Plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein levels in a child with sickle cell disease and stroke.
A 12-year-old boy with HbSS sickle cell disease (SCD) was admitted with an acute febrile illness and developed overt stroke 3 days later. Plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein levels were elevated, as compared to pediatric controls, 32 h prior to the clinical diagnosis of stroke, peaked immediately prior to the exchange transfusion, and remained elevated 1 year later despite chronic transfusio...
متن کاملMyxopapillary ependymoma with pleuropulmonary metastases and high plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein levels.
Introduction Myxopapillary ependymoma is a rare glial tumor with almost exclusive localization in the distal spinal cord (intraspinal variant) or the sacrococcygeal subcutaneous tissue (extraspinal variant). The average age at manifestation has been reported to be approximately 36 years. The overall incidence is approximately 0.08 per 100,000 persons per year for males and 0.05 per 100,000 pers...
متن کاملA strong start: plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein and stroke differential diagnosis.
In the January issue of Clinical Chemistry, Foerch and colleagues (1 ) report on the diagnostic accuracy of plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) for differentiating intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and cerebral ischemia in patients with symptoms of acute stroke. This major, welcome effort from the Biomarker for Rapid Diagnosis of Hemispheric Stroke (BE FAST!) group cites highly significa...
متن کاملPlasma Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein, D-Dimer and S100β Protein: A Panel for Differential Diagnosis of Acute Stroke
Objectives: To explore the diagnostic utility of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), S100β protein and dDimer for differentiation between cases of acute stroke compared to CT findings as a gold-standard diagnostic modality. Patients & Methods: The study included 80 patients; 51 males and 29 females with mean age of 49.6±6.8 years. Mean time lapsed since occurrence of symptoms till sampling ...
متن کاملAlterations in glial cell morphology and glial fibrillary acidic protein expression in urethane-induced retinopathy.
Urethane injection in newborn rats causes a photoreceptor degeneration without initial damage to the retinal pigment epithelium, choriocapillaris, or inner retina. In later stages, retinal vessels become incorporated into the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and change from a continuous endothelial cell phenotype to a fenestrated phenotype. At the light-microscopic level, there do not appear to...
