Enhanced Sensitivity of a Modified Quaking‐Induced Conversion Diagnostic Test for the Broad Detection of Sporadic and Inherited Prion Diseases: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Quaking‐induced conversion (QuIC) tests, which detect prion‐seeding activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), have markedly advanced the antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). These tests provide high diagnostic accuracy and enable timely differentiation from other rapidly progressive neurodegenerative ...

Protein‐Driven Copper Redox Regulation: Uncovering the Role of Disulphide Bonds and Allosteric Modulation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
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.

Wilson Disease Presenting as Isolated Dysarthria in a Paediatric Patient: A Rare Case Report

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene. It involves the liver, brain, eyes, blood, kidneys, and endocrine glands. The usual manifestations are hepatic (approximately 40%), neurological (approximately 35%),

Wilson's disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1997
In Kinnier Wilson’s textbook,1 he writes about the disease that bears his name: “My monograph of 1912 described a disease unknown to the medical profession at that time”. While summarising the essential features he emphasises the familial but not congenital nature of the illness, which lasted a few months in acute cases, many years in chronic cases ...

Fatty liver disease is not associated with increased mortality in the elderly: A prospective cohort study

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Graphical abstract summarizing the study design, main results and key findings Abstract Background and Aims Fatty liver disease (FLD) has been associated with excess mortality. Screening for hepatic steatosis (HS) in patients with metabolic dysfunction is therefore recommended by several guidelines, despite a paucity of evidence on the clinical ...

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
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.

Postpartum Diagnosed Wilson’s Disease

open access: yesMedicine Science, 2016
Wilson’s disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder in which defective biliary excretion of copper leads to its accumulation, especially in liver, brain and cornea. Clinical manifestations can vary widely.

Rethinking brachycephaly: Anatomical implications and health considerations in lagomorphs

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brachycephaly in domestic rabbits is increasingly perceived by welfare organizations as associated with significant health complications, particularly oral pathologies. Despite this perception, comparative anatomical research into rabbit brachycephaly is limited compared to that of dogs and cats, compelling an in‐depth examination of its ...
