anti-nociceptive synergy, but cannabinoid receptor agonists may also produce undesirable side effects. Therefore, positive allosteric modulators (PAM) of cannabinoid type-1 receptors (CB1R) may provide an option reducing pain and/or...

Edoxaban is the fourth approved Direct Oral AntiCoagulant (DOAC) that has been introduced into the European market (2015), after dabigatran (2008), rivaroxaban (2008) and apixaban (2011). Dabigatran is the only direct thrombin inhibitor, whereas apixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban are factor-Xa inhibitors. In a few years DOACs' use steadily increased in clinical practice for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in adult patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) [1], as well...
Fabry disease is a rare lysosomal storage X-linked genetic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the α-galactosidase A gene (α-Gal A) resulting glycolipid accumulation (mainly globotriaosylceramide or globotriaosylsphingosine) within cell lysosomes. Two Fabry Disease phenotypes in males include a severe form (1:22,570 males) characterized by reduced α-Gal A activity and accumulation of Gb3 in vascular endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes, smooth muscle cells, and podocytes resulting in progressive...

Xavier SistachLas moscas buscan los excrementos y exudaciones de otros animales y los rondan buscando un lugar donde poner sus huevos. Sus larvas pueden crecer en las heces y en diversos materiales en descomposición, entre ellos nuestros restos mortales si no son quemados o embalsamados. De hecho no les importa demasiado si estamos muertos o no, porque si encuentran un resquicio en nuestra piel o mucosas donde depositar sus larvas, es muy posible que lo hagan. Algunas especies se especializan en...

AbstractHere we present the case of a 29-year-old female patient who underwent to laparoscopic reduction of idhiopatic jejuno-jenunal intussusception, a very rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adults. Laparoscopic exploration represents the best approach in adults. Unfortunately, manoeuvres of laparoscopic reduction are difficult and conversion to laparotomy is often needed.
AbstractWe present a series of patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis caused by a duplicated pancreatic head connected to a gastric duplication and successfully treated by conservative surgery. This retrospective study included consecutive adult patients referred to our institution for recurrent acute pancreatitis. All patients underwent a preoperative non-invasive imaging examination including contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). The final...
AbstractA 24-year-old male with an idiopathic renal Fanconi syndrome presented to our ER after a low-energetic fall. Conventional imaging revealed a right subtrochanteric femoral fracture, severely decreased bone quality and cannulated collum femoris screws on the contralateral side. Regular plate-screw osteosynthesis or cephalomedullary implantation was deemed insufficient, due to a high iatrogenic and periprosthetic fracture probability. The decision was made to perform a plate-screw osteosynthesis...

We report a rare case of disseminated herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection in an extremely preterm neonate. Herpes Simplex Virus-2 (HSV-2) is the leading cause of genital ulcer disease in adults and is the most common cause of neonatal herpes, a rare infection associated with long-term neurologic impairment and high mortality. HSV-2 can be transmitted perinatally via direct mucosal or skin contact. Most neonates are infected intrapartum. However, intrauterine transmission does occur, though rarely....
