The level of glucocerebrosidase enzymatic activity in patients with Gaucher is seen to reach around 5–25% of normal activity. Measurement of this level in leukocytes or cutaneous fibroblasts is considered the “Gold Standard” for Gaucher diagnosis. Although Gaucher is the most common lysosomal deposition disease it remains rare and most cases present with a gradual installation of the clinic which explains the delay in diagnosis. It is very important to include Gaucher as a possible diagnosis in cases of splenomegaly and / or thrombocytopenia. The study, \"Predicting the probability of Gaucher disease in subjects with splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia,\" published in Scientific Reports, managed to reconstruct a diagnostic algorithm that managed to identify the relationship between platelet count, ferritin and transferrin saturation, thus making it possible to achieve a possible approach regarding the diagnosis of GD, which for the sake of truth continues to be an undiagnosed / misdiagnosed pathology.","PeriodicalId":72392,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical research and clinical reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49271682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are many hypotheses regarding the origin of the human mind. The complexity of the problem lies in the fact that it is impossible to experimentally test any of the existing hypotheses. Perhaps we will never fully know how the human mind arose, but it is necessary to strive for this. Here we discuss the possible causes of the origin of a large brain in modern man, implying that the mind is ultimately a product of the human brain. We believe that in order for such a large brain to arise, profound and possibly unique changes in the genome and in the human body had to occur, which did not take place in other higher primates. The role of the evolution of the karyotype and heterochromatin part of the genome in the immediate ancestors of Homo s. sapiens, which led to an increase in the level of heat conductivity of their bodies changed the existing mechanisms of thermoregulation and led to the appearance of hairless skin, which, together, led to a sharp increase in the size of the brain, with the ensuing consequences, is discussed. We believe that the increase of the human brain size was not the result of drastically changes of the structural genes. Most likely it was the consequence of more ordinary events, such as evolution of karyotype, constitutive heterochromatin in chromosomes, human body heat conductivity, skin and thermoregulation. An experimental test is proposed to test the hypothesis put forward.","PeriodicalId":72392,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical research and clinical reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46996422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to determine the clinico- biological impact of G6PD deficiency on sickle cell disease in childrenin Kinshasa. Materials and method: This is a case-control analytical study of 103 G6PD-deficient sickle cell patientsand 309 non-G6PD- deficientsickle cell patients. Analysis of G6PD activitywas performed by ELISA, and hemoglobin electrophoresis by capillaris to confirm sickle cell disease.For all children, sociodemographic, clinical and biological variables were analyzed. Results: The mean age of sickle cell deficient and non-deficient patients was 9.82±4.5 years and 9.48±3.8 years respectively. There were slightly more female sickle cell deficient patients (55.2%) while in the non- deficient group, there was a male predominance (51.8%) but no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). All morbid events occurring in sickle cell patients were greater in the G6PD deficiency group (p˂0.05). Evaluated antecedent complications occurringin sickle cell patients wereassociated with G6PD deficiency (p˂0.05),except for stroke.No statistically significant difference was noted in physicalsigns between sicklecell deficient and non-deficient groups(p>0.05). The hemogramshowed no difference between the two groups in steady state and the hemolysis markers evaluated also showed no significant differences in steady state (p>0.05) between the two groups. Conclusion: G6PD deficiency aggravates the acute clinical manifestations and complications of sickle cell disease withoutaffecting the occurrence of stroke. And has no impact on the hematological parameters of sickle cell disease children in stationary phase.","PeriodicalId":72392,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical research and clinical reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44926833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The case is really unique considering that all this happened in an unprecedentedly short (by evolutionary scale) period of time, if the beginning of this process is considered to be its exit outside of East Africa about 30 000 - 50 000 years ago. However, science does not know everything about how all this happened to a species that itself emerged relatively recently (130 000 - 200 000 year ago) and nevertheless managed to do what other species failed to do. One of the important questions that arises when comprehending this phenomenon is reduced to the following: what features of a human him to make such an unprecedented breakthrough in the settlement of the planet? In particular, what biological advantages or prerequisites did the ancestors of modern man possess when they decided to leave Africa? Usually, such advantages include its large neocortex with a high-functioning mind, high physiological plasticity, perfect system of physiological thermoregulation, the structural features of the upper limbs, unique sexual and reproductive behavior, etc., etc. Without disputing the importance of these well-studied advantages, we would like to add to this list two more that could play an important role in the settlement of all climatogeographic zones of Africa and Eurasia by man: variability of the skin color and the level of heat conductivity of his body. We believe that the skin color and the heat-conducting ability of the human body are involved in his adaptation to heat and cold climates through thermoregulation systems. After all, the skin is the largest human organ that is in direct contact with the ambient temperature.","PeriodicalId":72392,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical research and clinical reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42856334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Few cases have been reported during the 1960s, and in 1967, Craven et al attributed the development of congenital chylous ascites to obstruction of the cisterna chyli and chylous reflux into the peritoneal space and small intestine and they demonstrated lymphangiographically. Patients and methods: The use of a unique dietary therapy for the treatment of congenital chylous ascites is briefly described and the relevant literature is described. Results:An infant with congenital chylous ascites was seen at about the age of two and half months. He was initially treated with intravenous somatostatin infusion, and thereafter by repeated paracentesis, and continued to receive breast and bottle milk feedings. However, when he was first seen, ultrasound was still showing moderate ascites. The boy was successfully treated a combination of a unique form of very low-fat diet and octreotide acetate subcutaneous injections. Treatment was not associated with a negative effect on growth or development, and no evidence of nutritional deficiency was observed. Conclusion: The case number 112 of congenital chylous ascites is reported and its unique therapeutic approach is described.","PeriodicalId":72392,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical research and clinical reviews","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47629194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
