introduction: complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (previously called testicular feminization) is specified by a 46 xy karyotype and negative sex chromatin, bilateral undescended testes, female genitalia appearance, and lack of mullerian derivatives. discussion: our medline search revealed that this is the first reported case of bilateral sertoli–leydig cell tumor (slct) in androgen insensi...

The relationship of partial bilateral bundle branch Mock to hospital mortality from acute myocardial infarction (MI) was studied concerning the need for prophylactic temporary transvenous pacemakers. Factors examined for their contributions to hospital mortality in 156 consecutive patients with acute MI were: age, sex, race, infarct location, number of prior infarctions, heart failure class (1-...

case presentation here, we report the case of a 35-year-old man complaining of bilateral incomplete eye closure, two weeks after a closed head injury caused by a motor vehicle accident. introduction although bilateral facial nerve palsy is a rare condition, its etiology is more detectable than the unilateral type. a temporal bone fracture is one cause of bilateral facial nerve palsy, contributi...

cd8 deficiency is a rare primary immunodeficiency with low or absent peripheral cd8 cells which results from tap deficiency, zap 70 deficiency and cd8 α gene mutation. we report a 14 year old female who presented with a history of recurrent pneumonia, bronchiectasis, otitis, severe varicella, herpetic lesions of mouth, bilateral uveitis, and cataract formation since the age of 8 years. she had ...

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a non-artherosclerotic cause of claudication and acute ischemia of the legs in young athletic individuals. It is classified in terms of the abnormal anatomical relationship between the popliteal artery and surrounding structures. All types of PAES have the same pathophysiology. Repetitive arterial compression by surrounding structures causes progre...

The real exchange rate real interest rate (RERI) relationship is central to most open economy macroeconomic models. However, empirical support for the relationship, especially when cointegrationbased methods are used, is rather weak. In this paper we reinvestigate the RERI relationship using bilateral real exchange rate data spanning the period 1978 to 1997. We first clarify the logic of applyi...

The influence of common carotid occlusion on intraocular pressure was studied in rabbits by perfusion and tonographic techniques. Bilateral common carotid occlusion caused a greater ocular volume change than homolateral occlusion. If homolateral occlusion was followed by contralateral occlusion, there was consistently an additional fall in intraocular pressure. The initial fall in intraocular p...

objectives in this study, we aimed to investigate the changes in brain lipidomics following prolonged and intermittent ischemic preconditioning. materials and methods two groups underwent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion either intermittently (for 3 continuous periods within a timeframe of 20 minutes, releasing 3 consecutive times, yielding a total of 9 minutes (intermittent bilateral ...
