The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1893217 within the gene locus encoding protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) results in a dysfunctional PTPN2 protein is associated with Crohn's disease (CD) and exists in perfect linkage disequilibrium with the CD- and
G6PC3 deficiency typically causes severe congenital neutropenia, associated with susceptibility to infections, cardiac and urogenital abnormalities. However, here we describe two boys of Pakistani origin who were found to have G6PC3 deficiency due to c.130 C>T mutation, but who have clinical
Four patients with disseminated histoplasmosis, two of whom had late relapses after previous therapy with amphotericin B, were treated with ketoconazole 200 to 400 mg daily for 1 year. All patients improved markedly during therapy, with resolution of symptoms decreasing liver and spleen size, and
A severe poxvirus infection occurred in three pudu (Pudu puda), resulting in two fatalities. Cutaneous ulcers with mucopurulent exudate were present around the eyes and nose, at the lip margins, coronary bands, and teats. Mucosal ulcers were present in the oral cavity, esophagus, and forestomachs.
Purified T-2 toxin was fed to S.C.W.L. hens at levels of 0 (control), 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 p.p.m. of an otherwise balanced diet. Feed consumption, egg production and shell thickness were significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased in hens fed 8 p.p.m. as compared with control hens. The
Mixed-lineage kinase 3 (MLK3) activates multiple MAPK pathways and can initiate apoptosis, proliferation, migration, or differentiation in different cell types. However, whether MLK3 signaling regulates intestinal epithelial cell sheet migration in vivo is not known. We sought to investigate whether
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is associated to Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) in 80% of cases, and this association is more common than the one with Crohn’s disease. Nevertheless, the prevalence of PSC in patients with UC is only 2.9% in Latin America. We present the case of a female patient who
Glycogen storage disease type 1b is a rare metabolic disorder which affects the transport system of glucose-6-phosphatase metabolism. As a result, hepatomegaly, failure to thrive, renal dysfunction and recurrent infections occur in affected patients. In this paper, the oral complications in three
We characterized urinary excretion of C3 fragments among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as a possible indicator of renal involvement. 28 patients, representing a broad range of disease activity were admitted to our study. Urinary proteins were separated on 4-20% gradient SDS-PAGE
