Article Synopsis
- The herpes simplex viruses, HSV-1 and HSV-2, are common globally and currently have no definitive cure, prompting an analysis of their distinct characteristics based on various factors such as gender, age, and health conditions.
- A study was conducted using data from the Israeli Central Virology Laboratory between 2011 and 2018, where 9189 samples were diagnosed, alongside a detailed medical data extraction from 287 females with genital infections.
- Findings revealed that HSV-2 infections were more prevalent in females and that pregnancy is a significant risk factor for reactivation of HSV-2, with a higher incidence found in women diagnosed with HSV-2 compared to those with HSV-1.
Background: Chest radiography is an important tool in the care of infants in intensive care units. Image optimization must be monitored to minimize radiation exposure in this susceptible population.
Objective: To examine the use of a high tube peak kilovoltage technique to achieve radiation dose reduction while maintaining adequate image quality.
Background: Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is a progressive autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cachexia, gastrointestinal (GI) dysmotility, ptosis, peripheral neuropathy, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) white matter changes. Bi-allelic TYMP mutations lead to deficient thymidine phosphorylase (TP) activity, toxic accumulation of plasma nucleosides (thymidine and deoxyuridine), nucleotide pool imbalances, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) instability. Death is mainly due to GI complications: intestinal perforation, peritonitis, and/or liver failure.
