Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Background And Purpose: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a serious autonomic complication of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). However, the association between TCM and GBS has not been investigated in detail. We investigated the characteristics of GBS patients with TCM (GBS-TCM).

Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study of mogamulizumab with open-label extension study in a minimum number of patients with human T-cell leukemia virus type-1-associated myelopathy.

Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. This multicenter, randomized phase 3 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of 0.3 mg/kg intravenous mogamulizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting-CC chemokine receptor 4, every 12 weeks in HAM/TSP patients.

Evaluation of the association between osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and psoas major/paraspinal muscle mass and ADC measured on MRI.

Objective: Evaluate magnetic resonance imaging factors associated with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 457 patients' records. Age, sex, and body mass index were recorded.

Microbleed clustering in thalamus sign in CADASIL patients with R75P mutation.

Background And Objective: Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an inherited cerebral microvascular disease characterized by the development of vascular dementia and lacunar infarctions. This study aimed to identify the genetic and clinical features of CADASIL in Japan.

Methods: We conducted genetic analysis on a case series of patients clinically diagnosed with CADASIL.
