Degos disease is a rare disorder characterized by systemic vasculitis involving various organs. There is no established, effective treatment for the disorder, and its prognosis is still poor. Combination therapy with corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide is considered effective for vasculitides involving the small arteries such as ANCA-associated vasculitis. We present here a 42-year-old man who developed Degos disease over several months, and was successfully treated using combined treatment with corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide.

I-FP-CIT SPECT enables the detection of presynaptic dopaminergic denervation. It allows to differentiate degenerative parkinsonian syndromes from secondary parkinsonian syndromes or essential tremor, and patients with suspected dementia with Lewy bodies from those with other dementia subtypes. The aim of our study was to evaluate the appropriateness of I-FP-CIT SPECT prescriptions, identify prescriber profiles and analyze changes in prescriptions over a decade in the Neurology department of Avicenne University hospital.

Article Synopsis
- Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common in multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients, and the research evaluated the immediate effects and safety of CPAP therapy for treating SDB.
- In a study of 63 MSA patients, CPAP therapy showed significant improvements such as normalization of apnea-hypopnea index, reduced arousal index, and increased REM sleep, with most patients tolerating the treatment well.
- Nonresponders to CPAP therapy tended to have more severe motor symptoms, indicating that the therapy is effective primarily in milder cases of motor impairment in MSA patients.
