Autoimmune encephalitis is a difficult clinical diagnosis due to the similarities in the clini­cal, imaging and laboratory findings of many forms of autoimmune and infectious encephalitis. Autoimmune encephalitis involves several types: The first group includes the classic paraneo­plastic disorders associated with antibodies to intracellular antigens. The second group involves autoanti...

“The extraordinary, rapid development of immunology, with its increasing significance in almost all other branches of the medical sciences, has created new needs with respect to the teaching of this subject in the medical curriculum. ’ ’ This initial paragraph of a 1967 WHO technical report (No. 358) recognized the urgent need to develop medical school teaching programs in immunology. The repor...

CHRONIC occlusive arterial diseases are the most common and the most disabling of all peripheral vascular disorders. Some of the causes of chronie arterial occlusion are arteriosclerosis obliterans, thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease), primary arterial thrombosis, which presumably results froni hypercoagulable blood, embolism, which is almost always associated with heart disease or p...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the position of mental foramen by measuring the vertical bone height from digital panoramic radiograph and also the variation of resorption pattern by gender and extraction time frame. Materials and methods/study design: Digital panoramic radiographs of 500 patients were reviewed. The study population was divided into four age groups aged 30 to 70 years as (30-39, 40-49, 50-5...

A pediatrie Phase I and pharmacokinetic study of the lipophilic alkylating agent spirohydantoin mustard (SHM) was conducted in 23 patients. The dose-limiting toxicity of SHM was neurological with disorientation, delirium, or hallucinations occurring in 9 of 23 patients. These symptoms were partially reversible and preventable with physostigmine. In 17 patients who were évaluablefor response to...

The majority of the current data about psoriasis is about immune system elements and role of inflammation in the pathogenesis. The development of psoriasis is associated with genetic predisposition which has a basis of T cell activation secondary to dermal inflammation with abnormal keratinocyte proliferation. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interferon gama (IFN-γ), and interleukin (IL)-8 ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of transrectal ultrasonography (US) bi¬opsy with imaging fusion using multiparametric (mp) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa), with an emphasis on clini¬cally significant tumors according to histological criteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 189 consecutive US/MRI fusion biopsies were per¬form...

The mechanistic understanding of interactions between diet-derived substances and conventional medications in humans is nascent. Most investigations have examined cytochrome P450–mediated interactions. Interactions mediated by other phase I enzymes are understudied. Aldehyde oxidase (AO) is a phase I hydroxylase that is gaining recognition in drug design and development programs. Taken together...
