Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a conformational disease that is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition in the brain. Aβ exerts its toxicity in part by receptor-mediated interactions that cause down-stream protein misfolding and aggregation, as well as mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent reports indicate that Aβ may also interact directly with intracellular proteins such as the mitochondrial enzy...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Outbreaks of cholera caused by Vibrio cholerae O1 Ogawa occurred in and around Chandigarh during two successive year 2002 and 2003. This study highlights the antibiotic sensitivity and phage typing pattern of V. cholerae isolates during 2002 and 2003. METHODS Faecal specimens from acute gastroenteritis cases from July to September, 2002 and in the same month in 2003 wer...

BACKGROUND The incidence of pregnancy in women with end-stage renal disease seems to be increasing. Improvements in dialysis, obstetrical care, and antenatal fetal monitoring over the past two decades appear to have increased fertility rates and successful pregnancies in dialysis-dependent women. A pregnancy with a successful outcome despite the long dialysis period, as in the patient described...

Patients with acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) are often treated medically. However, ABAD is a potentially serious emergency if complicated by acute organ ischemia. The therapeutic strategy for ABAD with visceral malperfusion remains controversial. Because emergent surgery has a high mortality rate, emergent endovascular treatment can be performed instead. We report a case of endovascular ...

during a faunistic survey on mites associated with fruit trees in birjand region (south khorasan province) in 2010, specimens of two injurious mites were collected. using literature, specimens were identified and confirmed by dr. o. seeman (australia). as a result, two species, namely schizotetranychus sayedi attiah, 1967 collected from fig, almond, grape, apple and apricot in fodaj, alghorat, ...

It is well established that the intracellular accumulation of Aβ (amyloid β-peptide) is associated with AD (Alzheimer's disease) and that this accumulation is toxic to neurons. The precise mechanism by which this toxicity occurs is not well understood; however, identifying the causes of this toxicity is an essential step towards developing treatments for AD. One intracellular location where the...

Sir, Acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) is a life-threatening vascular emergency with an incidence estimated at 5-30 per 1 million people per year.[1] Available evidence support endovascular and surgical treatment for ABAD complicated by shock or organ damage. In uncomplicated ABAD, benefits of endovascular treatment are not well established and the preferred management mandates close clinic...
