Background/aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate different types of celiac antibodies in psoriasis patients and see if the presence was associated with other variables. Materials methods: We included plaque who were followed up our dermatology clinic between February 2019 2021 added a healthy control group for comparison. The studied serum antitissue transglutaminase (tTG)-IgA, tTG-IgG, a...

BACKGROUND Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is characterized by the local and gradual transformation of terminal scalp hair into vellus hair, which has a shorter and thinner shaft. There are no studies that analyze annual changes in age, patterns, family history, and associated disease. OBJECTIVE We investigated the severity of hair loss, age of onset, the frequency of family history, and past med...

Pulmonary involvement occurs in approximatively half of patients with allergic granulomatosis and angiitis (AGA). We studied bronchoalveolar cells from six patients with histologically proven AGA and compared our results with those obtained from four patients with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP), nine nonsmoking patients with bronchial asthma and blood eosinophilia, and 10 healthy nonsmoke...

Normal testosterone levels are frequently observed in women with androgenetic alopecia (AGA), suggesting the involvement of androgen sensitivity in this condition. Androgen sensitivity is related to androgen receptor (AR) messenger RNA (mRNA) production in hair follicles and is negatively related to the number of CAG repeats present in exon 1 of the AR gene. The aim of this study was to compare...

Four arginaseless mutants of Neurospora crassa have been isolated. All carry mutations which lie at a single locus, aga, on linkage group VIIR. A study of aga strains shows the arginase reaction to be the major, perhaps the only, route of arginine consumption in Neurospora other than protein synthesis. Ornithine-delta-transaminase, the second enzyme of the arginine catabolic pathway, is present...

Context: Obesity is a risk factor for multiple health problems but its association with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) remains controversial. Aims: To determine the presence of association between body mass index (BMI) and age of onset and severity of alopecia in men with AGA. Methods and Material: A cross-sectional study was conducted during the period of July 2014 to December 2014. 150 patients ...
