..Therefore, careful correction of glucose levels should be considered in patients with long-standing uncontrolled diabetes...

..It is still unresolved whether extensive investigations and specifically a muscle biopsy should be performed in clinically normal individuals with elevated CK levels...

..7 channel. Loss-of-function mutations in Na(v)1.7 are extremely rare, and invariably cause congenital inability to perceive pain...

..We propose that a toxic mechanism may be responsible for non-compression cases of acute neuropathy following heroin abuse...

..These phenotypes are characterized by episodic extreme localized pain with cutaneous autonomic signs. So far, no other phenotypes have been associated with mutation in the SCN9A gene...

..Genetic analysis identified a heterozygous missense mutation in KCNQ2 in the child and his mother. CONCLUSION: KCNQ2 mutations can present with a neonatal onset multifocal myoclonus-like dyskinesia...

..Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is an autosomal dominant, multisystem disorder caused by a CCTG tetranucleotide repeat expansion located in intron 1 of the zinc finger protein 9 gene (ZNF9 gene) on chromosome 3q 21.3...

..Marked clinical improvement occurred 1-2 weeks after oral prednisone therapy was initiated. Three patients remained symptom free, and one patient experienced recurrence of neuropathy after prednisone was tapered...

..The reported side effects were few and mild, and the drug was well tolerated. Serum progesterone levels were found to rise during LTG treatment...

..Further studies with a larger number of patients and with other antiepileptic drugs are needed to properly clarify this finding...

..It is caused by various mutations in the TTR gene leading to the formation of insoluble amyloid...

..Mutations in SMN, MTM1 and the myotonic dystrophy genes were excluded. We suggest this is a new benign form of congenital myopathy. Inheritance is probably autosomal recessive...

..We sought to characterize the electrographic features and clinical correlates of occipital intermittent rhythmic delta activity...

..The aim of the study was to analyze the tolerability and efficacy of lamotrigine (LTG) versus sustained-release carbamazepine (CBZ) treatment in newly diagnosed symptomatic poststroke seizure...

..Pathological laughter can herald midbrain infarction or follow stroke either shortly after onset of symptoms or as a delayed phenomenon. Furthermore, small unilateral midbrain infarctions can cause this rare complication...
