Differential display polymerase chain reaction is technically challenging at a number of steps, including reliable reamplification of differentially expressed sequences after they are isolated from an acrylamide gel. As the only source of the sequence found to be of interest is the gel from which it was identified as being differentially expressed, failed attempts at reamplification can be part...

This paper presents using a new modified homotopy perturbation method (NHPM) for solving linear and nonlinear systems of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) of index one or higher index without index reduction. By using this scheme, explicit exact solution is calculated in the form of a convergent power series with easily computable components. Some examples are given to illustrate the simp...

Recently, a novel PCR-based technique, differential display (DD), has facilitated the study of differentially expressed genes at the mRNA level. We report here an improved version of DD, which we call Enhanced Differential Display (EDD). We have modified the technique to enhance reproducibility and to facilitate sequencing and cloning. Using EDD, we have generated and verified a catalog of gene...

objectives:the aim of this single case study is to describe a child with landau kleffner syndrome who misdiagnosed as a child with autism spectrum disorder. we also explore occupational therapy`s role in correct process for diagnosis and treatment. methods:three times measurement with autism treatment evaluation checklist was performed to measure severity of symptoms and compare treatment outco...

In this issue of ONCOLOGY, Dr. Kuter insightfully summarizes the differential diagnosis and management of thrombocytopenia in cancer patients.[1] Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia causes nearly two-thirds of cases of thrombocytopenia in the cancer setting.[2] In patients receiving chemotherapy, thrombocytopenia leads to dose reductions in 15% of treatment cycles and chemotherapy delays in 6...

Erythema ab igne (EAI) represents the stereotype of a modern technology induced disease. Originally produced by repeated exposure of the skin to a heat source, more often because of habits related to the job or personal activities, this condition now tends to occur more frequently, being associated with a variety of modern instruments. The aim of our report is to discuss this strange medical co...

Inflammation of the bicipitoradial bursa is a rare condition and only few reports can be found in literature. Several causes for a cubital bursitis have been suggested in the past. The need to include a malignant lesion in the differential diagnosis has only been mentioned in one of these reports. May main objective in reporting this case is to make this pathological entity better known.

Schwannomas, arising from nerve-sheath Schwann cells, rarely occur in the lip area. A Medline search in English literature from 1966 to 2002 revealed only 6 documented cases of schwannomas of the lip. We report the unusual case of a 22-year-old female patient who developed a schwannoma of the upper lip. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining studies were performed, with ...

The differential diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome requires careful multidisciplinary interaction with a number of specialities, co-ordinated through endocrine centres with good experience of this condition. It is essential that the diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome be fully established before differential diagnosis is attempted. The endocrinologist needs to be aware of the pitfalls and advantages ...
