Everolimus-Related Chylothorax: A Rare Case Report.

Everolimus is an orally administered mechanistic target of rapamycin inhibitor in solid-organ transplant patients. In addition to the common adverse side effects of this treatment, such as hyperlipidemia, rash, stomatitis, anorexia, diarrhea, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukopenia, pulmonary toxicity is also an important adverse side effect. Although pulmonary toxicity due to everolimus has been reported mostly as pneumonitis, cases of pleural effusion due to everolimus have also been reported rarely.

Expression of E-Cadherin and Ber-EP4 in the Trophoblastic Tissues of Intrauterine and Ectopic Tubal Pregnancies.

We investigated the role of E-cadherin and Ber-EP4 in tubal pregnancy by comparing their expressions in epithelial and trophoblastic cells both in ectopic tubal and intrauterine pregnancies. The Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded blocks of 17 intrauterine and 17 tubal pregnancies were immunohistochemically stained with E-cadherin and Ber-EP4. E-cadherin was expressed in the epithelium, villous and extravillous trophoblast in tubal and intrauterine pregnancies but not in the syncytiotrophoblast.

Spondylo-meta-epiphyseal dysplasia (SMED), short limb-hand abnormal calcification type: Further expanding the mutational spectrum and dental findings of three new patients.

Genetic skeletal disorders are clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders that affect the normal development, growth, and maintenance of the human skeleton. Spondylo-meta-epiphyseal dysplasia, short limb-abnormal calcification type (SMED-SL/AC; MIM# 271665) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic skeletal disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, disproportionate short stature, vertebral, metaphyseal, and epiphyseal abnormalities. This unique phenotype is caused by biallelic loss-of-function variants in Discoidin domain receptor 2 gene (DDR2, MIM# 191311).

Biochemical and molecular mechanisms of acaricide resistance in Dermanyssus gallinae populations from Turkey.

The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, is the most important blood sucking ectoparasite of egg laying hens and causes economic losses in poultry farms worldwide. Although various management methods exist, the control of poultry red mites (PRMs) mainly relies on acaricides such as pyrethroids and organophosphates (OPs) in many regions of the world. However, repeated use of these synthetic chemicals has resulted in resistance development causing control failure of PRM.
