Tyrosinemia type II is a rare autosomal recessive disorder wich can present itself with recurrent epithelial keratitis, hyperkeratotic skin lesions and mental retardation. This article reports the rare occurrence of this disease in both offsprings (two brothers) of a family (consanguinous'marriage) who were managed with a lowprotein diet and a special regimen.

Objectives: Genetic polymorphism interactions are among the important factors in affliction with complex diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. The important goal of genetic association studies is to identify a combination of polymorphisms and measure their importance in increasing the risk of occurrence of such diseases. In this study, feature selection approach of logic regression was used to ide...

INTRODUCTION During the past century, gastroenterologists have experienced major shifts in the occurrence of several common diseases affecting the digestive tract. The historic fall in the occurrence of gastric cancer and peptic ulcer disease during the twentieth century was accompanied by a simultaneous rise in the occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease du...

Definitions of epidemiological concepts regarding disease monitoring and surveillance can be found in textbooks on veterinary epidemiology. This paper gives a review of how the concepts: monitoring, surveillance, and disease control strategies are defined. Monitoring and surveillance systems (MO&SS) involve measurements of disease occurrence, and the design of the monitoring determines which ty...

Dengue is an infectious disease cause by an important arbovirus namely dengue. Dengue is a common tropical disease. It can be seen in any tropical countries[1]. The patients with dengue infections usually develop acute febrile illness and hemorrhagic complications. The occurrence of dengue in the patients with underlying medical illness is very interesting and can be a complicated case. The occ...

Rice blast disease has become an enigmatic problem in several rice growing ecosystems of both tropical and temperate regions of the world. In this study, we develop models for predicting the occurrence and severity of rice blast disease, with the aim of helping to prevent or at least mitigate the spread of such disease. Data from 2 government agencies in selected provinces from northern Philipp...

background and aims. a link between the occurrence of severe periodontitis and several systematic health changes including an altered lipid metabolism has been suggested. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between chronic periodontitis and serum lipid levels. materials and methods. thirty patients with chronic periodontitis (the community periodontal index of treatment ne...

Introduction: Considering the effectiveness of polymorphisms in the occurrence of respiratory diseases, it seems that these genetic variations in viral and microbial receptors can be effective in the occurrence and progression of the disease. The present study aimed to  assess the relationship between the C-159T polymorphism in the CD14 gene promoter and the severity of the disease in  Covid-19...

BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary intracranial tumor, but metastases are rarely reported. Previous reports have documented the occurrence of drop metastases to the spine. However, few of these reports have demonstrated the occurrence of spinal metastases after biopsy with stable intracranial disease. Here we present such a case. CASE DESCRIPTION We present a case of GBM...
