Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to describe the clinical features and outcomes of patients with myelopathy and neuropathy linked to recreational nitrous oxide use from 2016 to 2023.
- Twelve patients (6 women, average age 27.5) showed symptoms like numbness, weakness, and mental changes, with some using large amounts of nitrous oxide and vitamin B12 supplements.
- At follow-up, 75% of patients managed to achieve functional independence, highlighting the significant health concerns related to nitrous oxide abuse. *
Purpose: Genetic variants causing aberrant premessenger RNA splicing are increasingly being recognized as causal variants in genetic disorders. In this study, we devise standardized practices for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based RNA diagnostics using clinically accessible specimens (blood, fibroblasts, urothelia, biopsy).
Methods: A total of 74 families with diverse monogenic conditions (31% prenatal-congenital onset, 47% early childhood, and 22% teenage-adult onset) were triaged into PCR-based RNA testing, with comparative RNA sequencing for 19 cases.
Ultrasonography is widely practiced in many disciplines. It is becoming increasingly important to design well-structured curricula to introduce imaging to students during medical school. This review aims to analyze the literature for evidence of how ultrasonography has been incorporated into anatomy education in medical school curricula worldwide.

It allows clinicians to assess patients accurately and quickly; however, recent studies have revealed variability among individuals and ethnicities. The aim of this study is to investigate possible variations in adult thoracic and abdominal surface anatomy landmarks in an Iranian population.
