PRESENTATIONS OF PATIENTS OF POISONING AND PREDICTORS OF POISONING-RELATED FATALITY: FINDINGS FROM A HOSPITAL-BASED PROSPECTIVE STUDY

Presentations of patients of poisoning and predictors of poisoning-related fatality: Findings from a hospital-based prospective study

Abstract Background Poisoning is a significant public health problem worldwide and is one of the most common reasons for visiting emergency departments (EDs), but factors that help to predict overall poisoning-related fatality have rarely been elucidated.Using 1512 subjects from a hospital-based study, we sought to describe the demographic and clin

Downsloping high-frequency hearing loss due to inner ear tricellular tight junction disruption by a novel ILDR1 mutation in the Ig-like domain.

The immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain containing receptor 1 (ILDR1) gene encodes angulin-2/ILDR1, a recently discovered tight junction protein, which forms tricellular tight junction (tTJ) structures with tricellulin and lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) at tricellular contacts (TCs) in the inner ear.Previously reported recessive mutati
