Pisa syndrome is (PS) usually seen in patients receiving antipsychotic drugs and characterised by lateral flexion of trunk and axial dystonia. It is believed that antipsychotic drugs lead to dopamine blockage causing PS. We describe a Parkinson's disease patient who was doing well with levodopa/carbidopa for 3 years and developed lateral flexion of trunk. His abnormal posture used to completely...

BACKGROUND Sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps) may account for 20-30% of colon cancers. Although large SSA/Ps are generally recognized phenotypically, small (<1 cm) or dysplastic SSA/Ps are difficult to differentiate from hyperplastic or small adenomatous polyps by endoscopy and histopathology. Our aim was to define the comprehensive gene expression phenotype of SSA/Ps to better define th...

Lenz-Majewski syndrome (LMS) is a rare disease characterized by complex craniofacial, dental, cutaneous, and limb abnormalities combined with intellectual disability. Mutations in thePTDSS1gene coding one of the phosphatidylserine (PS) synthase enzymes, PSS1, were described as causative in LMS patients. Such mutations render PSS1 insensitive to feedback inhibition by PS levels. Here we show tha...

The aim of this review was to systematically evaluate the available scientific evidence on benefit mandibular advancement devices (MADs) in treatment primary snoring (PS). From 905 initially identified articles, 18 were selected. Papers that provided indirect information regarding obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and/or breathing disorders (SBD) included. Information obtained monoblock a...

BACKGROUND Epileptic syndromes with absence seizures (AS) possess unique clinical and electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics. In typical or atypical AS, ictal phenomenology may include various characteristics. Vídeo-EEG monitoring enables findings to be correlated with ictal phenomenology. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the different AS in a cohort of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE)...

Abstract. – OBJECTIVE: To investigate and discuss the effect of early treatment with pulmonary surfactant (PS) on oxygenation functions in neonates with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), to understand the expression trend of serum transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7) in children with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), and to p...

Piper sarmentosum (PS) is a traditional medicinal herb used by South East Asians. It demonstrates promising properties against various non-communicable diseases and infectious agents due to its antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties. Given that oxidative stress inflammation are involved in developing exacerbating metabolic syndrome (MetS) principal components (central obesity, hyperglycaemia,...
