A 79-year-old man presented with a large tumor on the left side of his head, which had grown over 5 years. Regional lymph nodes were impalpable and computed tomography revealed no signs of bone infiltration. Histology showed that the...

Amyloid and the cardiovascular system: A review of pathogenesis and pathology with clinical correlations.

Cardiovasc Pathol. 1995 Apr-Jun;4(2):79-102. doi: 10.1016/1054-8807(95)90411-l.

The process of amyloidogenesis may complicate diverse disease states. It may be systemic and have serious clinical sequelae; in other circumstances, it is a localized phenomenon and functionally insignificant. In many cases its manifestations may be predictable, with knowledge...

Serum Free Light Chains in Neoplastic Monoclonal Gammopathies: Relative Under-Detection of Lambda Dominant Kappa/Lambda Ratio, and Underproduction of Free Lambda Light Chains, as Compared to Kappa Light Chains, in Patients With Neoplastic Monoclonal Gammopathies.

Journal of clinical medicine research

J Clin Med Res. 2018 Jul;10(7):562-569. doi: 10.14740/jocmr3383w. Epub 2018 Jun 04.

BACKGROUND: Quantitative evaluation of serum free light chains is recommended for the work up of monoclonal gammopathies. Immunoglobulin light chains are generally produced in excess of heavy chains. In patients with monoclonal gammopathy, κ/λ ratio is abnormal less frequently...

Methods to study the structure of misfolded protein states in systemic amyloidosis.

Biochemical Society transactions

Fändrich M, Schmidt M.
PMID: 33929491
Biochem Soc Trans. 2021 Apr 30;49(2):977-985. doi: 10.1042/BST20201022.

Systemic amyloidosis is defined as a protein misfolding disease in which the amyloid is not necessarily deposited within the same organ that produces the fibril precursor protein. There are different types of systemic amyloidosis, depending on the protein constructing...

Phase 1a/b study of monoclonal antibody CAEL-101 (11-1F4) in patients with AL amyloidosis.

Blood

Blood. 2021 Dec 23;138(25):2632-2641. doi: 10.1182/blood.2020009039.

Systemic immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis is characterized by pathologic deposition of immunoglobulin light chains as amyloid fibrils in vital organs, leading to organ impairment and eventual death. That the process is reversible was evidenced in an in vivo experimental model...

Urinary biopyrrins and free immunoglobin light chains are biomarker candidates for screening at-risk mental state in adolescents.

Early intervention in psychiatry

PMID: 33966347
Early Interv Psychiatry. 2021 May 09; doi: 10.1111/eip.13154. Epub 2021 May 09.

BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis of individuals' at-risk mental state (ARMS) is important for preventing their pathogenesis or, at least, delaying onset of overt psychosis. Traditional diagnosis of ARMS subjects is mainly based on structured interviews, but future diagnosis would be...

Diagnosing cardiac amyloidosis in every-day practice: A practical guide for the cardiologist.

International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature

Papathanasiou M, Carpinteiro A, Rischpler C, Hagenacker T, Rassaf T, Luedike P.
PMID: 32373710

Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) has emerged as a previously underestimated cause of heart failure and mortality. Underdiagnosis resulted mainly from unawareness of the true disease prevalence and the non-specific symptoms of the disease. CA results from extracellular deposition of misfolded...

Successful Pregnancy and Persistent Polyclonal B Cell Lymphocytosis (PPBL): A Case Study of a Rare Co-Existence.

The American journal of case reports

Systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a protein misfolding disorder characterized by the deposition of abnormal immunoglobulin light chains in fibrillary aggregates, resulting in end-organ damage. Several unique challenges face treating physicians, including delayed diagnosis, advanced vital organ involvement,...
