The Intra-Aural Reflex Elicited after Stapedectomy (False Positive Response)

False positive lower limb lymphoscintigraphy due to inadvertent intra-vascular injection of the tracer: Importance of tracer re-injection

We presented a 30 year-old woman presented with symmetrical swelling of the lower limbs since 5 years ago with sparing of the feet. She was highly suspicious of having lipoedema and was referred for lower limb lymphoscintigraphy to rule out possible lymphedema. Lymphoscintigraphy images showed asymmetrical injection sites and unusually high liver and spleen uptake. Inguinal nodes was not visual...

The Many Faces of Intra-Aural Tick Clinical Presentation

Vibration elicited vasoconstrictor reflex in Raynaud's phenomena.

The fingers of seven women with primary Raynaud's phenomenon (PRP), 10 female controls, seven men with vibration induced white finger (VWF), and eight male controls were exposed to vibration and the relative change in finger capillary blood flow was measured by an atraumatic 133xenon washout technique without and during proximal nervous blockade. All four groups showed a vasoconstriction to vib...
