Abstract Introduction For patients presenting with primary Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH), the ESC recommends systematic search for diagnostic clues or “red flags” (cardiac and non-cardiac) that can identify particular treatable disorders guide rational selection of tests. To date, a evaluation this recommendation has not been performed Purpose We sought to determine prevalence predictive a...

Abstract Introduction Danon disease (DD) is a rare multi-systemic disorder firstly described by et al. in 1981 and characterized triad consisting with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, intellectual disability. It an inherited dominant X-linked condition, due to mutations the lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2) gene. Typically, males present more severe phenotype earlier...

M ONOCLONAL gammopathies are commonly associated with multiple myeloma and Waldenstr#{246}m's macroglobulinemia. These diseases generally occur only in older age groups. Paraproteinemias have also been oh-served in myeloproliferative disorders,1 as well as in association with lympho-mas.2 However, paraproteinemia in children is an extremely rare condition, and only very few cases have been reco...

Chloroplasts and their nonphotosynthetic relatives in the plastid organelle family evolved from a cyanobacterial endosymbiont (for review, see Timmis et al., 2004). The subsequent coevolution of the chloroplast and nuclear genomes produced an organelle that is eubacterial at its core but with extensive chloroplastspecific embellishments. Of the thousands of genes in the cyanobacterial ancestor,...

Over the last two decades, network perspectives have become ubiquitous in the life sciences, ranging from the consideration of microscopic molecular networks to macroscopic social interaction networks. These perspectives have provided new insights into the patterns and processes that we, as scientists, aim to understand. They have also encouraged the development of new mathematical and statisti...
