IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recently described systemic fibro-inflammatory condition characterised by tumefactive lesions and dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates rich in IgG4-positive plasma cells [1]. IgG4RD has been described in a variety of organ systems, including the lacrimal gland, salivary gland, lungs, pancreas and kidneys, and often responds favourably to corticosteroids. The p...

Tumefactive multiple sclerosis (TMS) is an unusual variant of demyelinating disease. TMS has a variable and unknown progression and presents with features similar to a neoplasm making the determination a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. This report presents one of the very few reported cases of isolated spinal cord TMS, and the second case to describe TMS of the lower spinal cord, given that...

Tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesions (TFLs) are rare idiopathic benign fibrosclerosing lesions that clinically simulate a malignancy. TFLs are seen more frequently in males between 10 and 74 years of age. The usual site of involvement is the head and neck region, but rarely the extremities may be involved. Coexisting fibrosclerotic processes have been reported including retroperitoneal fibrosi...

Piracetam was subjected to the hydrolytic, oxidative, thermal and photolytic stress, according to ICH guideline Q1A (R2). The drug depicted degradation only in basic conditions, while it was stable to other stress conditions (acidic, neutral hydrolysis, thermal and photolytic conditions). A total of one degradation product was formed, which were separated on a BEH column employing an isocratic ...

Atypical or idiosyncratic language is a characteristic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this paper, we discuss previous work identifying language errors associated with atypical language in ASD and describe a procedure for reproducing those results. We describe our data set, which consists of transcribed data from a widely used clinical diagnostic instrument (the ADOS) for children with au...
