Background Lithium poisoning could trigger multiple complications. We report the case of a lithium poisoning with five complications that are described for the first time together. Case report A 60-year-old woman was admitted in our intensive care unit for altered consciousness. Severe lithium intoxication was diagnosed (lithium plasmatic level 8.21 mmol/l) associated with acute oliguric kidn...

1) Background: The Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is a rare congenital disease which courses with severe psychomotor delay in neurodevelopment. We studied a 3-years and 4months old child with very important growth and weight affectation, microcephaly and loss of his developmental skills from 16-months of age, in which previous metabolic and genetic studies discarded any abnormality. Therefore...

The reflexological view of brain function (Sherrington, 1906) has played a crucial role in defining both the nature of connectivity and the role of the synaptic interactions among neuronal circuits. One implicit assumption of this view, however, has been that CNS function is fundamentally driven by sensory input. This view was questioned as early as the beginning of the last century when a poss...

The modern inhibitors of gastric acid secretion reduce very efficiently the aggressiveness of gastroesophageal reflux but they appear to modify the pathophysiological situation in a way that favours the development of Barrett's esophagus (BE). During the last two decades, the prevalence of BE in the population submitted to endoscopy has clearly increased while the peptic stricture of the esopha...

let g be a connected simple (molecular) graph. the distance d(u, v) between two vertices u and v of g is equal to the length of a shortest path that connects u and v. in this paper we compute some distance based topological indices of h-phenylenic nanotorus. at first we obtain an exactformula for the wiener index. as application we calculate the schultz index and modified schultz index of this ...

background: doppler indices of umbilical artery are used as indicator of fetal well being. objective: to compare doppler parameters of umbilical artery including pulsatility index (pi) and resistance index (ri) in patients with preeclampsia with those of normal pregnancies and to evaluate the diagnostic characteristics of these parameters in preeclampsia. materials and methods: in a case contro...

let $g$ be a connected graph, and let $d[g]$ denote the double graph of $g$. in this paper, we first derive closed-form formulas for different distance based topological indices for $d[g]$ in terms of that of $g$. finally, as illustration examples, for several special kind of graphs, such as, the complete graph, the path, the cycle, etc., the explicit formulas for some distance based topologica...

drought as a natural but temporary imbalance of water availability is the interaction between natural environment and human life resulting in diminished water resources availability and reduced carrying capacity of the ecosystems. drought indices are essential elements for an efficient drought monitoring system. these indices make the transforming information of climatic anomalies easier and al...
