Pathogenesis and Clinical Aspects of Cerebrovascular Disorders

Pathogenesis and clinical aspects of cerebrovascular disorders.

Chikungunya: Molecular Aspects, Clinical Outcomes and Pathogenesis.

The alarming worldwide emergence of the chikungunya virus began in the last decade. Since the first autochthonous transmission in Mexico in November of 2014, the virus has spread throughout the country, resulted in multiple outbreaks. This virus produces an acute and self-limiting disease characterized by fever, polyarthralgia, myalgia, exanthema, and general malaise. It is transmitted to human...

Noonan syndrome: clinical aspects and molecular pathogenesis.

Noonan syndrome (NS) is a relatively common, clinically variable and genetically heterogeneous developmental disorder characterized by postnatally reduced growth, distinctive facial dysmorphism, cardiac defects and variable cognitive deficits. Other associated features include ectodermal and skeletal defects, cryptorchidism, lymphatic dysplasias, bleeding tendency, and, rarely, predisposition t...

Disorders of cerebrovascular angioarchitectonics and microcirculation in the etiology and pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease

There have recently appeared many reports dedicated to cerebral hemodynamics disorders in AD. However, certain specific aspects of cerebral blood flow and microcirculation during this disease are not fully understood. This research focuses on the identification of particular features of cerebral angioarchitectonics and microcirculation at preclinical and clinical AD stages and on the determinat...

Clinical Genetic Aspects of ASD Spectrum Disorders.

Early presumptions opined that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was related to the rearing of these children by emotionally-distant mothers. Advances in the 1960s and 1970s clearly demonstrated the biologic basis of autism with a high heritability. Recent advances have demonstrated that specific etiologic factors in autism spectrum disorders can be identified in 30%-40% of cases. Based on early r...
