Background: Aortic thrombosis (ATh) is an uncommon problem in dogs. Although the pathogenesis of hypertrophic osteopathy (HO) is unknown, it is thought this can be due to blood flow disorder. In this case, removal of aortic thromboembolism (ATE) resulted in periosteal proliferation. Case description: A 4.8-kg, 3-year-old, intact female Maltese was referred with...

CONTEXT Previous studies have demonstrated subtle neurologic dysfunction in chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) manifest as increased neurologic soft signs (NSSs). The origin of this dysfunction is undetermined. OBJECTIVE To resolve competing origins of increased NSSs in PTSD, namely, preexisting vulnerability factor vs acquired PTSD sign. DESIGN Case-control study of identical twi...

Mycetoma, also known as Madura foot, is a rare soft-tissue granulomatous infection caused by Actinomyces or true fungi. The MRI "dot-in-circle" sign has been described as a characteristic finding of mycetoma. This sign represents spherical T2 bright masses containing central and intervening low-signal-intensity foci. However, other soft-tissue masses can have similar appearances. We present a c...

The popliteal artery damage is present to range from 1.6% 64% of patients with knee dislocation, and it crucial evaluate vascular even if there are no prominent ischemic changes in the distal area. injury by high-energy forces around caused a fall or traffic accident potentially limb-threatening complication traumatic dislocation. blunt trauma has high risk limb amputation because initial sympt...

Asterixis, firstly described in metabolic encephalopathies, may occur unilaterally in patients with various focal brain diseases. Although hardly localizing, most reported cases have showed a contralateral thalamic pathology; but Lesions in the medial frontal lobe, parietal lobe, brain stem, basal ganglia, insular lesions, may also cause unilateral asterixis. In this article, three cases of acu...

As a part of a large multidisciplinary clinical and research follow-up study, 47 Williams syndrome patients underwent detailed neurologic testing. Because previous studies have documented the absence of major neurologic signs in Williams syndrome, the neurologic testing focused on soft signs. Previous findings of impairment of both gross and fine motor coordination were confirmed, and the prese...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of early computed tomographic (CT) findings of ischemia and their relationship to symptom duration and neurologic dysfunction within 3 hours of ischemic stroke. METHODS The CT scans of 39 acute stroke patients were evaluated for signs of early ischemic change within 3 hours of symptom onset and without knowledge of the patient's neurologic deficit or resul...

IMPORTANCE Patients with stroke often have a decline in blood pressure after thrombolysis. Neurologic improvement could result from recanalization or better collateral flow despite persistent occlusion. We hypothesized that neurologic improvement with concurrent decline in blood pressure may be a clinical sign of recanalization after intravenous tissue plasminogen activator. OBSERVATIONS Pati...
