Dear Editor, Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinicoradiologic syndrome characterized by predominant parietal and occipital lobe edema that is mainly reversible within a few days.1,2 However, many atypical patterns have been identified.3 Reversibility is not always achieved,3 which exposes a contradiction in this supposedly benign entity. We report the case of a 14-year...

Nephrotic syndrome is a kidney disease with proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema. One rare, potentially life-threatening complication of nephrotic posterior reversible encephalopathy (PRES). Sudden episodes neurological symptoms such as headache, confusion, seizures, or focal deficits radiological findings white matter abnormalities in the parietal occipital lobes characterize it. Multiple f...

Allergen-specific immunotherapy is the only allergen-specific and disease-modifying treatment for allergy. The construction and characterization of a vaccine for birch pollen allergy is reported. Two nonallergenic peptides, PA and PB, derived from the IgE-reactive areas of the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 were fused to the hepatitis B surface protein, PreS, in four recombinant fusion pro...

We give a simple proof characterizing the complexity of Pres-burger arithmetic augmented with additional predicates. We show that Pres-burger arithmetic with additional predicates is 1 1 complete. Adding one unary predicate is enough to get 1 1 hardness, while adding more predicates (of any arity) does not make the complexity any worse.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a cliniconeuroradiologic disorder affecting the brain's occipital and parietal lobes characterized by altered mental status, seizures, headache and blurred vision. Eclampsia is one of the main causes of posterior reversible encephalopathy. We aimed to discuss here literature guided clinical and radiologic findings of four women who had expe...

BACKGROUND In 2010, EULAR/PRINTO/PRES proposed new classification criteria for paediatric IgA vasculitis (IgAV) that have a higher diagnostic sensitivity than the 1990 ACR criteria. These criteria have so far not been evaluated in adults, in whom IgAV is considered as a rare disease. Our main objective was to compare the diagnostic performance of EULAR/PRINTO/PRES and ACR classification criteri...

BACKGROUND Posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized by an acute neurologic dysfunction coupled with characteristic findings on brain imaging. PRES occurs in the setting of hypertensive emergencies, eclampsia and as a neurotoxic effect of immunosuppressive agents. While overwhelmingly reversible without residual deficits when promptly recognized, vague symptomato...

The Polycomb group and trithorax group genes of Drosophila are required for maintaining the differential expression state of developmental regulators, such as the homeotic genes, in a stable and heritable manner throughout development. The Polycomb group genes have been suggested to act by regulating higher order chromatin and packaging repressed chromosomal domains in a heterochromatin-like st...

My contribution relies on the research work carried on in the last fifteen years by the Genoa Research Group in Mathematics Education, which mainly concerned the early approach to conjecturing and proving (grades VII-VIII) and related cognitive and epistemological issues. Our results have been presented at the PME Conferences in Lisbon (1994, PME-XVIII: research report presented by Boero), Reci...
