Biomarkers are presented according to their relevant role in the atherosclerotic cascade, a pathologic classification of particular value for internists, as it defines the role of these agents in the pathogenesis of heart disease. Where pertinent, limitations of cardiac biomarkers are discussed, thus allowing the discerning practitioner to remain cognizant of situations that may lead to spurious marker elevation or suppression. The review concludes with highlights on novel avenues of biomarker research that promise an exciting future for these entities.

It may cause self-limited diarrhea to severe dysentery. Emergence of multi drug resistant (MDR) strains is a growing concern globally. Ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin are the drugs of choice for MDR cases. Here, we report a case of MDR Shigella flexneri from an immunocompromised patient. The strain was resistant to ceftriaxone [minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ≥ 64 μg/ml], limiting the treatment option. Simultaneously, the strain was also found to be resistant to ciprofloxacin (MIC ≥ 4 μg/ml). However, it was susceptible to ceftaz...

Opisthotonus, so far, has not been reported in any major psychiatric disorder. Authors report a case of recurrent opisthotonus presenting concurrently with other catatonic signs which showed dramatic response to combination of lorazepam and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Clinicians should consider the possibility of catatonia in the differential diagnosis of opisthotonus since catatonia can be treated easily with benzodiazepines and ECT.

Atrial fibrillation is often asymptomatic and diagnosed only when it has caused a potentially serious complication, such as an ischemic stroke. When atrial fibrillation has been identified, 2 objectives have to be addressed - the antiarrhythmic therapy based on rate control or rhythm control, and prevention of thromboembolism. A rhythm or rate control strategy can be chosen indifferently because they have comparable efficacy for the outcome measure of mortality, but the...

The biofilms enhance the virulence of the pathogen and have their potential role in various infections, such as dental caries, cystic fibrosis, osteonecrosis, urinary tract infection and eye infections.

Our patient's clinical course was so fulminant that the eye was lost in less than 1 month, without any response to therapy. Recognition of this infection is important because many patients die of disseminated Aspergillus infection, which may be detected early with bedside funduscopic examination by an ophthalmologist. Probably if the patient had referred to us earlier, it may have been possible to save the eye.

Our patient's clinical course was so fulminant that the eye was lost in less than 1 month, without any response to therapy. Recognition of this infection is important because many patients die of disseminated Aspergillus infection, which may be detected early with bedside funduscopic examination by an ophthalmologist. Probably if the patient had referred to us earlier, it may have been possible to save the eye.

The disease is an entity with heterogeneous pathology; and diverse suggested etiologies, clinical manifestations and prognoses. There is no single diagnostic test for AOSD; rather, the diagnosis is based on a set of criteria, the most important of which are indeed clinical, but they also include paraclinical ones. Treatment aims at both minimizing inflammation and halting disease progression. For the former, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have limited efficacy; so glucocorticoids in conjunction with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs are also us...

Tight metabolic and blood pressure control has been shown to significantly decrease the risk of development as well as progression of retinopathy and remains a cornerstone in the medical management of DR. Laser photocoagulation and vitrectomy are important tools for preventing severe visual loss from sight-threatening DR and its complications. New pharmacological therapies to target the underlying biochemical mechanisms that cause DR are also being evaluated in order to overcome the limitations of current treatment modalities.

The lymphocyte subsets values of our population are closer to those of the population from Botswana and China rather than the Western population. The absolute CD3 and CD4 counts and the CD4:CD8 ratio are higher in females than in males. Consistently higher values are obtained by the DPT as compared to the SPT.

Our results showed strong association of IL-6 -G174C, and IL-4 -C590T at genotypic level (P = 0.0121, OR = 14.71, 95% CI = 1.59-136.46; and P = 0.0386, OR = 7.29, 95% CI = 1.26-41.69). TNF-α revealed a strong association at genotypic level (P = 0.0121, OR = 14.71, 95% CI = 1.59-136.46), as well as at allelic level (P = 0.0433, OR = 2.251, 95% CI = 1.09-4.66), demonstrating that it may be considered one of the genetic risk factors affecting the steroid response in INS patients. The GG genotype of IL-6 -G174C, TT genotype of IL-4 -C590T, and AA genotype of TNF-α -G308A cytokine gene polymorphisms may be causative factors f...
