The superior mesenteric artery syndrome is an uncommon entity included in the spectrum of vascular syndromes. The low presentation, variety of unspecific symptoms, and shortage of bibliography presents a challenging diagnosis for both clinicians and radiologists. Our aim is to present a 63 years-old male patient with pancreatitis history and repeated symptoms. 

Malan syndrome (Sotos Syndrome 2, OMIM 614753) is a rare autosomal dominant overgrowth disorder caused by either chromosome 19p13.2/19p13.13 microdeletion or Nuclear Factor 1 X-Type (NFIX) gene haploinsufficiency. Symptoms typically appear in infancy and include dysmorphic features, seizures, and behavioral issues; however, the degree of immune system involvement is not clear. Herein, we are reporting a case of Malan syndrome who presented to the immunology clinic with recurrent bacterial infections, including three episodes of pneumonia confirmed by chest X-ray.

We investigated the function and in vivo role of dopamine receptors (BmDopRs) in the silkworm Bombyx mori. During our studies, we discovered that BmDopRs play a crucial role in regulating feeding behavior in silkworm larvae. Here, we review recent findings [1] on the importance of dopamine (DA) and its receptors, particularly the BmDopR3 subtype, in regulating feeding behavior in Bombyx mori.

The origin of Raga-the nucleus of Indian classical music (ICM)-dates back to the Vedic era with its identifiable roots in the Sama Veda [1,2]. The prototype monotonic Rig Veda recitation was originally developed to include only three notes i.e. a principal note, a higher note (Udatta), and a lower note (Anudatta) which was modified in the Yajur Veda to include a tetra chord with two principal notes and two accents.
