Treatment risk, particularly surgical risk, is defined by a variety of grading systems, the most popular of […]
Factors Influencing Recovery
Extent of tissue damage [15]. Severity of the initial neurological deficit [16]. Lesion type and size, where focal lesions have better prospects of recovery [4,19]. Location of lesion. Cortical lesions have a better tendency to recover as opposed to subcortical lesions. Lesions of the dominant hemisphere herald a poorer prognosis than non-dominant hemisphere […]

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy, Candidiasis, and Ectodermal Dystrophy Syndrome
Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy, Candidiasis, and Ectodermal Dystrophy Syndrome APECED is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, also known as autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS) type I. The incidence is high in certain isolated populations, for example, Finns, Iranian Jews, and Sardinians. Most patients with APECED present with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis and endocrinopathies predominantly […]
Autosomal Recessive Hyper-IgM with CD40 Mutations
Autosomal Recessive Hyper-IgM with CD40 Mutations A few unrelated families with autosomal recessive hyperimmunoglobulin M caused by mutations of CD40 have been reported. Affected members have similar clinical and laboratory findings as those with CD40L mutations. Treatment and prognosis of CD40 deficiency is similar to XHIGM.
