A Boy with End-Stage Kidney Disease and Hypertriglyceridemia.

Mutations in the HNF-1β gene have been found to be associated with renal cysts and diabetes syndrome (RCAD), also known as MODY5. The mutation is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion, although sporadic mutations can be seen. Pediatric cases of HNF - 1β mutations are more likely to present with renal involvement like renal failure or renal hypoplasia.

Tolerance mechanisms in maize identified through phenotyping and transcriptome analysis in response to water deficit stress.

Unlabelled: Water deficit is a key limiting factor for maize ( L.) productivity. Elucidating the molecular regulatory networks of stress tolerance is crucial for genetic enhancement of drought tolerance.

Health from the hive: propolis as an adjuvant in the treatment of chronic periodontitis - a clinicomicrobiologic study.

Objectives: This study was aimed at the clinical and microbiological evaluation of the efficacy of subgingivally delivered Indian propolis extract as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in the treatment of periodontitis.

Materials And Methods: Twenty patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis presenting a minimum of two pockets (probing depth ≥5 mm) were selected. Sites were assigned randomly into control sites (n=20) which received SRP alone or test sites (n=20) which received SRP and locally delivered propolis.

mRNA expression of MMP-28 (Epilysin) in gingival tissues of chronic and aggressive periodontitis patients: a reverse transcriptase PCR study.

Background And Objectives: Matrix metalloproteinases degrade extracellular membrane and also release bioactive fragments and growth factors, thus influencing fundamental biological and pathological processes. Epilysin (MMP-28) differs from most other MMPs as it is expressed in a number of normal tissues, suggestive of functions in tissue homeostasis. The aim of the present study was to quantitatively evaluate and compare the mRNA expression of epilysin (MMP-28) in gingival tissues of healthy patients and of patients affected by chronic or aggressive periodontitis.

An Extra-adrenal Pheochromocytoma Presenting as Malignant Hypertension-A Report of two cases.

Malignant hypertension is a complication of hypertension characterized by elevated blood pressure (200mm/140mm Hg), is considered a medical emergency and is rarely secondary to paraganglioma. Malignant hypertension is unique in its relationship to a catecholamine secreting paraganglioma. We present two rare cases of malignant hypertension associated with paraganglioma of tonsil and urinary bladder.
