objective: the relationship between obsessive compulsive disorder and schizophrenia has been a matter of dispute for ages. this study aimed to investigate the differences between schizophrenia with obsessive compulsive symptoms (ocs) and schizophrenia without ocs in affecting positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.  methods: study participants comprised 30 patients with schizophrenia w...

This paper presents a new concept-maltreatment associated psychiatric problems (MAPP)-a syndrome of overlapping complex neurodevelopmental problems in children who have experienced abuse or neglect in early life. Children with MAPP are a hidden population in the community and, in clinical settings, their problems can seem overwhelming. Individual disorders associated with maltreatment are discu...

BACKGROUND Pediatric autoinflammatory diseases are rare and still poorly understood conditions resulting from defective genetic control of innate immune system, inter alia from anomalies of NOD2 gene. The product of this gene is Nod2 protein, taking part in maintenance of immune homeostasis. Clinical form of resultant autoinflammatory condition depends on NOD2 genotype; usually patients with NO...

in this paper, a new approach to overlapping operations in job shop scheduling is presented. in many job shops, a customer demand can be met in more than one way for each job, where demand determines the quantity of each finished job ordered by a customer. in each job, embedded operations can be performed due to overlapping considerations in which each operation may be overlapped with the other...

It is believed that 3.2 billion bp of the human genome harbor approximately 35000 protein-coding genes. On average, one could expect one gene per 300000 nucleotides (nt). Although the distribution of the genes in the human genome is not random,it is rather surprising that a large number of genes overlap in the mammalian genomes. Thousands of overlapping genes were recently identified in the hum...

Introduction We report a unique case in a 17 year old male patient of Algerian origin with two rare genetic conditions with overlapping clinical symptoms. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by sporadic, paroxysmal attacks of fever and serositis. Hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) is one of the type of acute hepatic porphyria resulting in neuroviscer...

The products of in-frame overlapping genes II and X carried by the filamentous phage f1 genome are proteins with required but opposing functions in phage DNA replication. Their normal relative levels are important for continuous production of phage DNA without killing infected Escherichia coli hosts. Here we identify several factors responsible for determining the relative levels of pII and pX ...
