ASSESSING RISK FACTORS FOR COMPLICATIONS IN COMPUTER TOMOGRAPHY-GUIDED LUNG BIOPSY: QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS FOR PREDICTING PNEUMOTHORAX

Assessing risk factors for complications in computer tomography-guided lung biopsy: quantitative analysis for predicting pneumothorax

BACKGROUND: Computer tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsy carries the risk of pneumothorax.A variety of other risk factors affect the occurrence of pneumothorax.OBJECTIVE: Assess the incidence and risk factors associated with pneumothorax complications in CT-guided lung biopsy, and to conduct a quantitative analysis of the variables among the signifi

Measures of gluten-related reactivity in children with autism spectrum disorders in the absence of overt gastrointestinal symptoms: a pilot study from the United Arab Emirates

Objectives The aetiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is multifactorial, sometimes genetic, and may be associated with abnormal immunological Diosmin responses to peptides from proteins such as gluten.These peptides may cross the blood-brain barrier and affect neurotransmission, resulting in behavioural symptoms consistent with ASD.The aim of
