Alternating hemiplegia of childhood is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by
Abstract Background Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) is caused by mutations the ATP1A3 gene which expressed in brain areas that include structures controling autonomic, gastrointestinal, gut motility and GABAergic functions. We aimed to investigate, a cohort 44 consecutive AHC patients, two hypotheses: 1) patients frequently manifest particularly motility, problems. 2) These problems are often severe their severity correlates with neurological impairments. Results 41/44 (93%)...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: White matter injury (WMI) is the most common brain leading to poor neurologic outcomes in premature infants.Sepsis and infl ammation are signifi cant risk factors there no treatment options available.Developing novel drug therapies for neonates challenged by appropriate concerns safety.Here, we identifi ed oxysterols human maternal breast milk explored their therapeutic potential directing neural stem cells (NSCs) into oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage via Sonic Hedgehog...
ABSTRACT Introduction Uterine fibroids are known to affect >80% of premenopausal American women African descent, and sickle cell disease is disproportionately people varying geographical ancestries, particularly those sub-Saharan descent. However, previous studies have suggested the two pathologies less frequently co-occur. This study aims evaluate prevalence uterine in patients with across a large metropolitan area United States. Methods (including HbSS, HbSC, trait genotypes) underwent...
