Harlequin syndrome is a rare neurological condition that results in unilateral facial flushing and sweating. Although the syndrome is generally a benign condition with complete resolution if appropriate treatment is initiated, unilateral facial flushing can be a sign of several serious conditions and should be thoroughly investigated. Sudden onset of facial flushing related to harlequin syndrom...

The Himalayan Rivers due to their steep bed and side slopes, narrow width and fragile geology of the region carry huge amount of sediment with them. Many runof-river hydro power projects are coming up on these rivers and suspended sediment enters into the power intake of these projects. Desilting chambers are provided to remove / minimize the suspended sediment from water conductor system. The ...

When trying to establish the likely anatomical site (preganglionic or postganglionic) of a lesion causing congenital Horner's syndrome, the distribution of facial flushing (the "harlequin" sign), may be seen. In babies and young children, facial flushing is a relatively simple clinical sign to demonstrate, compared with facial sweating. In unilateral facial flushing the areas that do not flush ...

Canine epididymal sperm was collected from the cauda epididymis using 2 different methods (flushing and mincing) to compare the qualities (the percentage of progressively motile, viable, morphologically abnormal, immature and intact acrosomes) before and after freezing and thawing. No significant difference was noted in the quality of the cauda epididymal sperm immediately after collection and ...

BACKGROUND Ultrasound guided transvaginal aspiration of oocytes has replaced other methods of oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). However, there is controversy over whether flushing yields a larger number of oocytes and a higher potential for pregnancy than aspiration only. OBJECTIVES To determine whether follicular aspiration and flu...

Rosacea is a common facial disorder characterized by centrofacial erythema, flushing, telangiectasia, edema, papules, pustules, ocular lesions, and rhinophyma in various combinations. The skin lesions most commonly affect the convex areas of the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. Rosacea is classified as erythematotelangiectatic (ETR), papulopustular, and phymatous subtypes, and as ocular and gr...
