Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) attacks are characterized as recurrent, transient episodes of muscle weakness that range from mild weakness to complete flaccid paralysis. Episodes of weakness are accompanied by hypokalemia, which left untreated can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias (6). In this case study, we followed a patient's potassium levels analyzing how they correlate with electro...

Thyrotoxic Periodic Paralysis (TPP) is a rare and life threatening condition commonly occurring in young Asian males. It is characterized by acute paralytic attacks and hypokalemia in association with thyrotoxicosis. Serum potassium levels may be normal in rare cases of TPP. The diagnosis of normokalemic TPP may be overlooked and/or delayed in most cases. Here, we describe a 32-year-old Iranian...

Abstract Intermittent fasting blunts inflammation in asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting that may be exploited as an immune-modulatory intervention. However, mechanisms underpinning anti-inflammatory effects of remain poorly characterized. Here, we show humans is sufficient to blunt CD4+ T helper cell responsiveness. RNA-seq flow cytometric immunophenotyping peripheral blood mononuclear...

In this paper, some properties of the periodic shadowing are presented. It is shown that a homeomorphism has the periodic shadowing property if and only if so does every lift of it to the universal covering space. Also, it is proved that continuous mappings on a compact metric space with the periodic shadowing and the average shadowing property also have the shadowing property and then are chao...
