CLINICALLY AMYOPATHIC DERMATOMYOSITIS PRESENTING WITH ISOLATED FACIAL EDEMA COMPLICATED BY ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE: A CASE REPORT

Clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis presenting with isolated facial edema complicated by acute respiratory failure: a case report

Abstract Background In clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis, the hallmark cutaneous manifestations are the key to diagnosis.We report a case of clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis which presented with facial edema as the sole cutaneous manifestation and was later complicated by acute respiratory failure leading to death.Case presentation A 58-ye

Isoform expression in the multiple soluble malate dehydrogenase of Hoplias malabaricus (Erythrinidae, Characiformes)

Kinetic properties and Beanie thermal stabilities of Hoplias malabaricus liver and skeletal muscle unfractionated malate dehydrogenase (MDH, EC 1.1.1.37) and its isolated isoforms were analyzed to further study the possible sMDH-A* locus duplication evolved from a recent tandem duplication.Both A (A1 and A2) and B isoforms had similar optima pH (7.
