Abstract
Dysferlin protein is expressed in peripheral blood monocytes. The genomic analysis of the DYSF gene has proved to be time consuming because it has 55 exons. We designed a mutational screening strategy based on cDNA from monocytes to find out whether the mutational analysis could be performed in mRNA from a source less invasive than the muscle biopsy. We studied 34 patients from 23 families diagnosed with dysferlinopathy. The diagnosis was based on clinical findings and on the absence of protein expression using either immunohistochemistry or Western blot of skeletal muscle and/or monocytes. We identified 28 different mutations, 13 of which were novel. The DYSF mutations in both alleles were found in 30 patients and only in one allele in four. The results were confirmed using genomic DNA in 26/34 patients. This is the first report to furnish evidence of reliable mutational analysis using monocytes cDNA and constitutes a good alternative to genomic DNA analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/METHODS We compared the diagnostic yield of a real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples with conventional microbiological techniques for the diagnosis of neurobrucellosis. Following amplification of a 223 bp sequence specific for Brucella genus, melting curve analysis was performed to verify the specificity of the PCR products. RESULTS All six patients with neurobrucellosis (three meningitis and three meningoencephalitis) had a positive real time PCR assay, whereas CSF cultures and Wright seroagglutination tests were positive in only two and four cases, respectively. Brucella specific amplicons were easily demonstrated by their characteristic melting temperature in all the real time PCR assays. CONCLUSION LightCycler based real time PCR assay in CSF samples is more rapid and sensitive than conventional microbiological tests. This technique could be useful for the rapid diagnosis of neurobrucellosis.

Abstract
Testosterone has been available to practitioners for several decades. However, testosterone prescriptions have increased in recent years partly because of the introduction of newer delivery systems that are topical and have good bioavailability. In the US alone, approximately 2 million prescriptions for testosterone were written in 2002. This represents a 30% increase from 2001 and a 170% increase from 1999. There has also been a 500% increase in prescription sales in the past 10 years. The rise in prescriptions may be in part due to the increasing recognition of hypogonadism in ageing males or andropause. Treatment relating to hypogonadism has relieved symptoms and improved the quality of life of many individuals. Epidemiological studies point toward an association with increased morbidity and mortality, with low testosterone states in ageing males. For example, there is a higher prevalence of depression, coronary heart disease, osteoporosis, fracture rates, frailty and even dementia with low testosterone states. Recently, there have been some concerns raised regarding the long-term safety of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) from the Institute of Medicine. Current evidence suggests no causal relationship between prostate cancer and physiological dosing of testosterone, especially with careful selection and monitoring of patients. Cardiovascular risks have, overall, been neutral, although suggestions have been made that there are positive vasodilatory properties with testosterone. Mild eythrocytosis can be a common side effect of TRT, but thromboembolic events have rarely been reported in the literature. This paper addresses the evidence to date regarding the safety aspects of TRT. The medical-legal implications of TRT for men at this point in time is also discussed.

Abstract
Multiple symmetric lipomatosis (MSL) has been related in some cases to the 8344 point mutation of the tRNA-lysine gene of the mitochondrial DNA, mainly in the context of families with classic myoclonic epilepsy with ragged-red fibers (MERRF) and exceptionally in patients with proximal myopathy as the only manifestation of mitochondrial disease. We report on two families harboring the 8344 mutation. The patients presented with MSL and myopathy, expressed as limb girdle weakness in index cases and as exercise intolerance in the others. All muscle biopsies performed showed lipid storage apart from RRF and respiratory chain complexes deficiency. A possible explanation for both adipose proliferation and lipid storage myopathy in these cases is a disturbance in intermediary lipid metabolism secondary to mitochondrial respiratory chain deficiency that could be related via carnitine deficiency.

Abstract
We report a new case of short-lasting, unilateral, neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT). This rare headache, described in 1978, shares clinical traits with trigeminal neuralgia and cluster headache and its diagnostic classification as a unilateral headache with autonomic involvement has been the subject of considerable debate. The etiology of SUNCT is unknown, although it is considered a highly difficult pain to treat. We discuss our patient's symptoms and response to treatment with carbamazepine.

