OBJECTIVES To assess feasibility of the harmonic Osteovue blade (HOB) for use in the soft tissue approach for dogs undergoing hemilaminectomy and to compare outcomes between dogs undergoing HOB or traditional approach (TRAD). METHODS A prospective randomized clinical trial was performed using 20 client-owned dogs with thoracolumbar intervertebral disk extrusion requiring hemilaminectomy. Dogs...

MR imaging continues to make remarkable advances, often beyond our wildest dreams. As these advances occur, I am reminded continually of the importance of technology in determining how we practice medical imaging. It is obvious that most of the pertinent anatomy and diseases of the nervous system as well of those of the head and neck region primarily involve soft tissues. Only rarely do neurolo...

Patients with schizophrenia and related psychoses have an excess of minor neurological abnormalities (neurological soft signs) of unclear neuropathological origin. These include poor motor coordination, sensory perceptual difficulties and difficulties in sequencing complex motor tasks. Neurological soft signs seem not to reflect primary tract or nuclear pathology. It still has to be established...

the main purpose of this paper is to introduce and study new classes of soft closed sets like soft regular generalized b-closed sets in soft topological spaces (brie y soft rgb-closed set) moreover, soft rg-closed, soft gpr-closed, soft gb-closed, soft gsp-closed, soft g-closed, soft gb-closed, and soft sgb-closed sets in soft topological spaces are introduced in this paper and we investigat...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study was undertaken that evaluated the medical records and imaging studies of a subset of patients with spinal injury from large level I trauma centers. OBJECTIVE To characterize patients with spinal injuries who had neurologic deterioration due to unrecognized instability. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Controversy exists regarding the most appropriate imaging stu...

in this work, we introduce notion of connectedness on fuzzy soft topological spaces and present fundamentals properties. we also investigate effect to fuzzy soft connectedness. moreover, c_i-connectedness which plays an important role in fuzzy topological space extend to fuzzy soft topological spaces.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite the widespread use of angioplasty, adjunct chemical therapy is often needed to treat patients with cerebral vasospasm. In this study, we examined the safety of intraarterial administration of verapamil to patients with cerebral vasospasm. We herein summarize our 2-year experience with this treatment. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the procedure reports, ane...

Introduction: Irreducible posterolateral dislocation of the knee is a rare condition. Due to limited reports available, it common dilemma whether closed reduction should be attempted at all or an open surgery only method. “Dimple Sign'' can found in presence injured medial structure, including collateral ligament rupture (MCL), failure recognize this sign may lead repeated attempts close manual...

Marine and freshwater animals can cause injury to humans by biting, stinging, being poisonous to eat, and causing infections. Biting aquatic animals in Florida include sharks, barracudas, alligators, and moray eels. Devitalized tissue should be débrided, and vascular, neurologic, and tendinous injuries should be repaired. Radiographs should be obtained to examine the injury sit for fractures an...
