Transgenic Expression of Sugarcane Mosaic Virus VPg in Maize Inbred Line CML444 Confers Resistance to Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease
Maize is the most important crop in Kenya and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. However, yields are below potential due to abiotic and biotic constraints. One of the major biotic concerns is maize lethal necrosis disease (MLN), which causes up to
100% yield losses. MLN is caused by the synergistic infection of two viruses, Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and a potyvirus, commonly Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV)
Bilateral Palatal Necrotizing Sialometaplasia in Patient with Prurigo Nodularis: A Case Report
Necrotizing Sialometaplasia (NSM) is a rare, benign, self-limiting, inflammatory disease of mostly minor salivary gland
origin.
NSM can resemble a malignant lesion in its early disease course, both clinically and pathologically. Bilateral involvement
of the hard and soft palate by the lesion is a rare occurrence. NSM was first described as a reactive inflammatory process.
Since then, over 200 cases have been reported and has been added to the WHO classification of salivary gland tumours
under the tumour-like lesions. Here, we report a case of a 30-year-old male with bilateral NSM of both the hard and
soft palate, on a background history of prurigo nodularis. The patient was initially referred to an Oral and Maxillofacial
Department by his general practitioner for a palatal ulcer, concerning for oral malignancy. The ulcer was painless with a
well-demarcated border and necrotic base. Subsequent biopsy and histological examination confirmed necrotizing sialometaplasia with healing occurring within 5 weeks.
Spine Osteonecrosis Related to Sickle Cell Disease
Analyze the clinical profile of the spine with osteonecrosis in sickle cell disease. 610 patients were followed-up in this study between 2000 and 2017. 98 osteonecrosis were identified, 48 in the lumbar spine, 40 in the thoracic spine and 10 in both spine segments. We analyzed sex, age, genotype, and pain. Magnetic resonances and radiographs of the spine were performed.
Pathology of Non-Fatal Asphyxia and the Risk of Fatal Outcome in the Context of Intimate Partner Violence
The victims of intimate partner violence are subjected to emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse. The physical abuse often includes episodes of mechanical asphyxia and its most frequent mechanisms: throttling and strangulation. Non-fatal asphyxia situations have signs, symptoms and short-term or long-term consequences whose severity varies according to the intensity, duration and number of episodes.
Narrative Review of Challenges and Considerations in Resuming Elective Gynaecology Surgery in Climate of Continuing Community Transmission of Covid-19 in a Low Resource Setting
The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic in March 2020 and since then COVID-19 infection has been
reported in all parts of the world. Several Healthcare systems reduced or canceled none emergency or urgent surgeries to effectively
manage the pandemic. Recently, the reported incidence of new cases of COVID-19 has reduced in some regions and some Healthcare
systems are resuming elective gynecologic surgery. This narrative review explores the challenges of planning and resuming elective
gynecologic surgery in a climate of continuing community transmission.
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis in Twin Sisters after Ibuprofen Administration. New Insights in Pathogenesis and Literature Review
Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are closely-related, severe, acute life-threatening, drug-induced skin and mucosal disorders with a high mortality rate or long-term damages. These medical conditions are considered a delayed, typeIV hypersensitivity reaction and can be triggered by drugs, infections and malignancies.
Design and Evaluation of a Connected Insole to Support Healthy Aging of Frail Patients at Home
The main objective of this work is to develop a technological solution to support active aging of frail older individuals. In this perspective, we designed a connected insole in order to encourage frail elderly persons to become more active in their daily life. The project presented in this paper, funded by the French National Research Agency, aims to design and evaluate an original solution to follow and encourage walking activity.
Cost-Effectiveness and Budget Impact Analysis of Recombinant Tumor Necrosis Factor-Thymosin Alpha 1 in a Complex Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer
Recombinant tumor necrosis factor -thymosin alpha 1 (TNF-T) has been used in Russian oncological practice for a number of years.
Unrelenting Gynecological Conflict: Isn’t it Time we all got along?
Over the past twenty-five years, a rupture has emerged between what I will term ‘gynecological purists’ and ‘gynecological futurists’. Members of the orthodox camp (the ‘purists’) maintain the existence of the uterus, the reality of oophorectomy, and, ultimately, the hope that we shall all one day die and be admitted to the RCOG. The futurists reject each of these three claims, offering instead the vision of a bleak universe in which there is no uterus, no possibility of oophorectomy, and nothing on the other side of death. In this paper, I will argue that the purists and the futurists represent two sides of the same coin, though they fail to recognise the fact. While gynecologists have spent the past two-and-a-half decades debating the eternal, I have been constructing a new branch of gynecology which returns to more central questions: how are we to live? Is there such a thing as truth? And, if so, can we know it?
Spontaneous Bruising on the Face, Neck and Chest
Bruises are due to the blood leaking from vessels into the dermis. They usually occur at sites exposed to trauma, mainly the lower limbs, outer hips and arms. Spontaneous bruising (purpura and ecchymoses) restricted to the face, neck and chest are an exception to the rule.
Recurrent Mucinous Ovarian Neoplasms: Rationale and Results of a New Treatment Plan in Four Patients
Recurrence of a mucinous ovarian neoplasm after resection is unusual but this does happen. If possible, a repeat surgical
removal of recurrent disease is the treatment of choice. The results of a repeat intervention are poor. A review of our results of treatment of recurrent mucinous ovarian neoplasms was performed.
Review of the Diagnostic Value of Ultrasound Imaging in Giant Cell Arteritis
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) requires prompt diagnosis as clinical indicators of GCA are non-specific. Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) can be inconclusive and difficult to arrange timely. MR imaging is accurate for showing vessel thickening. However, the availability of MRI remains an issue in many radiology departments.
Five Cases of an Accessory Left Vertebral Artery on the Aortic Arch
Vascular variations of the head and neck are common, but oft en go unnoticed because they generally do not present clear clinical
symptoms. Lack of awareness of the presence and location of such variations may result in iatrogenic complications or even fatalities.
Physicians and surgeons should be cognizant of such variations given their potential clinical signifi cance.
The Roles of IL-33 and TGF-Β1 in the Pathogenesis of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/ Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: Potential Biomarkers for Disease Severity
MicroscopyStevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) is a disease continuum of potentially life threatening, severe allergic drug reactions which result in cellular apoptosis in the skin, mucous membranes, and ocular surface. The exact pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to this apoptosis is unclear but genetic predisposition and abnormal immune regulations play a role.
Productive Cough and Bilateral Ptosis
We present a case report of a patient with Mounier-Kuhn syndrome. The clinical, radiological and endoscopic illustrations contribute to the awareness and recognizability of this rare and under-diagnosed pulmonary syndrome. It is characterized by tracheobronchomegaly and tracheomalacia, leading to ineffective mucociliary clearance, recurrent respiratory infections and bronchiectasis. Computed tomography is the golden standard for diagnosis. Etiology remains unknown. Prognosis depends on adequate treatment and prevention of respiratory infections.
