- - Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects cilia movement and leads to respiratory issues from birth, but diagnosing it has no standard method and requires specialized tests.
- - The PCD-UNIBE center in Switzerland developed a thorough diagnostic process including nasal brushing, high-speed videomicroscopy (HSVM), immunofluorescence (IF), and electron microscopy (TEM) to assess patients.
- - In their assessment of 100 patients, they found that no single diagnostic method was sufficient; 17 patients were confirmed with PCD while others were either inconclusive or ruled out, emphasizing the need for a multi-faceted approach to reliably diagnose the condition.
Hookworms infection is a soil-transmitted helminthic disease particularly endemic in developing counties of tropical regions. It is attributed mainly to two human pathogens nematodes namely Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale. Although the disease has been characterized as "neglected" is very diffi cult to be eliminated and the economic consequences are great.

The goals of the current study were to determine the frequency and use of optimal local and systemic therapy techniques and to evaluate the impact of these changes on treatment efficacy.
Methods: Six hundred seven patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer Stage I or II invasive breast carcinomas treated with BCT at William Beaumont Hospital (Royal Oak, MI) constituted the study population.
