The clinical and histopathological details of a patient who succumbed to giant cell arteritis (GCA) of the cervical radicular vessels are described. The initial clinical presentation, with diaphragmatic weakness, has not previously been reported. Normal inflammatory indices and the unusual presentation prevented diagnosis during life, but GCA should be considered in the differential diagnosis o...

Giant cell arteritis (GCA), an inflammatory vasculopathy that preferentially affects medium-sized and large arteries, has diverse symptoms and varied clinical courses that can make the diagnosis difficult. We describe a 75-year-old woman in whom GCA presented as lack of a pulse in the right arm. Although steroid therapy is generally effective for treating GCA, surgical intervention provides a b...

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common idiopathic systemic vasculitis in persons aged 50 years or greater. Treatment options for GCA, to-date, have been limited and have consisted primarily of glucocorticoids. Significant advances in the understanding of the genetic and cellular mechanisms in GCA are leading to identification of potential pathogenic targets. The recent success of interle...

INTRODUCTION In giant cell arteritis (GCA) headache of new onset due to inflammatory involvement of the temporal artery (TA) represents a diagnostic criterion. A widespread headache (WH) with scalp tenderness due to cranial arteritis can represent another manifestation of GCA. MATERIAL AND METHODS In 225 elderly patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) followed in our rheumatologic outpatie...

− This paper aims to explain the safety assessment and remediation mechanism of Granulated Coal Ash (GCA) as a material for the remediation of coastal sediments and to evaluate the improvement of the sediment in Kaita Bay, where GCA was applied. The concentrations of heavy metal contained in GCA and the dissolved amounts of heavy metal from GCA satisfied the criteria for soil and water pollutio...

A common source of variance (i.e., "general intelligence") underlies an individual's performance across diverse tests of cognitive ability, and evidence indicates that the processing efficacy of working memory may serve as one such source of common variance. One component of working memory, selective attention, has been reported to co-vary with general intelligence, and dopamine D1 signaling in...

The grade correspondence analysis (GCA) has been used to solve classification problems with a response variable and a vector of nonnegative explanatory variables. Still it can be used in various other areas as well. In this paper, so called sorting GCA algorithm is applied first to a data matrix. This algorithm results in a set of row and column permutations, corresponding to local maxima of Sp...

Giant Cell Arteritis Misdiagnosed as Temporomandibular Disorder: A Case Report and Review of the Literature Shoshana Reiter Ephraim Winocur Carole Goldsmith Alona Emodi-Perlman Meir Gorsky Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic vasculitis involving medium and large-sized arteries, most commonly the extracranial branches of the carotid artery. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to avo...

Ameloblastoma is an aggressive odontogenic tumor, which arises from odontogenic epithelium. Ameloblastomas can present in several clinical and histomorphological patterns. The granular cell variant accounts for only 3.5% to 5% of ameloblastomas. We have presented two cases of granular cell ameloblastoma (GCA) occurring in a 44-year-old and 50-year-old man, respectively. Case No. 1 on incisional...
