Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare but serious disorder. Most cases are linked to thrombophilias, pregnancy, infection and malignancy. It has a remarkably varied clinical presentation and is challenging to diagnose. It can be complicated by haemorrhage which makes the treatment decisions more challenging and difficult. Excellent functional recovery is likely with early recognition and treatment of the underlying aetiology.

Individuals who learn financial literacy are informed about their current financial crisis, current budget, past financial issues, and will provide budget tips, coping skills, and informative information becoming self-sufficient by becoming aware of financial status and financial needs.

The MHC is a set of genes that codes for cell surface proteins essential for the acquired immune system to recognize foreign molecules in vertebrates and MHC II gene was described in Echinodermata for the first time. For the present time, MHC Class I gene was not found in a significant manner so for concluding the existence of MHC I gene in Echinodermata, further studies will be necessarily done.

Aim: Prevention of post molar choriocarcinoma. Methods: 70 mg Methotrexate (MTX) was administered all post molar cases, whose urinary pregnancy test was negative, while 200-300 mg MTX was administered to two persistent trophoblastic disease, whose pregnancy test was positive by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Control was 37 post molar cases, who received no MTX. Post molar examination were repeated in both groups. Results: No choriocarcinoma developed in 107 MTX group, while 3 cases developed choriocarcinoma in 37 nonMTX group. Choriocarcinoma case number was significantly less in MTX groups.

We have used vibrational optical coherence tomography (VOCT) to image and measure the mechanical properties of normal skin and skin lesions. It is observed that in a congenital nevus and normal skin, the cellular epidermis is qualitatively not as bright as in skin lesions including basal cell carcinoma, actinic keratosis and a melanocytic nevus. Melanin and cytochrome c oxidase are reported to attenuate the reflection of near-infrared light at a wavelength of 810 nm and therefore may explain the reduced reflection of light in a congenital nevus and normal skin under conditions where cytochrome c oxidase levels would be expected to be high. Our results suggest that the melanin and cytochrome c oxidase levels found in congenital nevus and skin lesions may influence the observed pixel density observed in OCT images. For this reason, a correction for the content of these components in the skin must be considered before quantitative pixel measurements can be correctly interpreted. Additional measurements of pixel density along with the moduli of cellular and collagenous components in skin and skin lesions are needed to further interpret the significance of “virtual biopsies” made using VOCT.

Childhood and adolescence are times of adjusting to change and increasing demands in one’s life. As such, it is perhaps not surprising that in the United States alone, approximately 13% to 20% of children experience a mental disorder each year, or that 20% of adolescents experience a diagnosable mental health disorder.
