Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic tick-born disease transmitted by a lethal virus with a high case mortality rate and widespread geographic distribution. Human cases of CCHF infection were reported in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Southern and Eastern Europe, however, the disease is endemic in Iraq since 1979. Therefore, the present study was designed to evaluate the sero-epidemiological status of CCHF virus infection in small ruminants after a recent human outbreak in Basra Governorate, southern Iraq in 2023. Small ruminants (sheep and goats) were used as an experiment

Granulicatella spp. are non-motile, non-sporulating, facultatively anaerobic Gram-positive cocci. Throughout the literature, these organisms have been referred to by several names, such as “nutritionally deficient streptococci”, “vitamin-B dependent streptococci” and “pyridoxal-dependent streptococci”, because of their fastidious nutritional requirements, which can often make culture isolation challenging. Known to be a member of the normal microbiota of the human oral cavity and urogenital and intestinal tracts, similar to other streptococci, Granulicate

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder primarily transmitted in an autosomal-dominant manner. We distinguish two main forms of FH, which differ in the severity of the disease, namely homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). The characteristic feature of this disease is a high concentration of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood. However, the level may significantly vary between the two mentioned types of FH, and it is decidedly higher in HoFH. A chronically elevated concentration of LDL-C in

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP) is a neuromuscular disorder associated with muscular dysfunction caused by hypokalemia. There are various causes of HPPs and rarely, HPP appears to be relevant to tenofovir or glucocorticoid treatment. There have been several case reports of tenofovir-related nephrotoxicity or tenofovir-induced HPP. However, a case report of glucocorticoid-induced HPP in a patient using tenofovir temporarily has not been reported. Herein, we report a case of glucocorticoid-induced HPP with short-term use of tenofovir. A 28-year-old man visited the emergency room with dec

Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to explore the effect of psoriasis on lipid metabolism traits and myocardial infarction (MI) risk and to analyze the proportion of the mediatory effect of lipid metabolism traits. Publicly accessible summary-level data for psoriasis, lipid metabolism traits, and MI were provided by the genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of the FinnGen Biobank, UK Biobank, and CARDIoGRAMplusC4D, respectively. A two-sample MR was carried out to evaluate the association of psoriasis with lipid metabolism traits and MI. Furthermore, the current research f
