Cervical root syndrome et causa spondylosis cervical is a condition caused by degeneration of factors that occur in the discus intervertebral C1-C7, due to the emphasis on the spinal cord in the neck. Problems on cervical spondylosis is often the case, namely: pain, limitation of motion, muscle spasm, and decreased functional ability. To provide an effective and efficient treatment, then was e…
Pain can radiate in an imprecisely defi ned way into the back of the head, forehead, neck, shoulders and upper arms.
Persistent hypoglycemia is a serious condition that is frequently reported in patients undergoing sulfonylurea treatment, often necessitating hospitalization in the event of overdose. Somatostatin is a regulatory hormone with a broad range of physiological actions that include the inhibition of insulin and glucagon secretion, predominantly via activation of the somatostatin receptor subtypes …
We describe a type 2 diabetes patient with persistent hypoglycemia caused by sulfonylurea misuse on top of a DPP-4 inhibitor. Hyperinsulinemia was exaggerated by dextrose administration, but was successfully treated with octreotide. Since many patients are currently treated with DPP-4 inhibitors, the importance of octreotide has been increasing. For refractory sulfonylurea-induced hypoglyce…
Stroke is a rare but well-recognized complication of cardiac catheterization (CC).1-4 Prior series have included limited neuroimaging studies and often do not differentiate between stroke and other neurologic complications of CC such as TIA or migraine. We aim to better define the risk factors, clinical features, and radiologic pattern of these strokes.
Stroke is an important complication after cardiac catheterization procedures, resulting in death and disability for thousands of patients each year. Common risk factors include advanced age, vascular comorbidities, and more complicated and invasive procedures. Several lines of evidence suggest that these strokes are embolic, from either dislodgement of a clot or atheromatous debris off the aort…
Advances in medical care, particularly cardiac surgery, over the past half century have led to significant improvements in outcomes for children with chronic medical conditions. Children with structural heart defects, both genetic and acquired, have seen a profound improvement in survival
Facial canal dehiscence (FCD) is the most important consideration in the cholesteatoma surgery. The tympanic portion is the most common localization of FCDlization in the majority of cases. MDCT is the standardt imaging modality for temporal bone screening. In this study we aimed to compare coexisting the radiological and -surgical findings of patients who have were found during surgery to have…
Cholesteatoma is a serious otolaryngologic condition that to date remains an important problem and poses a challenge to otolaryngologists around the world. To improve the approach pertaining to the diagnosis and management of middle ear cholesteatoma, clear, clinically applicable, and useful definition and classification of cholesteatoma are required. This review aimed to evaluate the current a…
References form the backbone of any medical literature. Presently, because of high inflation, it is very difficult for any library/organization/college to purchase all journals. The condition is even worse for an individual person, such as private practitioners. The solution lies in the free availability of full-text articles. Here, the authors share their experiences about the accessibilit…
