Extra-intestinal manifestations (EIM) of Crohn's disease (CD) affect up to 35% of patients and the presence of one EIM appears to be a predisposing factor for others.1 Orbital myositis (OM) is a subgroup of idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome involving one or more extra-ocular muscles and is described as a very rare EIM of CD.2 We present the case of a 55-year-old woman, with Crohn's colit...

The case of a 15-year-old male with Turcot syndrome is presented. When the patient was aged 10 years a medulloblastoma was diagnosed. Five years later he developed multiple adenomatous polyps of the colon and multiple "congenital hypertrophy of the retina" (CHRPE), the most common extraintestinal manifestation of FAP, were described. Family history revealed familial adenomatous polyposis with 1...

oral mucosa can be affected in many systemic diseases such as chronic renal failure (crf). many metabolic and hematologic disorders develop in patients with crf which can also affect oral cavity. oral mucosa, teeth, salivary glands and jaw bones are affected. although hemodialysis can improve many of systemic features but the best treatment is renal transplantation. in addition to previous feat...

Wilson’s disease (WD) or hepato-lenticular degeneration is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder. A prevalence rate of 30 cases per million and a birth incidence rate of one per 30,000 to 40,000 are often quoted. In 40 to 50% of individuals with WD, hepatic dysfunction is the initial clinical manifestation. With the exception of liver transplantation, treatment of WD is only palliative and intend...

Extensive studies on the subject of photosensitive epilepsy, which have taken place around the world, have led to formulation of this Recommendation. The guidance proposed in this Recommendation is for the protection of the vulnerable section of the viewing population who have photosensitive epilepsy, and who are therefore prone to seizures triggered by flashing lights, including certain types ...

ITE JOURNAL / NOVEMBER 1999 HIGHWAY-RAILROAD GRADE crossings are a relatively unique and sometimes perilous intersection of two transportation modes. The cost of collisions at these intersections is high in both dollars and human lives. The amount and type of sight distance provided at highway-railroad grade crossings can have significant impacts on safety. The proper calculation of these sight...

Given that knowledge regarding the etiology of comorbidity between disorders can have a significant impact on research regarding the classification, treatment, and etiology of the disorders, the ability to reject incorrect hypotheses regarding the causes of comorbidity is very important. A simulation study was conducted to assess the validity of the Neale and Kendler (1995) model-fitting approa...

Adviser: Anuj Sharma This thesis evaluated the effects of 5 mph and 10 mph speed limit reductions in the vicinity of high-speed, signalized intersections equipped with Advance Warning Flashers (AWF). The selected methodology involved a field study of the impact of speed limit reduction at 7 high-speed, signalized intersections with AWF, using quantile regression models developed for speed. The ...

Collisions at rail level crossings (RLXs) are typically high-severity and high-cost, often involving serious injuries, fatalities and major disruptions to the transport network. Most research examining behaviour at RLXs has focused exclusively on drivers and consequently there is little knowledge on how other road users make decisions at RLXs. We collected drivers', motorcyclists', bicyclists' ...
