Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare neurodegenerative of undetermined etiology, In syndrome the symptomatology quite variable and it consist predominantly progressive dementia with rapid onset, myoclonus, also cerebellar, pyramidal, extrapyramidal visual signs, evolution this uniformly fatal, most patients die within 12 months, we present case 72 year old women, who was admitted for statu...

BACKGROUND Accessory pathway (AP) ablation is not always easy. Our purpose was to assess the age-related prevalence of AP location, electrophysiological and prognostic data according to this location. METHODS Electrophysiologic study (EPS) was performed in 994 patients for a pre-excitation syndrome. AP location was determined on a 12 lead ECG during atrial pacing at maximal preexcitation and ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Ventricular fibrillation (VF) can inadvertently occur during electrophysiologic study (EPS) or catheter ablation. We investigated the incidence, cause, and progress of inadvertently developed VF during EPS and catheter ablation. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We reviewed patients who had developed inadvertent VF during EPS or catheter ablation. Patients who developed VF during...

BACKGROUND/AIMS It remains unclear whether atrophic gastritis can affect dyspeptic symptoms. We aimed to investigate whether the extent of atrophic gastritis is associated with specific dyspeptic symptoms. METHODS Consecutive adults in a routine health-checkup program were enrolled in the study. The extent of atrophic gastritis was classified into 3 groups based on the Kimura-Takemoto criteri...

OBJECTIVE Patients who meet the Rome III criteria for functional dyspepsia (FD) are generally classified into the following two subgroups, those with postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) and those with epigastric pain syndrome (EPS), in order to treat the dyspeptic symptoms caused by the respective pathophysiological conditions. However, whether simple classification of FD can accurately distin...

BACKGROUND BL-1020, a novel gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) ester of perphenazine, is a new oral antipsychotic with a strong affinity for dopamine and serotonin receptors. Unlike first- and second-generation antipsychotics, it has agonist activity at GABA(A). OBJECTIVE This is the first study to examine tolerability and safety of BL-1020 in schizophrenia. METHODS This was a phase-II, open-la...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Risk stratification in Brugada syndrome (BrS) is challenging. Cardiogenic syncope, family history sudden cardiac death and ECG markers are useful variables determining patient risk. Invasive risk sometimes needed those with an intermediate phenotype. Implantable loop recorders (ILR) may be considered patients no induc...

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to evaluate the characteristics of electrophysiologic studies (EPS) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) performed in subjects aged less than 30 years with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, particularly pediatric patients under 18 years of age, based on our experience. METHODS Two hundred and one consecutive patients with WPW syndrome were recruited a...

The cyanobacterial strain Phormidium tenue was subjected to different stress conditions like culture aging, phosphate and nitrate depleted condition, excess nitrate (10mM) and salinity (0.9M NaCl). Excess nitrate and salinity used were just the double amount, required for normal concentration. Growth was monitored by Chlorophyll content and total protein level in relation to polysaccharide prod...
