WSTĘP Od czasu pierwszego zastosowania u człowieka automatycznego kardiowertera-defibrylatora (ICD) w 1980 r. nastąpił znaczący postęp technologiczny. Urządzenia z elektrodami wszczepialnymi nasierdziowo przez torakotomię zostały zastąpione układami całkowicie przezżylnymi. Kolejne modyfikacje pozwoliły na zastosowanie sterowania i stymulacji dwujamowej, a także w późniejszym okresie — terapii ...

testing revealed that the patient was positive for HLA-DRB1*04, HLA-DRB1*12, HLA-DQB1*03, andHLA-DQB1*04. To best of our knowledge, this is first case fulminant T1DM reported to occurimmediately after COVID-19 infection.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Sağlık Araştırma ve Uygulama Merkezi Doku Tipleme Laboratuvarına başvuran kişilerde HLA sınıf I II allel sıklığının belirlenmesi genotipleme sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç yöntem: Çalışmamızda toplam 1903 kişinin verileri incelenmiş sıklığı hesaplanmıştır. A, B DRB1 allelleri tüm örneklerde, C DQB1 alleleri 493 kişide çalışılmıştır. Değerlendirmeye alınm...

Background: Human T cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-associated myelopa-thy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is an inflammatory disease which occurs in less than 2% of HTLV-I -infected individuals. High proviral load, high HTLV-I-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte frequency (CTL) and host genetic factors such as HLA all appear to be associated with HTLV-I infection. Previous stud...

background and objective: the outcome of hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection may be influenced by host factors like human leukocyte antigen (hla). we have investigated hla-a and drb1 alleles in patients with persistent hepatitis b infection compared to subjects who had spontaneously recovered from hbv infection. to complete the findings of this study we performed another survey in certain hla all...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease of the central nervous system of unknown etiology. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus on chromosome 6 confers a considerable part of the susceptibility to MS, and the most important factor is the class II allele HLA-DRB1*15:01. In addition, we and others have previously established a protective effect of HLA-A*02. Here, we genotyped 1,784 patien...

Dogs exhibit a range of immune-mediated conditions including a lymphocytic thyroiditis which has many similarities to Hashimoto's thyroiditis in man. We have recently reported an association in Doberman Pinschers between canine hypothyroidism and a rare DLA class II haplotype that contains the DLA-DQA1*00101 allele. We now report a further series of 173 hypothyroid dogs in a range of breeds whe...

Objective To explore genetic association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and neurodegenerative diseases investigate mechanisms behind the association. Background Pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's (PD) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) involves accumulation tau (neurofibrillary tangles) amyloid-ß-rich (amyloid plaques) aggregates in AD, a-synuclein-rich (Lewy bodie...

The critical role of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system in presenting peptides to antigen-specific T cell receptors may explain why only some human papillomavirus (HPV)-infected women progress to cervical cancer. HLA class II DRB1 and DQB1 genes were examined in 315 women with invasive squamous cell cervical cancer (SCC) and 381 control subjects. Increased risks of SCC were associated wit...

We have searched for molecular hydrogen in damped Lyman-α (DLA) and subDLA systems at high redshift (zabs > 1.8) using UVES at the VLT down to a detection limit of typically N(H2) = 2×10 14 cm. Out of the 33 systems in our sample, 8 have firm and 2 have tentative detections of associated H2 absorption lines. Considering that 3 detections were already known from past searches, molecular hydrogen...
