Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) may present with a variety of symptoms and findings consisting of either only persistent headache, or slowly progressive stroke over several days, or even coma. CVT may develop in relation to hypercoagulable states. However, even after extensive investigation, a predisposing factor could not be identified in some cases. We report a case of CVT associated with heterozygous V Leiden mutation and sarcoidosis. Since most factor V gene heterozygous individuals do not exhibit clinical thrombotic events, the venous thrombosis of our patient suggests convergence of an inherited predisposition (heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation) with an acquired thrombogenic stimulus (sarcoidosis). Early diagnosis and treatment with anticoagulation is pivotal for a favorable outcome.
In this work we present a system for the monitoring and management of neurodegenerative diseases, such as the Parkinson's Disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The purpose of the system is to monitor patient's motor symptoms, and assist the clinician in the evaluation of both the current patient status and the disease progression. The system progresses one step further and suggests appropriate patient treatment changes, based on previously stored or accumulated medical knowledge. In this work, we focus on the description of the wearable platforms used to monitor the patient motor status at the patient's environment.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a clinicopathologic term that encompasses two main components: 1) simple steatosis (non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL)), a benign condition characterized ...
