Elevated basic fibroblast growth factor in the serum of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

abstract：:Infantile spasms are generalized seizures specific to early infancy, and are believed to result from complex cortical-subcortical interactions during a critical period of development. We used positron emission tomography (PET) to determine local cerebral metabolic rates for glucose (1CMRG1c) in 44 infants with spasms,...
