By 1 d after unilateral ligation or severance of the greater splanchnic nerve in the rat immediately caudal to the diaphragm, mitochondrial swelling, lysosomal multiplication and an increase in electron density in axoplasm combined to form a debris of axoplasm in unmyelinated fibers, and both

Greater occipital nerve (GON) infiltration is widely used for the treatment of primary and secondary headache disorders mainly on the basis of open-label evidence, although recent double-blinded placebo-controlled trials have demonstrated its efficacy in cluster headache. The procedure is generally

Massive tears of the rotator cuff are often associated with progressive and irreversible muscle degeneration due to fibrosis, fatty infiltration, and muscle atrophy. Rotator cuff tears are common in individuals older than 60 years and the repair of these tears is amongst the most prevalent of

UNASSIGNED Aflatoxicosis is a widespread problem in captive animals fed on stored food and has been reported in various animals both domestic and wild. This report documents the clinicopathologic, microbial diagnostic findings and therapeutic regime for a study on the presentation, management, and

Our previous study showed the early molecular responses of bone in response to obstructive nephropathy in a unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mouse model. Here, we addressed the changes in trabecular bone properties at greater trochanter, the proximal and the distal metaphysis of femur in UUO

Studies reporting on the cognitive abilities of men and women with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are surprisingly rare. We carried out a meta-analysis of neurocognitive data from 15 studies (n = 828 men; 1,238 women), which revealed a consistent male advantage on verbal and visuospatial tasks and tests

The clinical diagnostic criteria for frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) include relative preservation of memory and visuospatial function, in contradistinction to characteristics of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) contains items to assess these areas of cognition.

Prior studies reported that the hippocampal volume is smaller in Alzheimer's disease patients carrying the Apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4) versus patients who are non-carriers of this allele. This effect however has not been detected consistently, possibly because of the regionally-specific

OBJECTIVE Greater trochanter pain syndrome (GTPS) is a diverse clinical entity caused by a variety of underlying conditions. We sought to explore the impact of (1) hip morphology, namely the center-edge angle (CEa) and femoral neck-shaft (NSa) angle, (2) hip abductor tendon degeneration, (3) the

BACKGROUND Depression has been associated with higher conversion rates from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and may be a marker of prodromal AD that can be used to identify individuals with MCI who are most likely to progress to AD. Thus, we examined the neuroanatomical
