Body dysmorphic disorder is a body image dysperception, characterized either by an excessive preoccupation with a presumed or minimal flaw in appearance, or by unrecognition, denial, or even neglect ...regarding an obvious defect. These features are evaluated by a novel questionnaire, the Brief Assessment of Negative Dysmorphic Signs (BANDS). Moreover, the temperament and character background is examined. The relationship with addictive mentality/behavior and schizoaffectivity is also highlighted. Lastly, the potential shift toward cognitive impairment and dementia is considered.
Altered membrane permeability is a hallmark of inflammation and ischemia with systemic spreading. Renal dysfunction is a risk factor for cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and metabolic diseases. The ...aim of the present study was to assess proteinuria and urinary polyclonal light chains in acute stroke and chronic cerebrovascular disease compared with other neurologic diseases. Our results showed significantly increased levels of urinary polyclonal light chains in cerebrovascular disease compared with other neurologic diseases. The highest values of urinary polyclonal κ chains were found in acute stroke compared with chronic cerebrovascular disease and other neurologic diseases, while the level of λ chains was mainly increased in chronic cerebrovascular diseases. The shift to chronic renal failure seems to be signaled by a decreased polyclonal light chain/creatinemia ratio. The absence of a significant correlation with blood pressure and other seric parameters suggests that polyclonal light chains are an early marker of reversible vascular impairment with renal dysfunction before progression to irreversible renal failure and need for dialysis and/or intensive care.

We report the case of a 48-year-old female patient with stroke family history that was admitted in our ward with suspected ischemic stroke diagnosis. The diagnostic process is described in detail, ...paying attention in particular to anamnestic data and to genetic polymorphisms related to higher risk for inherited thrombophilia. At the end, the diagnosis indicates red infarct in a migraine patient with cerebrovascular and cardiovascular risk factors of undetermined aetiology according to TOAST criteria. Some of the known thrombophilic polymorphisms were found in the patient: however not all the mentioned thrombophilic markers are universally recognized as predisposing factors for arterial ischemic stroke.
