TREX1 DNA exonuclease deficiency, accumulation of single stranded DNA and complex human genetic disorders [PDF]
Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome (AGS) is an unusual condition that clinically mimics a congenital viral infection. Several genes have recently been implicated in the aetiology of this disorder. One of these genes encodes the DNA exonuclease TREX1. Recent work

Investigating pathological features of myocarditis-related sudden cardiac deaths in Egypt
Background Myocarditis is an inflammatory condition of the myocardium. A definitive diagnosis requires histopathological examination. The scarcity of autopsy data has led to this study, which analyzed the histopathological features of myocarditis-related

Abstract Aims Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains elevated, with the potential for CS causes to impact prognosis and risk stratification. The aim was to investigate in‐hospital prognosis and mortality in CS patients according to aetiology. We also assessed the prognostic accuracy of CardShock and IABP‐SHOCK II scores.
