Background: Worldwide Intra-Uterine Growth Restriction carries out high rate of fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Perinatal mortality rates are 4-8 times higher for growth-retarded infants. IUGR are subdivided into symmetrical and asymmetrical subtypes. Aim of Study: To focus on the actual incidence of each subtype of IUGR and disparities. Methods: Across-sectional descriptive study a...

conclusions vaccination seems to be necessary to prevent this potentially fatal infectious disease. furthermore, timely prescription of antiviral medications is recommended to decrease the risk of severe complications. results the mean age of the women was 28.1 ± 4.7 years with a mean gestational age of 28.7 ± 10.9 weeks. the most common clinical manifestations included coughing (100%), fever (...

background: the aims of this study were to identify blastocystis subtypes (sts) in a cohort of turkish patients with various gastrointestinal symptoms using a novel real time pcr method developed recently for blastocystis detection and assess the relationship between blastocystis sts and patient symptoms. methods: totally, 617 stool samples of patients with gastrointestinal symptoms were examin...

background: blastocystis is one of the most common parasites, reported from both human and animals. this parasite is more prevalent in regions with low levels of hygiene, close contact with animal and unsuitable disposal systems. the aim of the study was to subtype blastocystis sp., isolated from diarrheic and non-diarrheic patients using sequencing of 18s ribosomal dna. methods: totally, 300 s...

conclusions the current study shows that the predominant hcv genotype among azerbaijani patients with established chronic hepatitis c is subtype 1b (71.1%) followed by subtype 3a (17.0%). results hcv genotyping of positive plasma samples demonstrated that predominant hcv subtype was noted for 1b (71.1%) followed by subtype 3a (17.0%), genotype 2 (6.8%), 1a (1.7%), and mixed infection (3.4%). th...

Primary rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the kidney is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor with an aggressive clinical course. Adult renal RMS is typically a pleomorphic histologic subtype and only a few cases have ever been reported. We herein present a new case of renal RMS of the embryonal histologic subtype in a 26-year-old woman.
