A case with unexplained weight loss the underlying cause is aluminum toxicity

A Case of Unexplained Gastrointestinal Protein Loss.

Low-level APC mutational mosaicism is the underlying cause in a substantial fraction of unexplained colorectal adenomatous polyposis cases.

BACKGROUND In 30-50% of patients with colorectal adenomatous polyposis, no germline mutation in the known genes APC, causing familial adenomatous polyposis, MUTYH, causing MUTYH-associated polyposis, or POLE or POLD1, causing polymerase-proofreading-associated polyposis can be identified, although a hereditary aetiology is likely. This study aimed to explore the impact of APC mutational mosaici...

Animal model of neurodegeneration and stress cause by aluminum toxicity

Electrocortical group neuron activity describe changes in neurotransmision cause by different factors. Such changes could by qualitative described by spectral analysis of electrocortical activity as a variation of relative spectral power in different frequency ranges. We used fractal dimension to compare treated animals with control to quantitativily describe degree of pathophysiological state....

Unexplained fetal growth retardation: what is the cause?

Recent epidemiological studies suggest a link between reduced fetal growth and the subsequent development of hypertension and diabetes in adult life.1-5 An understanding of the aetiology of fetal growth retardation is therefore of increased importance. Fetal adaptations to an adverse uterine environment, of which low birth weight is the most obvious marker, may 'programme' an individual in such...

A case of unexplained episodic loss of consciousness.

T patient was a 49-year-old man with no significant past medical history, normal body mass index, and normal oral/ nasal airway anatomy, who presented with a 4-month history of episodic loss of consciousness while working as a cemetery caretaker. The patient lost consciousness while using a riding lawnmower at the cemetery during his morning landscaping duties; this caused him to lean forward i...
