This is rather an altogether new book thin a second edition ?f Dr. de Watteville's work on Medical Electricity. The tone throughout is thoroughly scientific and the information is clearly expressed. Electricity has now won a recognized place in practical medicine ; but to uss it aright a sound knowledge of the laws of electricity is necessary. Dr. de Watteville therefore devotes the first chapt...

applicable. The earlier section of the book deals with the simpler phenomena of magnetism and current production, and is, in fact, a short and elementary treatise on electricity, affording sufficient theoretical knowledge for the use of the Electrotherapist. The major portion of the work is taken up by the application of this knowledge to diagnosis and treatment. The sections on electro-diagnos...

Renal arteriovenous fistula (rAVF) is an uncommon condition, usually iatrogenic and in most cases caused by percutaneous renal needle biopsy. This is a report of rAVF following flexible ureteroscopic electro-hydraulic lithotripsy of a lower pole renal calculus and its subsequent management. A high index of suspicion is required for the diagnosis of this rare complication, which is easily treate...

Cubital tunnel syndrome is the most common form of ulnar nerve entrapment and the second most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity after carpal tunnel syndrome. However, bilateral compressive ulnar neuropathy is a rare condition. Electro diagnostic studies are a valid and reliable means of confirming the diagnosis.

The genetic causes underlying epilepsy remain largely unknown, and the impact of available genetic data on the nosology of epilepsy is still limited. Thus, at present, classification of epileptic disorders should be mainly based on electroclinical features. Electro-clinical syndrome is a term used to identify a group of clinical entities showing a cluster of electro-clinical characteristics, wi...

In this paper, neuro based intelligent diagnosis methods for electro-mechanical control system are proposed. A self organizing map neural network (SOM) is used to classify measured data of the target system as a qualitative diagnostic method. Besides of the above procedure, it is expected to attain more efficient maintenance by a quantitative estimation of failure. For the purpose, new method i...

Three patients, one male and two females who developed neuroleptic malignant syndrome following exposure to depot and oral neuroleptic are presented. The patients satisfied Levenson's criteria for diagnosis. Bromocriptine and Electro Convulsive Therapy were found effective whereas trihexyphenidyl proved unsatisfactory in the treatment. All the patients recovered completely without complications.

primary sjorgen syndrome is one of the commonest autoimmune diseases with characteristic of involvement of lachrymal and salivary glands, but other organ involvements as peripheral and central nervous system are also possible. the reported case is a 23 year old lady presented with progressive sensory ataxia and weakness of four limbs, bilateral sensory hearing loss and cognitive impairment with...
