Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) disease comprises a group of disorders characterized by progressive distal muscle weakness and wasting. Review of the anaesthetic literature produced conflicting reports concerning the responses to neuromuscular blocking drugs in these patients. We describe a case in which vecuronium 0.11 mg kg(-1) produced prolonged neuromuscular blockade lasting 115 min in a patient ...

INTRODUCTION In the last years, continuously moving table (CMT) acquisition techniques have been developed to efficiently acquire extended Fields of View (FoV). Clinical relevance of these techniques, especially for cancer patients, has been reported [1-3] and CMT acquisitions are used in our daily clinical routine for metastases screening at 1.5T. However, 3T scanners are getting more and more...

Objective: To compare the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone (IVT) alone with combined intravitreal triamcinolone (IVT) and intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) on central macular thickness (CMT) in patients of diabetic macular edema (DME). Study Design: Randomized control trial. Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology, Jun 2013 to Dec 2013. Material and Methods: Eighty...

The incidence of positive CMT, indicative of subclinical mastitis, was studied in a flock of purebred Targhee ewes from four selection lines. The incidence of positive CMT was found to be random at lambing with respect to age and line of ewe, number of lambs born and weaned and sex of lambs, but at docking (3 to 7 weeks after lambing) increased with increasing age of ewe and number of lambs bor...

Ashbya gossypii has a budding yeast-like genome but grows exclusively as multinucleated hyphae. In contrast to budding yeast where positioning of nuclei at the bud neck is a major function of cytoplasmic microtubules (cMTs), A. gossypii nuclei are constantly in motion and positioning is not an issue. To investigate the role of cMTs in nuclear oscillation and bypassing, we constructed mutants po...

Background Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is clinically and genetically heterogeneous. There are no published series describing clinical, electrophysiological, and genetic information on CMT from the Indian subcontinent. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) neurography technique provides useful information about the plexus and roots and can be employed in patients with CMT. Settings and Design...

Objective. To determine the correlation between central corneal thickness (CCT) and central macular thickness (CMT), and fasting plasma glucose levels and HbA1c levels before diabetic macular edema (DME) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients without diabetic retinopathy. Methods. Forty-four eyes of subjects diagnosed with type 2 DM, and 45 healthy control subjects participated in this study...

Inherited neuropathy is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of neuropathies, the main category becomes Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy (CMT), also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN), distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN), and hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathy (HSAN). At least 80 genes have been associated with CMT, HMN or HSAN, a precise molecular diag...

Sommario Il carcinoma midollare della tiroide (CMT) si presenta clinicamente come un nodulo tiroideo ma la sua corretta diagnosi è complicata da alcune controversie, prima tra tutte il fatto che dosaggio routinario calcitonina in tutti i pazienti con noduli tiroidei non universalmente accettato. L’ecografia rappresenta l’indagine di scelta per caratterizzazione dei e recente, stratificare loro ...

Adult presentation of neglected congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is rare. Therefore, efficacy of surgical treatment for adult CMT is unclear. We experienced a case of neglected CMT in a 28-year-old male patient and report the surgical result here. We conducted unipolar resection at the distal end of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM). After surgery, the range of neck movement and head ti...
