Intracutaneous Amyloid Deposition is Associated With Nerve Conduction Studies Deterioration in Presumed Asymptomatic Pathogenic Variant TTR Carriers. [PDF]
Eur J NeurolABSTRACT Background Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv amyloidosis) is an autosomal dominant systemic disease, with an overall poor prognosis. Markers of disease onset are urgently required to optimize the timing of treatment initiation. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) are an objective, reproducible, and non‐invasive tool for following large ...

Chiang Mai University Journal of Natural Sciences, 2022 Abstract Staphylococcus epidermidis has gained a substantial importance in recent years because it is one of the main causative agents of nosocomial infections. It requires a predisposed host in order to switch from a normal inhabitant of the human skin to a pathogenic flora.
