Highlights
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a multisystem autosomal dominant disorder
Collectively, the significant increase in acellular capillaries and the trend towards a decrease in pericyte numbers suggests a possible link between TRPV2 downregulation and vascular pathology associated with diabetic retinopathy
The results demonstrate that most studies yielded positive outcomes that suggest the effectiveness of art therapy, this was with small sample sizes
Summary
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a multisystem autosomal dominant disorder. Gastrointestinal involvement is common with IBS-like symptoms often seen. Of patients initially presenting with stroke, 37.5% of the antiplatelet group progressed to full recovery compared to 100% of those on anticoagulation and 57.1 % on combined therapy (p=0.230). Conclusion: Our studies suggest that intracellular cytokine TNF- α production increase when stimulated with bacterial TLR ligands compare to baseline and patients infused with Infliximab have very low intracellular monocyte TNF- α which makes it a good target for treating patients with IBD. Conclusion: Vitrectomy rates were higher in the three years following the commencement of the DRS, the majority of which were for patients who had yet to engage with this service. It may be a number of years yet before increased screening uptake with DRS results in a reduction in vitrectomy rates. Conclusions: We recommend the incorporation of the Junior MARSIPAN guidelines into paediatric training programmes to potentially improve clinical diagnosis and management of underweight children
