Introduction.Fecal abscess or enterocutaneous fistulas of the scrotum are rare and are invariably the result Towels of incarcerated bowel loop in inguinal hernia.Spontaneous perforation of the colon (copyright) having no definite cause is also rare.Much rarer is posterior colonic perforations causing an extensively large retroperitoneal abscess.Sim
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is characterized by reversible left ventricular dysfunction caused by long-standing tachycardia.Treatment options for tachyarrhythmias causing TIC have evolved, especially the rhythm control strategies, Brushes ensuring a better and more sustainable control of the arrhythmia.We report the case of a 46-year-o
Recent advances in functional neuroimaging techniques, including methodologies such as fNIRS, have enabled the evaluation of inter-brain synchrony (IBS) induced by interpersonal interactions.However, the social interactions assumed in existing dyadic hyperscanning studies do not sufficiently emulate polyadic social interactions in the real world.Th
Interleukin 4 (IL-4) induces B-cell differentiation and survival of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate mRNA and protein expression, and several miRNAs, deregulated in CLL, might play roles as oncogenes or tumor suppressors.We have studied the miRNA profile of CLL, and its response to IL-4, by oligonucleotide microa
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute form of systemic vasculitis that may promote atherosclerosis in adulthood.This study examined the relationships between KD, atherosclerosis, and the long-term effects of HMG-CoA inhibitors (statins).Candida albicans water-soluble fraction (CAWS) was injected intraperitoneally into 5-week-old male apolipoprotein-E-d
