Granuloma annulare is one of the granulomatous dermatoses, the localized form of which is the most common clinical type, although rare variants such as subcutaneous form have been reported.We present a 22-year-old girl with asymptomatic cutaneous lesions on her fingers from 14 years ago.On physical examination, multiple nodules with rubbery consistenc...
متن کاملTwo different neurodegenerative diseases caused by proteins with similar structures.
The downstream prion-like protein (doppel, or Dpl) is a paralog of the cellular prion protein, PrP(C). The two proteins have approximately 25% sequence identity, but seem to have distinct physiologic roles. Unlike PrP(C), Dpl does not support prion replication; instead, overexpression of Dpl in the brain seems to cause a completely different neurodegenerative disease. We report the solution str...
متن کاملBiochemical findings in sarcoidosis.
The majority of patients with sarcoidosis in this large series have had a number of biochemical investigations performed. Abnormal calcium metabolism was demonstrated in 40% of the patients but permanent renal damage due to nephrocalcinosis as a result of persistent derangement of calcium metabolism was rare. Raised immunoglobulin levels were seen. Half the white and two-thirds of the West Indi...
متن کاملSarcoidosis and spondyloarthritis: A coincidence or common etiopathogenesis?
Background: Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease. Co-existence with spondyloarthritis (SA) has been more described as an adverse effect of anti-TNF α therapy than an association. We report herein a case of a typical sarcoidosis confirmed by histological proofs and an advanced SA with a bamboo column. Case Presentation: A 48-years-old woman presented with inflammatory back p...
متن کاملOptic nerve sarcoidosis: MR findings.
Neurologic involvement has been described in 5% of patients with sarcoidosis; however, direct granulomatous involvement limited to the optic nerve but not involving the chiasm is rare. We describe two patients with biopsy-proven sarcoidosis; the fat-suppressed gadolinium-enhanced MR findings showed sarcoid involvement limited to the optic nerves.
