Article Synopsis
- Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia cases are rising and can lead to severe respiratory issues, complicating diagnosis due to ineffective detection methods.
- A study of 61 pneumonia cases in China classified them into severe and non-severe groups to analyze differences in symptoms, lab results, and treatment.
- Results indicated fever as a key symptom, with elevated CRP and PCT levels being notable, while doxycycline is identified as the preferred treatment for severe cases.
Keloids are abnormally raised fibroproliferative lesions that usually occur following cutaneous traumas. Recently, a large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in three genetic loci that are associated with keloids in Japanese population. Subsequently, two reported loci 1q41 (rs873549 and rs1442440) and 15q21.

Design And Methods: One large-scale GWAS identified association between SNP rs1511412 in the FOXL2 gene and keloid disease in the Japanese population. However, researchers didn't observe significant association for keloid in Chinese Han population (PBonferroni>0.
