Implantation of cardiac defibrillator in an infant with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and newly identified mutation.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has the highest incidence rate among genetically inherited cardiac diseases. It develops as a result of mutations in genes in related to the sarcomere protein in cardiac muscle. Generally, this results in asymmetrical hypertrophy.

The Effect of Inhaler Aromatherapy on Invasive Pain, Procedure Adherence, Vital Signs, and Saturation During Port Catheterization in Oncology Patients.

Sixty patients including 30 patients in the intervention group and 30 patients in the control group, who were subjected with the same local anesthetic protocol, were included in the study.

A novel mutation in a case of pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia.

Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) type Ia is characterized by multiple hormone resistance; primarily parathyroid hormone (PTH) resistance and Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) which involves skeletal and developmental defects. The AHO phenotype alone without hormone resistance is defined as pseudoPHP. A boy was first diagnosed as having both rickets and primary hypothyroidism at 2.
