چکیده
Gastric perforation in neonates is a rare but frequently fatal condition of uncertain etiology. It usually occurs in infants requiring resuscitation or having an episode of hypoxia following birth (1). Although massive pneumoperitoneum is a consistent radiographic characteristic in most of the cases, a few reports have highlighted unusual imaging findings in neonatal gastric perforation (2). Here, we report a case of neonatal spontaneous gastric perforation presenting as gastric outlet obstruction rather than pneumoperitoneum in imaging modalities.

Towards precision medicine in ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack.
Although there is no consensus on the exact definition of precision medicine, it is generally agreed upon that the term entails diagnosis and therapy tailored to the individual patient. Precision medicine has seen major advances in the past two decades, many of which are relevant to ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Advances include substantial improvements in high-throughput ...
متن کاملPrecision medicine of frontotemporal dementia: from genotype to phenotype.
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common neurodegenerative cause of early-onset dementia. FTD has an important genetic component contributing to its pathogenic mechanisms. Currently, extensive research on neuroimaging biomarkers and neurochemical biomarkers in FTD is being conducted to address the clinical need for a sensitive and specific diagnostic marker. Here, we review the ...
متن کاملAdvances in diagnosis, treatments, and molecular mechanistic studies of traumatic brain injury.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a main cause of death and disability around the world especially in soldiers, children, and young men. Since its clinical diagnosis and treatment cannot predict its prognosis, novel diagnostic techniques need to be developed, insight into its molecular mechanisms needs to be gleaned, and alternative and complementary medicine (ACM) approaches to its treatment nee...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Zonula Occludens Toxin (zot) Genes in Vibrio Cholerae O1 using PCR
Background: Zot (Zonula occludens toxin) is one of the secretion toxins of Vibrio cholerae in small intestine that binds to certain receptors in the epithelial cells and causes a change in the structure of tight junction. The purpose of this research is rapid detection of zot enterotoxin gene using PCR. Materials and Methods: The genomic DNA was extracted by DNA isolation kit and gene amplific...
متن کاملRegenerative strategies for preserving and restoring cardiac function.
Over the past decade the cardiovascular regenerative medicine field has made significant advances in our understanding and treatment of injured myocardium. Prior to stem cell therapy, available treatments for cardiovascular disease were unable to repair or regenerate the damaged heart. Stem cell therapy is increasingly becoming a viable option to prevent and treat cardiac dysfunction. A number ...
متن کاملA review of maternally inherited diabetes and deafness.
Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD), a mitochondrial disease first described in 1992, results from the mitochondrial DNA mutation and affects up to 1% of the patients with diabetes. This review discusses the biomedical mechanisms of MIDD patients; summarizes the recent improvement of clinical and genetic diagnosis of MIDD; outlines the advances of the clinical management of these ...
