African, Native American and European mitochondrials DNAs in Cubans from the Pinar del Rio Province and implications for the recent epidemic neuropathy in Cuba

, 1995
Genetic predisposition, particularly specific mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) backgrounds, has been proposed as a contributing factor in the expression of an epidemic of bilateral optic neuropathy that has affected residents of Cuba since 1991. To substantiate

Recommendations for the use of cardiovascular tests in diagnosing diabetic autonomic neuropathy.

, 2011
Despite its prevalence, clinical and prognostic impact, diabetic autonomic neuropathy, is widely under-diagnosed. The need for training and expertise to perform the cardiovascular tests (usually the task of diabetologists) is one possible reason.
