• Subcutaneous Mass

  Subsequent histologic study of mediastinal and subcutaneous masses established the diagnosis of multicentric infantile myofibromatosis. The patient died at 16 wk of age with tumor nodules in several visceral and parietal structures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Dystonia

  The proband, aged 38, had slowly progressive extrapyramidal signs with prominent dystonia, starting at about age 19. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Dysarthria

  The patient was a 22-year-old female who exhibited dysarthria, gait disturbance, and generalized dystonia with rigidity. Beta-galactosidase activity in leukocytes was absent and sialidase activity in cultured fibroblasts was normal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Loss of Gait

  A 21-month-old boy with a family history of parental consanguinity and two siblings having died of a progressive neurological disorder was investigated for a neurometabolic disease because of recent loss of gait and lack of intellectual progress. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Tantrums

  Both patients had a history of behavioral problems marked by frequent temper tantrums. Both had nondiagnostic magnetic resonance imaging of the head and metabolic work-ups. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Encephalopathy

  This case, showing features of both mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy and mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), indicates that routine intestinal biopsy can detect mitochondrial [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We recommend a barium enema as a routine initial workup in the management of patients of suspected Hirschsprung’s disease. [scopemed.org]

This case specifically demonstrates the utility of a full thickness rectal biopsy to provide the diagnosis when extensive diagnostic workup and therapeutic trials had failed. [ghrnet.org]

• Cerebrospinal Fluid Abnormality

  The ultrastructure of rectal biopsy specimens from a 60-year-old woman of unusual familial ataxia with cerebrospinal fluid abnormality was investigated. She had two male siblings similarly affected and a close consanguinity in the family. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Visceromegaly

  Abstract Type III GM1-gangliosidosis is a rare hereditary storage disease caused by lack of lysosomal beta-galactosidase and characterized by a slowly progressive course, and extrapyramidal signs, but without prominent skeletal changes or visceromegaly [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In conclusion, computerised morphometry is valuable for the assessment of the treatment of patients with ulcerative colitis and that in the doses used both treatments were of similar efficacy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Do not perform manual evacuation of the bowel under anaesthesia unless optimum treatment with oral and rectal medications has failed. Do not use dietary interventions alone as first-line treatment for idiopathic constipation. [nice.org.uk]

The ability of a microbicide treatment to suppress p24 in the ex-vivo assay is an indication of treatment efficacy, where lower concentrations of p24 indicate virus suppression. [journals.plos.org]

We identified two patients: an 11-year-old boy (P1) with new-onset bulbar weakness and parkinsonism and a 15-year-old boy (P2) with severe cognitive and motor deterioration of uncertain etiology who presented at 4 years of age with a gait disturbance [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

While the etiology remains controversial, it is thought to be associated with stasis caused by the functional obstruction, resulting in bacterial overgrowth with secondary infection. [sages.org]
