Pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGGs) are among the most common solid tumors in children but, apart from BRAF kinase mutations or duplications specific subclasses, few genetic driver events known. Diffuse PLGGs comprise a set of uncommon subtypes that exhibit invasive growth and therefore especially challenging clinically. We performed high-resolution copy-number analysis on 44 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded diffuse to identify recurrent alterations. exhibited fewer such alterations than...

ABSTRACT Introduction Prevalence estimates and correlates of ARFID in non‐Western samples are lacking. This study aims to estimate the prevalence symptoms, identify its phenotypes, explore a community sample from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Method Participants were parents children aged 4–13 years ( n = 87) individuals ≥ 14 old 433). They completed Pica, ARFID, Rumination Disorder Interview‐ARFID‐Questionnaire (PARDI‐AR‐Q), Nine Item Screen (NIAS) Eating Examination‐Questionnaire...

Understanding pediatric brain tumor biology is essential to help on disease stratification, and find novel markers for early diagnosis. MicroRNA (miRNA) expression has been linked clinical outcomes biology. Here, we aimed detect the of different miRNAs in subtypes discover biomarkers detection develop therapies.

Abstract: Mycetoma is a chronic infectious disease of the subcutaneous tissue with high morbidity. This most commonly seen in countries between 30°N and 15°S equator, but cases have also been Europe USA. Due to lack proper prevalence data, currently true burden this not known. can be caused by large variety microorganisms, both bacteria fungi. Treatment depends on etiology causative agent. Actinomycetoma usually treated antibiotics only has decent cure rate; eumycetoma combination surgery....

Aggresomes are transient microtubule-dependent inclusion bodies that sequester misfolded proteins and ultimately removed by autophagy. Here we report the generation of a choroid plexus carcinoma cell line; Children's Cancer Hospital Egypt (CCHE)-45, which is characterized constitutive formation aggresomes. When examining autophagy pathway as main route for aggresomes clearance, CCHE-45 cells displayed increased flux mediated MAP1LC3B. MAP1LC3A-Variant1 gene expression was silenced promoter...
