Expansión anormal de hexanucleótido en gen C9orf72 en una familia con demencia frontotemporal y cuadros asociados

Rev. méd. Chile; 145 (7), 2017
Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and Motor Neuron Disease (MND) may share similar pathogenic mechanisms. An abnormal hexanucleotide expansion in C9orf72 gene is the most common genetic abnormality of these conditions and explains their concurrence in the same family. We report a 77-year-old female presentin...

Cranio-vertebral transition assessment by magnetic resonance imaging in a sample of a northeast Brazilian population

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (7), 2017
ABSTRACT Platybasia and basilar invagination are important alterations of the cranial-vertebral transition. Neuroimaging-based platybasia parameters include the Welcker basal angle, distance between the apex of the odontoid and Chamberlain's line, and the clivus-canal angle. This study aimed to measure a...

Critical analysis on the present methods for brain volume measurements in multiple sclerosis

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (7), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective The treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) has quickly evolved from a time when controlling clinical relapses would suffice, to the present day, when complete disease control is expected. Measurement of brain volume is still at an early stage to be indicative of therapeutic decisions i...
