An interesting case of familial periodic paralysis came under my care quite recently and incidentally illustrated the hereditary nature of the disease. As the condition is so rare, a resume of the main features of the disease may be given. The disease is seldom seen; only 200 cases have been reported so far. It is characterized by a temporary flaccid paralysis of the muscles of the extremities ...

Insulinoma is a rare, usually benign, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. The clinical features of an insulinoma are fasting hypoglycemia with neuroglycopenic symptoms including confusion and unusual behavior, while hypertension is usually not associated with the disease. We herein report a patient with insulinoma who manifested paroxysmal hypertension and neuroglycopenic symptoms. The possible et...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate a damped Korteweg-de‎ ‎Vries equation with forcing on a periodic domain‎ ‎$mathbb{T}=mathbb{R}/(2pimathbb{Z})$‎. ‎We can obtain that if the‎ ‎forcing is periodic with small amplitude‎, ‎then the solution becomes‎ ‎eventually time-periodic.

in this study, the effect of several species of fermenting yeast and fermentation conditions (periodic aeration and temperature) on quality parameters of non-alcoholic beer is assessed. yeast starters with different inoculation percent were added separately into wort with determined gravity. wort was fermented for 48 h in different temperatures under aerobic condition or periodic aeration (ever...

A case ofyoung (20 years old) nale presenting with dranratic onset ofweakness in all the linùs is presented. Patient had three such episodes in the past 2 years lasting for 4-6 hrs. There was no fanùly history of such weakness. A diagnosis of hypolcnlaettùc periodic paralysis was made. Patient was given intravenous potassiun4 intproved considerably and put on acetazolailûde prophylafis. The cas...

This paper discusses a multispecies discrete Gilpin-Ayala mutualism system with feedback controls. We firstly obtain the permanence of the system. Assuming that the coefficients in the system are almost periodic positive sequences, we obtain the sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique almost periodic positive solution which is globally attractive.

Introduction: Millions of Muslims across the world observe Islamic fasting during the holy month of Ramadan, as well as the other specific dates in the lunar calendar year. While fasting during this month, Muslims refrain from eating or drinking from dawn to dusk. Islamic fasting is similar to alternate day fasting (ADF) since it incorporates an average of 12 hours of fasting and 12 hours of fe...

Dietary interventions have not been effective in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, we show that periodic 3-day cycles of a fasting mimicking diet (FMD) are effective in ameliorating demyelination and symptoms in a murine experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model. The FMD reduced clinical severity in all mice and completely reversed symptoms in 20% of animals. These imp...
