Hypokalaemic paralysis precipitated by distal renal tubular acidosis secondary to Sjögren's syndrome
Publikováno v:
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine. 45:221-225
A 43-year-old woman presented with a sudden onset of hypokalaemic paralysis requiring intubation and ventilatory support. Subsequent biochemical and clinical assessments established a diagnosis of distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) in association wi

In order to screen the genome for linkage disequilibrium (LD) in multiple sclerosis (MS), we typed 2537 microsatellite markers in separately pooled DNA from 200 cases and 200 controls from N. Ireland. Twenty two markers showing significant evidence o

Pathological changes in the normal-appearing white matter in multiple sclerosis are well recognised, but their relationship to pathology in focal lesions is not well understood. Magnetic resonance diffusion imaging is sensitive to abnormalities in th

The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of tissue provides an indication of the size, shape, and orientation of the water spaces in tissue. Thus, pathologic differences between lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with different clinical cour

Objective: To ascertain the presence of the Th2 response in MS patients by evaluating the level of soluble (s) CD30 across the clinical spectrum of MS and during relapse and remission.Background: MS is considered a T-cell-mediated disorder with the i

Endothelial activation is considered an important step in multiple sclerosis (MS) lesion formation, elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum levels of certain adhesion molecules being associated with varying stages of disease activity and clinica

The TNF alpha and beta genes are located between the class I and class III HLA loci and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. We carried out allelic association analysis using four microsatellite markers localised within a 2

Genetic predisposition to multiple sclerosis (MS) is determined, in part, by certain HLA genotypes, but the contribution of T-cell receptor (TCR) germline polymorphisms to MS susceptibility is less clear. Reports of disease associations with restrict

The effect of methylprednisolone on constitutive and interferon-beta (IFN-beta) induced HLA-DR expression on monocytes from multiple sclerosis (MS) patients was investigated. Constitutive HLA-DR expression was reduced by 50% following a single dose (

Activated cerebral vascular endothelial cells express leukocyte, vascular cell, and intracellular adhesion molecules (E-selectin, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1) which facilitate leukocyte adhesion to endothelium and migration into inflammatory lesions. Paired se
