Erysipelas-like erythema (ELE) is the pathognomonic cutaneous manifestation of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). It typically presents with painful, well-demarcated, and unilateral erythema overlying the ankle, and resolves spontaneously within 24 to 72 hours. Its incidence varies from 1% to 48%
As part of the central nervous system (CNS), the retina shares key structural and functional features with the brain, making it a potential portal into a patient's medical future. Since the cerebral and retinal microvasculature are strikingly similar, the condition of retinal vasculature has been
Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) are extra-axial fluid collections in the cranium that can result in brain compression and neurological decline. cSDH commonly occurs after traumatic brain injury (TBI); though, many times there is no history of trauma. The incidence of cSDH is expected to
This study aims to improve cognition and function in patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) by administering the oral antibiotic, rifaximin. Rifaximin is a virtually non-absorbed antibiotic with the unique properties of altering gut microbiota and lowering blood ammonia levels. It is FDA approved
The investigators performed an open label phase I clinical trial using two commercially available doses of Nilotinib (150 and 300mg capsules) in patients with advanced PDD and DLB. These indications have some overlapping pathologies and clinical symptoms and share common plasma and CSF biomarkers,
The prevalence of dementia is approximately 5-10% in the elderly who are over 65 years of age. In Korea, the prevalence of dementia among elderly people aged 65 and over was 9.18% in 2012, and the number of patients with dementia was estimated to be 540,755 (155,955 for male, 384,800 for female).
Diseases of diverse etiology can be correlated to the term "polyneuropathy"(PNP). The pathogenesis may be of inflammatory, autoimmune, metabolic, toxic or hereditary nature. Careful clinical and electrodiagnostic assessment, with attention to the pattern of involvement and the types of nerve fibers
DESCRIPTION PROJECT SUMMARY
Three groups of patients in sinus rhythm will be studied (n total = 100 patients):
- Group 1 "healthy volunteers" (n = 40): two age classes determined ([20-40ans, n = 20] and [60-80 years, n = 20]), to obtain normal values diastolic myocardial stiffness references. The
RESEARCH PROTOCOL
Hypothesis:
The presence of amyloid protein in the myocardium changes its function and tissue characteristics. These changes are responsible for the poor prognosis of patients with cardiac amyloidosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) offers a novel, non-invasive approach
The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is expected to quadruple by the year 2047. There are no known curative or preventive measures for AD. Current treatment options for AD only address symptoms, and no treatments are available that focus on delaying the actual disease process. One of the
This study uses the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra to treat children and adults with Neonatal-Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID), also known as chronic infantile neurological, cutaneous and arthropathy (CINCA) syndrome. NOMID/CINCA syndrome is a rare genetic systemic auto-inflammatory
