Abstract

BACKGROUND: A therapy that slows disease progression is the major unmet need in Parkinson's disease. METHODS: In this double-blind trial, we examined the possibility that rasagiline has disease-modifying effects in Parkinson's disease. A total of 1176 subjects with untreated Parkinson's disease were randomly assigned to receive rasagiline (at a dose of either 1 mg or 2 mg per day) for 72 weeks (the early-start group) or placebo for 36 weeks followed by rasagiline (at a dose of either 1 mg or 2 mg per day) for 36 weeks (the delayed-start group). To determine a positive result with either dose, the early-start treatment group had to meet each of three hierarchical end points of the primary analysis based on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS, a 176-point scale, with higher numbers indicating more severe disease): superiority to placebo in the rate of change in the UPDRS score between weeks 12 and 36, superiority to delayed-start treatment in the change in the score between baseline and week 72, and noninferiority to delayed-start treatment in the rate of change in the score between weeks 48 and 72. RESULTS: Early-start treatment with rasagiline at a dose of 1 mg per day met all end points in the primary analysis: a smaller mean (+/-SE) increase (rate of worsening) in the UPDRS score between weeks 12 and 36 (0.09+/-0.02 points per week in the early-start group vs. 0.14+/-0.01 points per week in the placebo group, P=0.01), less worsening in the score between baseline and week 72 (2.82+/-0.53 points in the early-start group vs. 4.52+/-0.56 points in the delayed-start group, P=0.02), and noninferiority between the two groups with respect to the rate of change in the UPDRS score between weeks 48 and 72 (0.085+/-0.02 points per week in the early-start group vs. 0.085+/-0.02 points per week in the delayed-start group, P

Abstract

Summary. Background: Low ankle–brachial Index (ABI) identifies patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease. The aim of this study was to correlate ABI value (normal or low) with 1-year clinical outcome in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndromes or cerebrovascular diseases (CVD). Methods: ABI was measured in consecutive patients hospitalized because of acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). An ABI lower than or equal to 0.90 was considered abnormal. The primary outcome of the study was the composite of non-fatal acute myocardial infarction, non-fatal ischemic stroke, and death from any cause during the year following the index event. Results: An abnormal ABI was found in 27.2% of 1003 patients with acute coronary syndromes, and in 33.5% of 755 patients with acute CVD. After a median follow-up of 372 days, the frequency of the primary outcome was 10.8% (57/526) in patients with abnormal ABI and 5.9% (73/1232) in patients with normal ABI [odds ratio (OR) 1.96; 95% CI 1.36–2.81]. Death was more common in patients with abnormal ABI (OR 2.05; 95% CI 1.31–3.22). Cardiovascular mortality accounted for 81.7% of overall mortality. ABI was predictive of adverse outcome after adjustment for vascular risk factors in the logistic regression analysis (OR 1.93; 95% CI 1.24–3.01). The predictive value of ABI was mainly accounted for by patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndromes (adverse outcome: 12.8% in patients with abnormal ABI and 5.9% in patients with normal ABI, OR 2.35; 95% CI 1.47–3.76). Conclusions: An abnormal ABI can be found in one-third of patients hospitalized for acute coronary or cerebrovascular events and is a predictor of an adverse 1-year outcome.

Abstract

In ischaemic stroke, thrombolytic drugs speed the recanalisation of intracerebral arteries. The effects of aspirin are not known. A trial was conducted to determine whether, separately or together, streptokinase and aspirin have clinical benefits in acute ischaemic stroke similar to those in acute myocardial infarction. 622 patients with acute ischaemic stroke within 6 hours of symptom onset were randomised with a 2x2 factorial design to (i) a 1-hour intravenous infusion of 1 . 5 MU streptokinase, (ii) 300 mg/day buffered aspirin for 10 days, (iii) both active treatments, or (iv) neither. Early results raised a question whether the trial should be continued. Streptokinase (alone or with aspirin) was associated with an excess of 10-day case fatality (odds ratio 2 . 7; 95% confidence interval 1 . 7-4 . 3; 2p

