BACKGROUND Hemodialysis (HD)-related headaches are a common complaint of patients undergoing this procedure. OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency and clinical characteristics of headache in patients undergoing HD and to discuss their diagnostic criteria. METHOD The present study assessed, in a prospective manner, a series of patients consulting at a HD center in Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil, fr...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chronic daily headache (CDH) is a commonly reported reason for visiting hospital neurology departments, but its prevalence, clinical characteristics, and management have not been well documented in Korea. The objective of this study was to characterize the 1-year prevalence, clinical characteristics, medical consultations, and treatment for CDH in Korea. METHODS The Kor...

INTRODUCTION The pathogenesis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is not clear. Risk factors including environmental factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of few congenital anomalies. We aimed to assess the effect of season on the incidence of CDH and mortality rate in the southwest of Iran. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospective study, the records of 60 patients with CDH ...

1. Describe other conditions that should be sought following prenatal diagnosis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). 2. Describe the procedures that optimize the outcome for CDH upon delivery of the infant. 3. Delineate the two most significant prenatal ultrasonographic predictors of postnatal mortality from CDH. 4. Describe the standard of care for those who have CDH that can be managed w...

Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG/polyglutamine repeat in the coding region of the huntingtin (htt) gene. Although HD is classically considered a motor disorder, there is now considerable evidence that early cognitive deficits appear in patients before the onset of motor disturbances. Here we demonstrate early imp...

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a common and severe birth defect. Despite its clinical significance, the genetic and developmental pathways underlying this disorder are incompletely understood. In this study, we report a catalog of variants detected by a whole exome sequencing study on 275 individuals with CDH. Predicted pathogenic variants in genes previously identified in either huma...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the stress presence and its influence in the quality of life of patients with chronic daily headache (CDH). METHOD A hundred patients with at least 18 years old, with primary headache with duration greater than 4 hours a day, and frequency of 15 or more days monthly for at least three months were studied. Lipp's Inventory of Stress Symptoms and the Medical Outcomes Study...

Temperature has crucial effects on gonadal development and reproduction of abalone. To understand the impact thermal stress molecular physiological processes triggering regulation reproduction, changes in mRNA expression neuroendocrine genes encoding two abalone gonadotropin-releasing hormone ( Hdh-GnRH , Hdh-GnRH-like peptide ), GnRH receptor Hdh-GnRH-R Hdh-APGWamide serotonin 5-HT hdh a heat ...

This study used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to examine the microstructure properties of a composite biofilm made hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) and cinnamaldehyde (CDH). The zeta potential HPC-based solution was found decrease from -1.31 - 3.24 (mV) with addition CDH-emulsified CDH, according Zetasizer analysis. Additionally, roughness surface showed an increasing trend. AFM analysis indicated ...
