Secondary Craniosynostosis and Elevated Intracranial Pressure with Functioning Shunt: An Imaging Report

Leave a Comment / Issue 5 Articles, Volume 5 /

1. Abstract A ten-year-old female pediatric patient with a history of congenital hydrocephalus and ventriculoperitoneal shunt was diagnosed with slit ventricle syndrome and severe craniosynostosis. After initial endoscopic third ventriculostomy failed, the patient underwent cranial expansion, multiple craniectomies, replacement of VP shunt and placement of an Intracranial Pressure (ICP) monitor and cranial vault reconstruction. Below […]

Hypophosphatasia: Another Possible Cause of Periarticular Swelling?

Leave a Comment / Issue 5 Articles, Volume 5 /

1. Introduction Hypophosphatasia is a rare genetic metabolic disease caused by mutations of the ALPL gene, which encodes the tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). The most important HPP’s biochemical marker are a low activity of the serum ALP, high urine PEA and serum pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) [1]. The HPP onset can occur at any age

Delayed Presentation of Ischemic Stroke After COVID-19 Pneumonitis. How Late Can It Present? – An Interesting Case Report and A Review of Current Evidence

Leave a Comment / Issue 5 Articles, Volume 5 /

1. Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has now become a major public health concern throughout the world. Although symptoms in majority of patients are due to involvement of respiratory system, it is not unusual for other organ systems to be involved too. Micro vascular and macro vascular complications associated with this disease, contributing to

Correlation of Preoperative Axillary Lymph Node Status to Final Histology After Axillary Surgery for Breast Cancer

Leave a Comment / Issue 4 Articles, Volume 5 /

1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: Axillary lymph node(ALN) status is an important prognostic factor for breast cancer. The high accuracy of axillary ultrasound(AUS) has led to several ongoing trials where sentinel lymph node biopsy(SLNB) omission is explored for negative AUS in early breast cancer. We aimed to correlate pre-operative ALN status with final histology. Specifically, we

Diffuse Osteolytic Metastases of Prostate Adenocarcinoma

Leave a Comment / Issue 5 Articles, Volume 5 /

1. Clinical Image A 52-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of low back pain. Computed tomography (CT) of thoracolumbar spine showed diffuse osteolytic bone metastases (Figure 1). Physical examination revealed a digital rectal exam compatible with frozen pelvis. His prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 4935 ng/ml. A prostate biopsy was done, and the subsequent histology

Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation of Critically Ill Patients in ICUs in Mainland China: A Cross-Sectional Study

Leave a Comment / Issue 4 Articles, Volume 5 /

1. Abstract Although noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) has been very common used for ICU patients, limited information exists about the epidemiological information of NIV in mainland China. This is a cross-sectional study in which patients with NIV were observed in September, 2012 from 15 ICUs. Epidemiological data and clinical outcomes were assessed among those who

The Neural Pleonastics- Neurofibroma

Leave a Comment / Issue 4 Articles, Volume 5 /

1. Preface Neurofibroma is a fairly prevalent, benign, peripheral nerve sheath tumour composed of Schwann cells, fibroblasts, perineurial cells and mast cells disseminated within a variably myxoid or collagenous stroma. Neuronal element of transformed Schwann cells is admixed with non- neoplastic, fibrous element constituted of fibroblasts. Neurofibroma is generally engendered by chromosomal mutations within the

Lactoferrin as Potential Treatment Oral Submucous Fibrosis: A Review Article

Leave a Comment / Issue 4 Articles, Volume 5 /

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic disease of oral mucosa characterized by inflammation and progressive fibrosis of lamina propria and deeper connective tissues, followed by stiffening of an otherwise yielding mucosa resulting in difficulty in opening the mouth. Etiology of OSMF was excessive use of areca nut and its flavored

The Role of MCU Expression Regulation in Pathogenesis

Leave a Comment / Issue 4 Articles, Volume 5 /

1. Abstract Mitochondrial calcium uniporter is an intensively investigated calcium channel, its molecule components, structure features and gene encoding have been explored for a long time. Through the researches, the further findings illustrate that mitochondrial calcium unidirectional transporter (MCU) is a macromolecular complex related to regulate the calcium of Intracellular and extracellular. Based? on our
