Atypical celiac disease (ACD) presenting in childhood has rarely been documented from India. The present retrospective study analyzed features of atypical celiac disease over a 5-year period. Patients were diagnosed to have Celiac Disease (CD) as per the standard ESPGHAN criteria. The biochemical and hematological parameters of the cohort of children presenting with atypical features (ACD) were...

Many stem cells divide asymmetrically in order to balance self-renewal with differentiation. The essence of asymmetric cell division (ACD) is the polarization of cells and subsequent division, leading to unequal compartmentalization of cellular/extracellular components that confer distinct cell fates to daughter cells. Because precocious cell division before establishing cell polarity would lea...

Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is one of the common causes of facial swelling. Clinical clues for diagnosing ACD include a rash that spares the area behind the ears, nasolabial folds, and under the chin. Once clinicians suspect ACD, the substances that cause contact dermatitis should be avoided.

Actin Crosslinking Domain (ACD) is produced by several life-threatening Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria as part of larger toxins and delivered into the cytoplasm of eukaryotic host cells via Type I or Type VI secretion systems. Upon delivery, ACD disrupts the actin cytoskeleton by catalyzing intermolecular amide bond formation between E270 and K50 residues of actin, leading to the formation o...

Increasing evidence focuses on acetaldehyde (ACD) as the mediator of the rewarding and motivational properties of ethanol. Indeed, ACD stimulates dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens and it is self-administered under different conditions. Besides the dopaminergic transmission, the endocannabinoid system has been reported to play an important role in ethanol central effects, modulating prim...

Objective To compare the effects of Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) and Scleral Buckling (SB) with reference to Central Corneal Thickness (CCT), Corneal Endothelial-Cell Density (CED), Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD) and Axial Length (AL) in repair of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment (RRD). Methods This comparative cross sectional analytical study was conducted at Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalm...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Over the past decade, the combination of active compression decompression (ACD) cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and an impedance threshold device (ITD) has been shown to significantly increase vital organ perfusion pressures and survival rates in animals and humans. The purpose of this review article is to summarize the recent advances with this new technology. RECENT FI...

introduction: iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (acd) is a nightmare in interventional cardiology. although acd is rarely reported, the real-world prevalence is suspected of being higher due to unreported cases. the right coronary artery (rca) ostium is involved in the majority of cases, and dissections are usually limited to the aortic sinus in half of the clinical presentations. there are d...

Background Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is often under-recognized in the pediatric population. In the first years of life ACD it is often confused with other types of dermatitis, such as irritant dermatitis or atopic eczema (AE). In the last two decades an increase in ACD in children and adolescents was observed, reaching similar frequencies to those seen in adults (20-70%). ACD acquired i...

One of the main goals of cataract surgery is to achieve the planned postoperative refraction, thus minimizing the prediction error to prevent large refractive surprises. Uncertainty of the postoperative intraocular lens (IOL) position (described by postoperative anterior chamber depth [ACD]) is one of the unavoidable errors that arise when planning the diopter of the IOL. It can cause a postope...
