Abstract

Background: To assess Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) incidence we relied on the Italian Network for the study of GBS (ITANG) established in 2010 in 7 Italian regions to analyse the association between influenza vaccination and GBS. Methods: All individuals aged ≥18 years, presenting with clinical manifestations that suggested GBS according to the universally accepted Asbury's diagnostic criteria (1990) were prospectively notified to a centralised database by ITANG neurologists over the period October 1, 2010-September 30, 2011. Through a telephone survey, 9 trained interviewers followed up the cases to diagnosis and then for 1 year since hospital discharge. Validation of case reporting was performed with the support of administrative data in 5 regions. Results: We found 365 cases fulfilling the definition for GBS or one of its variants over 19,846,068 population ≥18 years of age, yielding an annual incidence rate of 1.84 per 100,000 (95% CI 1.65-2.03), 2.30 (95% CI 1.99-2.60) in men and 1.41 (95% CI 1.18-1.64) in women. A highly significant peak of incidence was observed in February 2011 as compared to reference month (September 2011, rate ratio 3.3:1, p < 0.01). Conclusions: In Italy, GBS incidence was among the highest reported in Europe and higher than previously observed in Italian studies.

Abstract

Biochemical response of spinal motor neurons (SMNs) to putative trophic factors present in the fetal calf serum (FCS) or released from the native glial cells was evaluated in ventral spinal cord cultures of 12- to 14- and 16- to 18-day embryos (before and after death of many SMNs in vivo) considering choline acetyltransferase and 2',3'-cyclic 3'phosphohydrolase as the biochemical markers of SMNs and oligodendrocytes respectively. Cultured SMNs of older embryos were more dependent than those of younger embryos on glial cells and on FCS putative trophic factors. FCS seemed more important than glial cells for survival of both older and younger SMNs and its withdrawal resulted in more prominent and longer neurite outgrowth. Our study demonstrates that the response of SMNs to trophic factors depends on the age of the rat embryos from which they were cultured.

Abstract

A histo-morphometric analysis has been carried out in 23 muscle biopsies obtained from patients with congenital myopathies (6 nemaline m., 10 centronuclear m., 4 central core m., 3 multicore m.) in order to improve diagnosis and to confirm the data available in literature. No relationship has been found between the severity of the disease and the histo-pathological features as previously described. Nevertheless, the following pathological aspects diverge from previous reports: a) the absence of rods within the nuclei and of mitochondrial abnormalities in nemaline myopathy; b) the presence of type I fiber hypertrophy and of mitochondrial alterations in 30% of the patients with centronuclear myopathy; c) the presence of cores even in type II fibers, mitochondrial abnormalities, nucleosis, inflammatory cellular reaction and fibrosis in addition to the absence of rods in central core myopathy; d) the type I fiber hypertrophy in all patients with multicore myopathy.

Abstract

19 ALS patients were submitted to motor evoked potentials (MEP) and F-wave from thenar muscles. Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) from median nerve were recorded as well in 16 patients. MEP were bilaterally absent in 4 patients (21%) and monolaterally absent in 6 patients (3.6%). Among patients with recordable waves, MEP and F-wave were significantly delayed. Their upper motor neuron conduction time was clearly abnormal only in one case. In SEP recordings the N9-N13 was significantly delayed, but the N13-N20 was normal. Four patients showed a combined sensory-motor dysfunction (increase of both N19-N13 interval and F-wave latency).

Abstract

Background There are 2 types of nocturnal respiratory disorders: the obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and the central sleep apnoea (CSA). Correlation of CSA with severity of cardiac disfunction and arrhythmias has been hypothesized. Aim Evaluate the prevalence of OSA/CSA in heart failure patients, the effect of cardiac resynchronyzation therapy (CRT) on OSA/CSA and the predictive value of positive response to CRT. Methods We submitted 10 pts, mean age 70y±4.8 affected by dilated cardiomyopathy, III NYHA class, EF<40%, VO2 < 15 and QRS duration >130ms to polysomnography before CRT. After CRT we repeated the exam in 5. Results We documented a prevalence of light sleep and a moderate or severe fragmentation of sleep. 6 showed an abnormal index of apnoea-hypopnoea (AHI) and number of AHI per sleep/hour: 4 had light AHI, 1 moderate AHI and 1 severe AHI. Most frequent event recorded was CSA; 2 of the 4 pts with normal AHI had OSA/CSA. In the 5 pts controlled after CTR we found improvement in sleep pattern. Conclusions Polysomnography found high prevalence of sleep disorders in our patients with heart failure. Our data suggest that CRT can improve sleep quality. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

