Abstract:
:We report the clinical, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging findings of two patients of diffuse encephalopathy associated with the use of metronidazole. Both patients showed characteristic abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and recovered incompletely after the discontinuation of metronidazole. We also suggest that MRI with DWI may be useful in the diagnosis of metronidazole-induced encephalopathy, and that they have a role in the prediction of prognosis.

杂志文章abstract::Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal X-linked recessive disorder of muscle in children. The DMD gene product, "dystrophin", is absent from DMD, while the allelic disease, Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), exhibits dystrophin of abnormal size and/or quantity. But we are still uncertain about the scenario that in...
