Giant cell arteritis is rarely reported in people aged less than 50 years. We report a case of giant cell arteritis in a woman who developed symptoms of dizziness, headache, bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment, and had 1 episode of transient left hemiparesis before the age of 30. Carotid angiography showed multiple segmental narrowing in cranial vessels. Subsequently, at the age of 31, s...

Technical innovation is rapidly improving the clinical utility of cardiac computed tomography (CT) and will increasingly address current technical limitations, especially the association of this test with relatively high levels of radiation. Guidelines for appropriate indications are in place and are evolving, with an increasing evidence base to ensure the appropriate use of this modality. New ...

SUMMARY We report the CT myelography and MR findings of two cases of extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma involving the spinal epidural and paravertebral spaces in a middle-aged man (case 1) and a young woman (case 2). In both cases CT myelography showed epidural and paravertebral masses on one side, with widening of the ipsilateral neural foramina at the C5-C6 level in case 1 and at the C7-T1 level in ...

Road infrastructure has a very important role in human life. Roads are the most of land transportation, with access roads from one area to another becoming easier. The development time is also increasing rapidly. transportation and activities was followed by repair, widening, opening new as happened Nagari Tapan, where this nagari connecting accesses for Province West Sumatra Bengkulu Province....

The Hadley circulation (HC) has widened in recent decades, and it widens as the climate warms in simulations. But the mechanisms responsible for the widening remain unclear, and the widening in simulations is generally smaller than observed. To identify mechanisms responsible for the HC widening and for model–observation discrepancies, this study analyzes how interannual variations of tropical-...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral atrophy, detected as ventricular enlargement or sulcal widening on MRI, is recognized as a risk factor for vascular dementia or Alzheimer disease. However, its underlying pathophysiology is not known. We examined whether retinal microvascular assessment could provide predictive information on the risk of ventricular enlargement and sulcal widening on MRI. METHO...

This paper measures education inequality between the coastal and inland provinces and compares it with rural-urban educational inequality in China using Gini education coefficients and decomposition analysis. The main finding of the paper is that disparities in access to education between rural and urban areas rather than between coastal and inland provinces are the major cause of educational i...
