Neonatal rhabdomyolysis as a presentation of muscular dystrophy.

We report a unique presentation of X-linked recessive dystrophy as neonatal rhabdomyolysis. There was induration of the proximal musculature in an otherwise well neonate and striking CK elevation, without myoglobinuria. Muscle biopsy at age 1 year showed dystrophic alterations, and X chromosome analysis showed a deletion within or adjacent to the Duchenne/Becker locus.

[Breast cancer today].

Authors, after a short dissertation about evolution, trough out the years, of the diagnosis and the therapy of the mammary carcinoma, specify the leading role of primary prevention. Self palpation and the mammography reduce of about 30% the mortality. Modern pharmacology and radiotherapy allow a surgical preservative approach, produce better esthetic and functional results. Preservative therapy (QUART) also warrants a good quality of life, and allows the excellent control of primary disease.
