INTRODUCTION Paediatric multiple sclerosis (MS) carries a relatively higher mortality and morbidity than adult MS. Paediatric MS symptoms and paraclinical findings at the first demyelinating event have never before been characterised in a Danish setting. The aim of this study was to compare symptoms and paraclinical findings at the first demyelinating event in paediatric MS with those of an adu...

Torsion of the gallbladder is a relatively rare surgical disease which mimics acute cholecystitis' symptoms that usually would not be respondable to medical therapies. The torsion would mostly be diagnosed intra-operatively. Cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice. In general in our centre, General Surgery department, Imam Reza hospital ,Mashhad, Iran, since 1986 over 14000 cholecystectomies...

MODERN PARACLINICAL EXPLORATION OF RENOVASCULAR ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION (Abstract): Renovascular arterial hypertension (RVAHT) is a type of secondary arterial hypertension (considered the second one in terms of frequency in secondary AHT in adults), which is in a causality relation with a unior bilateral stenosis of the renal artery. The concept of RVAHT appeared with Goldblat’s experiments (1934...

Background: Health & Well-being is one of the most important fundamental human requirements and the main indicators of development and social welfare. However, with rising health costs and unlimited needs and dwindling health system resources, it is necessary to rethink new remedial behavior. Paraclinical services are an important and costly part of health services, it appears crucial to unders...

a 31 year old woman was hospitalized for evaluation of aortic valve insufficiency and her present cardiac status. clinical and paraclinical findings strongly suggested the presence of a collagen vascular inflammatory processprecisely, the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (aps), with systemic lupus erythematosus as the underlying disease.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) requires exclusion of diseases that could better explain the clinical and paraclinical findings. A systematic process for exclusion of alternative diagnoses has not been defined. An International Panel of MS experts developed consensus perspectives on MS differential diagnosis. METHODS Using available literature and consensus, we ...

In the last years, there has been extremely much information which reveals an alarming increase of obesity in children and, at the same time, an increase of the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD implies a wide range of affections starting from simple hepatic steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); the latter can evolve to cirrhosis and hepatic carcinoma. A...

The former (1) and current (2) multiple sclerosis (MS) classifications are essential for describing different phenotypes and disease dynamics. To establish personalized treatment regimes, further clinical and paraclinical parameters have to be considered such as imaging, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings, past disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), and disease activity under these therapies. In c...

Recently, many cases of autoimmune limbic encephalitis with positive GAD65 (glutamic acid decarboxylase) antibodies have been described in the scientific literature. However, it remains an understudied topic of great relevance to practicing neurologists. Thus, we report here a review of published cases, in English, of autoimmune limbic encephalitis with this type of antibodies, focusing on pres...
