[Familial approach in hereditary transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis].
Cardiac amyloidosis is a disease of complex diagnosis and treatment. Some subtypes of cardiac amyloidosis are inherited. Among these, the most common variant is caused by mutations in the transthyretin gene. Correct identification of amyloidosis produced by a genetic defect is of great importance because it modifies the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in patients and their families. We desc...
متن کاملHereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis in Eight Chinese Families
BACKGROUND Mutations of transthyretin (TTR) cause the most common type of autosomal-dominant hereditary systemic amyloidosis, which occurs worldwide. To date, more and more mutations in the TTR gene have been reported. Some variations in the clinical presentation are often observed in patients with the same mutation or the patients in the same family. The purpose of this study was to find out t...
متن کاملPosition of dorsal root ganglia in the lumbosacral region in patients with radiculopathy
BACKGROUND When applying pulsed radiofrequency on dorsal root ganglia for treating chronic lower back pain, maximum efficiency can be expected when a needle is placed 1-2 cm peripheral to the dorsal root ganglion. The object of this study is to analyze images taken after adding contrast to transforaminal epidural injection, categorize root ganglia according to anatomical position, and provide a...
متن کاملPeroxisomes in dorsal root ganglia.
Bodies with the morphologic and cytochemical characteristics of peroxisomes have been identified in the satellite and Schwann cells of rat dorsal root ganglia. They are membrane-delimited, round or oval structures which contain a moderately electron-dense matrix but lack a crystalline core. On incubation of the tissue in a cytochemical medium for demonstration of peroxisomes, these bodies show ...
