Achalasia is a rare motor disorder of the oesophagus that typically characterized by the absence of oesophagus peristalsis and failure of swallow induced relaxation of oesophagus sphincter (LOS). The prevalence of achalasia is eight cases per million population.

A 35-year-old woman presented with progressive dysphagia for 6 years. Her…[Read more]

As predicted, vibratory signal form was diet-dependent in S. crassipalpata, while visual ornamentation (brush area) was diet-dependent in S. bilineata. We then compared the species-specific reliance on vibratory and visual signaling by recording mating across artificially manipulated signaling environments (presence/absence of each modality in a 2…[Read more]

Introduction Precautions issued by organizations such as the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) recommending against any elective, or non-essential, surgical procedures have significantly affected healthcare resource utilization by the public during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. In this…[Read more]

It is correlated with the severity of the disease. In addition to anti-tuberculosis drugs, nutritional management of these patients is essential.

Undernutrition is frequent in patients with active TB. It is correlated with the severity of the disease. In addition to anti-tuberculosis drugs, nutritional management of these patients is…[Read more]

To prevent infections associated with medical implants, various antimicrobial silver-coated implant materials have been developed. However, these materials do not always provide consistent antibacterial effects in vivo despite having dramatic antibacterial effects in vitro, probably because the antibacterial effects involve silver-ion-mediated…[Read more]

LVNC is characterized by substantial genetic overlap with DCM/HCM but is also associated with distinct noncompaction and arrhythmia etiologies. These results will enable enhanced application of LVNC genetic testing and help to distinguish pathological from physiological noncompaction.

To report a case of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reinfection 6months after the first infection in a young healthy female physician. Both episodes led to mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

SARS-CoV-2 infections were detected by real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) on nasopharyngeal specimens.…[Read more]
