OBJECTIVE
To estimate the prevalence of laryngeal paresis within a selected population of dogs and identify some of the distinguishing characteristics of affected dogs.
METHODS
A prospective study involving laryngoscopic examination of 250 dogs.
METHODS
The laryngeal movements of 250 dogs undergoing
New symptom onset of respiratory distress without other cause, and new hemi-diaphragmatic elevation on chest radiography postcardiotomy, are usually adequate for the diagnosis of phrenic nerve paresis. The symptom severity varies (asymptomatic state to severe respiratory failure) depending on the
Peripheral facial paresis is a serious clinical and social problem. The effect of physical therapy in 44 patients aged 13-80 was studied. Idiopathic peripheral facial paresis was the cause of mimic muscles dysfunction in 75% of our patients. Medical treatment was conducted according to the
Objectives: Infants with CHD requiring positive pressure ventilation via tracheostomy are especially vulnerable to malnutrition following cardiac surgery. Current post-operative feeding recommendations may overestimate the caloric
Post-stroke hemiparesis has a significant impact on postural stability. The transversus abdominis (TrA) muscle contributes to the stability of the spine. The aim was to assess both the postural stability and the activity of the TrA muscle in overweight post-stroke Background. Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is a common surgical treatment for degenerative spinal instability, but many surgeons consider obesity a contraindication for elective spinal fusion. The aim of this study was to analyze whether obesity has any influence on hospitalization
Regional anesthesia has an expanding role in upper extremity surgery. Brachial plexus blocks offer several advantages including providing effective analgesia, reducing narcotic requirements, and facilitating ambulatory care surgery. Despite the popularity of nerve blocks, the surgeon must not forget
Progressive left hemiparesis followed by face and trunk cutaneous vasodilation and hyperphagia developed in a 28-year-old man. He began eating five to six meals a day and gained 16 kg in 60 days. Computed tomography disclosed a neoplastic lesion involving the midline via the hypothalamus and
BACKGROUND
The effect on CSF pressures and symptoms of weight loss induced by gastric surgery was studied in morbidly obese patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
METHODS
Gastric weight reduction surgery was performed in eight morbidly obese women (49 +/- 3 kg/m2 body mass index)
The authors hypothesized that the risk of cerebral palsy at 2 years in children born extremely preterm to overweight and obese women is increased relative to the risk among children born to neither overweight nor obese women. In a multicenter prospective cohort study, the authors created multinomial
The effect of interscalene block (ISB) on pulmonary function of obese participants has not been investigated. The goal of this study is to assess the association of obesity (body mass index [BMI] >29 kg/m vs BMI <25 kg/m) and change in forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1
Various degrees of persistent or paroxysmal paresis involving only the hindlimbs or all four limbs were observed in 3 dogs with hypothyroidism and lymphocytic thyroiditis. Clinical features included lethargy, obesity, alopecia, insidious and progressive paresis, hypotonia, and slow segmental
Monosomy 1p36 may result in a clinically recognizable chromosomal microdeletion syndrome. We report the unexpected death of a 12 year old boy with mildly dysmorphic facial features, short stature at 138 cm (3rd centile), moderate mental retardation and a history of seizures, obesity, transient
