Endophthalmitis is among the most sight-threatening infections in ophthalmology practice. Many microorganisms causing endophthalmitis have been reported. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is among the rare causes of endophthalmitis and has been reported after cataract surgery, intravitreal injections and ocular trauma. We report a case of S. maltophilia endophthalmitis after keratoplasty, which is a rare entity, in a 63-year-old female patient.

BACKGROUND: Alpha-1 antitrypsin (α1-AT) is a protease inhibitor that is largely released from liver cells. It inhibits neutrophil elastase and its deficiency increases the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The frequency of α1-AT deficiency has been reported with different prevalence rates in different parts of the world. The most common α1-AT variant causing α1-AT deficiency is the Pi*Z allele. In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of the α1-AT genotypic variant in COPD patients in our country...

Mutations in IDH genes occur frequently in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other human cancers to generate the oncometabolite R-2HG. Allosteric inhibition of mutant IDH suppresses R-2HG production in a subset of AML patients; however, acquired resistance emerges as a new challenge and the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here we establish isogenic leukemia cells containing common IDH oncogenic mutations by CRISPR base editing. By mutational scanning of IDH single-amino acid variants in base-edited cells, we describe a repertoire of IDH second-site mutations responsible for therapy resistance through disabling uncompetitive enzyme inhibition...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. A crucial process that initiates and progresses CRC is various epigenetic and genetic changes occurring in colon epithelial cells. Recently, huge progress has been made to understand cancer epigenetics, especially regarding DNA methylation changes, histone modifications, dysregulation of miRNAs and noncoding RNAs. In the "epigenome" of colon cancer, abnormal methylation of genes that cause gene alterations or expression of miRNA has been reported in nearly all CRC; these findings can be encountered in the average CRC methylome...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited hemoglobin disorder characterized by the occlusion of small blood vessels by sickle-shaped red blood cells. SCD is associated with a number of complications, including ischemic priapism. While SCD accounts for at least one-third of all priapism cases, no definitive treatment strategy has been established to specifically treat patients with SC priapism. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the efficacy and safety of contemporary treatment modalities for acute and stuttering ischemic priapism associated with SCD...
