Article Synopsis
- Head lice infestations are a common issue globally, especially among schoolchildren in Iran, with a recent increase in reported cases across various provinces.
- This study focused on the prevalence of head lice and examined genetic resistance mutations in specific cities in Khorasan Razavi Province, using medical records and bioinformatics for data analysis.
- Findings showed a prevalence of 1.59% in 2016 and 1.7% in 2017, with kdr gene mutations present, indicating a growing challenge that necessitates new treatment approaches and better monitoring of resistance to lice treatments.
Background: High frequency of insecticide used to control German cockroaches may lead to insecticide resistance development. We aimed to compare the level of insecticide resistance and heterogeneity in insecticide resistance of field-collected German cockroaches in eight selected zones of Mashhad City, Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran.
Methods: The present study was conducted from October 2019 to May 2021.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) in Kuwait, focusing on understanding its genetic diversity and clinical presentation to improve management strategies.
- A total of 60 individuals with suspected ARPKD were examined, revealing a significant mortality rate (33.3%) in newborns, while survivors exhibited a variety of health complications, including hypertension and enlarged cystic kidneys.
- The research identified 12 genetic mutations in over half of the cases, emphasizing the need for personalized diagnostic and treatment approaches for ARPKD.
Introduction: Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the most common food allergy in infants. As this food allergy indicates a wide range of clinical syndromes due to immunological reactions to cow's milk proteins, we aimed to evaluate the status of micronutrients in infants suffering from cow's milk allergy.
Methods: In this historical cohort study, infants with CMA were divided into two equal groups: breastfeeding and diet formula feeding.
Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most important opportunistic pathogens that causes serious health care associated complications in critically ill patients. In the current study we report on the diversity of the clinical multi-drug resistant (MDR) A. baumannii in Kuwait by molecular characterization.
