We investigated the idea of possible anti-inflammatory treatment approaches for inflammatory disorders in the CNS. The articles used for this review were searched through PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google scholar and published between January 2000 and July 2013. The CNS has its own type of defensive mechanism. The crosstalk…

We have developed phiSITE, database of gene regulation in bacteriophages. To date it contains detailed information about more than 700 experimentally confirmed or predicted regulatory elements (promoters, operators, terminators and attachment sites) from 32 bacteriophages belonging to Siphoviridae, Myoviridae and Podov…

BACKGROUND: The majority of cases of cerebral palsy (CP) have their pathogenesis during fetal development and are a form of congenital anomaly, the aetiology of which is uncertain. Anomalous development of other organs evident at birth is also a congenital anomaly. A small proportion of these are known to be caused by…

A systematic review of the literature was undertaken to evaluate the criteria used for the diagnostic classification of traumatic dental injuries from an epidemiological standpoint.

The supratrochlear artery represents a terminal branch of the ophthalmic artery. Cosmetic interventions may traumatize it, resulting in a circulation in the lesion in glabellar region and in the medial aspect of the forehead. This review article aims to synopsise the existing knowledge of the anatomy of the supratrochl…

INTRODUCTION: Pregnant women are heavy users of Internet and this has an impact on their medical follow-up. The purpose of this study is to highlight the ethical issues related to the use of the Internet by women in their medical care. METHODE: Through a systematic literature review conducted on PubMed/Medline, Web of…

Rates of anxiety disorders among individuals who use methamphetamine are estimated to be as high as 30.2%. The presence of an anxiety disorder in methamphetamine users is associated with higher rates of relapse, non-adherence to treatment and poorer outcomes relative to methamphetamine users without an anxiety disorder…

Acute Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a common disease associated with the significant morbidity and mortality. We reviewed clinical outcomes systematically with Dabigatran as a direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) for treatment of acute VTE. We used Ovide, PubMed, Cochrane (CENTRAL), EMBASE, Scopus, Science Direct, LILAC…

In this article, an update is presented of the correlation of imaging and genetic findings in congenital malformations of the central nervous system (CMCNS). A nonsystematic search of the PubMed/Medline database was performed. The congenital disorders were classified in 3 groups of malformation: ventral induction disor…

OBJECTIVES: To review the literature on how implant surface characteristics influence peri-implant disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A search of PubMed and The Cochrane Library of the Cochrane Collaboration (CENTRAL) as well as a hand search of articles were conducted. Publications and articles accepted for publication u…

There has been considerable research interest in the effects of exercise upon depression outcomes. Recently, health agencies in the United Kingdom (UK) and beyond have made several guidance statements on this issue. Therefore, this review seeks to provide a synthesis of evidence regarding the effectiveness of exercise…

Paediatric patients who are critically unwell typically require a central venous access device (CVAD) to streamline medical procedures and minimise risks associated with repeated venipuncture. However, infectious and non-infectious complications are common, with considerable clinical and cost sequelae. This review aime…

PURPOSE: This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate whether usage of corticosteroids was associated with an increased risk of central serous chorioretinopathy by summarizing all available evidence. METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched for all relevant studies publi…

Primary central nervous system lymphoma remission after steroid treatment is a well-known phenomenon, but remission without any type of treatment is extremely rare. We present a rare case of spontaneous remission of a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system as well as its subsequent reappearance in…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Two tumor foci are the most common in multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma, but whether they should be regarded as the indicator of central lymph node metastasis remains unclear. To investigate the role of two tumor foci for predicting central lymph node metastasis, we performed a meta-analy…

BACKGROUND: Central nervous system (CNS) development and physiopathology are greatly affected by environmental stimuli. The intestinal barrier restricts the entrance of toxins, pathogens, and antigens while modulating the expression of various neuroactive compounds. The existence of a rich gut-to-brain communication ra…

BACKGROUND: Central pancreatectomy is an alternative technique for benign or low-grade malignant tumors.
