loess and loess-like deposits cover large areas of golestan province of iran, a well-known region in the world for its high incidence rate of esophageal cancer (ec). despite numerous published works on the possible contributing factors for the observed high incidence rate, very little attention has been given so far to a possible link between the mineralogy of loess deposits in the region and e...

AIM To review the existing literature on the role and significance of intestinal transglutaminase 2 immunoglobulin A deposits (TG2 deposits) in patients with overt celiac disease (CD), potential celiac disease (PCD), and other autoimmune or gluten-related conditions. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of studies published in English, evaluating presence and characteristics of TG2 deposi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There has been little published information on risk factors for poor long-term outcome in adult biopsy-proven minimal change disease (MCD). METHODS Data from sixty-three adult, biopsy-proven primary MCD patients treated at a tertiary university hospital between 2003 and 2013 were analyzed. Baseline clinical and pathologic factors were assessed for the associations wi...

Doubly transgenic mice expressing both a mutated amyloid precursor protein and a mutated presenilin-1 protein accumulate A(beta) deposits as they age. The early A(beta) deposits were found to be primarily composed of fibrillar A(beta) and resembled compact amyloid plaques. As the mice aged, nonfibrillar A(beta) deposits increased in number and spread to regions not typically associated with amy...
