Background/aim: several studies have looked at the potential link between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and the risk of hypertension and have shown that the DD polymorphism may be associated with a higher prevalence of hypertension. Our objective was to assess for possible association between ACE variants and hypertension in a sample of Lebanese patients.
Methods: one hundred ninety-two Lebanese subjects were included.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of lamotrigine in infants under one year with severe seizures, specifically looking at its impact over three months.
- It found that both partial seizures and infantile spasms significantly decreased in frequency after treatment, along with observable changes in the drug's clearance based on the infants' age.
- Overall, lamotrigine was deemed effective and well tolerated in young infants, though its dosage and effects vary with age, highlighting the importance of adjusting treatment as the child grows.
The aim of this study was to compare the pregnancy outcome and delivery complications in women 40 years or older (cases) to that of women 20 to 30 years old (controls). Over a 5-year period, 319 cases had a singleton delivery in our institution. These women were compared with 326 controls.
