A scoping review of dementia education programs to assess for the inclusion of culture.

This scoping review examined literature on dementia education programs (DEPs) for healthcare providers and students. The search was conducted using the Discover! search engine that includes 63 databases. The review included a total of 25 articles that met the eligibility criteria.

Dilatative fetal cardiomyopathy followed by a mirror syndrome.

Mirror syndrome (Ballantyne syndrome) is a rare condition characterized by maternal edema, which often affects the lungs. It mirrors the image of fetal and placental edema; therefore, it is also called triple edema. We present the case of a 37-year-old secundigravida, referred to our clinic at 26 weeks of a pregnancy complicated by fetal dilatative restrictive cardiomyopathy and hydrops, placentomegaly, new-onset dyspnea, and maternal calf edema.

The smallest dislocated microduplication of Xq27.1 harboring gene associated with XX male phenotype.

Objectives: Approximately 90% of "XX males" are positive for . However, there are isolated cases of sex reversal associated to other genes in male-determining pathway.

Case Presentation: We describe a 1.

Gamification of dementia education in hospitals: a knowledge translation project.

This knowledge translation study qualitatively explores strategies that facilitated hospital staff engagement in online educational games for dementia education. Interdisciplinary staff (n = 2010) in 10 hospitals played online games to learn about basic communication techniques. We identified five facilitating strategies, E-GAME: Easy access to learning, Give both extrinsic and intrinsic rewards, Apply implementation science theory, Multiple tools, and Evaluation.

Effect of Prolonged Photoperiod on Light-Dependent Photosynthetic Reactions in .

Industrial hemp is a fast-growing, short-day plant, characterized by high biomass yields and low demands for cultivation. To manipulate growth, hemp is usually cultivated under prolonged photoperiods or continuous light that could cause photooxidative damage and adjustments of photosynthetic reactions. To determine the extent of changes in photosynthetic response caused by prolonged light exposure, we employed chlorophyll fluorescence measurements accompanied with level of lipid peroxidation (TBARS) and FT-IR spectroscopy on two cultivars.

Susceptibility to chromosome instability and occurrence of the regular form of Down syndrome in young couples.

Although the risk of pregnancy with Down syndrome (DS) increases with age, conceptions with trisomy 21 can occur in mothers aged 35 or less. The micronucleus test on peripheral blood lymphocytes is a well-recognized method for studying chromosomal instability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application of the micronucleus assay and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for estimation of chromosome instability and occurrence of trisomy 21 in young parents having pregnancy or a child with the regular form of Down syndrome.

Prenatally detected encephalocele associated with a novel pathogenic TCTN3 variant: A case report and literature review.

Primary cilia are a component of almost all vertebrate cells with a crucial role in sensing and transducing environmental signals during tissue development. Their dysfunction is known as ciliopathies and can manifest with a wide spectrum of clinical disorders. Overlapping features and molecular heterogeneity of ciliopathies make diagnoses distinctly challenging.

Mid trimester amniotic fluid soluble receptor tunica interna endothelial cell kinase-2 levels and risk for preeclampsia.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine if elevated concentration of soluble receptor tunica interna endothelial cell kinase-2 (Tie-2) in the amniotic fluid represent a risk factor for the subsequent development of preeclampsia (PE).

Study Design: Amniotic fluid samples were collected as a part of routine clinical diagnostics from women referred to clinical care due to genetic indications. A total of 12 women with preeclampsia and 26 normotensive pregnant women were included in the study.

Fetal Cystic Hygroma Associated with Terminal 2p25.1 Duplication and Terminal 3p25.3 Deletion: Cytogenetic, Fluorescent Hybridization and Microarray Familial Characterization of Two Different Chromosomal Structural Rearrangements.

We report a prenatally diagnosed case of partial trisomy 2p and partial monosomy 3p, resulting from unbalanced translocation (2;3)(p25.1;p25.3) of paternal origin.

Prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome: A 13-year retrospective study.

Objective: The aim of this study is to summarize the experience on prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome.

Materials And Methods: The study includes a retrospective data analysis of 157 prenatally detected cases of Down syndrome, routinely diagnosed among 6448 prenatal investigations performed during a 13-year period (2002-2014) in a single tertiary center.

Results: The prevalence of diagnosed Down syndrome cases was 2.

Prenatal diagnosis of complex phenotype in a 13-week-old fetus with an interstitial multigene deletion 20q13.13.-q13.2 by chromosomal microarray.

We report the first trimester three-dimensional ultrasonographic findings in a 13-week-old fetus with complex phenotype and a de novo 4.7 Mb multigene deletion encompassing chromosome region 20q13.13-q13.

Prenatal diagnosis of 18p deletion and isochromosome 18q mosaicism in a fetus with a cystic hygroma.

Although, deletion of short arm of chromosome 18 is one of the most frequent autosomal terminal deletions, mosaic form of 18p deletion is infrequently observed. Furthermore, prenatally detected cases of 18p deletion and isochromosome 18q mosaicism are extremely rare. Herein, we present a case of del(18p)/i(18q) mosaicism, prenatally detected after chori- onic villus sampling.

Prenatal diagnosis of sex chromosome aneuploidies and disorders of sex development--a retrospective analysis of 11-year data.

Objective: Analysis of prenatally diagnosed sex chromosome aneuploidies and disorders of sex development (DSDs).

Methods: This study includes a retrospective data analysis of 46 prenatally detected sex chromosome aneuploidies and one case of 46,XY DSD diagnosed during an 11-year period (2002-2012) at our department.

Results: Of the 46 sex chromosome aneuploidies, 29 cases (63.
