Surgical treatment was associated with a cost savings due to shorter hospital stays and the use of fewer services upon discharge into the community.
-
Clopidogrel and aspirin therapy is more effective than aspirin alone in reducing asymptotic MES in patients with recently symptomatic CS.
-
Immunohistochemistry revealed perivascular staining in spinal cords for human IgG in rats that received high-titer antibodies, high doses of low-titer antibodies or high doses of control IgG.
-
Celiac disease is present in 2.4% of patients referred for suspected dysautonomia, similar to the 2.5% incidence of celiac disease in idiopathic peripheral neuropathy.
-
In SOD1(G93A) transgenic mice, a model for familial ALS, intraspinal injection of a lentiviral vector that produces RNAi-mediated silencing of SOD1 substantially retards both the onset and the progression rate of the disease.
-
IgG from all narcolepsy patients significantly enhanced bladder contractile responses to the muscarinic agonist carbachol and to neuronally released acetylcholine compared with control IgG (P < 0.0001), whereas contraction of the sympathetically innervated vas deferens was unaltered.
-
SNRIs may be performed safely with only minor side effects to be expected
-
Once-daily rasagiline reduces mean daily off-time and improves symptoms of Parkinsons disease in levodopa-treated patients with motor fluctuations, an effect similar to that of entacapone.
-
The therapeutic response to indomethacin is the most reliable differential diagnostic criterion for PH vs CH.
-
In 15%, and without correlation to maternal disease severity or antibody level, neonatal MG due to the transplacental transfer of maternal antibodies results in transient weakness of the newborn that resolves within 12 weeks.
