Background Hypersentivity Syndrome (HS) may be a life-threatening condition.It frequently presents with fever, rash, eosinophilia and systemic manifestations.Mortality can be as high as 10% and is primarily due to hepatic failure.We describe what we believe to be the first case of minocycline-induced HS with accompanying lymphocytic meningitis and
An initial map of chromosomal segmental copy number variations in the chicken
Abstract Background Chromosomal segmental copy number variation (CNV) has been recently recognized as a very important source of genetic variability.Some CNV loci involve genes or conserved regulatory elements.Compelling evidence indicates that CNVs impact genome functions.The chicken is a very important farm animal species which has also served as
Successful growth of fresh retinoblastoma cells in chorioallantoic membrane
Abstract The authors developed a retinoblastoma model using fresh harvested cells from an pedal arm axle enucleated eye that were transplanted in chick embryos (chorioallantoic membrane model).The transplanted embryos were treated with escalating doses of Melphalan.This exploratory model was developed with the goal of testing drug sensitivity.Our f
Migraine and tension-type headache triggers in a Greek population
Migraine and tension type headache are the two most common primary headaches.The purpose of this study was to detect differences in clinical characteristics and headache triggers and in a Greek cohort of 51 migraineurs and 12 patients with tension-type headache.(TTH) Migraine patients had a significantly lower age at headache onset and frequency, h
