Microalbuminuria and cardiovascular risk [PDF]

QJM, 1998
The term 'microalbuminuria' has been introduced to describe a measurable increase in urine albumin excretion, which is still within normal total urine protein excretion levels. Many data suggest that microalbuminuria is of value as an index of vascular damage, especially in hypertension and diabetes, and there is increasing information on its ...

Super‐Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE) in a Patient With Compound Heterozygous OPA1 Variants: Case Report and Literature Review

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Super‐Refractory Status Epilepticus (SRSE) is a rare, life‐threatening neurological emergency with unclear etiology in many cases. Mitochondrial dysfunction, often due to disease‐causing genetic variants, is increasingly recognized as a cause, with each gene producing distinct pathophysiological mechanisms.
