Omsk hemorrhagic fever is caused by Omsk hemorrhagic fever virus (OHFV), a member of the Flavivirus family. The current species name is Orthoflavivirus omskense [4] according to International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses taxonomy standards. The virus was discovered by Mikhail Chumakov and his colleagues between 1945 and 1947 in Omsk, Russia.
Another alternative to oligoclonal bands for MS diagnosis is the MRZ-reaction (MRZR), a polyspecific antiviral immune response against the viruses of measles, rubella and zoster found in 1992. [ 22 ] In some reports the MRZR showed a lower sensitivity than OCB (70% vs. 100%), but a higher specificity (92% vs. 69%) for MS. [ 22 ]
In medicine, a case report is a detailed report of the symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of an individual patient. Case reports may contain a demographic profile of the patient, but usually describe an unusual or novel occurrence. Some case reports also contain a literature review of other reported cases.
G-banding, G banding or Giemsa banding is a technique used in cytogenetics to produce a visible karyotype by staining condensed chromosomes. It is the most common chromosome banding method. [ 1 ] It is useful for identifying genetic diseases (mainly chromosomal abnormalities ) through the photographic representation of the entire chromosome ...
Multiple sclerosis diagnosis can only be made when there is proof of lesions disseminated in time and in space. Therefore, when damage in the CNS is big enough to be seen. It would be desirable to make it faster. The ideal diagnosis schema would be able to determine for any given subject, if he will develop MS, at any point in his life, and when.
A small spike would be present in the gamma (γ) band in MGUS Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance ( MGUS ) is a plasma cell dyscrasia in which plasma cells or other types of antibody-producing cells secrete a myeloma protein , i.e. an abnormal antibody , into the blood ; this abnormal protein is usually found during standard ...
The diagnosis of MBL in these patients depends on finding 0.5-5x10 9 monoclonal B cells that express the makers characteristic of CLL/SLL MLB, atypical CLL/SLL MLB, non-CLL/SLL MLB, or MLB-MZ. [3] However, individuals with CBL-MZ commonly present with B-cell blood counts that are extremely high (>4.0x10 9 ; range 3.0x10 9 /L to 37.1x10 9 /L ...
Clinical features depend on the molecular pathology of the particular CDG subtype. Common manifestations include ataxia; seizures; retinopathy; liver disease; coagulopathies; failure to thrive (FTT); dysmorphic features (e.g., inverted nipples and subcutaneous fat pads); pericardial effusion, skeletal abnormalities, and hypotonia.
