Transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy after domino liver transplantation: Results of a cross-sectional study.

Domino liver transplantation (DLT) has been used widely in patients with hereditary amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis. New-onset polyneuropathy in recipients of DLT has been reported, but there are few cases of cardiac involvement reported. We aimed to perform a cross-sectional study for ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) in DLT recipients.

[Usefulness of brain SPECT with HMPAO-99mTc and psychological tests for diagnosis of neurological involvement in Behçet's disease].

Background: The purpose of this study was to establish the usefulness of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and psychological tests for diagnostic of neuro-Behçet (NB) and to evaluate the clinical significance of neurological symptoms that are difficult to interpret and asymptomatic abnormalities in diagnostic tests.

Patients And Method: Forty patients with Behçet's disease (BD) were enrrolled for being studied with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), SPECT and psychological tests.

Results: MRI findings were abnormal in 52,9% of patients with neurological involvement and 23.
