Toxoplasmosis is a serious and life-threatening disease in humans with a high prevalence in immunocompromised persons. The disease has a wide spectrum, depending on the immune status of the person. A CNS manifestation of toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent person is very rare and often undetected. Our case of CNS toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent person emphasizes the radiological diagnosis, ...

JUAN A. DEL REGATO, Radiologicalphysicists, New York, American Institute ofPhysics for the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, 1985, 4to, pp. v, 188, illus., $25.00. Radiology provided perhaps the main route by which physicists entered medicine in the period leading up the Second World War. Among other things, they were needed to develop and service X-ray and radium equipment; to de...

Immunohistochemistry have had a huge impact on oral and maxillofacial pathology diagnosis. As method it determines distribution amount of certain cellular molecules via specific antigen-antibody reaction. Whereas in most cases definitive diagnosis is achieved based detailed hematoxylin eosin cytomorphological analysis, along with clinical radiological features, some challenging equivocal neopla...

hemimelia as a congenital anomaly is a failure of development of extremities formation in embryonic period. this anomaly is defined as complete absence of the part of extremities and different forms were explained for hemimelia. adactyly is an alternative name for transverse hemimelia and is a rare disorder in the most of animal species. a two months old male lamb with normal vital signs was re...

BACKGROUND Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare congenital disorder among adults, and the way for repairing abdominal wall musculature has no unified standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS We described combining laparoscopic and open technique in an adult male who presented with PBS. Physical examination and radiological imaging verified the case of PBS. The deficiency of abdominal wall musculature ...

BACKGROUND Core biopsy of vertebral bone is traditionally carried out in the prone position under radiological guidance using a trephine. If biopsy of the intervertebral disc is required, the same technique and instrumentation is used or fine-needle aspiration is performed. The biopsy obtained with the trephine relies on capillary action and the volume of sample tissue is often small. The sensi...
