In this paper, three cases of grand mal seizures are reported as a complication of pefloxacin at usual doses (400 mg twice a day) in patients with cirrhosis. Grand mal seizures occurred from 12 h to 8 days after the onset of pefloxacin treatment. In 1 case, seizures recurred after inadvertent
Satisfactory treatment of patients with Dravet syndrome (DS) is often difficult. Some success can be achieved with bromides, but cognitive side effects and disturbed vigilance may limit their use. Here, we present the case of a successfully treated patient with DS and remarkable features in the
Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infection has been used as a viral model for multiple sclerosis (MS), as TMEV can induce chronic inflammatory demyelinating lesions with viral persistence in the spinal cord of SJL/J mice. In contrast, when C57BL/6 mice are infected with TMEV, the mice
BACKGROUND
Joubert syndrome (JS) is a ciliopathy characterised by a distinctive brain malformation (the 'molar tooth sign'), developmental delay, abnormal eye movements and abnormal breathing pattern. Retinal dystrophy, cystic kidney disease, liver fibrosis and polydactyly are variably present,
Report on two babies, 5 and 6 months old with severe salt depletion were admitted to our hospital with fever and gastro-enteritis. One of them failed to thrive despite normal nutrition, the other one had a protracted gastro-enteritis. Both of them had a great loss of weight, a strong dehydration and
We have previously identified a potential TGF-beta activation element (TAE) in the rat collagen alpha1(I) promoter at -1624 upstream of the transcriptional start site [Ritzenthaler et al., 1991, 1993]. To determine the importance of the TAE in vivo, we produced transgenic mice carrying 3.6 kb of the

Liver fibrosis results from chronic damage to the liver. Advanced liver fibrosis results in cirrhosis, liver failure, and portal hypertension and may even require liver transplantation. A liver biopsy is considered the "gold standard" method for the assessment of liver fibrosis; however,
We present the clinical, pathological, biochemical, and molecular results on an infant girl with long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency and data on her deceased elder brother for whom this condition was retrospectively diagnosed. Clinical signs were liver enlargement and
Exercised-associated muscle cramp (EAMC) is a common occurrence in sports medicine. We highlight a 17-year-old male high-school football player with a history of cystic fibrosis and hyponatremic seizure, who presented for recurrent EAMC. After establishing an appropriate electrolyte replacement and
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Most diagnoses of CF are made during infancy or childhood, and are based on respiratory or digestive involvement. Initial extracellular dehydration leading to the diagnosis of CF is
Transplantation for end-stage respiratory failure in cystic fibrosis (CF), with encouraging medium-term results, is now possible. This paper details the postoperative medical treatment required by these patients. The management of 79 patients who underwent heart-lung transplantation is described.
