Intractable Rickets as Presenting Feature of Wilson's Disease
Rickets by definition is a condition in which the bone mineralization is defective. Among the large cause of Rickets (Vitamin D deficiency, gastrointestinal disorders, acidosis, renal tubular abnormalities...), Wilson's disease is a relatively rare cause.

Wilson's disease is a rare autosomal recessive disease, caused by impaired secretion of copper into bile due to a defective function of the ATPase 7B enzyme. Clinical manifestation is predominantly hepatic and neurological.

Wilson's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper excess. This illness results from mutations of the ATP7B gene chromosome 13. The discovery of the gene allowed a better understanding of cytosolic copper trafficking its relationship with ceruloplasmin synthesis. Symptomatic patients may present with hepatic, neurologic or psychiatric forms.

Copper binding triggers structural changes that expose a reactive disulphide bridge, enabling intrinsic Cu(II) reduction in folded proteins. SAXS, XAS, and QM/MM simulations reveal how globular proteins such as HSA and SOD1 employ disulphide‐mediated dynamics to modulate site accessibility and control copper redox chemistry.

Adaptive mitochondrial mechanisms allow mitochondrial resilience and prevent the worsening of fibrosis, while deregulation of these mechanisms promotes the progression from no/minimal‐mild (F0‐F2) fibrosis to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis (F3‐F4). Abstract Background and Aims Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection causes oxidative stress (OS) and alters ...

NRPT 1X reduces ALT and ceramide 14:0 in 65% of subjects as compared to only 28% in the placebo group. Abstract Background and Aims The prevalence of NAFLD is increasing globally and on a path to becoming the most frequent cause of chronic liver disease. Strategies for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD are urgently needed.

Introduction: Wilson's disease (WD) is a genetic disease, inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, caused by a mutation in the ATP7B gene, which results in impaired excretion of copper in the bile.

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Wilson’s Disease. Onset and Complex Diagnosis: Clinical Case
Background. The low prevalence of Wilson’s disease, diversity of clinical signs, long latent course, inheritance features make it difficult to diagnose and require multidisciplinary approach from doctors. Clinical case description. This article describes
