One strategy for treatment of girls with CDD is thus to re-activate the silent, inactivated CDKL5 gene on the inactivated X chromosome. This approach is currently in pre-clinical development. Studies of molecular pathway abnormalities in CDD rodent models may suggest additional possible therapies, such as protein substitution. [ 43 ]
CDKL5 deficiency disorder had, earlier, been thought of as a variant of Rett syndrome, due to some similarities in the clinical presentation. [8] CDKL5 deficiency syndrome is now known to be an independent clinical entity caused by mutations in a distinct X-linked gene, and is considered separate from Rett Syndrome, rather than a variant of it.

A possible cancer treatment could consist in targeting Cdk5 and avoiding its binding to its activators and substrates. In recent studies, [ 37 ] about radiation therapy in patients with large cell lung cancer, it has been found that CDK5 depletion diminishes lung cancer development and radiation resistance in vitro and in vivo.
The WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (aka Essential Medicines List or EML [1]), published by the World Health Organization (WHO), contains the medications considered to be most effective and safe to meet the most important needs in a health system. [2]
Plates vi & vii of the Edwin Smith Papyrus (around the 17th century BC), among the earliest medical guidelines. A medical guideline (also called a clinical guideline, standard treatment guideline, or clinical practice guideline) is a document with the aim of guiding decisions and criteria regarding diagnosis, management, and treatment in specific areas of healthcare.
Osteosclerosis is a disorder characterized by abnormal hardening of bone and an elevation in bone density. It may predominantly affect the medullary portion and/or cortex of bone.
The Mayo Clinic Cancer Center is one of the oldest NCI-designated cancer centers in the United States, having first been designated in 1973. [3] The main location of the Mayo Clinic is in Rochester, MN. Campuses in Arizona and Florida opened later and became part of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center in 2003. [4] [5]
Multiple national cancer treatment guidelines recommend early palliative care for people with advanced multiple myeloma at the time of diagnosis and for anyone who has significant symptoms. [142] [143] Palliative care is appropriate at any stage of multiple myeloma and can be provided alongside curative treatment.
