Presentation
This book presents recent and important findings on stem cell research which is finding many applications including nervous system diseases, diabetes, heart disease, auto-immune diseases as well as Parkinson's disease, end-stage kidney disease, liver [books.google.com]
Clinical presentation and diagnosis The presentation is frequently without a clear precipitating factor. The diagnosis of this condition may be performed in the majority cases only after the injury happened. [medichub.ro]
No thymic shadow was present on chest x ray. Biochemical investigations showed low serum calcium (1.34 mmol/l) and parathyroid hormone (7 ng/l) concentrations with a normal magnesium concentration (1.06 mmol/l). [adc.bmj.com]
The findings in the present study showed that most transfusions in our unit involved the use of whole blood, partially packed cells, and plasma, as we presently lack facilities to administer concentrates of leucocytes or platelets. [njcponline.com]
However, we would like to draw the attention of the authors and readers to the following: The authors did not mention the mechanism of injury and the time elapsed from injury to presentation. [jstcr.org]

Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
Etiology SCID-X1 results from a defect in the IL2RG gene encoding the common gamma chain. Genetic counseling Transmission is X-linked. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
