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.

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 bal ance ability continuously improved in the course of rehabilitation.

The primary objective of this study was to show the usefulness and importance of GeneXpert MTB/RIF, a rapid test that simultane ously detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and resistance to rifampicin (RIF) in less than 2 hours.

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.
