A nine-year-old male, neutered, pug was presented for investigation of progressive ambulatory paraparesis and pelvic limb ataxia of three months' duration. Magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of caudal thoracic syringohydromyelia with an adjacent intradural arachnoid cyst. The cyst was marsupialised following dorsal laminectomy. Neurological status had improved 10 weeks following surgery ...

intrathoracic gossypiboma, a retained surgical sponge in the thoracic cavity, is a rare but serious complication of thoracic surgeries. a 70-year-old man presented with an eight-month history of cough. he had undergone coronary artery bypass surgery eight years ago. the posteroanterior chest x-ray revealed a well-marginated homogeneous opacity at the left hemithorax with striped appearance in t...

Background. Penetrating spine injuries can cause catastrophic complications to the patient, and it demands immense medical care minimize insult. Mainly, occurs in military field; however, has become more prevalent among civilians due gun availability. The thoracic is most affected part, followed by cervical lumbar spine. Case report. A 15-year-old teenage boy had a penetrating injury (T10) vert...

Testudines or queloniums generally have similar morphological characteristics. Chelonians belong to the group of reptiles, subclass Anapsidia, as well order Chelonia Testudinata. Chellus fimbriatus (Schneider 1783) is a typical South American turtle, and popularly known mata-mata. It species considered exotic, in view its external appearance, with projections fibrillated nailed. Differentiated ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to describe the phenotype of fetuses affected by amniotic band sequence (ABS) that were diagnosed at the Instituto Nacional de Perinatología Isidro Espinosa de los Reyes and to propose a new classification based on morphologic findings. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cases with a final diagnosis of amniotic band sequence, diagnosed between January 1993 and July 2010 i...

Lymph vessels develop during the 9th week of fetal life. During the 14th week they form wide lymph trunks in the connective tissue through the tissue planes of least resistance, which divide the parenchyma of the lung into distinct lobules. By the 20th week this lobulation is less distinctive, the connective tissu decreases, and the lymph vessels become thinner in relation to the parenchyma of ...

The Thermosbaenacea, a small taxon of crustaceans inhabiting subterranean waters, are unique among malacostracans as they brood their offspring dorsally under the carapace. This habit is of evolutionary interest but the last detailed report on thermosbaenacean development is more than 40 years old. Here we provide new observations on an ovigerous female of Tulumella unidens with advanced develo...

OBJECTIVE This evaluated the long-term outcome after endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) from below D1 to D4, using a single-site access technique for primary hyperhidrosis of the upper limbs. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Primary hyperhidrosis of the upper limbs is a distressing and often socially disabling condition. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy is considered the treatment of choice, cau...

Two thoracic limbs of Drosophila, the leg and the wing, originate from a common cluster of cells that include the source of two secreted signaling molecules, Decapentaplegic and Wingless. We show that Wingless, but not Decapentaplegic, is responsible for initial specification of the limb primordia with a distal identity. Limb formation is restricted to the lateral position of the embryo by nega...

Poland anomaly was first reported in Guys Hospital report, 1841. Since then many cases have been described. Among the upper limb developmental defects, Poiand anomaly has a prevalence of 1 in 20,000. According to anotherreport 10% of all cases of upper limb syndactyly have Poland anomaly also. Poland anomaly is a sporadic developmental disorder involving the upper limb. Primary defect seems to ...
