Spastic Paresis in Paget's Disease

Pagets Disease Of The Nipple

Pagets disease of uncertain origin: case report

BACKGROUND Pagets disease of the nipple presents as an eczematous lesion, occurs in 1 - 4% of all female breast carcinoma cases and is invariably associated with underlying malignancy either overt or occult. The majority of these cases are invasive disease although 40-45% are associated with DCIS. CASE PRESENTATION A 39 year old lady presented to our unit with a palpable lump in the right bre...

Spastic paresis: impaired spinal reflexes and intact motor programs.

Leg muscle EMG responses evoked by short treadmill acceleration impulses applied during stance were analysed in patients with spastic hemiparesis. The compensatory reactions on the unaffected side consisted of a diphasic pattern of leg muscle activation. The first response could best be described as a polysynaptic spinal stretch reflex response. This response was absent on the spastic side, exc...

99mTc-MIBI scan in mammary Pagets disease: a case report.

Technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) uptake is known to be increased in breast cancer because of increased blood flow from angiogenesis and heightened metabolism. We performed a 99mTc-MIBI scan in a patient with mammary Paget's disease. The patient had underlying invasive cancer in the same side of the breast. 99mTc-MIBI scan exhibited a scintigraphic image of the uptake from t...

A Successful Surgical Approach for Treatment of the Spastic Paresis in two Calves

muscular disease which affects the hind limb in young cattle (Baird et al., 1974; Harper, 1993). It is recorded in Holstein, Freisian and other breeds (Baird et al., 1974; Harper, 1993). This disease resulted from the contraction of the gastrocnemius and superficial flexor digital muscles and in some cases, the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, quadriceps and abductor muscles (Wi...
