Hydrocephalus is a medical condition characterized by enlargement of cerebral ventricles due to abnormal cerebrospinal fluid accumulation. Hydrocephalic women with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts are now surviving to reproductive age, but still there are doubts regarding the mode of delivery,
Although there have been a few reports of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma, it may be difficult to make a correct diagnosis of the lesion because of atypical clinical symptoms. The authors reported a case of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma presenting Brown-Séquard syndrome, with a review of
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the tolerability and toxicity of PCI in patients with NSCLC.
BACKGROUND
Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is a standard treatment for patients with small cell lung cancer. There are data showing a decreasing ratio of brain metastases after PCI for non-small cell lung
BACKGROUND
Wilkie syndrome, also referred as superior mesenteric artery syndrome, is an unusual cause of a proximal small bowel obstruction. It is characterised by the compression of the duodenum in its third portion due to a narrowing of the space between the superior mesenteric artery and the
Human envenomations by Heloderma species are a rare but clinically important medical problem. We report a case of an adult male bitten on the left hand by a 50-cm male, captive specimen of Heloderma suspectum (Gila monster). Immediate signs and symptoms included pain at the bite site radiating into

Lonidamine, a substituted indazole carboxylic acid that inhibits cellular respiration, was given in an escalating oral schedule to 20 evaluable patients with measurable extensive small cell carcinoma of the lung. Two partial responses occurred. Reversible acceptable toxicity included myalgia,
BACKGROUND
Neuropathic pain is intense in nature and difficult to manage. Thus, the primary goal is maximum relief from pain. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose combination of sustained-release pregabalin and methylcobalamin in reducing neuropathic pain in
The new anticancer agent lonidamine has been recently revisited for the treatment of various solid tumors, due to its peculiar and unusual mechanism of action (ie, interference with energy metabolism of tumor cells, morphologically displayed by the appearance of "condensed mitochondria"). First
The National Cancer Institute of Canada Clinical Trials Group conducted a phase II study of lonidamine, given in an escalating oral daily schedule to a maximum dose of 450 mg/m2 in patients with previously treated advanced breast cancer. Five responses were seen in 30 evaluable patients (17%).
Lonidamine (LND) interferes with the energy mechanisms of neoplastic cells and decreases the oxygen consumption in human and experimental tumors. The present study was performed in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients, previously untreated, to confirm the preliminary data of activity against
Herpes zoster results from reactivation of the varicella zoster virus (VZV). Zoster sine herpete (ZSH) is an uncommon manifestation of VZV infection and presents with similar symptoms but without the vesicular rash. We describe an unusual case of lateral sinus thrombosis (LST) that developed during