Abstract

BACKGROUND: A therapy that slows disease progression is the major unmet need in Parkinson's disease. METHODS: In this double-blind trial, we examined the possibility that rasagiline has disease-modifying effects in Parkinson's disease. A total of 1176 subjects with untreated Parkinson's disease were randomly assigned to receive rasagiline (at a dose of either 1 mg or 2 mg per day) for 72 weeks (the early-start group) or placebo for 36 weeks followed by rasagiline (at a dose of either 1 mg or 2 mg per day) for 36 weeks (the delayed-start group). To determine a positive result with either dose, the early-start treatment group had to meet each of three hierarchical end points of the primary analysis based on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS, a 176-point scale, with higher numbers indicating more severe disease): superiority to placebo in the rate of change in the UPDRS score between weeks 12 and 36, superiority to delayed-start treatment in the change in the score between baseline and week 72, and noninferiority to delayed-start treatment in the rate of change in the score between weeks 48 and 72. RESULTS: Early-start treatment with rasagiline at a dose of 1 mg per day met all end points in the primary analysis: a smaller mean (+/-SE) increase (rate of worsening) in the UPDRS score between weeks 12 and 36 (0.09+/-0.02 points per week in the early-start group vs. 0.14+/-0.01 points per week in the placebo group, P=0.01), less worsening in the score between baseline and week 72 (2.82+/-0.53 points in the early-start group vs. 4.52+/-0.56 points in the delayed-start group, P=0.02), and noninferiority between the two groups with respect to the rate of change in the UPDRS score between weeks 48 and 72 (0.085+/-0.02 points per week in the early-start group vs. 0.085+/-0.02 points per week in the delayed-start group, P<0.001). All three end points were not met with rasagiline at a dose of 2 mg per day, since the change in the UPDRS score between baseline

Abstract

We described the clinical, electrophysiological (electromyography, sensory and motor nerve conduction study, somatosensory evoked potentials, brainstem auditory evoked potentials, visual evoked potentials) and neuroradiological (brain magnetic resonance) data in 3 siblings (2 males and 1 female, age range: 54-48 years) affected by autosomal recessive late onset cerebellar ataxia. The 3 patients showed at the electrophysiological examination: mild peripheral neuropathy, involvement of somatosensory pathways both on central and peripheral side. A mild cerebellar atrophy, most evident in the female more severely disabled, was found by magnetic resonance.

Abstract

We studied 10 patients with post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) and normal CTscans. P3 with an oddball paradigm, several neuropsychological tests and EEG were performed the day after the trauma and several times later until full recovery. In all patients, P3 latencies at admission were above normal limits (mean + 2 SDs) and decreased progressively during recovery from PTA. The latency reductions correlated significantly with improvement of neuropsychological tests.

Abstract

Ten patients with myotonic dystrophy have been studied by M-mode and 2-dimensional echocardiography. Six patients had echocardiographic abnormalities: mitral valve prolapse, hypertrophy of the papillary muscles (2 cases); impaired regional left ventricular relaxation, probably due to "cardiac myotonia" (4 patients); and dilatative cardiomyopathy in the sole patient with overt heart disease. There seems to be no relation between involvement of skeletal and cardiac muscle. It is likely, although not proved, that myocardial involvement in myotonic dystrophy occur initially as "myotonia", followed by a "dystrophic" phase with severe dilatative cardiomyopathy, not unlike the skeletal muscle.

Abstract

Placentae or uteri from pregnant rats (days 12-21) contained no detectable alpha-subunit of the glycoprotein hormones (CG, TSH, FSH, and LH) when assayed in either a rat or human alpha-RIA. The heads of rat fetuses contained increasing concentrations of alpha-subunit when assayed from days 12-20 of gestation (7.2-46 ng/g). Human term placenta contained large quantities of alpha-subunit (16,000 ng/g). alpha-Subunit was synthesized by the cell-free translation of poly(A)-enriched mRNA from mouse TSH-secreting pituitary tumor and human term placenta, but not from rat placentae or uterine implantation sites (days 11-21 of gestation). In addition, alpha mRNA was detected in mouse TSH-secreting pituitary tumor, rat pituitary, and human term placenta by hybridization to a 32P-labeled mouse alpha cDNA probe although no alpha mRNA could be detected in rat placentae (days 13-21 of gestation). The luteotropic activity found in pregnant rodents must be caused by a substance with a structure substantially distinct from any known gonadotropin.
