Three cases of hemichorea-hemiballismus (HC-HB) associated with nonketotic hyperglycemia were reported. Of them two patients presented as HC-HB and the remaining one as generalized chorea-ballismus (CB). Brain MRI showed characteristic T1-weighted high-intensity lesions in the contralateral or
Abnormal mucociliary clearance can either be due to defects of mucus production and rheology or to abnormalities of the cilia. Ciliary dysfunction can be inherited as a genetically determined defect in axonemal structure (called the immotile cilia syndrome or primary ciliary dyskinesia) or acquired
Clinical and X-ray studies were made in 316 patients, which revealed intestinal dyskinesia, chronic colitis, and nonspecific ulcerative colitis in 105, 133, and 78 patients, respectively. Irrigoscopy (administration of a contrast enema, examination of the mucosal contour, and double contrasting) was
Cough is common in airway disease. We measured cough frequency in children with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), to determine how accurately families assess this symptom; and to assess the relationship between cough frequency and airway inflammation, measured using induced sputum and exhaled nitric
The undesired extrapyramidal movement disorders observed with long term treatment with haloperidol have been associated with striatal neurodegeneration. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of prolonged haloperidol treatment on striatal levels of inflammatory mediators and
Lung disease in patients with both primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) or cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with impaired mucociliary clearance; however, clinical outcomes are typically worse in CF patients. We assessed whether CF and PCD patients differ in inflammatory response in the airways during
Patients with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) suffer from recurrent upper and lower airway infections due to defects in the cilia present on the respiratory epithelium. Since chronic inflammatory conditions can cause changes in innate immune responses, we investigated whether monocytes isolated
OBJECTIVE
Inflammation has been implicated in functional gastrointestinal disorders, including functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome. This study was undertaken to evaluate gallbladder wall inflammatory cells in children with abdominal pain related to gallstones and biliary dyskinesia to
Macroscopically, the airways in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) are inflamed and infected, and the eventual result is bronchiectasis. The measurement of noninvasive markers of inflammation in PCD may allow determination of mechanisms of tissue damage, and even allow monitoring of therapy. The aim
The approach to the integrated diagnosis of the patient with biliary tract diseases is reviewed as a basis for the appropriate treatment, taking into account the functional disturbances and the organic elements including malformation, inflammation, infection, gallstone and neoplasia. The role of
The majority of foreign gastroenterologists have their doubts whether there exist "undifferentiated" colitisis. They consider these to be a variant of the irritable bowel syndrome. We have examined 173 patients. Of these, 67 percent were less than 45 years of age with significant intestinal
