Polyneuropathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) has been treated plasma exchange, intravenous immune globulin, and chemotherapy, but the effectiveness these treatments remains uncertain.
Abstract Monoclonal proteins (IgM, IgG, and IgA) in the serum or urine of patients with neuropathy may provide a marker for amyloidosis, myeloma, lymphoma, leukemia, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, monoclonal gammopathy undetermined significance (MGUS). The clinical characteristics, course, electromyographic features among neuropathies associated IgM (IgM‐MGUS, 31 patients), IgG (IgG‐MGUS, 24 IgA (IgA‐MGUS, 10 patients) evaluated between 1980 1986 were compared. Four statistically...
Triphasic waves (TWs) and generalized nonconvulsive status epilepticus (GNCSE) share morphological features that may create diagnostic ambiguity.To describe electroencephalographic differences between TWs GNCSE.We retrospectively compared the electroencephalograms (EEGs) of two groups patients presenting with decreased level consciousness; those associated metabolic encephalopathy GNCSE. We studied following: demographics, etiology EEG features. All EEGs were classified blindly (TWs or...
Thyroid lesions in 16 pet dogs with hypothyroidism were evaluated by light and electron microscopy. Lymphocytic thyroiditis, found seven dogs, was characterized diffuse infiltration of the thyroid gland lymphocytes, plasma cells macrophages formation some lymphoid nodules destruction follicles, progressing to replacement most fibrous connective tissue. The basement membrane around follicles thick had electron-dense deposits. morphology presence circulating thyroglobulin autoantibodies...
Knowledge of the optical properties, in particular complex refractive indices (CRI), aerosols is crucial to better quantify their impact on environment from remote sensing techniques. However, CRI data available literature provide mainly reflectance measurements bulk materials or pressed pellets and span over limited wavelength ranges. Here, we present an improved retrieval methodology combining experimental setup that allows simultaneously measurement high spectral-resolution extinction...
Anisole serves as a pivotal constituent in the model for lignin-derived biofuels. Despite considerable interest these biofuels, their combustion processes have potential to increase formation of aromatic compounds, particularly oxygenated aromatics. These oxygen-containing aromatics, known increased toxicity compared conventional can significantly impact characteristics soot particles and exhaust gas emissions. Recent research efforts delved into aromatics during combustion. However, our...
The incidence of strokes in industrialized nations is on the rise, particularly older population. In Canada, a minority individuals who have had stroke actually receive intensive rehabilitation because most patients do not access to services or their motor recovery was judged adequate return home. Thus, there considerable need organize home-based for everyone has stroke. To meet this demand, telerehabilitation, from service center patient's home, promising alternative approach that can help...
To compare changes on biopsychosocial variables between adults (< 65 years) and older (> or = during after an inpatient rehabilitation program.Comparative study.A total of 165 people 18 years over admitted to unit.The participants were evaluated 3 times: at admission discharge months later. Outcome measures were: Functional Autonomy Measurement System (SMAF), Modified Mini-Mental State Examination, Trail Making Test, Motor-Free Visual Perceptual Analogue Scale (VAS), Berg Balance (BBS),...
Previous studies reported Fabry disease in 0% to 4% of young patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke (IS). We sought determine the prevalence and outcomes among Canadians IS or transient attack (TIA).We prospectively enrolled individuals aged 18 55 speech motor TIA, no cause identified despite predetermined investigation. α-galactosidase-A gene was sequenced for diagnosis. National Institutes Health Stroke Scale score measured at presentation quantify severity. Modified Rankin determined...
The ozonolysis of submicrometer (150 nm) oleic acid (OL) particles in an aerosol flow tube has been studied for a wide range initial ozone concentrations from 25 ppb to 1100 ppb. Both reactants were monitored, as well the four main reaction products (nonanal, azelaic acid, nonanoic and 9-oxononanoic), by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer, high resolution-time flight-aerosol mass proton transfer reaction-time flight-mass analyzer. values uptake coefficients derived each reactant decay are...
Liver tissues from 126 captive cheetah were evaluated by light microscopy and histochemistry; eight animals electron microscopy. The main hepatic lesion, a vascular lesion resembling veno-occlusive disease (VOD) of the liver characterized subendothelial fibrosis proliferation smooth muscle-like cells in central veins, was seen 60% sexually mature cheetah. Although this as young 1 year age, most severe lesions, usually associated with failure, found between ages 6 11. There no sex...
Objective: To understand current genetic testing practices at Canadian ALS clinics. Methods: An online survey and phone interviews, with clinicians practicing in 27 clinics Canada, were employed to collect data. Quantitative qualitative analyses conducted. Results: Ninety-three percent (25/27) of Canada are routinely ordering for familial ALS, while 33% (9/27) sporadic ALS. Barriers include a perceived lack an impact on treatment plan, difficulty obtaining approvals, primarily from...
This article provides observations on the features of sponsor-contract research organization communication that will achieve best quality pathology report based our collective experience. Information test and any anticipated findings should be provided, initial slide examination done with knowledge treatment group (but may followed by blinded review target tissues to determine no-effect levels). Only a pathologist write or revise section overall study report. To address concerns related...
Abstract Veno‐occlusive disease (VOD) of the liver has been diagnosed in a large number captive cheetahs. Some ingredients or contaminants present diet were suspected as possible causes for this noninfectious with high incidence. Eight different diets fed to cheetahs kept North American zoos analyzed vitamin A levels and presence absence plant estrogens, nitro‐saminines, nitrites, aflatoxins. Three eight considered contain toxic amounts A. In humans rats, hypervitaminosis associated hepatic...
Extrahepatic biliary carcinoma was found in each of 5 adult sloth bears that died between 1970 and 1984 while on exhibit Ohio zoos. The tumor characterized by numerous mucin-producing neoplastic glands scattered throughout abundant fibrous stroma. cause the not determined.
