The aim of the study is to examine in-vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the acetonic and methanolic extracts of the mushrooms Boletus aestivalis, Boletus edulis and Leccinum carpini. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by using free radical scavenging activity and reducing power. In addition, total content of phenol and flavonoid in extracts were determined as pyrocatechol equivale...

cauda equina syndrome (ces) although uncommon, is a very serious condition, which should be diagnosed as soon as possible.  urinary dysfunction following a lumbosacral trauma is a key for the physician to consider ces as the most probable diagnosis. up to 62% of ces patients report a recent episode of trauma. we herein report a young man with ces due to sacral fracture with an interesting imaging.
