Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) can be associated with significant morbidity, in part because of nonreversible fibrosis, which impacts physical functioning (eye, skin, lung manifestations) and mortality (lung, gastrointestinal manifestations). Progress preventing severe morbidity chronic GVHD is limited by a complex incompletely understood biology lack prognostic biomarkers. Likewise, treatment advances for highly morbid manifestations remain hindered the absence effective...
Neurotrophic effects of the growth hormone (GH), insulin‐like factor‐1 (IGF‐1) and insulin on central nervous system have become more apparent in past decade. In this study, we measured serum cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations GH, IGF‐1 35 patients with motor neuron disease (MND) [24 definite amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) 11 progressive bulbar palsy] 40 healthy controls. Levels GH did not significantly differ between MND patient group controls, while level was decreased ( P =...
AimTo determine the frequency and characteristics of cutaneous manifestations, especially vitiligo alopecia areata, in patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGVHD).Methods50 cGVHD were prospectively enrolled observational study protocol evaluated by an experienced dermatologist. The evaluation was focused on clinical spectrum skin adnexal involvement, GVHD score determined according to National Institutes Health (NIH) Consensus criteria. presence vitiligo, alopecia, xerosis, nail...
To refresh clinical diagnostic dilemmas in patients presenting with symptoms resembling to those of parkinsonism, report rare association colon cancer and paraneoplastic stiff person syndrome (SPS), draw attention on the possible correlation capecitabine therapy worsening SPS. Case patient SPS due that was misdiagnosed as idiopathic Parkinson's disease (iPD), whose worsened after beginning adjuvant chemotherapy. We describe a 55-year-old woman subacute onset symmetrical stiffness rigidity...
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) represent a leading public-health problem given the rising age of population. Early diagnosis dementia, especially at stage mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has become an important goal modern patient work-up. Brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) mainstay diagnostic algorithms in patients with showing specific patterns hypoperfusion temporal parietal lobes. Clinical electroencephalography (EEG) is...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines have been reported as possible triggers of the production antibodies pathogenic to peripheral nerve and neuromuscular junction. We report on a patient who experienced vertical diplopia three weeks after booster dose Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine (Comirnaty®). The diagnosis myasthenia gravis (MG) was established based highly positive nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Treatment with pyridostigmine prednisone started gradually raising doses. On...
Risdiplam is an orally administered treatment for spinal muscular atrophy which leads to improvement in motor function as measured by functional scales compared with placebo. Although risdiplam has been registered since 2020, real-world data adults still scarce. There have no new safety signals so far, some results pointing that may be effectiveObjective:The objective was present of 31 adult patients type 2 and 3 treated the Republic CroatiaMethods:Treatment effects were assessed tests...
Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a common cause of disability. Despite recent advances in pathophysiological understanding and treatments, application this knowledge to clinical practice variable limited.
Objective and Background .—Serotonergic mechanisms play an important role in the pathogenesis of headache. To search for potential indicators altered serotonin homeostasis migraine, we have investigated three parameters platelet (5HT) system, level (PSL), uptake (PSU), monoamine oxidase (MAO‐B) activity, a group 55 patients with migraine 81 healthy controls. Methods .—After separation, PSL was determined fluorimetrically; PSU measured by incubating aliquots platelet‐rich plasma six...
This report describes a case of neurosyphilis presenting with memory disturbances, attention deficit, and acute psychotic decompensation in an immunocompetent man. Despite the known connection psychiatric symptoms, this cause often remains unrecognized. emphasizes importance maintaining suspicion for disease patients vague symptoms diagnostic difficulties.
The BNT162b2 (Pfizer BioNTech) mRNA vaccine is an effective against COVID-19 infection. Here, we report adverse event following immunization (AEFI) in a 48-year-old female patient who presented with fasciculations, migraine auras without headaches and increased discomfort of previously present palpitations, as well excitation insomnia. Her fasciculations were intermittently until the time this paper was written, starting from 6th day post-vaccination; they changed localization frequency, but...
Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neurological disorder characterised by progressive stiffness and painful muscle spasms. We present case of the autoimmune form glutamate decarboxylase-positive SPS that initially manifested in pregnancy. The diagnosis was made based on clinical, laboratory electromyoneurographic criteria. patient administered low doses diazepam baclofen. Considering clinical picture patients, caesarean section method choice for pregnancy termination.
