Human height is determined by genetics and “supply of inputs to health” (Steckel, 1995) [1]. In most econometric investigations, mean height of young adults is regressed against average supply(- consumption) of essential nutrients, such as animal protein, in the final stage of human growth, say the late-adolescents (Baten, 2009; Beer, 2012; Grasgruber et al.,2016; etc.) […]

1.1. Background: Stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy [SMART] syndrome is a rare and delayed complication of radiation therapy to the brain. Less than 100 cases have been de scribed in literature since it was first reported in 1995. On average, presentation is about more than 20 years after radiotherapy and pa tient normally present

1.1. Objectives: Hearing loss, the second most frequent sensori neural impairment, could be associated with missense mutations in several genes involved in the development of hearing parts. The re ceptor tyrosine kinase fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) is known to be expressed in the inner ear and plays an important role in the formation

1.1. Introduction: The management of open tibial fractures re mains a challenge for the orthopedic surgeons as various post-op erative complications are associated with external fixation of tibia fracture. 1.2. Objectives: To determine frequency of pin track infection among patients with tibia fracture treated with AO external fixator. 1.3. Material and Methods: This Descriptive case

1.1. Background: Previous studies reported the association of the OPRK1 gene with illicit substances, nicotine, and alcohol. The present study aimed to look at the methylation levels of OPRK1 gene promoter among smokers and addicts who underwent metha done maintenance treatment (MMT). 1.2. Methods: DNAs were extracted from the whole blood of all male samples

1.1. Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that the COMT gene is associated with alcohol, nicotine, and illicit sub stances. The aim of the present study was to examine the methyla tion status of a remarkable region in the COMT gene promoter in methadone-treated smokers and addicts. Methods: All male sam ples, including 30 smokers, 30

1.1. Introduction: Due to the insufficiency of understanding about Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoen cephalopathy (CADASIL) in general clinical studies, the process of diagnosis for most CADASIL patients is complex and often prolonged. The disease’s symptomatic heterogeneity, which hap pens frequently even among family members, increases the com plexity of diagnosis. 1.2. Methods:

1.1. Introduction: Previous studies have examined the impacts of PAX6 mutations on a wide range of eye impairments. Because of the PAX6 protein’s binding functions, alterations in its structure may prevent it from correctly connecting with the DNA molecule. 1.2. Materials and Methods: Whole Exome Sequencing [WES] was used to perform in vitro analysis on

Bacteremia due to S.Rubidaea is rarely described comparing with other species of Enterobacteriacae. It interests immunocompro mised patients undergoing invasive procedures. Herein, we report four cases of bacteraemia due to this pathogen in patients admitted in ICU for ketoacidosis with history of diabetes mellitus.Common ly, a catheter-related infection complicated with deep vein throm bosis was
