Book ChapterDOI
Senile systemic amyloidosis.
TL;DR: It is shown in this paper by immunohistochemical study using a specific anti-protein ASc1 antiserum that this type of amyloidosis, previously called senile cardiac amyloidsosis, is a systemic disease withAmyloid deposits in many organs.
Journal Article
Amyloid of the seminal vesicles. A distinctive and common localized form of senile amyloidosis.
TL;DR: This senile seminal vesicle amyloidosis (SSVA) is a localized disorder, and theAmyloid substance has unique histochemical and immunochemical properties not shared with any other amyloids described until now.
Journal Article
Serum prealbumin and retinol-binding protein in the prealbumin-related senile and familial forms of systemic amyloidosis.
TL;DR: In a series of 13 elderly patients with proven prealbumin-related senile systemic amyloidosis (SSA), depressed serum pre Albumin values were found as compared to an age-matched control group, and there was a significant correlation between serum pre albumin and serum retinol-binding proteins in both groups of patients.
Journal Article
Senile aortic amyloid. A third distinctive type of age-related cardiovascular amyloid.
TL;DR: Results indicate that senile aortic amyloid is distinct fromAmyloid present in primary and secondary amyloidalosis and appears to represent a third form of cardiovascular amyloids associated with the aging process.
