Clinical Spectrum of Patients with Pathogenic Variant of STAT3 conferring Gain-of-Function: A Mimic of Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome
Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by defective fas-mediated apoptosis. Patients often present in childhood with lymphoproliferation, splenomegaly and multilineage cytopenias (Price et al. Natural history of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome associated with FAS gene mutations. Blood 2014). Though mutations in the FAS gene account for the majority of cases, an estimated 20% of patients who have no defined genetic cause are classified as ALPS-U (Shah et al. Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome: an update and review of the literature. Current allergy and asthma reports 20...

Exercise-induced symptoms predict persistence of wheeze into adolescence in a clinical population
It is unclear if a detailed clinical investigation including bronchial provocation tests (BPT) helps to predict long-term outcome of schoolchildren investigated for asthma.We determined which symptoms and clinical tests predict long-term prognosis in children seen in paediatric outpatient clinics for possible asthma.We studied a random sample of children aged 6-16 years, referred to 2 Swiss pulmonary outpatient clinics with a history of wheeze, dyspnoea, or cough in 2007. The initial assessment included lung function testing, BPT by exercise, methacholine and mannitol, and skin-prick tests (1). Respiratory symptoms were as...

Challenges and Benefits of Repurposing Licensed/Approved/Cleared Products for a Radiation Indication.
Abstract
Increasingly, the risk of a radiological or nuclear public health emergency is a major concern for the U.S. government. To address a potential incident and ensure that the U.S. Government is prepared to respond to any civilian or military casualties that could result, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), together with the Department of Defense, has been charged with the development of medical countermeasures (MCMs) to treat individuals experiencing acute and delayed injuries that can result from exposure to radiation. With limited research and development budgets, and the high costs ass...

The Global Face of Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Advocacy and Research Groups
AbstractAlthough eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has been described in the literature for a substantial period, its recognition as a disease entity on the global stage is still relatively new. It has become a major diagnosis of consideration by medical providers when both adult and pediatric patients present with dysphagia, food impaction, and gastroesophageal reflux-like symptoms. In addition to the clinical work of specialists such as allergy-immunologists and gastroenterologists, the evolution of research organizations and advocacy groups focused on EoE have greatly assisted in bringing attention to, and raising awarenes...

What Causes School Failure?
Discussion
“Literacy is traditionally meant as the ability to read and write. The modern term’s meaning has been expanded to include the ability to use language, numbers, images, computers, and other basic means to understand, communicate, gain useful knowledge, solve mathematical problems and use the dominant symbol systems of a culture.”
The earliest written communication was in 3500-3000 BCE, with the earliest alphabet being from 1200-750 BCE. Although the percentage of the world’s adult literacy rate is increasing each decade by ~5%, “…from 55.7 per cent in 1950 to 86.2 per cent in ...
