Prevalence of diseases

Leptospirosis is zoonosis, presenting as a febrile illness with protean manifestations. Since disease is amenable to antibiotic therapy, early diagnosis helps in better management and prevention of complications. In many parts of our country, prevalence is either underestimated or unestimated. Hence this study was conducted with the objective of determining the seroprevalence of leptospirosis among clinically suspected cases, describe the various sociodemographic parameters, occupation and risk factors among seropositive cases.

Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) is a homotetrameric flavoprotein which catalyses the initial step of theb-oxidationofmedium-chain fattyacids.Mutations in MCAD may cause disease in humans. A Y42H mutation is frequently found in babies identified by newborn screening with MS/MS, yet there are no reports of patients presenting clinically with this mutation. As a basis for judging its potential consequences we have examined the protein phe-notype of the Y42H mutation and the common disease-associatedK304E mutation. ...

Hepatitis C virus is a human pathogen responsible for liver diseases includ-ing acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Its high prevalence, the absence of a prophylactic vaccine and the poor effi-ciency of current therapies are huge medical problems. Since the discovery of the hepatitis C virus, our knowledge of its biology has been largely punctuated by the development of original models of research.

Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) (PARK8) are associ-ated with both familial and sporadic forms of Parkinson’s disease. Most studies have shown that LRRK2 mutations may explain between 5% and 13% of familial and 1–5% of sporadic Parkinson’s disease. Importantly, a common recurrent mutation (G2019S) located in the kinase domain has been reported across most ethnic populations, with the highest prevalence among Ashkenazi Jews and North African Arabs.

A higher prevalence ofCampylobacter concisusand higher levels of IgG antibodies specific toC. concisusin Crohn’s disease patients than in con-trols were recently detected. In this study, 1D and 2D gel electrophoresis coupled with LTQ FT-MS and QStar tandem MS, respectively, were per-formed to characterize the secretome of a C.
