In the present study, we investigated the incidence of defects in protein S, protein C, antithrombin and resistance to activated protein C (APC-R) in patients with DVT referred to the...
متن کاملAutosomal recessive lipid storage myopathy (probable carnitine deficiency).
Two sisters died at the age of 17 and 19, respectively, of a myopathy with exacerbations and remissions characterised by pain and weakness of muscles which ended fatally with lactic acidosis and respiratory failure. The clinical picture was very similar to that described in some cases of carnitine deficiency and the histochemical finding of many lipid-filled vacuoles in muscle fibres and the el...
