We aim to study the role of big endothelin 1 (Big ET1), endothelin 1 (ET1), and neprilysin (NE) in HFpEF with PH. Method: This was a single center prospective cohort study including 90 HFpEF patients; 30 with no PH, 30 ...

In mammalian species, the Fatty Acid Desaturase (FADS) gene cluster includes FADS1 (∆5-desaturase), FADS2 (∆6-desaturase), and a third gene member, named FADS3. According to its high degree of nucleotide sequence homology with both FADS1and FADS2, FADS3 was promptly suspected by researchers in the field to code for a new mammalian membrane-bound fa...

Introduction: Seizures are scary phenomena but are quite common especially among children: about 8% will have had at least one seizure by 15 years of age. Most acute seizures in children are brief, terminating spontaneously and do not need any treatment. Seizures that persist beyond 5 min may not stop spontaneously and necessitate comprehensive cli...

Cutaneous manifestations of tuberculosis are uncommon, can be nonspecific, and may demonstrate a wide variety of morphologies, including ulcerative papules, verrucous plaques, or nodules. We report the case of a 36-year-old Moroccan man who presented with nearly 2 years of generalized folliculocentric pustules and nodules, night sweats, and weight ...

Bilateral renal cell carcinoma with tumor thrombus extension into the renal vein and/or inferior vena cava - clinical stage T3a+ - is rare. The majority of these cases arise due to a genetic predisposition. We present a case report of a 47-year-old male with bilateral, synchronous renal cell carcinoma with bilateral renal vein and inferior vena cav...

Objectives: We used a new GP score (Gleason score multiplied by prostate-specific antigen) without the T stage as a predictive value for biochemical failure (BCF) after prostatectomy. Materials and Methods: We assessed 459 prostate cancer patients who underwent prostatectomies at our institution. Three sub-groups were defined in terms of D'Amico cl...
