Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading cause of congenital infection worldwide. Up to 15%–20% infected newborns will develop long-term sequelae such as hearing loss and neurologic abnormalities. The aim this study was investigate prevalence CMV (cCMV) associated clinical abnormalities in Spain. Methods: A prospective screening for cCMV by viral load saliva performed. Saliva samples were obtained within first 72 hours life a maternity ward Madrid (Spain), during 1-year period. All...
Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS) is a mitochondrial DNA deletion that presents with profound cerebral folate deficiency and other features. Preliminary data support the notion folinic acid therapy might be useful in treatment of KSS patients. Our aim was to assess clinical neuroimaging outcomes patients receiving therapy. Patients: We recruited eight diagnoses KSS. Four cases were treated at 12 de Octubre Hospital, two Sant Joan Déu Hospital. Two refused participate protocol. Methods: Clinical,...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In patients with syndromic craniosynostosis, early synostosis of the cranial base synchondroses may occur, potentially increasing frequency abnormalities in base. We aim to estimate prevalence platybasia, basilar invagination, odontoid retroflexion, Chiari malformation type I (CMI), and cervical syringomyelia craniosynostosis. Furthermore, we assess changes between initial preoperative study latest available for each patient. METHODS: This is a retrospective...
Abstract Protein kinase C (PKC) was initially identified as a serine/threonine protein dependent on calcium and phospholipids shown to be involved in intracellular signaling pathways. PKC isoforms have been classified into four groups: Ca 2+ ‐dependent conventional α, βI, βII, γ; ‐independent, novel δ, ϵ, η, θ; atypical PKCζ, λ, ι which are not activated by or diacylglycerol, the recently discovered PKCμ. We reported that activation of ζ isoform is an important step interleukin‐2...

Abstract The in‐vivo digestibility of soluble globulin proteins purified from faba bean ( Vicia ), lupin Lupinus angustifolius ) and soya Glycine max seed meals was studied in two acute (1 h) experiments with growing rats. Commercial insoluble denatured lactalbumin (Sigma) used as control. In experiment 1, five groups (four rats each) overnight fasted were intubated the different (300 mg) suspended distilled water (1.5 ml). Controls only water. 2, added to a basal diet (1.0 g) which...
We report the case of a 9-year-old girl with early-onset developmental delay, chronic ataxia and prolonged hemiplegic migraine episodes bringing about progressive deterioration. Two days into one episode, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging disclosed unilateral striatal abnormal signal consistent cytotoxic edema, which evolved atrophy on follow-up scans. Mutational screen CACNA1A gene identified de novo p.Tyr1387Cys mutation.
Abstract We report the case of a Caucasian Spanish origin female who showed severe psychomotor developmental delay, hypotonia, strabismus, epilepsy, short stature, and poor verbal language development. Brain magnetic resonance imaging scans thickened corpus callosum, cortical malformations, dilated abnormal configuration lateral ventricles without hydrocephalus. Whole‐exome sequence uncovered de novo variant in microtubule associated serine/threonine kinase 1 gene ( MAST1 ;...
Brain atrophy has been observed in perinatally HIV-infected patients (PHIV) despite initiation on combined antiretroviral treatment (cART), but neuroimaging studies are limited. We aimed to evaluate cortical thickness (CT) and subcortical gray matter (GM) volumes of PHIV youths with stable immunovirological situation a normal daily performance.A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted. A total 25 cART HIV-negative (HIV-) controls matched by age, sex, level education, socioeconomic...
