malfunction, or destruction of brain cells or brain tissue. A lesion may be localized to one part of the brain, or it may be widespread. The initial damage may be so small as to not produce any initial symptoms but progresses
Laryngitis heals faster and at times it heals on its own. However, if the symptoms or the irritation is past two weeks, you should consider seeking medical advice. For a child case, a parent should seek medical assistance immediately after the child starts experiencing difficulties in breathing....

Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (amyloidosis). Fever (infections). What does it mean if my IgG is high? High levels of IgG may meana long-term (chronic) infection, such as HIV, is present. Levels of IgG also get higher in IgG multiple myeloma, long-term hepatitis, and multiple scler...
How- ever, the robustness of the measured Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio in blood plasma is only 0.9-fold times lower in patients with brain amyloidosis compared to controls and therefore the challenge with implementing blood-based Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio for screening purposes is the smaller effect size when...
It can produce symptoms such as seizures and stroke(Ali et al,2009). Cysts in the kidney can cause hematuria or flank pain, immune complex-mediated disease, glomerulonephritis leading to the nephrotic syndrome, and secondary amyloidosis (Gogus et al,2003; Gelman et al,2000) (Figure 2). Fig...
Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis, characterized by peripheral neuropathy (ATTRv-PN), is a sensorimotor and autonomic polyneuropathy inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, with over 130 pathogenic variants found in the TTR gene. Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis, characterized by peripheral ...
The amyloid plaques themselves can form many years before the clinical manifestation of the symptoms of dementia. However, in recent years, new theories have emerged posing Aβ on the crossroad [43]. Indeed, in some patients, the presence of Aβ in AD brain does not necessarily mean dementia...
