Relationship between blood ammonia and plasma free amino acids concentration in adult-onset citrullinemia type 2: A case report

1.1. Aim: Elevated plasma citrulline (Cit) concentration is a char acteristic finding in adult-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2). However, the plasma free amino acids (PFAA) profile associated with ammonia detoxification has not been fully analyzed.

Therapeutic Perspective of the Multisensory Interior Garden for the Older People

1.1. Introduction: The conceptualization of the inherent relation ship between man and nature is called biophilia which refers to the belief that humans are genetically predisposed to be attracted to nature. Science has strengthened the hypothesis contributing to its expansion in various fields such as medicine and psychotherapeu tic interventions

Walking rehabilitation using Hybrid Assistive Limb and C-Brace for an individual with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury: a case report

Many individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) hope to restore walking function irrespective of their impairment. We present a case with chronic incomplete cervical SCI who could regain com munity ambulation by gait training with hybrid assistive limb (HAL), followed by fitting and training of microprocessor-con trolled knee ankle foot orthosis (C-Brace). The walking and

Streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity as a risk factor for threatened miscarriage.

Dear Editor, we have found that the presence of Streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity of a pregnant woman may be a risk factor for miscar riage. We observed that Streptococcus mutans is significantly more widespread in the oral cavity of women with threatened abortion than in those undergoing a healthy pregnancy.

Association between Galectin-3 and oxidative stress parameters with coronary artery disease in Tunisian population

1.1. Background: Galectin-3 (Gal-3), as a mediator of inflamma tion and fibrosis, has been reported to be a biomarker of severity in coronary artery disease (CAD). The study aimed to assess the rela tionships between coronary artery disease (CAD) and risk factors, including parameters of oxidative stress in Tunisian patients CAD.

The risks of using 2,4‑dinitrophenol (2,4‑DNP) as a weight loss agent: a literature review

The prevalence of obesity has steadily increased in response to changes in diet and physical activity patterns over the past 10 years, becoming one of the leading causes of morbidity and mor tality worldwide. In addition, the popularity of social networks has increased social and cultural pressure for the search for the “perfect body”.

The Role of Genetic Mutations in Genes RUNX1, RUNX1T1, CBFB & MYH11 on Core Binding Factor Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) is one of the causes of he matopoietic tissue (bone marrow) called acute myeloid leukemia. In normal bone marrow, early blood cells called hematopoietic stem cells develop into several types of blood cells: white blood cells (leukocytes) that protect the body against infection, red blood cells (erythrocytes) ) that carry oxygen

Height is a measure of consumption that incorporates nutritional needs: When and What?

Japan suffered heavily from WWII. Per capita food supply was 1,450 and 1,700 kcal/day in 1946 and 1947, respectively. Japan’s economy quickly recovered to the pre-war level in 10 years after the war, 2,200 kcal/day in average food supply in 1955, making steady progress toward the end of the century.
