Fahr's syndrome: local inflammatory factors in the pathogenesis of calcification.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The association between anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and thrombosis is well recognized, but its role as an independent risk factor for stroke is not. The study's aim was to investigate the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and ischemic vascular events by using both traditional mea...
