Prenatal diagnosis of concurrent facial and cerebral vascular malformation which caused congestive heart failure

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rarely reported antenatally.Most in utero diagnosis of vascular malformation is related to vein of Galen malformation (VGM).We describe a case of simultaneously diagnosed pial arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and facial vascular malformation in a 20 weeks old fetus.The dilated intracranial venous Breezy Floral pouc

Genome sequence of the entomopathogenic Serratia entomophila isolate 626 and characterisation of the species specific itaconate degradation pathway

Abstract Background Isolates of Serratia entomophila and S.proteamaculans (Yersiniaceae) cause disease specific to the endemic New Zealand pasture pest, Costelytra giveni (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae).Previous genomic profiling has shown that S.entomophila isolates appear to have conserved genomes and, where present, conserved plasmids.In the absence

The role of affective temperaments and chronotype in pharmacotherapy response in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder

BACKGROUND: Comorbid mood disorders affect the prognosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) negatively.Affective temperaments are assumed to be subsyndromal symptoms and precursors of mood disorders, but its effects on OCD outcome still remain unclear.There is a body of evidence, which supports the association between circadian rhythm disturban
