BackgroundUsutu virus (USUV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus, which shares its transmission cycle with the phylogenetically related West Nile (WNV). USUV circulates in several European countries and activity has increased over last 5 years.AimTo describe human cases of infection identified by surveillance for WNV Veneto Region northern Italy 2018.MethodsFrom 1 June to 30 November 2018, all suspected autochthonous arbovirus blood donors who had reactive nucleic acid test were investigated both...
Autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD type 2) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders, characterized by progressive involvement wasting muscles. In order to describe the peculiar clinical features LGMD2A (calpainopathy) LGMD2B (dysferlinopathy), most frequent forms LGMD in European countries, we analysed compared phenotype course two relatively large groups these patients.We selected 22 patients with molecular diagnosis 21 reported their data...
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2A (LGMD2A) is characterised by wide variability in clinical features and rate of progression. Patients with two null mutations usually have a rapid course, but the remaining cases (two missense or compound heterozygote mutations) prognosis uncertain.We conducted what to our knowledge first systematic histopathological, biochemical molecular investigation 24 LGMD2A patients, subdivided according slow disease progression, determine if some parameters could...
Background and purpose Acute onset of amnestic syndrome may represent a challenging diagnostic issue. In addition to non‐vascular etiology, thalamic strokes or infarction involving several temporal lobe structures have been reported. Methods We describe three patients in whom an isolated bilateral anterior fornix presented with acute syndrome. Clinical presentation, differential diagnosis magnetic resonance images are discussed for each patient vascular anatomy the involved brain regions is...
<i>Background:</i> Idiopathic spinal cord herniation (SCH) is a rare and often misdiagnosed condition characterized by displacement of the through an anterior defect dural sac. This determines continuous focal trauma cord, causing slowly progressive myelopathy. The peculiar MR scan findings, particularly sagittal T<sub>2</sub>-weighted images, allow its recognition. <i>Objective:</i> Herein, we report 3 cases SCH suggest possible association with...
Migraine with aura (MA) is a common disorder affecting about 30% of migrainous patients[1]. MA codified in the ICHD-III classification[2] and typical auras are known easily recognized particular by patients chronically suffering MA. Sometimes even these present to Emergency Department (ED) because their different from usual. The more frequent causes abnormal prolongation, increased frequency recurrence or developing new symptoms, particularly that presented past only visual auras. Generally...
