Helsmoortel-van der Aa syndrome in a Chinese pediatric patient due to nonsense mutation: A case report.

Background: Helsmoortel-van der Aa syndrome, also known as syndrome, is a condition that causes developmental delay, language impairment, autism spectrum, and variable extraneurologic features. It is caused by heterozygous mutations in the gene on chromosome 20q13. Most of the genetic causes of Helsmoortel-van der Aa syndrome have been reported are as nonsense or frameshift stop mutations in exon 5 of gene, while fewer truncating variants were discovered in exons 4 and the 5' end of exon 5.

Early Spontaneous Abortion in Fresh- and Frozen-Embryo Transfers: An Analysis of Over 35,000 Transfer Cycles.

Background: The aim of this study was to explore the risk factors for early spontaneous abortion (ESA) in fresh- and frozen-embryo transfers.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study comprised a total of 35,076 patients, including 15,557 women in the fresh-embryo transfer group and 19,519 women in the frozen-embryo transfer group from January 2016 to December 2020. The primary outcome of this study was ESA, which we defined as the termination of embryonic development before 12 weeks of pregnancy (i.

Impact of growth hormone supplementation on improving oocyte competence in unexplained poor embryonic development patients of various ages.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of Growth hormone (GH) co-treatment during fertilization (IVF) cycles in women of different ages who manifest unexplained poor embryonic development.

Method: This cohort study included a total of 2647 patients with unexplained poor embryonic development in their previous IVF procedures: 872 women received GH co-treatment and 1775 untreated women served as a control group. Patients were divided into 6 groups according to treatment and stratified by age (<35 years of age, A-GH group and A-control group; 35-40 years, B-GH group and B-control group; and ≥40 years, C-GH group and C-control group).

Rediscovery and amended descriptions of (Begoniaceae) from North Myanmar.

Tebbitt was rediscovered in 2014 from Myanmar after 67 years based on its last collection in 1937. Its previously unknown female flower and inaccurate morphology of leaf and ovary have been additionally described. This species belongs to Begonia sect.

Mild encephalopathy/encephalitis with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS): A report of five neonatal cases.

Mild encephalopathy/encephalitis with a reversible splenial (MERS) lesion is a clinic-radiological entity. The clinical features of MERS in neonates are still not systemically reported. This paper presents five cases of MERS, and the up-to-date reviews of previously reported cases were collected and analyzed in the literature.

Taxonomic status, phylogenetic affinities and genetic diversity of a presumed extinct genus, Paraisometrum W.T. Wang (gesneriaceae) from the karst regions of Southwest China.

Background: The karst regions in South China have an abundance of endemic plants that face high extinction risks. The Chinese Gesneriaceae endemic Paraisometrum mileense ( = Oreocharis mileensis), was presumed extinct for 100 years. After its re-discovery, the species has become one of five key plants selected by the Chinese forestry government to establish a new conservation category for plants with extremely small populations.

Interleukin-8 serum levels in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: correlations with clinicopathological features and prognosis.

Purpose: In this study, we measured the serum interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to evaluate its correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis.

Experimental Design: ELISA was used to detect the concentrations of IL-8, vascular endothelial growth factor, and macrophage migration inhibitory factor in preoperative sera of 59 patients with resection of HCC and 15 healthy subjects.

Results: Preoperative serum IL-8 was found to be significantly elevated in patients with HCC compared with healthy subjects (median, 17.

Learning curve of a new hospital laboratory. The monitoring of computer-generated turnaround time of laboratory tests in an emergency department.

Learning curves have been described for different health technologies, mainly new surgical or diagnostic procedures, but learning curves for a new hospital's laboratory procedures have not been systematically studied. To monitor the timeliness (turnaround time) of stat tests from the Emergency Department as a marker of laboratory quality and to address the issue of a learning curve for procedures performed in a new hospital laboratory, we employed a computerized system for collecting data of turnaround time (from order entry to result verification) on stat tests from the Emergency Department of a newly opened (July 24, 2000) 471-bed general hospital. The data collection operates without user intervention.
