Masitinib is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor, targeting innate immune cells (mast and microglia) that are involved in the pathophysiology of progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Study AB07002 assessed oral masitinib patients with MS who were progressing but not clinically active.
This is a case of 69-year-old male patient with long-standing iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy. The clinical evaluation revealed mild neurological symptoms and excessive brain calcinosis. Intracranial calcification that affects structures other than the basal ganglia cerebellum rare manifestation postoperative hypoparathyroidism. Detection calcinosis in patients who had thyroidectomy can motivate clinicians further investigation possible measurement calcium phosphorus...
Myasthenia gravis is present in a significant proportion of patients with thymoma. We investigated particular features the clinical behavior thymoma and its relationship to myasthenia retrospective study 79 who underwent thymectomy for during last 20 years. The presence gravis, Masaoka stage, World Health Organization histotype, response, survival were analyzed. mean age was 56.1 ±12.4 years, 39 had gravis. A significantly higher found B2 B3 histotypes compared A, AB, B1. Among myasthenic...
Mechanisms of ischemic stroke in young adults are poorly understood. The aim the study was to investigate and compare frequency common variations prothrombotic genes between patients with controls. Fifty-one cases first-ever 70 community-based controls aged below 50 years were studied. In both groups, insertion/deletion 4G/5G variation (-675 PAI-1) as well single-nucleotide polymorphism-844 G/A PAI-1 (-844 gene promoter, factor V Leiden (FVL) G1691Α, prothrombin variant (allele 20210A,...
The aim of this study was to evaluate safety and clinically defined efficacy the implantation a new stent coated with diamond-like carbon (DLC stent), in group patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary revascularization procedures two hemodynamic centers. This an observational prospective nonrandomized that included 196 total 236 significant de novo atheromatous lesions, which 245 DLC stents were implanted. primary end point composite major cardiovascular events (death or...
Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia is a clinical entity associated rarely with obstructive hydrocephalus. We present 48-year old male profound dilatation of the ventricular system due to dolichoectatic basilar artery, as appeared in imaging studies. The patient suffered from longstanding hydrocephalus and presenile dementia. underlying mechanism for vertebrobasilar considered be both water-hammer effect direct compression adjacent structures. suggest prompt surgical intervention upon diagnosis...
Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) remains the only approved systemic reperfusion treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), however there are scarce data regarding outcomes and complications of IVT in Greece. We evaluated safety efficacy AIS Greece using Safe Implementation Thrombolysis Stroke: International Stroke Register (SITS-ISTR) dataset.All patients treated with between December 2002 July 2017 recorded SITS-ISTR were evaluated. Demographics, risk factors, baseline severity [defined...
Coronary stenting has begun to play an increasingly important role in the management of coronary artery aneurysms. A case successful and complete sealing a aneurysm by using new stent graft is described. Further studies large patient population are required confirm safety efficacy this method. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 48:96-99, 1999.
We report a case of young woman, with history miscarriage and molar pregnancy, who developed headache status epilepticus in postpartum day three. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) can present identical clinical picture; however, the imaging findings help clinician to make correct diagnosis initiate appropriate treatment. Both PRES CVST are medical emergencies fully entities especially when treatment initiation is immediate.
Aneurysms of the mitral-aortic interventricular fibrosa (MAIF) are exceptionally rare complications, commonly following aortic valve endocarditis. This report describes angiographic findings such an aneurysm, in a patient who developed uncommon symptomatology unstable angina pectoris, caused by aneurysm's expansion against coronary arteries. Surgical treatment is also discussed.
