The number of laminopathies is large, and the variability is equally wide. OMIM mentions 10 different entities, but there are several additional reports of individuals with a lamin A/C mutation who have phenotypes that are still at variance of these. This variability can be explained in two ways. One is the widespread dissemination of the lamin A/C protein within our bodies and indeed within in...

We assessed the neurochemical basis of olfactory learning induced by presentations of odor and moderate shock in infant rats. Paradoxically, shock conditioning produces an odor preference in 8-day-olds, but an odor aversion in 12-day-olds. Studies have demonstrated the importance of opioids in early olfactory learning; their specific role remains undefined. In this study, postnatal Days 8 and 1...

Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a common syndrome. A total of 94 patients (57 men and 37 women; mean age, 56.3 +/- 19 years, range, 18-86 years) who met the criteria of FUO were included in this study. Mycobacteriosis was diagnosed in 22 (23%) of these patients (13 men and 9 women), including 9 with disseminated disease and 13 with pulmonary disease. There was no significant statistical differ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Malaria had been eradicated in Taiwan since 1965, but there are currently 30 to 50 imported cases annually. The management of imported malaria continues to be challenging due to evolving drug resistance of Plasmodium parasites. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical presentations, treatment, and outcomes of all 16 adult patients (17 episodes) with imported mal...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the clinical presentations of Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) septic arthritis after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between September 2006 and February 2008, S. epidermidis septic arthritis developed in six patients following arthroscopic ACLR. We reviewed the medical records retrospectively and int...

Background: A complication of venous thromboembolism is pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism a type cardiovascular disease caused by thrombus in the artery. Nonspecific symptoms and wide range clinical to asymptomatic presentations make diagnosing this challenging. Objective: In research, patient profiles patients admitted at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya from 2019 until 2021 were ana...
