INTRODUCTION Warts are common skin conditions resulting from infection of keratinocytes by human papillomavirus (HPV). After infection of the basal layer, there is clonal proliferation leading to epidermal thickening and hyperkeratinization and eventually results in a visible wart. HPVs are

BACKGROUND Since the first case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and its subsequent clinical manifestation (COronaVIrus Disease 19, COVID-19) in the city of Wuhan (Hubei, China) in December 2019, contagion abruptly spread to different regions of China

As of April 3, 2020, COVID-19 has been confirmed in over 1 million people worldwide, with an estimated symptomatic case fatality ratio of around 1.4%. Currently without an effective treatment for SARS-CoV-2 there is an urgent need for effective treatment to curtail the rate of respiratory failure,

In December 2019, a group of patients with the acute respiratory disease was detected in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China. A month later, a new beta-coronavirus was identified as the cause of the 2019 coronavirus infection. Despite China's efforts to contain the disease, it spread rapidly outside the

Coronavirus disease (COVID-2019) is a devastating viral illness that originated in Wuhan China in late 2019. The number of confirmed cases worldwide has nearly reached 2 million and more than 125,000 people have died. Early studies from Wuhan reported a mortality rate of 2-3% with lower rates in

In patients with severely progressive SARS-Cov-2 Coronavirus infection, the elderly and immunocompromised are at greater risk of progressing to a serious image of ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress syndrome). A recent study has shown that patients, sometimes young, requiring hospitalization in

Background Heart transplantation is a treatment for select patients with end-stage heart failure. Improvements in immunosuppressive therapies and patient management have increased the life expectancy of heart transplant patients. One-year survivals are 90% and 80%, with 65 % and 49% of pediatric and

Articular cartilage, similarly to bone tissue, has a high sensitivity to physical stimuli and it has been shown that these are able to significantly modify the cartilage metabolism. There are several methods for applying a physical stimulus to articular cartilage: direct current, pulsed

Uveitic macular edema (UME) is one of the commonest and severest complications of chronic uveitis, and is also one of the important causes of permanent vision loss in uveitis. The pathophysiological mechanism of UME remains unclear, but was thought to be caused by damages of internal/external

This is a monocentric, pilot, randomized controlled study. Each eligible transplant candidate will be enrolled once an eligible graft has been allocated to him/her. Each enrolled patient will be randomized to either the experimental arm (HOPE-CytoSorb) or the control arm

Arizona has the highest per capita rate of rattlesnake envenomation (the process by which venom is injected by the bite of a venomous animal) in the United States leading to millions of dollars in health care costs. Local tissue destruction typically manifests in the first few hours after snakebite

The incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is high in China especially in southern China. Radiotherapy is the mainstay of therapy for NPC and greatly improves patient survival. Along with promising therapeutic effects, complications such as radiation dermatitis, temporal lobe necrosis,

Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder that complicates 3-5% of pregnancies and remains a major cause of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality.(1) Preeclampsia is characterized by the development of new onset hypertension (HTN) and the establishment of proteinuria. Other signs and

Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammatory disease of the pancreas characterized by the sudden onset of abdominal pain, elevated serum amylase, and edema or necrosis of the pancreas. The clinical course of AP is generally mild; however, nearly 25% of patients progress into severe AP which consists
