CLINICAL REVIEW Acquired C1 Esterase Inhibitor Deficiency
Acquired C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency is a rare condition associated with autoimmune or low-grade lymphoproliferative disorders. Adults or elderly patients are most commonly affected. The diagnosis is suspected when patients present with recurrent angioedema and low serum levels of C4 with normal levels of C3. Low levels of C1q and low C1 esterase inhibitor activity confirm the diagnosis. I...
متن کاملSafety of C1-inhibitor for clinical use.
To the Editor: Horstick and colleagues1 recently reported detrimental side effects of C1-inhibitor (C1inh) in pigs with myocardial ischemia. Local complement activation contributes to ischemic myocardium injury, and complement inhibition constitutes a novel therapeutic approach for coronary syndromes. C1inh reduces reperfusion injury in various animal models of myocardial infarction (MI). In do...
متن کاملClinical Presentation of Cervical Myelopathy at C1–2 Level
STUDY DESIGN Single-center retrospective study. PURPOSE To clarify the clinical features of cervical myelopathy at the C1-2 level. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Methods for distinguishing the affected level based on myelomere symptoms or dysfunction of the conducting pathway were established. However, no symptoms have been identified as being specific to the C1-2 level segment. METHODS We evalua...
متن کاملAcquired C1 inhibitor deficiency: Clinical manifestations, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis
INTRODUCTION — Acquired deficiency of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), also called acquired angioedema (AAE), is a rare syndrome of recurrent episodes of angioedema, without urticaria, which is associated with B cell lymphoproliferative disorders in some patients [1,2]. Angioedema typically affects the skin or mucosal tissues of the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. The swelling is self-limi...
متن کاملRevisiting C1
We show that logic C1 cannot be extended to a paraconsistent logic in which the substitution theorem is valid. We show with the help of an answer set programming (ASP) tool called clasp, that C1 is robust with respect to certain three valued paraconsistent logics with some desirable properties. In particular C1 is robust with respect to three-valued logic P2, a logic for which some of the De Mo...