Abstract
The Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS), which was described many years ago, is a process of unknown etiology which evolves with invalidating lesions in one half of the face to which different neurologic, cutaneous or analytical abnormalities may be associated. A clinical, analytical and radiologic study of 5 patients in whom intracranial lesions were shown are herein presented. These findings, together with alterations in the cutaneous biopsies reported in the literature lead to the hypothesis that PRS may be due to a neurovascular alteration of immunologic basis, indicating antiinflammatory or immunosuppressive treatment.

Abstract
The initial purpose of this research was to investigate the use of electrical conductivity for detecting holes in latex gloves, while they are being worn, using both recently developed devices and laboratory equipment. The individual devices were not evaluated or critically compared. The use of this technique as a quality assurance procedure, and to determine the degradation of latex gloves due to storage and exposure to disinfectants, was also investigated. The following conclusions were reached: (1) These devices alarm if the latex is breached by an object of at least 300 um-diameter and both the inside and outside of the glove are wet with a conductive fluid. False alarms from latex hydration is the primary disadvantage. (2) This technique is a sensitive QA procedure if any hole to be detected is wet with a conductive liquid. (3) Sealed, sterile latex gloves may degrade over many months. (4) There was no obvious degradation of latex gloves after two hours' exposure to three commonly used disinfectants.

Abstract
Four adults with proximal myopathy of mitochondrial origin but no ocular involvement are presented. Biochemical analysis showed combined complex III and IV deficits in the respiratory chain in all cases, suggesting an apparent correlation between clinical phenotype and biochemical findings. Mitochondrial DNA analysis of muscle from 1 patient failed to detect either large-scale deletion or point mutations at position 3243 of tRNA(Leu(UUR)) or at 8344 of tRNA(Lys). The tissue specificity of the disease and the absence of family history suggest that a mutation in a nuclear DNA gene encoding a specific subunit of muscle could underlie this disease.

Abstract
Fat embolism is a frequent complication of long bone trauma. Although neurological signs are key elements in the diagnosis of this syndrome, little attention to them has been paid in the spanish literature. We present a retrospective study of 13 patients with fat embolism syndrome in which we focused on neurological manifestations and alterations in computerized tomography (CT) of the head. The most frequent symptom was impairment of consciousness of varying degrees. Three patients out of the 13 also presented focal signs (hemiparesis and partial seizures). CT revealed edema (4/7) and multiple low density foci (1/7). All but one patient recovered without sequelae. Our study does not allow us to establish either the physiopathology of fat embolism syndrome or the most effective treatment.

Abstract
We present five patients with distal weakness in the lower extremities with onset in adolescence. Paresis tended to occur in the gastrocnemia in 3 patients and was accompanied by marked elevation of CPK (> 10 times higher than normal). Muscle biopsies showed signs of dystrophy. The clinical picture for these patients was consistent with the diagnosis of recessive distal myopathy (Miyoshi's form). The differential sign in the other 2 cases was greater involvement of the anteroexternal leg muscles and the presence of rimmed vacuoles similar to those characteristic of Nonaka's vacuolar distal myopathy.

Abstract
Internal carotid artery dissection at the cervical level is a known cause of stroke in young patients. The usual clinical presentation is strong ipsilateral cephalea and oculosympathetic paresis or ischemic symptoms in the affected artery. Paresis of the lower cranial nerves due to local compression in the space behind the parotid is rarely found and may complicate the diagnosis by leading physicians to look for anomalies in the vertebro-basilar territory. We present a patient with internal carotid artery dissection at the cervical level diagnosed by angiography. Symptoms at presentation were hemicranial cephalea accompanied by Villaret's syndrome. We point out the importance of keeping this diagnostic possibility in mind when looking for the etiology of subacute paresis of the lower cranial nerves.
