H Syndrome Masquerade as Rheumatologic Disease
Background H syndrome is an autosomal recessive genodermatosis with a low prevalence which is caused by a mutation in SLC29A3 gene. This disorder is characterized by sclerotic, hyperpigmented, hypertrichotic cutaneous plaques with systemic involvement including: hepatosplenomegaly, heart anomalies, hearing loss, hypogonadism, low height, and hyperglycemia. Case Presentation Here we have pres...
متن کاملAerobic actinomycetes that masquerade as pulmonary tuberculosis
Pulmonary cavities are caused by tissue necrosis that leads to the exclusion of a portion of the pulmonary parenchyma via the bronchial tree. In general, the differential diagnosis of pneumonitis with cavitations includes infectious and noninfectious causes (Table 1). The infectious causes include bacteria such as community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Actinomyces or ...
متن کاملTaxol Crystals Can Masquerade as Stabilized Microtubules
Taxol is a potent anti-mitotic drug used in chemotherapy, angioplastic stents, and cell biology research. By binding and stabilizing microtubules, Taxol inhibits their dynamics, crucial for cell division, motility, and survival. The drug has also been reported to induce formation of asters and bundles composed of stabilized microtubules. Surprisingly, at commonly used concentrations, Taxol form...
متن کاملMasquerade
John Skelhorn introduces masquerade, a strategy of prey animals to resemble inanimate (and inedible) objects.
متن کاملTransferrin-Targeted Nanoparticles Containing Zoledronic Acid as a Potential Tool to Inhibit Glioblastoma Growth.
The treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) is a challenge for the biomedical research since cures remain elusive. Its current therapy, consisted on surgery, radiotherapy, and concomitant chemotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ), is often uneffective. Here, we proposed the use of zoledronic acid (ZOL) as a potential agent for the treatment of GBM. Our group previously developed self-assembling nanoparticle...
