OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between the genetic polymorphisms of PPARgamma (Pro12Ala, C1431T, and C-2821T) and the risk of ischemic stroke and to investigate whether these genetic polymorphisms of PPARgamma would modify the risk of ischemic stroke among patients with hypertension or diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The case-control study was conducted with 537 ischemic stroke p...

Poly(A) polymerase (PAP), which adds poly(A) tails to the 3' end of mRNA, can be phosphorylated at several sites in the C-terminal domain. Phosphorylation often mediates regulation by extracellular stimuli, suggesting PAP may be regulated by such stimuli. In this study, we found that phosphorylation of PAP was increased upon growth stimulation and that the mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK w...

Abstract Biopsies of the palate are generally well-tolerated with known complications pain, bleeding, or infection, that can usually be well-controlled. We report a case 63-year-old male who developed rare complication following biopsy an ulcer on junction between hard and soft palate. Despite uneventful routine biopsy, patient presented oro-nasal fistula complaints nasal discharge. The cause w...

Abstract Aim Despite the low incidence of pilon fractures, their high impact nature presents difficulties in surgical management/recovery. Current literature is varied, with no universal treatment algorithm. We aim to highlight differences treatment, outcomes, complications between open and closed fractures. Method This retrospective study was conducted at a major trauma centre, including patie...
