Ocular and oculomotor abnormalities have been observed; however, Horner syndrome (HS) has not been documented in children with JS. We present the case of a 2-month-old boy having ocular abnormalities with bilateral nystagmus, left-dominant bilateral ptosis, and unilateral... |

X-linked recessive myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a severe congenital muscle disorder caused by mutations in the MTM1 gene and characterized by severe hypotonia and generalized muscle weakness in affected males. It is generally a fatal disorder during the neonatal period and early infancy. The diagnosis is based on typical histopathological findings on muscle biopsy, combined with suggestive clinical features. We... |

Cardiopulmonary arrest has long been accepted as an unquestionable definition of death. An advent of cardiopulmonary resuscitation
and artificial ventilation along with the development of organ transplantation has prompted the emergence of the concept
of brain death. The criteria for brain death are based mainly on the clinical examination of coma, apnea and total loss
of brain stem function. Although organ transplantation by... |

Purpose : To investigate the effect of growth hormone(GH) secretion on serum concentration of
leptin, we evaluated the differences in serum concentration of leptin between patients with growth
hormone deficiency(GHD) and GH normal short stature in prepubertal male children, and the
relationship between GH and serum leptin level. Also, we analyzed the correlation between serum
concentrations of leptin and insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I), insulin-like growth... |
