PURPOSE We sought to determine whether cysticercosis lesions in the brain continue to enhance after nodular involution and complete calcification, and to investigate the clinical significance of this finding with respect to seizure recurrence after cysticidal treatment. METHODS Serial contrast-enhanced MR images were obtained in all patients with neurocysticercosis seen at our hospital over a...

The genetics of both syndromic (SHL) and non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is characterized by a high degree of genetic heterogeneity. We analyzed whole exome sequencing data of 102 unrelated probands with apparently NSHL without a causative variant in known NSHL genes. We detected five causative variants in different SHL genes (SOX10, MITF, PTPN11, CHD7, and KMT2D) in five (4.9%) probands. Cli...

Phaeohyphomycosis refers to infection of tissues by dematiaceous fungi which occur most commonly due to traumatic inoculation of fungi. A host reaction to these fungi can ultimately lead to the formation of a cystic cavity or abscess. Here we present a 71 year old woman who presented with a nodular swelling over the left elbow. A surgical excision was performed. On histopathological examination...

A total of 72 cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) cases referred to the Wad Madani Teaching Hospital between September 1999 and December 2000 were included in the present study. The patients were from different parts of the Gezira State.

The histological study showed a mass located in the dermis with no atypical features or inflammatory infiltrate (Figure 2). Tubular and cystic structures, as well as papillary folds projecting toward the cavity, were observed in the interior of the mass. These structures were composed of a single row of secretory cells and another of small cuboidal myoepithelial cells (Figure 2). The mass was s...

We provide the observed cell counts of the three-way mobility tables for men and women below. We also provide the R codes for fitting the models reported in the paper. Individual level data, from which the mobility tables are derived, are available from the following sources. The data of the National Survey for Health and Development can be obtained from the UK Medical Research Council, http://...

Background Passive glenohumeral range of motion may be characteristically limited to specific shoulder pathologies. While pain associated with loss of range of passive external glenohumeral rotation is recognized as a salient feature in adhesive capsulitis, restriction of glenohumeral range of motion in calcific tendinitis of the supraspinatus tendon has never been studied. Hypothesis On the ...
