Inborn errors of selenoprotein expression arise from deleterious variants in genes encoding selenoproteins or selenoprotein biosynthetic factors, some of which are associated with neurodegenerative disorders. This study shows that bi-allelic selenocysteine tRNA-specific eukaryotic elongation factor (EEFSEC) variants cause selenoprotein deficiency, leading to progressive neurodegeneration. EEFSEC deficiency, an autosomal recessive disorder, manifests with global developmental delay, progressive spasticity, ataxia, and seizures.

Objectives: Preeclampsia (PE) is a major cause of maternal and fetal mortality, and preterm birth. Previous studies indicate that lipid-apheresis may prolong pregnancy, namely heparin-mediated extracorporeal LDL-precipitation (HELP)- and dextran sulfate cellulose (DSC)-apheresis. We now report on double membrane plasmapheresis (DFPP) in early-onset preeclampsia (eoPE).

Fuchs Uveitis Syndrome (FUS), also known as Fuchs Heterochromic Iridocyclitis, is a chronic form of uveitis characterized by mild inflammation primarily affecting one eye. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and epidemiological features of FUS in an Iranian population. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 466 patients diagnosed with FUS at an ophthalmology center affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences between 2003 and 2021.

Background: Younger women with previous preeclampsia have an increased risk of coronary atherosclerosis. It is unknown if this risk is associated with the time of onset of preeclampsia.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate if women with early-onset preeclampsia have a higher risk of coronary atherosclerosis compared with women with late-onset preeclampsia, independent of other perinatal risk factors.
