L ittle research is available on autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) epidemiology and clinical practice in developing countries. Studies from the Middle East are particularly rare (1 6). In Western countries, autism is regarded as highly influenced by genetics, although genetic abnormalities are only identified in a minority of patients (7). There is increasing evidence that the high rates of cons...
Eosinophils are specialized granulocytes that produce and store diverse biologically active molecules, including cytotoxins, cytostimulatory proteins, lipid mediators, chemotactic peptides, cytokines, leukotriens and prostaglandins.1 Eosinophils can also cause direct damage to microorganisms and can activate cells and platelets.1,2 The normal count ranges between 0.05 and 0.5 × 109/L in the per...
Converging evidence supports the hypothesis that the most common subtype of childhood speech sound disorder (SSD) of currently unknown origin is genetically transmitted. We report the first findings toward a set of diagnostic markers to differentiate this proposed etiological subtype (provisionally termed speech delay-genetic) from other proposed subtypes of SSD of unknown origin. Conversationa...
The timely diagnosis of cancer is a frequent theme in the lay press and an increasingly common topic for quality improvement initiatives. 2 The UK’s health secretary has advocated ranking general practices on the NHS Choices website according to how promptly patients subsequently diagnosed with cancer are referred to specialist services for suspected cancer. But is such a policy based on eviden...
DEAR EDITOR, Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is clinically defined with recognized diagnostic criteria and recognizable physical characteristics. Untreated, the disease causes significant morbidity. The prevalence varies between 0 0003% and 4% depending on the study population. Estimates from insurance databases suggest a prevalence of < 0 1%. This variation strongly suggests a significant select...
A 3 week old boy presented with abnormal thyroid function, and was treated with thyroxine. He developed multisystem disease including deafness and nephrotic syndrome, and died aged 3 months. Carbohydrate deficient glycoprotein syndrome (CDGS) was diagnosed post-mortem. CDGS should be considered in all infants with apparently unrelated multiple clinical or biochemical abnormalities.
BACKGROUND Early detection and treatment of tuberculosis cases are the hallmark of successful tuberculosis control. We conducted a cross-sectional study at public primary health facilities in Kampala city, Uganda to quantify diagnostic delay among pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients, assess associated factors, and describe trajectories of patients' health care seeking. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL...
Germ cell tumours are the most common malignancy among young men; cryptorchidism is a possible risk factor for the development of testicular cancer. Psycho-oncology studies indicate that diagnostic delay can often be explained by different social conditions and that symptoms worsened under lack of appropriate treatment can lead to an urgent admission to the hospital. Nevertheless, germ cell tum...
Oral cancer is a public health problem. Despite all the efforts and improvements in the field of oncology, the mortality rate had not significantly declined in the course of recent years. This may be due to the fact that diagnosis of oral cancer is frequently delayed. The main goal of this study is to analyze the factors responsible of this delay. We analyzed the clinical history of 76 patients...
Breast cancer continues to be a disease with tremendous public health significance. Primary prevention of breast cancer is still not available, so efforts to promote early detection continue to be the major focus in fighting breast cancer. Since early detection is associated with decreased mortality, one would think that it is important to minimize delays in detection and diagnosis. There are t...
