Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis after Receiving the Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine: A Case Report of a 15-year-old Girl.

We herein report a 15-year-old girl who developed rapid progressive muscle weakness soon after the third injection of a bivalent human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine. Although immunotherapies were performed for possible vaccine-related disorders, she died of respiratory failure 14 months after the onset of the disease. A genetic analysis identified a heterozygous p.

[Supervised administration of Alzheimer's patients using information communication technology].

Drug adherence is central to the treatment of dementia, which might reduce compliance due to memory loss, particularly among home-based patients with dementia. In order to improve drug adherence, we suggest the efficient and effective supervised administration by use of information communication technology(ICT). ICT makes face-to-face real-time communication possible, and it also enables picture sharing.

[Support for the medication monitoring of patients with alzheimer's dementia by the interactive care system using IT].

In our laboratory, we draw up research aims to improve medication compliance in patients with dementia by video phone, and we have intervened in the cases of 3 patients to date. In this study, we focused on patients who are using a rivastigmine patch for Alzheimer' disease, which can be confirmed by video phone, to examine its efficacy. Specifically, by monitoring the effects of the treatment, skin side effects, of skin and usability for patients and caregivers, we monitor the dosing schedule to prevent interruption of self-medication, with the aim of improving compliance and treatment efficacy.

Proteome analysis of brain proteins in Alzheimer's disease: subproteomics following sequentially extracted protein preparation.

Quantitative proteome analysis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains was performed using two-dimensional (2-D) gels in order to find out the pathological protein expression in AD. We sequentially extracted brain proteins using two distinct sample solutions, yielding different protein fractions (fraction A and B). These fractions showed distinct 2-DE patterns with high resolution and excellent reproducibility.
