OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to investigate the clinical and laboratory findings of patients with AAamyloidosis. MATERIAL and METHODS: Fifty-nine patients with AA-amyloidosis were included in this study. The patients were d...

Heart rate (HR) is a practical indicator of physiological load and arousal, yet its shot by shot relationship with tennis performance remains insufficiently characterized. We quantified associations between HR and stroke...

Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a major global One Health challenge, with increasing recognition of the role of wildlife in the environmental circulation of resistant bacteria. Wild birds, p...

Abstract Invasive infections due to Magnusiomyces/Saprochaete species are an emerging problem in immunocompromised patients and are often underrecognized because of misidentification and intrinsic resistance to some anti...

OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to assess cognitive dysfunction, which is common in hemodialysis patients and difficult to diagnose, by an easily applicable test, the Mini Mental State Examination and Clock Drawing Test. MATER...

ABSTRACT Cancer is driven by genomic lesions and malignancy‐promoting transcriptional programs. In blood cancers, both are often interconnected as lesions frequently affect transcription factor (TF)‐encoding genes. T...

Renal artery stenosis is observed in 1-23% of the transplanted kidneys. It may result in graft dysfunction and hypertension but anuria is rare in patients with graft renal artery stenosis. We report a case of proximal tr...
