Clinical spectrum of BICD2 mutations.
2020
Background and purpose Mutations in the BICD2 gene cause autosomal dominant lower extremity-predominant spinal muscular atrophy 2A (SMALED2A), a condition that is associated with a specific pattern of thigh and calf muscle involvement when studied by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients may present minor clinical sensory impairment, but objective sensory involvement has yet to be demonstrated. Methods We collected clinical data from 11 patients from five different families carrying mutations in BICD2. Genetic diagnosis was achieved using gene panel testing and skin biopsies were taken from two patients to study the epidermal nerve fiber density. Results In the studied patients, three …
Data analysis on extinct and living Picidae in Sicily and Calabria (Southern Italy).
2015
Some species of animals related to forest habitats have disappeared or greatly decreased in the first half of the last century. However, during the second half of the last century the forest areas have increased and many forests have been protected. This produced conditions for a re-colonization or reintroduction of extinct forest animal species. The present study is a complete overview of records of extinct and still living Black Woodpecker Dryocopus martius, European green Woodpecker Picus viridis, Middle spotted Woodpecker Dendrocopos medius and Lesser spotted Woodpecker Dendrocopos minor in Sicily and Calabria (Southern Italy). This study was carried out to show that these woodpeckers, …

Detection of exercise load-associated differences in hip muscles by texture analysis
2014
We examined whether specific physical exercise loading is associated with texture parameters from hip muscles scanned with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ninety-one female athletes representing five distinct exercise-loading groups (high-impact, odd-impact, low-impact, nonimpact and high-magnitude) and 20 nonathletic female controls underwent MRI of the hip. Texture parameters were computed from the MRI images of four hip muscles (gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, iliopsoas and obturator internus). Differences in muscle texture between the athlete groups and the controls were evaluated using Mann-Whitney U-test. Significant (P < 0.05) textural differences were found between the high-impac…
Meticilīnrezistento Staphylococcus intermedius grupas baktēriju identifikācija un izplatība suņiem Latvijā
2015
Meticilīnrezistentā Staphylococcus intermedius grupa (MRSI) ir galvenā rezistento patogēnu grupa mazajiem dzīvniekiem veterinārajā medicīnā. No gandrīz visām veterinārajām klīnikām pasaulē tiek ziņots par arvien vairāk pieaugošo rezistenci, īpašus draudus rada multirezistence. Meticilīna rezistenci nosaka mecA gēns, kas ir insertēts hromosomālā kasetē, pazīstamā kā stafilokoku hromosomālā kasete (staphylococcal chromosomal cassette – SCCmec). Darba mērķis ir identificēt meticilīnrezistentās S. intermedius grupas baktērijas Latvijā un noteikt to izplatību, kā arī optimizēt noteikšanas procedūru. Izmantojot skrīninga metodes, Brilliance MRSA2 agaru un Mannitol Salt agaru ar 2 mg/L cefoksitīnu…
