Examination bone vestiges suggests diagnosis hip dislocation as consequence developmental dysplasia hip. In addition, youngest subject first sacral vertebra appears lumbarized and shows unilateral defect rig...

OBJECTIVES Psychogenic gait is common in patients with medically unexplained neurological symptoms and provides significant challenges to healthcare providers. Clinicians may arrive at a correct diagnosis earlier if distinctive positive signs are identified and acknowledged. This study aims to offer a tool for identifying patterns of psychogenic gait based on positive signs in clinical settings...

Results Whole body bone scan revealed asymmetrical increased up take in ankle and linear increased up take in left metatarsus (3th). His abdominal CT Scan showed multiple variable size hypodense lesions in bilateral kidneys and buldging and distortion of renal border. Bone marrow biopsy performed that revealed positive for CD45 and CD3. His renal lesions biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Malign...

This paper describes several features used in a system for automatic gait analysis. In most clinical systems markers are used to determine the trajectories. We use features derived from the optical ow eld to recognize diierent kinds of gait like walking, hopping, running, and limping. This method does not presume any markers. Every sequence of images produces a sequence of feature vectors. Thes...

We reviewed 17 patients after arthroscopic resection for anterior impingement in the ankle. All had had painful limitation of dorsiflexion which had failed to respond to conservative treatment. Review at an average of 39 months showed very significant improvements in levels of pain, swelling, stiffness, limping and activity. There was a significant improvement in the range of dorsiflexion but n...

A child with chest pain or tics, a toddler who is limping, a 12-year-old girl with abdominal pain or headaches, an infant whose fever does not respond to antibiotics — these are ageold challenges that pediatricians face. I have been teaching pediatrics to residents and medical students for more than three decades, but over the past few years, as I’ve watched trainees at work, sitting at their c...

Vanishing bone disease is a rare condition characterized by progressive osteolysis of the bony structures by vascular tissue and their replacement by fibrous, vascular connective tissue. A 38-year-old lady who had a previous history of angioma of the left iliac bone presented with vague symptoms of a limping gait and pain during walking since 2 years duration.
