Eagle syndrome is a rare condition caused by elongation of the styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. Patients with Eagle syndrome typically present with dysphagia, dysphonia, cough, voice changes, otalgia, sore throat, facial pain, foreign body sensation, headache, vertigo, and neck pain. Here we report a case in which the patient initially presented with sore throat, lef...

Published case studies involving diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) along with symptomatic ossification of the stylohyoid ligament, or "Eagle syndrome," are rare. In this report, we document a case of bilateral Eagle syndrome and advanced DISH in the cervical spine of an 80-year-old man who presented with severe neck stiffness and intermittent asphyxia. The key imaging and clinical...

The Bald Eagle Search algorithm (BES) is an emerging meta-heuristic algorithm. simulates the hunting behavior of eagles, and obtains optimal solution through three stages, namely selection stage, search stage swooping stage. However, BES tends to drop-in local optimization maximum value space needs be improved. To fill this research gap, we propose improved bald eagle (CABES) that integrates Ca...

In the early 1990s, true green or blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with enough intensity for commercial applications were not available. Eagle-Picher and North Carolina State University (NCSU) had achieved groundbreaking developments in creating zinc selenide blue and green lasers and LEDs, but needed financial assistance to continue the research and development. With funding from the Advanced...

Eagle syndrome is an aggregate of symptoms caused by an elongated ossified styloid process, the cause of which remains unclear. This is a rare finding that often goes undetected in the absence of radiographic studies. In this case, we present the diagnostic CT and lateral view plain film radiography findings of a 39-year-old woman with clinical evidence of Eagle syndrome. Eagle syndrome can occ...

The Great Blue Heron Ardea herodias fannini Chapman, 1901 in the Pacific northwest appears to have modified nesting behaviour in response to the strong recent recovery of the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus (L., 1766)) population. Previously undescribed, herons now often nest in close association with some breeding eagles, even though eagles depredate heron nestlings, are implicated in the...

BACKGROUND Many nerve injuries have been associated with Eagle syndrome. The cranial nerves V, VII, IX, and X have been reported to be injured by the elongated styloid process in this syndrome. METHODS We describe a case of Eagle syndrome with atypical symptoms of hypoglossal nerve palsy and Horner syndrome. RESULTS A 56-year-old woman presented with right hypoglossal nerve palsy, right Hor...