Five Italian families with recurrence of cases of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (type Ia) were analysed using three closely linked DNA probes that detect polymorphisms in the region 17p11.2. The probe pVAW409R3 detected the presence of a duplication in all the affected subjects, but not in the subjects with normal electromyographic (EMG) findings. This observation confirms previous data indicating the association of the duplication with the disease, suggesting that, at least in populations of European origin, the duplication might be the molecular feature diagnostic of the pathological trait.

Abstract

A 43-year-old woman with progressive external ophthalmoplegia developed a bifascicular block and dilatation of the right ventricle during 4 years of follow-up. Histochemical and electron microscopy studies detected mitochondrial abnormalities in ocular, skeletal muscle and cardiac biopsies. This case registers disease progression from the external ocular to the skeletal and cardiac muscles. Mitochondrial DNA was deleted in relation to the morphological abnormality.

Abstract

Serum lipid, lipoprotein and apoprotein parameters were evaluated in 15 patients (7 males and 8 females) with Friedreich's ataxia. Serum lipid levels in patients showed no significant differences compared to controls. Small reduction in serum phospholipid and in total HDL and HDL3 cholesterol levels were observed, and the female patients presented a slight reduced total cholesterol level; among the serum apoproteins, apo B was reduced only in the males. The most interesting findings concerned the lipoproteins, since both lipid and protein masses of the VLDL, LDL and HDL2 fractions were reduced. In reference to lipoprotein composition, however, HDL2 was the most modified fraction, showing an important protein reduction. From this point of view, this lipoprotein seems the most responsible for the changes observed in our patients. The meaning of this modified lipoprotein pattern in the pathophysiology of Friedreich's ataxia is not clear.

Abstract

Seventy-four myasthenic patients (54 F, 20 M; mean age 49.6 years) were evaluated using the diagnostic criteria of the DSM-III in order to investigate the prevalence of psychiatric disturbances in this order. Fifty-one had had thymectomies, of whom 28 females had hyperplasia, two females and five males had involution of the thymus, and 10 females and six males had thymomata. Psychiatric disturbances were observed in 38 subjects (51%), in particular, adjustment disorders with depressed mood and mixed emotional features (19%) (22% including adjustment disorder with anxious mood), affective disorders (13.5%) and personality disorders (18%).

Abstract

Biochemical response of spinal motor neurons (SMNs) to putative trophic factors present in the fetal calf serum (FCS) or released from the native glial cells was evaluated in ventral spinal cord cultures of 12- to 14- and 16- to 18-day embryos (before and after death of many SMNs in vivo) considering choline acetyltransferase and 2',3'-cyclic 3'phosphohydrolase as the biochemical markers of SMNs and oligodendrocytes respectively. Cultured SMNs of older embryos were more dependent than those of younger embryos on glial cells and on FCS putative trophic factors. FCS seemed more important than glial cells for survival of both older and younger SMNs and its withdrawal resulted in more prominent and longer neurite outgrowth. Our study demonstrates that the response of SMNs to trophic factors depends on the age of the rat embryos from which they were cultured.

Abstract

19 ALS patients were submitted to motor evoked potentials (MEP) and F-wave from thenar muscles. Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) from median nerve were recorded as well in 16 patients. MEP were bilaterally absent in 4 patients (21%) and monolaterally absent in 6 patients (3.6%). Among patients with recordable waves, MEP and F-wave were significantly delayed. Their upper motor neuron conduction time was clearly abnormal only in one case. In SEP recordings the N9-N13 was significantly delayed, but the N13-N20 was normal. Four patients showed a combined sensory-motor dysfunction (increase of both N19-N13 interval and F-wave latency).
