A novel mutation in LRSAM1 causes axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with dominant inheritance.

Engeholm M1, Sekler J, Schöndorf DC, Arora V, Schittenhelm J, Biskup S, Schell C, Gasser T.
BMC neurology.BMC Neurol.2014 Jun 3;14:118. doi: 10.1186/1471-2377-14-118.
BACKGROUND: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) refers to a heterogeneous group of genetic motor and sensory neuropathies. According to the primary site of damage, a distinction is made between demyelinating and axonal forms (CMT1 and 2, respectively, when inherited as an autosomal dominant trait). Le

Adenosine A2A receptors activation facilitates neuromuscular transmission in the pre-symptomatic phase of the SOD1(G93A) ALS mice, but not in the symptomatic phase.

Nascimento F1, Pousinha PA1, Correia AM2, Gomes R3, Sebastião AM1, Ribeiro JA1.
PloS one.PLoS One.2014 Aug 5;9(8):e104081. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0104081. eCollection 2014.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease leading to motor neuron dysfunction resulting in impairment of neuromuscular transmission. A2A adenosine receptors have already been considered as a potential therapeutical target for ALS but their neuromodulatory role at the neuromu

[A case of a postmedian sternotomy C8 plexopathy localized with electrodiagnostic tests].

Higashihara M1, Sonoo M, Hashida H, Unno S, Takeda K.
Rinshō shinkeigaku = Clinical neurology.Rinsho Shinkeigaku.2007 Apr;47(4):160-4.
A postmedian sternotomy plexopathy is a C8 plexopathy following an operation that requires a median sternotomy, in which the C8 anterior primary ramus is injured. Since the clinical picture of a C8 plexopathy is quite similar to an ulnar neuropathy, electrodiagnostic tests are crucial for localizing

1unitの量が国によって違う。純エタノール換算で、1英unitは8g=10ml（英糖尿病協会採用の数値）、1米unitは15g（20ml弱：1drinkとも）で、日本では10～14g程度（代謝熱量80Kcalが基準：食品成分表5訂版,2002）や20ないし23g（日本酒1合分）を1unitとしている。日本の医学界では1unit=20g（体積に換算すると25ml）を採用することが多いので、ここでもそれに従う。この基準（1unit=20g=25ml）で計算すると、40度のウィスキー1ショット（＝1オンス：英液量オンスで28.41ml、米液量オンスで29.57ml、日本の1ショットで30ml）が約0.5unitとなる。5度のビールなら500mlでだいたい1unit（この、日本酒1合≒ウィスキーダブル≒ビール500cc≒1unitという関係は、覚えておくと便利かもしれない：ワインなどは日本酒に準じるので、1本750mlがだいたい4unit強である）。 (参考1.より引用)
