I ntraocular spread of Acanthamoeba after keratitis is rare, being previously documented and microbiologically confirmed in 1 case of chorioretinitis and 1 case of endophthalmitis. Both occurred several months following penetrating keratoplasty (PK), were initially treated as suspected sterile inflammations, did not receive specific oral or intraocular treatment for Acanthamoeba, and finally re...

We reported the recovery of sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus in a 22-year-old man after complete removal of intracranial portion of jugular foramen schwannoma via the retrosigmoid approach. The aim of this case report was to present the excision of a large jugular foramen schwannoma via the retrosigmoid approach and to describe the improvement of sensorineural hearing loss related to ara...

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is characterized by gradual, insidious compression or obstruction of the superior vena cava (SVC). The most common etiology of SVCS is related to malignancy such as bronchogenic CA and lymphoma. Other cases have a variety of causes such as chronic infections and chronic inflammations that involve the mediastinum. Spontaneous SVC thrombosis is also known to occ...

CORTISONE and hydrocortisone are now widely used in the treatment of ocular inflammations, particularly in allergic conditions such as phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis, vernal conjunctivitis, scleritis, uveitis, and some kinds of keratitis. In the treatment of diseases in the anterior segment of the eye, an inexpensive topical application in the form of a suspension or ointment may be used wit...

The object of the following s tudy is twofold: to determine the presence of influenza-like bacilli in the throat and bronchial mucus of children with and without pulmonary inflammations, and to arrive at a differentiation of these bacilli by means of cultural characters and agglutination reactions. The material was chosen with a view to including as many different pulmonary conditions as possib...

BEFORE submitting the report of this case of Cancrum oris to the Society, I desire, as shortly as possible, to direct the attention of the Fellows to some general questions regarding the inflammations of the mouth in children. The first of these is? 1. The Names of these Diseases.?It is to be regretted that at present the names of the various forms of stomatitis are employed by authors to indic...

BACKGROUND Chemokine C-C motif ligand 1 (CCL1) accumulates C-C motif chemokine receptor 8 positive leukocytes to the inflammatory sites. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the chemokine CCL1 gene are associated with exacerbation of chronic obstructive lung disease. However, it is unclear whether CCL1 has immunomodulatory functions during pulmonary inflammation. This study aimed to elucidate thi...

Medicinal plants have been used for decades for the treatment of different diseases. Solanum nigrum L is an important medicinal plant in many traditional health care systems. It has been used for the management of liver disorders, diabetes, infections, cancer, inflammations and peptic ulcer. In the present study, we screened the green unripe S. nigrum L fruits and leaves for their cytotoxic act...

Mycotoxin contaminations pose a growing problem in animal production from the economic and toxicological point of view. Clinical symptoms of mycotoxicosis are relatively unspecific, making the disease difficult to diagnose. This study presents a clinical case of dairy cattle infected with natural mycotoxins produced by fungi of the genus Fusarium (zearalenone [ZEA] and deoxynivalenol [DON]) in ...
