3rd Surgical Department Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, AHEPA Hospital Thessaloniki Greece.
Article Synopsis
- - Atypical parathyroid tumors are a type of parathyroid growth that may or may not be cancerous, making their behavior unpredictable.
- - Diagnosing these tumors before surgery can be tricky, which poses challenges for medical professionals.
- - Surgeons may lean towards more aggressive surgical treatment if there are any signs that the tumor could be malignant.
RNA Editing Alterations Define Disease Manifestations in the Progression of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE).

November 2022
Neurodegenerative Diseases Research Group, Department of Pharmacy, School of Health Sciences, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 541 24 Thessaloniki, Greece.
Article Synopsis
- - RNA editing is an epitranscriptomic process involving ADAR and APOBEC enzymes that can alter RNA and plays a significant role in various diseases, including autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS).
- - The study focused on its impact in a model called experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), which mimics aspects of MS, by analyzing microglia data and testing transgenic mice lacking APOBEC-1.
- - Findings revealed reduced RNA editing events during disease progression in knock-out mice, leading to worse EAE symptoms, suggesting RNA editing regulates mechanisms that may apply to MS and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Mutations in the gene, encoding for the folate alpha receptor (FRa), represent a rare recessive genetic cause of cerebral folate deficiency (CFD), a potentially reversible neurometabolic condition. Patients typically present with developmental delay, seizures, abnormal movements, and delayed myelination. We hereby expand the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of the disease with the report of the first two Greek siblings that were found compound heterozygous for one known gene mutation (p.

Gestation is a period of significant physiological changes that can severely affect the function of many systems, including the cardiovascular. The deviation from the standard that occurs during pregnancy may cause the deterioration of pre-existent cardiovascular diseases or the appearance of new ones. In this review we will present the most common congenital and acquired cardiovascular diseases, their clinical expression and therapeutic procedures according to the latest international guidelines.
