The development of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) after liver transplant is rare. Studies have commonly reported hepatic artery thrombosis and biliary tract pathologies as risk factors for PLA formation. Whilst other modifiable etiologies include diabetes and immunosuppression. This is a case of a 71-year-old male with a history of hepatitis B, diabetes mellitus, and hepatocellular […]

1.1. Background: The observational link between microalbumin and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is well established. However, it is uncertain if the link is causative. 1.2. Methods: The current study performed Mendelian random ization (MR) on publicly accessible genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data in order to investigate the causal linkages between microalbumin and T2DM. A

Currently, the primary approach for treating patent ductus arterio sus (PDA) is an alternative non-surgical strategy. Various devices are used for transcatheter closure of PDA. However, the emboli zation of these percutaneous devices is a rare yet severe complica tion. In this case, a 12-year-old girl underwent a successful attempt to close her PDA using

1.1. Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension are two important public health challenges, and both are linked to increased risk of cardiovascular events. Hyperuricemia has re cently emerged as an independent risk factor in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension through several pro posed mechanisms. These include endothelial dysfunction leading to

Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a debili tating condition characterized by exposure of non-healing necrotic bone lasting eight weeks or longer in the mandible or maxilla after medication use. Most commonly, MRONJ is a concern for patients receiving bisphosphonate therapy, most commonly for patients undergoing cancer treatment. The use of bisphosphonates in

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
