Abstract

In 1979, slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) was rarely reported in Korea, although it is the most common hip disorder of adolescence in Western nations. However, because the number of reported cases of SCFE in Korea has increased a great deal since then, we performed a nationwide survey to ascertain its epidemiology and demographics in Korea. We reviewed the discharge databases for the period between January 1989 and December 2003 from 19 university hospitals across Korea. Recorded data included age at onset, sex, past medical history, height, weight, and type of slippage. We compared those data with national census data. The incidence data are reported as cases per 100,000 children between the ages of 10 and 14 years. Data for 231 patients (175 boys and 56 girls) were included in our survey. The average age at onset was 12 years 10 months in boys and 12 years in girls. The average annual incidence was estimated to be at least 0.499 for boys and 0.142 for girls for every 100,000 children between the ages of 10 and 14 years, which was lower than that of Western nations and Japan. The incidence showed a pattern of increments across each period. The mean body mass index was significantly higher in Korean patients with SCFE t...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.
