Notes

High-resolution sonography shows within vivo connection between arm movement for the median neurological over the wrist.
One study was pre- and postintervention, and five studies were clinical trials. Studies show that although more studies are needed in contrast with occlusal splint, ozone therapy is generally more effective treatment for pain reduction compared to medication.
Experimental models are needed to better understand the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases to develop novel therapeutics. The neuropathology and clinical signs of acute radiation syndrome resemble those of neurodegenerative conditions. We characterized elevated plus maze (EPM) indicators of cognitive and motor impairment in rats exposed to brain-damaging doses of gamma radiation to develop a model for neurological component of the acute radiation syndrome.

Technetium 99 m was administered once through tail vein to male Wistar rats to reach an absorbed dose of Gamma radiation of 667 mGy (66.7Rad). Animal performance in the EPM was assessed every 14 days. Rats were observed for 9 weeks for the occurrence of systemic and neurological signs. Comparisons were done between irradiated and nonirradiated rats, and in each group with baseline performance.

EPM indicators of cognitive and motor impairment, anxiety, and depression were observed concomitantly and increased with the severity of acute radiation syndrome-like systemic and neurological signs. Alterations in EPM indicators appeared 3 weeks postirradiation and their severity increased with time. Notably, arm transitions and the distance covered in the maze were decreased (-56.71% and -73.62%,
< 0.001), as well as open arm entries and time spent in open arms (-77.78% and -76.19%,
< 0.05) and the indicator of thigmotaxis rearing (-92.45,
< 0.001).

Our results suggest that irradiated rat performance in the EPM paradigm reflects disease severity and could be used to perform both acute and subchronic pharmacological studies in acute radiation syndrome-like diseases in rats.

On initial physical examination, the laboratory examination revealed high levels of lactate dehydrogenase and creatinine concomitant severe thrombocytopenia. Moreover, the peripheral blood smear showed schistocytes 3%, suggesting thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). A ground-glass pattern was reported in the high-resolution computed tomography of the lung. A positive polymerase chain reaction was reported for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). After initiating treatment for COVID-19, the patient received fresh frozen plasma and 24-h electrocardiogram monitoring in the emergency department. As the patient was being prepared for transfer to another hospital for plasmapheresis treatment, cardiac arrest occurred again, and the patient passed away. This study highlights the atypical behavior of this virus over the course of the disease including TTP with conjunctivitis, which could vary from case to case.Dystroglycanopathy is a type of congenital muscular dystrophy caused by mutations causing defective glycosylation of a dystrophin-associated glycoprotein, dystroglycan and as such is a very rare disease entity. We are reporting a 1-year-old girl child with dystroglycanopathy who presented with motor predominant developmental delay. She had motor development quotient of 52, mental development quotient of 75, facial dysmorphism, mixed hypotonia with a global decrease in muscle power, and areflexia. Serum CPK level was elevated; magnetic resonance imaging brain revealed multiple intraparenchymal cysts in the cerebellum with disorganized folia. Next-generation sequencing revealed a homozygous missense mutation in exon 3 of the ISPD gene (p.Gln215His; ENST00000407010) consistent with the diagnosis of dystroglycanopathy muscle-eye-brain disease. Genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for subsequent pregnancies were advised for the family, apart from appropriate rehabilitation for the child.
The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of insomnia after coronary angioplasty and coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and compare them.

This cross-sectional study was done in Masih Daneshvari and Emam Hossein Hospital of Tehran during a period of 12 months in 2016. The study group consisted of patients who were admitted to these hospitals with heart disease and had to go under CABG or angioplasty. Each participant completed a detailed Persian version of the insomnia severity index and demographic questionnaire which includes demographic questions and questions about the onset or durability of sleep as well as questions about the use of alcohol, caffeine, cigarettes, and sleeping drugs 2 days before the surgery and 1 week after that. The state of insomnia was measured before and after the CABG and compared with the state of insomnia before and after angioplasty.

About 150 patients were included in the study (80 men [67.4%] and 70 women [43.6%]). In the CABG group, 14.67% of the preoperative patients and 24.0% of the patients after the operation had insomnia, and the difference between them was significant (
= 0.003). Furthermore, in the angioplasty group, 14.67% of the preoperative patients and 20.0% of the patients after the operation had insomnia, and the difference between them was significant (
= 0.001).

Insomnia after both CABG and angioplasty was significantly increased but in CABG group this increase was more than angioplasty.

Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a relatively rare benign disease. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the demographic distribution, clinical presentation, and histomorphological characteristics of IPT while highlighting its associated diagnostic challenges.

A retrospective cross-sectional review of all the IPT diagnosed in our institution between January 1999 and December 2018 was conducted. The samples were received from within and outside the hospital facility. The demographic data, clinical history, and histologic reports were reviewed.

A total of 25 cases of histologically confirmed IPT were seen. Patients' age ranges from 7 to 74 years with a mean age of 38.96 years and standard deviation ± 17.94 years. There was a bimodal peak occurrence in the third and fifth decades. Most of the patients were adults (23, 92%), whereas only 2 (8%) were children. There was a female preponderance with a male-to-female ratio of 12.6. Selisistat nmr The head and neck had the highest number of cases (44%), followed by the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) (40%).
