No re-appraisal of non-compaction diagnostic criteria without considering neurological co-morbidity and genetic heterogeneity.
Methods, Results, and Conclusions of the interesting study by Kohli et al. raise the following concerns. Irrespective of the diagnostic criteria applied, the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrabeculation/non-compaction (LVHT) is, compared with previous studies, extremely high. The sensitivity of the diagnostic criteria cannot explain this difference. The explanation that ‘the majority of no...
متن کاملRecommended diagnostic criteria for paraneoplastic neurological syndromes.
BACKGROUND Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are defined by the presence of cancer and exclusion of other known causes of the neurological symptoms, but this criterion does not separate "true" PNS from neurological syndromes that are coincidental with a cancer. OBJECTIVE To provide more rigorous diagnostic criteria for PNS. METHODS An international panel of neurologists interested...
متن کاملIsolated left ventricular non-compaction controversies in diagnostic criteria, adverse outcomes and management.
Isolated left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a morphological abnormality of excessive trabeculation of the LV, often complicated by ventricular dysfunction, arrhythmias and cardioembolism. Advances in cardiovascular imaging and widespread availability of imaging technology have led to an increase in the diagnosis of LVNC imposing a need for evidence-based imaging diagnostic criteria. Alth...
متن کاملProliferative verrucous leukoplakia; a critical appraisal of the diagnostic criteria
Since its introduction in the literature in 1985, the term proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) has been the subject of an ongoing discussion with regard to its definition. Widespread or multifocal occurrence of oral leukoplakia is not just synonymous to PVL. In the present treatise the proposal is made to require the involvement of more than two oral oral subsites, a total added seizeof t...
متن کاملApparently changing patterns of inheritance in Alport's hereditary nephritis: genetic heterogeneity versus altered diagnostic criteria.
With the use of more stringent diagnostic criteria, it has recently been shown that some large pedigrees of Alport's and non-Alport's hereditary nephritis fit sex-linked dominant inheritance (O'Neill et al. 1978). We have used similar diagnostic criteria and have studied a number of Michigan pedigrees in order to see if this hypothesis would be confirmed. We found one small pedigree which defin...
