A 9-year-old boy developed severe positional vertigo, unsteadiness, vomiting and nystagmus during active mumps parotitis. Audiometric examination showed complete right sensorineural hearing loss. Brain stem evoked response to audiometric stimulation of the left ear was normal, but was absent on
Acute alcoholic pancreatitis is a clinical diagnosis made in patients who have acute upper abdominal pain, emesis, and hyperamylasemia soon after ingesting alcohol. We sought to determine whether the clinical diagnosis of pancreatitis was supported by elevated serum levels of pancreatic isoamylase,
A-13-year-old girl presented with diabetic ketoacidosis with convincing clinical signs of parotitis (fever, drooling of saliva, inability to swallow with development of bilateral parotid swelling) and pancreatitis (fever, abdominal pain and vomiting), along with high serum amylase and positive mumps
BACKGROUND
Mandibular fractures are rare in children. Symptoms of these fractures include preauricular pain and swelling, trismus and pain when opening the mouth, and they are often preceded by a fall on the chin. If the diagnosis is missed they may have serious consequences for the growth and
Mumps is an acute viral illness, which presents with glandular and/or nervous system involvement. The most common central nervous system manifestations of mumps include aseptic meningitis and meningoencephalitis. Mumps meningoencephalitis, which is characterized by fever, vomiting, nuchal rigidity,
An acute transient swelling of the parotid glands is recorded after general anaesthesia in orthopaedic surgery. The first differential diagnosis is bacterial parotitis; other causes of gland enlargement are viral infections, lymphoma, leukemia, sarcoidosis, Sjogren's syndrome, malnutrition
The acute reaction in the course of a total body irradiation (TBI) appears in an organ-specific damage of the stem cells. Moreover, there are unspecified central-nervous stress reactions. Clinical reactions are obtained by the study and symptomatic therapy is proposed. 90 patients with different
This prospective, randomized controlled trial was undertaken to evaluate the effect of tube decompression of the stomach after surgical procedure on the digestive tract. One hundred and nine patients were randomly allocated to postoperative treatment with (57 patients) or without (52 patients)
We experienced 13 cases (29.8 ± 7.0 years) of mumps meningitis and 365 cases of adult aseptic meningitis during 11 years from 2004 to 2014. A small epidemic of mumps occurred for 3-4 years, and the incidence rate of adult mumps meningitis coincided with the epidemic without seasonal fluctuation.
Cranial radiation therapy (CRT) is used to treat a wide range of malignant and benign conditions and is associated with a unique set of risks and complications. Early complications from CRT include fatigue, skin reaction, alopecia, headaches, anorexia, nausea/vomiting, exacerbation of neurologic
Acute toxicity, delayed complications and the incidence of interstitial pneumonitis (IP) after total body irradiation (TBI) are reviewed. Between July 1979 and March 1986 118 patients with hematological malignancies underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT): all were conditioned with
BACKGROUND
Total body irradiation followed by bone marrow transplantation is well established as a part of the conditioning regimen in high dose therapy. The immediate tolerance of fractionated total body irradiation (FTBI) was investigated prospectively.
METHODS
From January 1995 to December 1998
Thirty-one selected patients with various haematological malignancies who received a 10 Gy-4 h total body irradiation (TBI) at the Institut Gustave Roussy 24 h before high dose cyclophosphamide for bone marrow transplantation, were prospectively evaluated for gastrointestinal symptoms, body
All cases of mumps meningoencephalitis diagnosed at our institution during the past 15 years were reviewed. There were 24 cases, 16 between 1973 and 1977, 3 between 1978 and 1985 and 5 in 1986 to 1988. Four of the recent cases occurred 19 to 26 days after receipt of a new mumps vaccine (Urabe Am 9
