Abstract The extracellular matrix comprises a network of macromolecules such as collagens, proteoglycans and glycoproteins. VWA1 (von Willebrand factor A domain containing 1) encodes component the that interacts with perlecan/collagen VI, appears to be involved in stabilizing structures, demonstrates high expression levels tibial nerve. Vwa1-deficient mice manifest abnormal peripheral nerve structure/function; however, variants have not previously been associated human disease. By...

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy usually elicited by upper respiratory tract infection. Several studies reported GBS associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) In this study, we described nine patients following the COVID-19 vaccine.

Abstract Background Fat infiltration in individual muscles of sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) patients has rarely been assessed. Methods Sixteen sIBM were assessed using MRI the thighs and lower legs (LL). The severity fat infiltration, proximal‐to‐distal side asymmetries, correlations with clinical functional parameters investigated. Results All had fat‐infiltrated muscles, more severely affected than LL. A gradient was mainly observed for adductors, quadriceps, sartorius, medial...

A simple method is described for measuring the area of anterior fontanelle at birth. Normal values in preterm and term infants suggest enlargement with gestational age. Small-for-dates have significantly larger fontanelles than either or infants. Knowledge normal variation size may be help early diagnosis congenital hypothyroidism provide a clue to other disorders skeletal development.

The autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis (MG), can mimic a variety of neurological disorders leading to delay in diagnosis and treatment. On occasions, misdiagnosis MG could lead unnecessary therapeutic interventions. We report the case 50 year-old man, whom was mistaken for motor neuron (MND). Subsequently, correct optimal management resulted saving his life significant improvement functional status. discuss importance considering as one potential differential diagnoses among cases new...

Summary Two cases of refractory acute myeloid leukaemia were treated with methoxy-9-ellipticine lactate alone and in combination other chemotherapeutic agents. In the first patient a successful complete second third remission was achieved lasting 2 3 months respectively. However, partial obtained as treatment only started terminal phase illness. view resistance this form to present drugs both initally at time relapse, response these two is worth reporting.
