The neurovascular theory explains migraine to be a result of complex pathophysiological changes leading to activation of trigeminal nociceptors by several inflammatory mediators. Different classes of drugs have been used to control migraine where specific class of drugs inhibit only specific mediators while sparing others, resulting into suboptimal treatment response. Migraine is also reported ...

We study a multiorbital model for the alkaline iron selenides K(1-x)Fe(2-y)Se(2) using a slave-spin method. With or without ordered vacancies, we identify a metal-to-Mott-insulator transition at the commensurate filling of six 3d electrons per iron ion. For Hund's couplings beyond a threshold value, this occurs via an intermediate orbital-selective Mott phase, in which the 3d xy orbital is Mott...

Distal biceps brachii tendon rupture is an uncommon injury. Compartment syndrome of the upper arm is rarely described in the literature. The diagnosis of upper arm compartment syndrome requires a high index of suspicion, and emergent surgical treatment with fasciotomy in the acute setting is necessary to avoid devastating neurovascular complications. This article reports a case of acute compart...

74 Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a comprehensive term used to describe symptomatology due to compression of neurovascular bundle in the thoracic outlet region of upper extremity. The term TOS was used for the first time in the literature by Rob and Standeven.[1] It had also been termed costoclavicular syndrome, cervical rib syndrome, scalenus anticus syndrome, subclavius tendon syndrome, or...

Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder of the connective tissue with pleiotropic manifestations in the classic triad of ocular, skeletal, and cardiovascular systems. Characteristic clinical features include a thin tall stature, pectus carinatum or excavatum, scoliosis, joint hypermobility, arachnodactyly, pes planus, a high arched palate, and ectopia lentis. The syndrome ha...
