..Primary heart tumors are rare and most of them are benign. The majority of benign cardiac tumors are myxomas, although almost all malignant cardiac tumors are sarcomas. Malignant cardiac tumors usually appear in children...

..They may arise from mutations of the mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA in the genes that code for the subunits of the respiratory chain. The results obtained from using different drugs to treat these diseases vary widely...

..We report a novel mutation in exon 8 of the presenilin 1 (PSEN1) gene (V261L) associated with early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease and spastic paraparesis...

..Some studies have shown a strong epidemiological association between the ingestion of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) during the viral infection and development of Reye's syndrome...

..It usually has an autoimmune basis, in which the blood contains antiglutamate decarboxylase antibodies, and is associated with different types of autoimmune diseases. The electromyogram provides evidences of continuous muscular activity...

..A genetic study for SCA type 2 must therefore be conducted in patients with a degenerative ataxic clinical picture and who present evidence of pigmentary retinitis...

..Vertical gaze paresis tended to improve and never seriously disturbed the patient's activities. We believe that these kinds of strokes have been commonly overlooked, especially without widespread use of MRI...

..Corticoids are the preferred treatment, since their use gives rise to the disappearance of the clinical condition in a few days...

..It is usually noticed within the first few days of life because of the umbilical cord bleeding. Intracerebral hematoma is infrequent...

..The ideal treatment is unknown, but most cases usually respond well to therapy with corticoids...

..The different conditions in this group of diseases overlap clinically, enzymatically and genetically. There is no effective treatment. Ptosis improves with corrective surgery involving tarsorrhaphy as a palliative measure...

..Given the growing interest in CVR in vascular pathology of the brain, we have calculated the normal values for the breath-holding test in our area...
