Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the role of the ZDHHC15 gene in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) within a family that has multiple members diagnosed with the condition and a specific 1.7 Mb deletion on the X chromosome.
- - The three family members with ASD exhibited normal cognitive abilities but had an abnormal sensory profile, and the affected individuals were found to carry a deletion involving ZDHHC15 and other nearby genes.
- - The findings indicate that ZDHHC15 could be a potential candidate gene for ASD and may be linked to other neurodevelopmental disorders, exhibiting characteristics like incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity.

Treatment options include both surgical and endoscopic procedures. The size of the fistula and the functional status of the patient are decisive factors in the choice of treatment.

Methods: We performed a double-blind, randomized metformin-placebo study.
Physiological and pathological processes differ in men and women, depending on factors such as sex and sociological and anthropological characteristics. However, many diseases are still approached from a masculine point of view. In this respect, ischemic heart disease is one of the diseases that most clearly reflects biological differences and social inequalities.

Strict protective measures in the unloading process were established in 1998 to avoid the release of soybean dust into the atmosphere. The present study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of these latest environmental measures, and, if effective, to recommend their implementation in the many harbours where soybean is unloaded.

Methods: One hundred patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups. In group A (axillary) median, radial, and musculocutaneus nerves were located by a nerve stimulator and injections were made.
