Abstract

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism is characterized by a deficiency of the parathyroid hormone, origin unknown, and causes a low serum calcium and a high serum inorganic phosphorus. This report concerns a clinical observation of a case of idiopathic hypoparathyroidism. This case was examined from the dental point of view. The findings were as follows: 1. The roentgenographic findings revealed that there was no demonstrable abnormality concerning bone age indicated between the ages of 5 and 6 years. 2. Severe dental caries were noted in the deciduous teeth and the permanent teeth. 3. Hypoplasia and hypocalcemia were recognized in most of the permanent teeth. 4. Large pulp chambers were observed in the deciduous teeth and the permanent teeth, and thickening of the lamina dura was observed in the permanent teeth. 5. The histological findings of the extracted deciduous teeth and the upper right first molar were such that: (1) there was hypoplasia and hypocalcemia in the dentin of deciduous teeth, and there were multiple resorptions in the cementum. (2) there was hypoplasia in the enamel of the upper right first molar. 6. Electron probe microanalysis of the upper left second molar revealed that the degree of mineralization and concentrat...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
