[Shiga toxin-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome with hypocomplementemia. Report of one case].

The Shiga toxin associated (Stx) hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is an important cause of acute renal failure (ARF) and the most common cause of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in pediatrics. Primary atypical HUS (aHUS) is a rare disease due to a genetic defect in the alternative complement pathway. Both diseases may share clinical and laboratory elements, making differential diagnosis difficult, such as the presence of diarrhea in aHUS or complement alterations in HUS-Stx.

A new logistic-type model for pricing European options.

We propose a family of models for the evolution of the price process [Formula: see text] of a financial market. We model share price and volatility using a two-dimensional system of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by a single Wiener process. We prove that this family of models is well defined and that each model from this family is free of arbitrage opportunities, and it is (state) complete.

Seroreactivities against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis p35 and p36 antigens in Crohn's disease patients.

Crohn's disease (CD) is an idiopathic chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Accurate diagnosis of the disease is of great clinical importance to assess its prognosis and success of therapy. Recent studies have validated and confirmed the potential utility of anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast; ASCA) IgG/IgA antibodies and anti-M.
