Neuromuscular disorders and non compaction: How much is the strength of the association and how can it be suspected?
2009
In many reports Finsterer and Stöllberger reported a strong association between non compaction of the left ventricle and neuromuscular disorders. In the same report the authors described a neurological involvement in more than 50%. Recently we published our personal experience, about 21 paediatric patients: only 4 patients (19%) showed a neuromuscular disorder, and only 1 of them showed an increased plasmatic level of CK, and in particular of MM isoform, with a normal level of CK-MB. None presented high levels of troponine. Through the experience of 3 centres we collected 61 patients affected by non compaction that performed a neurological control, and only 14 (21%) were affected by neuromu…
Changes on blood filterability in patients with fluctuant hearing loss
2006
Abstract We conducted a two-year follow-up of thirteen subjects with fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, measuring their blood filterability (BF) and correlating it to the onset of episodes of deafness. We observed a decrease in the BF levels of all the patients when they experienced hearing loss. When the patients recovered their normal level of hearing, the BF also increased. The use of reactive techniques to avoid these decreases in BF could potentially prevent or correct fluctuating deafness.
Corneal opacity and copper levels of the Lewis syndrome after systemic chemotherapy
2020
Abstract Purpose To report a female patient of biclonal Lewis syndrome which consists of a trias: biclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, paraproteinemic keratopathy in form of a brownish discoid opacification at the level of Descemet's membrane and hypercupremia. After several years there was a conversion to multiple myeloma. Systemic chemotherapy led to a complete remission of multiple myeloma and to a normalization of the copper level in the blood that lasted five years. The corneal opacification remained unchanged. Observations A currently 66-year-old woman suffered from biclonal Lewis syndrome. On both eyes there is a central discoid yellow-brownish discoloration in the Pre-D…
