(2000)The worldwide geographic and ethnic clustering of patients with diseases related to human T cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) may be explained by the natural history of HTLV-1 infection. The genetic characteristics ...
-
(2013)The etiology of brain abscesses is mostly polymicrobial. Streptococci and anaerobic bacteria are the most commonly isolated pathogens. We report a previously healthy female without predisposing factors, presenting with a ...
-
(BMJ Publishing Group, 1995)A prospective study was carried out on 48 patients with HTLV I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) to assess the association between this entity and Sjogren's syndrome. Fourteen patients (29.1%) ...
-
(2012)Magnetic Resonance Imaging has demonstrated functional changes of the cerebral cortex in relation to status epilepticus, which can eventually localize the origin of the crisis. The purpose of this presentation is relevant ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2010)Introducción: La encefalopatía espongiforme subaguda fue identificada clínica e histopatológicamente por Creutzfeldt en 1920 y Jakob en 1923. En 1966 Gajdusek y luego Gibbs en 1968 demostraron la transmisión experimental. ...
-
(2003)Infection with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) have been associated with the development of the tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-I-associated myelopathy (TSP/HAM). We studied the presence of HTLV-I provirus ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2016)Introducción: El Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) es el tumor primario más frecuente y maligno del SNC. Al tratamiento quirúrgico se agrega la quimioterapia con Temozolamida y el grado de beneficio que se obtiene con la ...

-
(1991)The electrophysiological features of progressive spastic paraparesis (PSP) associated with HTLV‐1 in Chile, a non‐tropical country, are presented. Twenty‐two of 45 PSP subjects were positive for HTLV‐1 antibodies. Trimodal ...
-
(Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2018)Background: Patients with Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) have a five years survival of less than 5%, but the response to chemotherapy with alkylating agents can vary depending on the methylation status of O-6-methylguanin ...
-
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS AS, 2004-04)The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is in direct contact with the extracellular space of the CNS, thus biochemical processes in the CNS could potentially be reflected in the CSF. Changes in extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins ...
-
(2006)Background: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a form of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, in which a prion protein (PrPSc) accumulates in the brain of affected individuals. Chile has a prevalence of CJD that is ...
-
(P J D PUBLICATIONS LTD, 1999)We have studied the enzymatic gelatinolytic activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) present in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of samples obtained from 67 individuals, twenty-one nonneurological patients (considered controls) ...
-
(2002)Infection with Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus type I (HTLV-I) have been associated with the development of the HTLV-I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Phylogenetic analyses of HTLV-I isolates ...
-
(1992)HTLV-I has been revealed as the etiological factor of the Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (TSP) and of the T-cell leukemia-lymphoma of the adult (ATLL). Recently, it has also been associated to some forms of polymyositis, ...
-
(1990)We screened 140 patients with different neurological diseases for the presence of anti HTLV-1 virus antibodies. ELISA test confirmed with Western Blot analysis was performed in CSF and blood. Positive findings were obtained ...
-
(2004)HTLV-1 is the causative agent of HAM/TSP. This neurological disease affects the CNS producing damage of the motor tracts at the spinal cord. The HAM/TSP pathogenesis remains undefined. It could include direct and indirect ...
-
(2010)HTLV-1 Tax expression exerts an inhibitory effect on the Foxp3 transcription factor in CD4 +CD25 + T-regulatory cells (Treg). For a better understanding of the role of Tax mRNA in the gene expression of cellular markers ...
