BACKGROUND Trigeminal neuropathic pain attacks can be excruciating for patients, even after being lightly touched. Although there are rodent trigeminal nerve research models to study orofacial pain, few models have been applied to studies in mice. A mouse trigeminal inflammatory compression (TIC)

Bites by tarantulas (Theraphosidae, Mygalomorphae) in humans can result in mild clinical manifestations such as local pain, erythema, and edema. Vitalius dubius is a medium-sized, nonaggressive theraphosid found in southeastern Brazil. In this work, we investigated the mediators involved in the

In a soft drink caused food poisoning, white floccus was found and mould count was 6.0 x 10(2) CFU/ml. The Mycoflora was made of only one kind of mould which was identified as Penicillium janthinellum Biourge. This isolate can grow under anaerobic condition. The culture liquid of the isolate was fed

Recently, blood-brain barrier disruption (BBBD) has been performed by focused ultrasound (FUS) combining with microbubbles (MBs). The outcome of BBBD enhances local drug or gene delivery for improving the treatment efficiency of brain diseases. However, over-excitation of FUS may cause brain damage

TICS is a complex disease that is clearly multifactorial in the traumatically injured patient (Fig. 2). Although systemic inflammation that occurs directly as a result of injury plays the most prominent role, the local tissue and organ injury effects of trauma not only cause local capillary leak and

Heart failure typically manifests with exertional dyspnea or limb edema. Old age, underlying heart disease, and coronary risk factors are known risk factors for heart failure. Thus, congestive heart failure is rarely considered as a differential diagnosis of chronic cough in a previously healthy

It has been recognized that head trauma can induce movement disorders including tremor, dystonia, parkinsonism and tics. Likewise, lesions involving the peripheral nervous system have been held responsible for such extrapyramidal manifestations, However, involuntary movements secondary to electric

Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus can cause several postinfectious, nonsuppurative immune- mediated diseases including acute rheumatic fever, poststreptococcal reactive arthritis, pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders, and poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. Except for sporadic

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between serum lipase (LP), serum immunoreactive trypsin (IRT), and its inhibitors in patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) of diverse origin and to compare their time course with other acute conditions. The IRT and LP

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is one of many causes of status epilepticus (SE). Itis defined classically as a clinical radiographic entity, characterized by presentation of headache, altered mental status, visual disturbances, seizures, and typical neuroradiographic findings of

Background: Numerous cutaneous abnormalities have been described in adolescent girls who have been sexually abused. These include bruising, bite marks, cuts, scratches, abrasions, edema, hematomas or other evidence of struggle. Victims frequently shower or bathe excessively in an effort to cleanse

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to demonstrate that cardiac magnetic resonance could reveal anthracycline-induced early tissue remodeling and its relation to cardiac dysfunction and left ventricular (LV) atrophy. BACKGROUND Serum biomarkers of cardiac dysfunction, although elevated after
