Purkinje cells have two action potentials: Climbing fiber responses (CFRs) and simple spikes (SSs). CFRs reflect the discharge of a single climbing fiber at multiple synaptic sites on the proximal dendrite of the Purkinje cell. SSs reflect the summed action of a subset of parallel fiber synapses on Purkinje cell dendritic spines. Because mossy fiber afferents terminate on granule cells, the asc...

Bifid nose is a rare congenital abnormality and its surgical correction is difficult. We represent a case of bifid nose with mild nasal deformity without cerebral or lip deformity. We performed rhinoplasty with a kind of the forked flap at one year of age and the appearance improved.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Uvular squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is usually considered with soft palate tumors as an oropharyngeal cancer subsite. This investigation aims to determine whether the uvula itself is a high-risk subsite in the oropharynx for primary squamous cell carcinomas. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of a large population database. METHODS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiolog...

Mandibular condyles constitute a major part of the temporomandibular joint. Bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) is rare morphological variant that asymptomatic in most cases and can be diagnosed incidentally on orthopantomogram during routine radiographic examination. But orthopantomography 2-dimensional imaging modality with various structures superimposed over region causing practical difficulty d...

Our patient presented with a double femoral head, that is, two separate heads with individual epiphyses, but a single contiguous metaphysis. Two similar cases had been described in the literature. The only common feature in these three cases is that they had open reduction for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) through an anterior approach. No other pathology was detected in these patient...

RATIONALE Dome-and-dart T waves (or bifid T waves) are a rare phenomenon in the surface electrocardiogram. These wave forms are mainly observed in patients with congenital heart disease such as atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. And hyperthyroidism who presented with an electrocardiogram that had dome-and-dart T waves in a precordial lead is never been reported. PATIENT CONCE...
