We report a 62-year-old female patient who came to our institution due pain and limited movements in the neck area, nausea, headache. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed single larger two smaller lesions with appearance of cavernomas left parietal brain region. was consulted neurosurgeon judged be inoperable. Radiosurgery performed ​​the cavernoma total focal dose 15Gy. 11 months afte...

Retinal ultrastructure was examined at various intervals following a single intravitreal injection of 100-4,000 micrograms of gentamicin in rabbit eyes. Three days after injections of 100-500 micrograms, numerous abnormal lamellar lysosomal inclusions were observed in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and in macrophages in the subretinal space. These changes were typical of drug-induced lipi...

A yearling California sea lion Zalophus californianus stranded in poor body condition, and on physical examination a heart murmur was audible bilaterally. The sea lion was diagnosed with a left-to-right shunting membranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) using B-mode, color-flow Doppler and continuous-wave Doppler echocardiography. A left-to-right intracardiac shunting lesion was confirmed duri...

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease was initially described as a self-limiting histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis in Japan in 1972, and is predominantly observed in women under the age of 30 year and in Asian populations. The pathogenesis is still poorly understood but is thought to include infections, and autoimmune and neoplastic diseases. The most common clinical manifestations are fever and painles...

BACKGROUND Recently, we characterized a Gamma Knife® radiation necrosis mouse model with various magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols to identify biomarkers useful in differentiation from tumors. Though the irradiation was focal to one hemisphere, a contralateral injury was observed that appeared to be localized in the white matter only. Interestingly, this injury was identifiable in T2-w...

Pancreatic panniculitis is a rare disease in which necrosis of fat in the panniculus and other distant foci occurs in the setting of pancreatic diseases; these diseases include acute and chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic carcinoma, pseudocyst, and other pancreatic diseases. This malady is manifested as tender erythematous nodules on the legs, buttock, or trunk. Histopathologically, it shows the ...

This investigation detailed the clinical disease, gross and histologic lesions in juvenile openbill storks (Anastomus oscitans) intranasally inoculated with an avian influenza virus, A/chicken/Thailand/vsmu-3 (H5N1), which is highly pathogenic for chickens. High morbidity and mortality were observed in openbill storks inoculated with HPAI H5N1 virus. Gross lesions from infected birds were conge...

Detailed examinations were conducted on 162 consecutive children with nutritional keratopathy. Surface changes ranged from mild haziness through generalized xerosis and formation of thickened keratinized plaques. Diffuse stromal edema occured early in the disease. Stromal loss took two forms: relatively small, sharply demarcated, eccentric, noninfiltrated cylindrical ulcers of varying depth; an...

A previously unknown disease which has spread among broiler poultry farms in Pakistan, attacks well-growing chicks at 3-5 weeks of age, with 30 to 60% mortality. At necropsy, the most prominent lesion is hydropericardium. Lungs are congested and oedematous, and liver and kidneys are pale and swollen. Histologically, there was necrosis and severe vascular changes in the heart as well as congesti...
