Introduction Paresis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is a complication of thyroid surgery. Neuromonitoring as is gaining acceptance among surgeons. The aim of the study was to assess the number of technical problems in the initial phase of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) use and the specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of neuromonitoring...

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome is a rare and acquired autoimmune disorder. We describe two female patients with medial rectus paresis as the only ocular manifestation. After a unilateral medial rectus recession and lateral rectus resection procedure, both patients recovered normal adduction. To our knowledge, this is the first report of surgery for extraocular muscle paresis in Lambert-Eaton...

Infiltration of a local anesthetic agent (e.g., lidocaine) in the vicinity of the facial nerve can transiently paralyze the temporal branch of the facial nerve and cause ipsilateral brow ptosis. This typically occurs during surgery to remove skin cancers on the temple. The buccal nerve typically is not prone to transient or permanent damage because it lies deep to the buccal fat pad. A case of ...

Many caribou (Rangifer tarandus) populations are declining worldwide in part due to disturbance from human development. Prior to human development, important areas of habitat should be identified to help managers minimize adverse effects. Resource selection functions can help identify these areas by providing a link between space use and landscape attributes. We estimated resource selection dur...

The natural history of idiopathic abducens nerve paresis and the role of conservative management such as vision training during the recovery process is not well documented in the literature to the best of our knowledge. This case report presents the natural recovery process of idiopathic abducens nerve paresis in a young adult and the role of vision therapy in the recovery process.

INTRODUCTION Various surgical procedures are available to correct paralytic ectropion, which are applied in irreversible facial paresis. Problems occur when facial paresis has an unclear prognosis, since surgery of the lower eyelid is usually irreversible. We propose a simple method to correct temporary ectropion in facial palsy by applying an adhesive strip. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ten patients...

preeclampsia is very challenging for anesthetists due to the heterogeneous clinical spectrum of disease characterized by hypertension, risk hypotension, high aspiration, and difficult airway. Therefore, Meta-Analysis intended provide evidence on maternal neonatal outcomes preeclamptic parturient. A comprehensive strategy was conducted in PubMed/Medline, Science Direct, Cochrane from January 200...

Background: Gestational diabetes (GDM) can cause adverse effects on parturient and newborns, effective control of blood sugar levels in the is essential for good prognosis. Continuous dynamic glucose monitoring effectively improve final pregnancy outcome patients with GDM.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of the study is to search the lesion localization of the pure isolated facial paresis-dysarthria syndrome in patients who were admitted to our neurology clinic in a prospective study. METHODS Over a period of six years, the patients who had no prominent sensorimotor dysfunction were examined by neurologists and underwent computerized tomography (CT) and/or magnetic...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation was performed in 20 patients with pontine infarction who had initially some degree of hemiparesis. Only patients with a well defined lesion on magnetic resonance imaging that was appropriate for the neurological signs were included. Recordings were made from the abductor pollicis brevis muscle (APB) bilaterally. The degree of hand paresis was estimated clinical...
