We report a rare association of Adie's tonic pupil in a patient with systemic sclerosis who was otherwise systemically stable. This paper is an effort to unravel whether the tonic pupil and systemic sclerosis are an association by chance (which may be the case) or systemic sclerosis is the source of the tonic pupil.

St. Jude Medical has the first and only CE-marked neurostimulation system that delivers both Burst and tonic spinal cord stimulation (SCS). 1 Burst stimulation technology has been shown to further reduce pain in tonic responders with a reduction in paresthesia and recapture pain relief in non-responders to traditional tonic stimulation. When used to manage chronic, intractable pain of the trunk...

Rumpal, Nidhi and Gregory A. Lnenicka. Ca clearance at growth cones produced by crayfish motor axons in an explant culture. J Neurophysiol 89: 3225–3234, 2003; 10.1152/jn.00952.2002. Intracellular free Ca concentration ([Ca ]i) plays an important role in the regulation of growth cone (GC) motility; however, the mechanisms responsible for clearing Ca from GCs have not been examined. We studied t...

The granule cell layer of the cerebellum functions in spatio-temporal encoding of information. Granule cells (GCs) are tonically inhibited by spillover of GABA released from Golgi cells and this tonic inhibition is facilitated by acute ethanol. Recently, it was demonstrated that a specialized Ca(2+)-activated anion-channel, bestrophin1 (Best1), found on glial cells, can release GABA that contri...

In this report a 20-year-old male patient who had suffered tonic-clonic seizure after a single induction dose of etomidate until a bispectral index value of 60 is presented. Our best knowledge, this case is the first report of pure etomidate (with induction dose) induced generalized tonic clonic seizure proven with EEG. Anaesthesiologists should be careful against such a complication even in th...

2. Saleh is a 2-year-old male who presented with a self-aborted generalized tonic clonic seizure, which lasted for few minutes with high-grade fever due to pharyngitis. His father who is now a mathematics teacher, used to have seizures with fever between ages 2-4 years. Saleh’s mother is asking whether her child is going to be epileptic in future or not. Best response is that you would tell her...

Beyond the treatment of liver disorders, everyday care of the liver lays a cornerstone for total body health. Naturopaths and others, who look beneath the symptoms of an illness to its underlying cause, often discover that the liver has had a role to play. More than 500 vital functions have been identified with the liver. The liver is important because a person’s nutritional level is not only d...

Previous studies indicate that speakers signal the informational status of referents through a combination intonation, word order and lexical realisation. In this paper, I argue for non-binary view information structure with being (1) hearer discourse new, (2) new but given (3) given. Thus there can be no simple one-to-one relationship between structure, realisation accenting. spoken data exami...
