- - Scabies is a common skin condition caused by a mite, leading to very itchy bumps, typically found in specific areas like hands, groin, and armpits, but can occasionally spread widely and worsen into severe forms like crusted scabies.
- - A case study of a 69-year-old man reveals that he developed crusted scabies alongside other health issues, including immune thrombocytopenic purpura and muscle weakness, after self-medicating with corticosteroids.
- - Despite effective treatment for scabies, the patient tragically died from bacterial sepsis, highlighting the risk of misdiagnosis and complications that can arise from using immunosuppressive medications to treat mistaken diagnoses.
The F type mitochondrial genome of the scorched mussel: Brachidontes exustus, (Mytiloida, Mytilidae).
Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal
October 2016
The nominal species Brachidontes exustus (Linnaeus, 1758) is a cryptic complex. Long polymerase chain reactions and direct sequencing by primer walking was used to determine the complete F type mitochondrial genome of the Gulf of Mexico clade. The genome is 16,600 bp long and contains a single large unassigned presumptive control region, 13 protein-coding genes, 23 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, all coded for on the heavy chain.
