The presence of a uterine cesarean scar defect (CSD) is usually asymptomatic or relates to postmenstrual spotting and dark red or brown discharge, pelvic pain or infertility. Since hysteroscopic isthmoplasty has been documented to be minimally invasive and effective for symptomatic relief, we prefer channel-like resectoscopic treatment for symptomatic CDS with small size resectoscope. 16-Fr res...

Patient male, victim of aggression, comatose, with a screwdriver in his ear canal (Figure 1). CT scan showed a route of the screwdriver through the temporal petrous portion, through the internal carotid artery (ICA) course and a subdural hematoma (Figure 2). We performed hematoma evacuation, with subsequently intracranial and cervical ICA temporary clipping. We removed the screwdriver without b...

CASE PRESENTATION An 82-year-old Greek woman presented with progressive bilateral weakness of her upper extremities...

・ ・ ・ ・ ・ Spinal reflex and neuromuscular functions were inyestigated in the beagles ingesting clioquinol over a long period. The twitch tension, the refractory period, the summation of contraction and the discharge of the muscle spindles of the gastrocnemius muscle were not significantly damaged in the treated beagles, whereas the response with long lateney of the spinal reflex disappeared com...

Cervical spine movements were compared in 35 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and matched controls. In AS there were limitations of all movements and particularly of lateral flexion. These limitations could not be correlated with any particular features of AS except radiological involvement of the lower apophyseal joints. In 25 patients there were significant improvements in all measur...
