Abstract Glomus jugulure tumors are rather common in the middle ear and temporal bone. They usually easy to diagnose surgically remove. However, there a comparatively large number of these growths which not only cause extensive local destruction, but can spread distally even have endocrine manifestations. This group is difficult manage despite recent advances diagnostic procedures advent skull base surgery. There void literature series cases being followed for long period time. paper...
Theory of mind, or mentalizing, defined as the ability to reason about another's mental states, is a crucial psychological function that disrupted in some forms psychopathology, but little known how individual differences this relate personality brain function. One previous study linked mentalizing trait Agreeableness. Agreeableness encompasses two major subdimensions: Compassion reflects tendencies toward empathy, prosocial behaviour, and interpersonal concern, whereas Politeness captures...
Medical geology is the application of trace element geography to epidemiology. This approach used compare geographic distribution selenium and other elements in soil food with that high schizophrenia rates United States countries. Since comparison most statistically significant for low selenium, theory evaluated by principles environmental Although this examination finds deficient, research questions are generated test further investigate causes schizophrenia.
For at least a century, debate has continued as to whether cancer risk is reduced in schizophrenia. Genetic studies have also suggested the 2 conditions may share protein transcriptional pathways. The author predicted that if pathophysiology of schizophrenia confers protection from cancer, then immunology should reflect state tumor suppression, ie, opposite escape. To examine this possibility, performed literature search for measurements cytokines drug-naïve first episode subjects with...

Blood lead (Pb) clearance (CbPb) and serum creatinine (CsCr), a metric of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), were estimated in approximately 7,600 subjects from the NHANES (2009–2016). Median CbPb adults was 0.04 L/day (5th-95th percentile range: 0.01–0.12). Linear regression models explained 68% variance adults, with >98% attributed to CsCr. These results provide an improved quantitative understanding possible effects reverse causality interpretation studies associations between blood Pb...
Identification of candidate genes for schizophrenia may be more successful than genome screens as the latter have not found consistent linkages.To assist in gene search, a model based on resistance to infectious diseases, rather susceptibility, is proposed. The theory blends geography with assumption that cause likely evolved and persist from selection pressure. includes notion enhances biological survival at cost psychological social functioning.To demonstrate utility using this model,...
