TL;DR: Liver transplantation is recommended in FAP patients at onset of first symptoms and exclusion of those with a Norris score below 55 and/or with urinary incontinence, as well as in patients with the Met30 TTR gene mutation, who have been followed for more than 2 years after liver transplantation.

TL;DR: The presence of chorea, sensorimotor neuropathy, oculomotor anomalies, biological abnormalities, cerebellar atrophy on MRI and absence of the Babinski sign can help to distinguish AOA1 from Friedreich's ataxia on a clinical basis.

TL;DR: Among the patients treated about two thirds who had an initial good response to IVIg had high or significant antiganglioside GM1 (anti-GM1) antibody titres, but there was no correlation between the high titres before treatment and long lasting response toIVIg treatment.

TL;DR: The wide range of clinical manifestations of sarcoid neuropathy and the frequent association of granulomatous inflammatory infiltrates with necrotizing vasculitis and with silent or symptomatic involvement of other organs are illustrated.

TL;DR: It is concluded that MDN is related to pre-capillary blood vessel involvement in elderly diabetic patients with a secondary inflammatory response.
