Conservatively managed extradural haematoma in a child with progeria
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by premature ageing. We report a case of a 13-year-old girl with HGPS who presented with an extradural haematoma following head injury.

Generating health technology assessment evidence for rare diseases [PDF]
Objectives: Rare diseases are often heterogeneous in their progression and response to treatment, with only a small population for study. This provides challenges for evidence generation to support HTA, so novel research methods are required.

Paediatric Hypotrichosis: A Clinical and Algorithmic Approach to Diagnosis
ABSTRACT Paediatric hypotrichosis is the clinical feature of paucity of hair arising congenitally or in early life with the presentation being that of the child whose hair is growing insufficiently. It is a hallmark finding of a diverse group of genodermatoses and sporadic disorders, presenting as either an isolated symptom or in association with ...

Muscle-derived stem/progenitor cell dysfunction in Zmpste24-deficient progeroid mice limits muscle regeneration [PDF]
Introduction. Loss of adult stem cell function during aging contributes to impaired tissue regeneration. Here, we tested the aging-related decline in regeneration potential of adult stem cells residing in the skeletal muscle. Methods.

Ocular manifestations in the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome
The Hutchinson-Gilford progeria (HGP) syndrome is an extremely rare genetic condition characterized by an appearance of accelerated aging in children. The word progeria is derived from the Greek word progeros meaning ′prematurely old′. It is caused by de
