Abstract:
... Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of neurodegenerative disorders with a predominant lesion of the pyramidal tract. The autosomal dominant form of SPG3A, associated with mutations in the ATL1 gene, is one of the most common forms of HSP in European populations. Analysis of the ATL1 gene was performed in 63 unrelated families with HSP from the Republic of Bashkortostan. Two pathogenic v ...

Abstract:
... In dogs, balloon valvuloplasty is considered the treatment of choice for severe pulmonary valve stenosis, and this technique is currently performed routinely in specialist referral practices with low morbidity and mortality. Stent angioplasty has also been recently proposed as a viable treatment option. The present case series describes the clinical course of four dogs with severe pulmonary valve ...

Abstract:
... Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder characterized by positive and negative symptoms. The negative symptoms are highly relevant to the disease course and outcome. Because negative symptoms show considerable heterogeneity, there is substantial interest in elucidating the negative symptom domains that are characteristic of patient subgroups. It has been proposed that patients with schizophrenia ...

Abstract:
... The objective of this retrospective study was to assess the safety and efficacy of a slow IV administration of 1mg/kg tiludronate in a large number of horses. Each horse that received at least one tiludronate-based treatment between 2006 and August 2019 at Virginia Equine Imaging or Fairfield Equine was included in the study. Concomitant medical treatments, preliminary nonsteroidal anti-inflammato ...

Abstract:
... Breed specific paroxysmal dyskinesias are increasingly recognised in veterinary medicine. We aimed to characterise the phenomenology, clinical course and prevalence of a previously unreported paroxysmal dyskinesia in the Welsh terrier breed. Clinical records of five Welsh terriers with paroxysmal episodes were reviewed. Additionally, owners of Welsh terriers were invited to complete a questionnair ...

Abstract:
... Accessory articulation between the transverse processes of the C6 and C7 vertebrae is an extremely rare anatomic variant that has only been previously described in two instances. In this report, we present the case of a 25-year-old male who sustained numerous injuries associated with a physical assault. A CT study of the cervical spine revealed a linear lucency mimicking a fracture but found on cl ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: In postoperative monitoring of synovial structure infection due to limb wounds, early recognition of a recurrence of synovial infection is indispensable to prevent further damage to the affected synovial structure. This study evaluated the role of serum amyloid A (SAA) as a systemic biomarker in disease monitoring and correlated this tool with clinical variables. METHODS: In this prosp ...

Abstract:
... OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical course and novel biochemical changes in 3 cats with lisdexamfetamine (LDX) toxicosis. SERIES SUMMARY: Three cats presented with LDX exposure and initially displayed typical clinical signs of amphetamine toxicosis. However, over the course of hospitalization, hypoglycemia and markedly elevated creatine kinase levels consistent with rhabdomyolysis ensued. All cats ...

Abstract:
... Background: Advanced prostate cancer (PC) may accumulate genomic alterations that hallmark lineage plasticity and transdifferentiation to a neuroendocrine (NE) phenotype. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a key player in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, its clinical value and role in NE differentiation in advanced PC has not been fully investigated. Methods: Two hundred an ...

Abstract:
... The CLN8 disease type refers to one of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) which are the most common group of neurodegenerative diseases in childhood. The clinical phenotypes of this disease are progressive neurological deterioration that could lead to seizures, dementia, ataxia, visual failure, and various forms of abnormal movement. In the current study, we describe two patients who presen ...

Abstract:
... Mucopolysaccharidosis-plus syndrome (MPS-PS) is a novel autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the VPS33A gene. This syndrome presents with typical symptoms of mucopolysaccharidosis, as well as congenital heart defects, renal, and hematopoietic system disorders. To date, twenty-four patients have been described. There is no specific therapy for MPS-PS; clinical management is therefor ...

Abstract:
... Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. Currently, approximately 537 million adults (20–79 years) have diabetes, and the total number of people with diabetes is continuously increasing. Diabetes includes several subtypes. About 80% of all cases of diabetes are type 2 diabetes (T2D). T2D is a polygenic disease with an inheritance ranging from 30 to 70%. Genetic and environment/lifestyl ...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cases presenting to a single referral centre with a diagnosis of idiopathic non‐erosive immune‐mediated polyarthritis were retrospectively recruited from January 2009 to August 2018. Data including signalment, urinalysis ...

Abstract:
... Immune-mediated inflammatory skin diseases are characterized by a complex multifactorial etiology, in which genetic and environmental factors interact both in genesis and development of the disease. Nutrition is a complex and fascinating scenario, whose pivotal role in induction, exacerbation, or amelioration of several human diseases has already been well documented. However, owing to the complex ...

Conventional drug regimens are ineffective for the treatment of MDR-PTB patients with cavities. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of one-way endobronchial valves (EBVs) for the treatment of cavities in MDR-PTB patients. Methods: MDR-PT ...

Abstract:
... Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by variants in the fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene. Cardinal features of MFS include ectopia lentis (EL), musculoskeletal features and aortic root aneurysm and dissection. Although dissection of the ascending aorta is the main cause of mortality in MFS, the clinical course differs considerably in age of onset and severity, even among individu ...

Abstract:
... Deep penetrating nevus (DPN) is an uncommon acquired melanocytic lesion with a distinct histopathological appearance that typically behaves in an indolent manner. The lesion is characterized by a symmetrical proliferation of epithelioid to spindled melanocytes associated with abundant melanophages and wedge-shaped extension to the deep reticular dermis and subcutis.

Abstract:
... Background: Clinical course variability in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is partially explained by the mutation location in the DMD gene and variants in modifier genes. We assessed the effect of the SPP1, CD40, and LTBP4 genes and DMD mutation location on loss of ambulation (LoA). Methods: SNPs in SPP1-rs28357094, LTBP4-rs2303729, rs1131620, rs1051303, rs10880, and CD40-rs1883832 were genotype ...

Abstract:
... Mother-to-newborn COVID-19 transmission is mainly postnatal, but single-case reports and small case series have also described SARS-CoV-2 transplacental transmission. Unfortunately, studies regarding vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 lack systematic approaches to diagnosis and classification. So far, scientific evidence seems to suggest that the severity of maternal infection increases the risk ...
