Celiac disease-associated autoimmune endocrinopathies.
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder induced by gluten intake in genetically susceptible individuals. It is characterized by the presence of serum antibodies to endomysium, reticulin, gliadin, and tissue transglutaminase. The incidence of CD in various autoimmune disorders is increased 10- to 30-fold in comparison to the general population, although in many cases CD is clinically asymp...
متن کاملImmunization with neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor induces neurological autoimmune disease.
Neuronal nicotinic AChRs (nAChRs) are implicated in the pathogenesis of diverse neurological disorders and in the regulation of small-cell lung carcinoma growth. Twelve subunits have been identified in vertebrates, and mutations of one are recognized in a rare form of human epilepsy. Mice with genetically manipulated neuronal nAChR subunits exhibit behavioral or autonomic phenotypes. Here, we r...
متن کاملThe role of glia in neurological disease
Glial cells form a network in the central nervous system to support neurons and interact with them. The glia consist essentially of astrocytes that help with the nutrition of neurons and react in some cases of injury, oligodendrocytes that produce myelin, and microglia that are derived from the haemopoietic system and are concerned with the immunological defense of the nervous system. Experimen...
متن کاملNeurological Disorders Associated with Malignant Disease.
CEREBRAL metastases occur in approximately 5% of all fatal cases of malignant disease (Willis, I952) and the effects of discrete macroscopical deposits are well known. On the other hand, disorders of the nervous system resulting from either diffuse microscopical infiltration or other associated changes are less familiar and are the main concern of this survey. In recent years it has been shown ...
متن کاملNeurological disease associated with folate deficiency.
In a general medical hospital population the neurological status of 24 patients with severe folate deficiency was compared with that of a control group of 21 patients with normal serum folate. A significant increase of organic brain syndrome and pyramidal tract damage was found in the folate-deficient group. These findings were independent of the degree of anaemia or the presence of alcoholism....
