Gout and the risk of Alzheimer's disease: a population-based, BMI-matched cohort study.

abstract：:An 85 year old man with a longstanding history of non-tophaceous gout developed a single large tophus, unassociated with inflammation, on his paretic leg over a six week period following an acute hemiplegia. The rapidity of tophus formation, its localisation to the paretic limb, and the apparent blunting of the acute ...
