Successful treatment of a complete Susac syndrome in a 16-year-old boy: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: We reported a pediatric case of SuS with a complete diagnosis triad. Although the optimal treatment of SS is unclear, prompt diagnosis and treatment can result in almost a complete recovery.

Abstract: Susac's syndrome (SuS) is a rare, autoimmune disorder known as a typical triad of sensorineural hearing impairment, central nervous system involvement, and multiple branch retinal artery occlusions (BRAOs).

Water purification modeling by functionalized hourglass-shape multilayer nano-channel.

In this study, inspired by the overall structure and operation of the aquaporin channel, graphene-based nanochannels are proposed to be used as potential membranes for the water purification process. To this end, an hourglass-shaped channel has been designed using the three-layer porous graphene sheets and the effects of some main channel's elements, such as the channel bending angle and attached functional groups to it, on the filtration performance have been examined by using molecular dynamics simulations. We find that a suitable bending channel shape can improve the channel efficiency, i.

Impacts of external electric fields on the permeation of glycerol and water molecules through aquaglyceroporin-7: molecular dynamics simulation approach.

The aquaglyceroporin-7 (AQP7) protein channels facilitate the permeation of glycerol and water molecules through cell membranes by passive diffusion and play a crucial role in cell physiology. Considering the wide-spirit usage of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields in our daily life, in this study, the effects of constant and GHz electric fields were investigated on the dynamics of glycerol and water molecules inside the AQP7. To this end, four different molecular simulation groups were carried out in the absence and presence of electric fields.

Preparing career development model of Iranian nurses using Delphi technique.
