In recent years, transcription factors of the Microphthalmia-TFE (MiT) family, including TFEB and TFE3 in mammals and HLH-30 in Caenorhabditis elegans, have emerged as important regulators of innate immunity and inflammation in invertebrates and vertebrates.Despite great strides in knowledge, the mechanisms that mediate downstream actions of MiT tr
White Opaque Substance, a New Optical Marker on Magnifying Endoscopy: Usefulness in Diagnosing Colorectal Epithelial Neoplasms
Background/Aims A white substance that is opaque to endoscopic light is sometimes observed in the epithelium during narrowband imaging with magnifying endoscopy of gastric or colorectal epithelial neoplasms.This prospective observational study aimed to determine whether the morphology of the white opaque substance (WOS) allows differential diagnosi
PETROPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION BY 3D MODEL OF ZONES 4 AND 3 OF THE TURONIAN RESERVOIR OF THE KINKASI FIELD IN THE D.R. CONGO COASTAL BASIN
Kinkasi is one of the oil fields of the DR Congo Coastal Basin.It is essentially formed of two main geological units (A and B) in the Turonian, each composed of a succession of different horizons (Zones) according to the type of siltstone.These two main units contain 6 Zones.Unit A consists of Z6 and Z5 of Coniacian age, while the rest of the reser
Ischemic Priapism Progressing to Penile Gangrene in a Patient with COVID-19 Infection: A Case Report with Literature Review
Priapism is considered Faraday Bag a rare disorder and even more rare when it occurs as a complication of COVID-19.To the best of our knowledge, only eight studies have reported priapism as a complication of COVID-19.Here, we report the case of a 66-year-old male with COVID-19 who presented with neglected priapism for three days.On local examinatio
