The Neu-Laxova syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition associated with neuro-ectodermal abnormalities and other patterns of severe malformations leading to prenatal or early postnatal lethality. Association with kyphosis is an extremely rare finding. A fetus born from a 25-year-old gravida
Chin on chest deformity caused by upper cervical kyphosis associated with ankylosing spondylitis is rare. A 66-year-old woman presented at our institute with chief complaints of difficulty in horizontal gaze and opening her mouth. Cervical radiographs showed a C0-2 angle of 1° on flexion and 7° on
BACKGROUND
It is unclear if an MR-detectable bone marrow edema is a prerequisite for pain reduction and morphological correction by kyphoplasty. This comparative trial evaluates clinical and radiomorphological outcomes after kyphoplasty of painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures with and without
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to correlate the clinical profile and neurological outcome with findings of imaging modalities in acute spinal cord injury (SCI) patients.
METHODS
Imaging (radiographs, computed tomography [CT], and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) features of 25 patients of acute SCI were
METHODS
Retrospective review.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the perioperative complications for patients undergoing single stage, multilevel, anterior, and posterior cervical fusions crossing the cervico-thoracic junction.
BACKGROUND
Cervical spinal stenosis with kyphosis involving 3 or more disc levels is
A diagnosis of the Neu-Laxova syndrome was made by ultrasonography in the third trimester of pregnancy. Initial ultrasonographic examination, at approximately 28 wk gestation, showed intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), hypoechoic skeletal structures, kyphosis, feeble fetal activity, and
The impact of widespread and common environmental factors, such as chemical contaminants, on infectious disease risk in amphibians is particularly important because both chemical contaminants and infectious disease have been implicated in worldwide amphibian declines. Here we report on the lone and
BACKGROUND
In children as well as adults, adequate access to the craniocervical junction and upper cervical vertebra can usually be achieved with a transoral-transpalatopharyngeal route. However, when access is necessary to achieve the C5 level and the upper cervical spine in children, this is very
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to study characteristic MRI findings in cervical spine fractures complicating ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Technical issues related to MRI are also addressed.
METHODS
A review of 6,774 consecutive cervical spine multidetector CT (MDCT) scans obtained during 6.2 years
Selenium is a potent reproductive and teratogenic environmental contaminant and there are concerns over possible reproductive effects of selenium on the Sacramento splittail (Pogonichthys macrolepidotus) population, a threatened species, in California, USA. In this study, the teratogenic effects of
We have demonstrated that ethylenethiourea (ETU) is a potent teratogen to the rat embryo developing in vitro. Sprague Dawley rat embryos were explanted on gestation day 10 and cultured for 48 hours in the presence of 40-200 micrograms/ml ETU. This resulted in a dose-related inhibition of growth and
Pathogenically the erosive intervertebral osteochondrosis is the destructive form of the intervertebral osteochondrosis. This paper aims to define this acute variant by means of diagnostic criteria. In differential diagnosis a spondylodiscitis, an ankylosing spondylitis, a destructive
A one-month chronic exposure of common carp larvae and embryos to nitrite revealed significant (p < 0.01) differences in total accumulated mortality in fish exposed to 33, 67, and 330 mg/L NO(2)(-) compared with controls. At the highest concentration, all fish died within 8 d of exposure. On the
Mucopolysaccharidoses VII, or Sly syndrome, is linked to mutations in the beta-glucuronidase encoding gene. Sly syndrome is a rare condition and presentation is highly variable, ranging from a prenatal form with severe, lethal fetal hydrops to more benign adolescent or adult forms with simple
The prevalence of abnormalities and associated tissue selenium residues were assessed for the fish population of Belews Lake, North Carolina, and two reference lakes in 1975, 1978, 1982, and 1992. Teratogenic defects identified included lordosis, kyphosis, scoliosis, and head, mouth, and fin
