The country has unique challenges posed by susceptible population IPD due people with...
STING-associated vasculopathy of infantile-onset (SAVI) is one the newly identified types interferonopathies. SAVI caused by heterozygous gain-of-function mutations in STING1 . We herein report for first time a homozygous variant gene two siblings that resulted constitutive activation STING and phenotype. Exome sequencing revealed novel NM_198282.3: c.841C&gt;T; p.(Arg281Trp) exon 7 gene. The segregated family to be all affected either or wild type healthy. Computational structural...
Abstract Background Concerns have recently been raised about reported incidents of intestinal obstruction following ingestion Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) beads. Texas Poison Centers 110 cases superabsorbent bead ingestions between 2011 and 2016 (Pediatr Emerg Care 35:426-7, 2019). Furthermore, related auditory complications the placement SAP beads into external canal also reported. Here, we report first case significant airway damage secondary to a (Orbeez), which was aspirated then...
