• 2%) had CSF leakage and 64 (92.8%) did not have CSF leakage. One patient with CSF leakage (20.0%) was managed operatively. Of the 64 patients without CSF leakage, 4 (6.3%) were managed operatively. All operative patients were managed by cranialization. Complications included vision changes, facial pressure, anosmia, facial paresthesia,…[Read more]

  • Chitosan is commonly obtained from shrimp and crab shell chitin by deacetylation; however, such supplies appear limitation. An alternative source of chitosan is cell wall in certain fungi. In this study, chitosan production through submerged fermentation of Aspergillus terreus on apple waste extract as sole carbon source was investigated. Monod…[Read more]

  • Obesity and its cardiovascular correlates are present across the lifespan for CHD survivors, highlighting the need for early prevention and intervention.

    This case illustrates the evaluation of a healthy young male with ECG anomalies in a perioperative electrocardiogram (ECG) that ended up with the diagnosis of a severe systemic…[Read more]

  • 3years (range 0.3-11.7years). During follow-up, 17 aneurysms enlarged (6.1%), and two aneurysms ruptured (0.7%). The UIATS model showed a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 44%. The area under the receiver operator curve was 0.62 (95% confidence interval 0.46-0.79).

    Our observational study involving consecutive patients with an…[Read more]

  • Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the neurodegenerative brain disorders inducing nearly half of dementia cases, and the diagnosis and treatment of AD are the primary issues clinically. However, there is a lack of effective biomarkers and drugs for AD diagnosis and therapeutics so far. In this study, bioinformatics analysis combined with an…[Read more]

  • 75, sensitivity 0.72, and specificity 0.77. The most important variables to detect BD at the 18-year follow-up visit were suicide risk, generalized anxiety disorder, parental physical abuse, and financial problems. Additionally, the high-risk subgroup of BD showed a high frequency of drug use and depressive symptoms.

    We developed a risk…[Read more]
