- * Carbamazepine has long been the go-to option for treating both simple and complex partial seizures, while lacosamide was approved in 2008 as an additional treatment.

It commonly occurs in young adults showing a female predilection in the anterior mandible. Multifocal CGCGs in maxillofacial region are very rare and suggestive of systemic diseases such as hyperparathyroidism, an inherited syndrome such as Noonan-like multiple giant cell lesion syndrome or other disorders.

Background: Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy may develop nail alterations resulting from infection, skin disorder, or drug regimen.
Objective: This study aims to describe nail changes in PV female patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy and to report the frequency of associated fungal and bacterial growth in the patients' nails.
Methods: Twenty-five female PV patients who had at least one acquired finger or toenail abnormality and had been administered at least one immunosuppressive drug were included in the study.
Background: In chronic kidney disease the contribution of decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) versus enhanced inflammation to cause insulin resistance (IR) is controversial.
Aim: This pilot observational study examines, therefore, the prevalence of IR after kidney donation and factors that may determine its level.
Methods: Insulin, proinsulin, adiponectin, malondialdehyde, and hsCRP were measured by conventional techniques in 14 previous kidney donors and 25 healthy volunteers.
