RASGRP1 Deficiency Associated with Diffuse Mesangial Sclerosis Infantile Nephrotic Syndrome and Epstein-Barr Virus-Induced Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

: RAS guanyl-releasing protein 1 (RASGRP1) deficiency is characterized by immune dysregulation and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related lymphoproliferation. Diffuse mesangial sclerosis is one of the infrequent causes of infantile nephrotic syndrome. : Here, we described a 7-year-old girl who was diagnosed with diffuse mesangial sclerosis at 5 months old and subsequently developed chronic bilateral neck swelling at the age of 3 years.

Internal Fixation for Unstable Distal Ulnar Fractures by 2.7 mm Semitubular Hook Plate.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the outcomes of the use of a 2.7 mm semitubular hook plate for internal fixation of unstable metaphyseal ulnar fractures. Between January 2015 and July 2019, 30 consecutive patients with a recent unstable distal ulnar fracture were included in this prospective case series.

Patient-Reported Outcomes of Orthodontic Treatment for Mild Crowding With Modified Aligner Appliance With Nickel-Titanium Springs: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background and objectives A modified aligner appliance with nickel-titanium springs (MAA) is a relatively new appliance that has not received extensive attention in orthodontics. This study evaluated the patient-reported outcomes when orthodontic treatment was provided using a modified aligner appliance to treat mild lower incisor crowding. Materials and methods This prospective cohort study consisted of 42 patients (11 males and 31 females; mean age 21.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of an Evidence-Based Practice in Neonatal Resuscitation among Birth Asphyxiated Newborns in a Developing Country.

Introduction: The World Health Organization emphasizes that neonatal resuscitation performed in the first "golden minute" following birth can influence both immediate and long-term outcomes of newborns, especially asphyxiated ones. The modes of resuscitation, which is an evidenced-based practice, require evaluation to identify their effectiveness.

Objectives: This study evaluated neonatal resuscitation techniques and their effectiveness in the management of asphyxiated neonates during the perinatal period.
