Vitamin D status, vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism, and haplotype in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis: Correlation with susceptibility and parasite load index.

Background: CL endemicity was reported worldwide including in Saudi Arabia, imposing a major challenge on the health authorities. Vitamin D and its receptor (VDR) are key modulators of the immune response where the VDR is expressed. A remarkable lack of data exists in humans about the contribution of vitamin D and polymorphisms of the VDR gene in protozoan infections, especially cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL).

and seropositivity in juvenile idiopathic arthritis and its relation to disease activity and type of therapies.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most frequently encountered autoimmune rheumatic disease in children. To our knowledge, this is the first study aimed to estimate the frequency of ( and seropositivity in JIA and assess its relation to the disease activity, IL-10 levels, and type of the received therapies. This study was conducted on 43 JIA patients and 50 cases as a control group.

Abdominal Pseudocyst: A Rare Complication of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunts.

We present the case of a 69-year-old man patient who was brought with a history of gait disturbances, memory impairment, and urinary incontinence with gradual worsening over the past six months. The patient underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the brain which demonstrated enlarged ventricles, widening of the Sylvian fissure, and narrow sulci at the vertex. Subsequently, the patient underwent a lumbar puncture which revealed a normal opening pressure with normal cerebrospinal fluid analysis.
