Early-onset neonatal hypocalcaemia secondary to maternal vitamin D deficiency in an infant with DiGeorge syndrome: A first case report in Malaysia.

DiGeorge syndrome is a genetic disorder that is related to a wide range of defects affecting various parts of the body. The clinical expression shows marked variability making the diagnosis often missed or underdiagnosed. Here, we describe a neonate who presented with loud inspiratory stridor secondary to hypocalcaemia at birth.

Evaluation of Aspirin and Clopidogrel resistance in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome by using Adenosine Diposphate Test and Aspirin Test.

Objectives: To evaluate Aspirin and Clopidogrel resistance/non-responders in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by using adenosine diposphate and aspirin tests.

Methodology: In the study patients with ACS loaded with 300 mg of clopidogrel and 300 mg aspirin and patients on stable daily dose of 75 mg of clopidogrel (more than 3 days) underwent PCI. Response to clopidogrel and Aspirin was assessed by Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) Test (20 µmol/L) and Aspirin Test (Acetyl Acid) (ASP) 20 µmol/L, respectively, using the Multiplate Platelet Function Analyzer (Dynabyte Medical, Munich, Germany).
