Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common in persons with progressive multiple sclerosis (pwPMS), who may consequently limit their fluid intake. We aimed to investigate the hypothesis that LUTS associate objective evidence of inadequate hydration status pwPMS.
Myotonic Dystrophies (DM, Dystrophia Myotonia) are autosomal dominant inherited myopathies with a high prevalence across different ethnic regions. Despite some differences, mainly due to the pattern of muscle involvement and age onset, both forms, DM1 DM2, share many clinical genetic similarities. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed medical record files 561 Greek patients, 434 127 DM2 diagnosed in two large academic centers between 1994-2020. The mean at onset symptoms was 26.2 ± 15.3...
Recent evidence suggests that systemic conditions, particularly those associated with inflammation, can affect erythrocyte deformability in the absence of haematological conditions. In this exploratory study, we investigated relationship between inflammatory status and (using osmotic gradient ektacytometry) a heterogenous study population consisting individuals no medical concerns, chronic acute illness, providing wide range inflammation severity. 22 participants were included prospective...
Background: The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) pathway acts as a negative immune regulator of T-cell activation and promotes self-tolerance. Case: We report the first case biopsy-proven central nervous system inflammatory demyelination in context primary immunodeficiency novel CTLA-4 variant. Conclusion: This has significant implications for development treatments autoimmune conditions including multiple sclerosis further emphasises need caution with clinical use checkpoint...
