An Electroencephalography (EEG) inverse solution technique can be seen as a way to add spatial information to extra-cranial measurements. In other words, it is a mathematical/physical way to expand the dimensionality of scalp measurements so as to embed intra-cranial spatial information. This paper presents the new sLORETA-FOCUSS approach estimating the current density distribution in the brain...

Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the cranial vault is extremely rare. This case report presents a 42-year-old man with a painless subcutaneous scalp mass which extended intracranially associated with recent mild headache. Initial computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed two lesions emanating from the skull. Biopsy revealed a diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL)...

In this study, we suggest and experimentally validate a methodology for fast and optimized design of dual-band implantable antennas for medical telemetry (MICS, 402–405 MHz, and ISM, 2400–2480MHz). The methodology aims to adjust the design of a parametric dual-band antenna model towards optimally satisfying the requirements imposed by the antenna-fabrication procedure and medical application in...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to quantify the interaction between increased intra-abdominal pressure and Positive-End Expiratory Pressure. METHODS In 30 mechanically ventilated ICU patients with a fixed tidal volume, respiratory system plateau and abdominal pressure were measured at a Positive-End Expiratory Pressure level of zero and 10 cm H2O. The measurements were repeated after plac...

Muscle power output is thought to limit suction feeding performance, yet muscle power output during suction feeding has never been directly measured. In this study, epaxial activation and strain, hyoid depression, and intra-oral pressure were simultaneously measured during suction feeding in the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). A mechanical model of muscle force transmission between the...

Olfactory neuroblastoma (esthesioneuroblastoma) is a rare malignant tumor of neuroectodermal origin. With only about 1,000 cases reported, there are no clear guidelines regarding management of this disease. Intracranial extension and orbital involvement have been shown to be independent risk factors associated with poorer outcomes. We hereby report a case of a 46-year old male presented with an...

introduction: injury to cranial nerves ix, x, and xii is a known complication of laryngoscopy and intubation. here we present a patient with concurrent hypoglossal and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis after rhinoplasty. case report: the patient was a 27-year-old woman who was candidate for rhinoplastic surgery. the next morning after the operation, the patient complained of dysphonia and a s...

BACKROUND Bevacizumab has been in use as a therapeutic agent for macular oedema for several years. While its efficacy has been well documented, its use has been shown to cause a transient rise in the intra-ocular pressure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long term effect of intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab on Intra-ocular pressure. METHODS One hundred eyes (n=100) of one hundre...

BACKGROUND Increase in hip intra-capsular pressure has been implicated in various hip pathologies, such as avascular necrosis complicating undisplaced femoral neck fracture. Our study aimed at documenting the relationship between intra-capsular volume and pressure in various hip positions. METHODS Fifty-two cadaveric hips were studied. An electronic pressure-monitoring catheter recorded the i...

Osteosarcoma is a malignant intra-osseous neoplasm producing osteoid. of the skull very rare and it usually involves cranial vault. The occurrence in base extremely rare. We report case primary osteosarcoma 59-year-old lady, occur left sphenoid wing with intracranial intranasal extension manifesting as facial pain, headache epistaxis. She underwent radiotherapy surgical resection tumour not fea...
