The aim of our study was to evaluate whether hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) was an effective therapy for neonatal hypoxic ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Seven-day-old rat pups were divided into 3 groups: sham, hypoxia-ischemia (HI) control and HI-HBO group. HBO was administered for HI rats daily. The pathologic changes in brain tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) staining. The immunoh...

Male guinea pigs show high susceptibility to Burkholderia mallei and have been used as animal models in glanders studies. The purpose of our study was to elucidate glanders comparative pathogenesis in guinea pigs. We present here the histological changes and bacterial isolation that develop over time in guinea pigs inoculated intraperitoneally (IP) with two strain of B. mallei. Ten male guinea ...

Patients with major endocrine disorders frequently experience significant changes in mood and mentation. Similarly, many individuals presenting as psychiatric patients have pathologic alterations in neuroendocrine function. Although pathognomic behavioral changes are rare, increased recognition of characteristic symptom complexes may lead to earlier diagnosis and improved treatment planning.

Dysfunction of the tibialis posterior tendon evolves through a series of stages. The pain symptoms, clinical signs, and roentgenographic changes for each of these stages are characteristic. This staging system permits clarification and individualization of dysfunction, expected pathologic changes, and surgical treatment. The importance of the tibialis posterior tendon in normal hindfoot functio...

The authors present two biopsy-proved cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. MR appears to be more sensitive than CT in detecting pathologic changes; signal abnormalities, when found, are predominantly within gray matter and may involve only peripheral cortex.

Chorea-the term itself is a rather peculiar one. The word chorea is derived from the Greek word for dance and originally was applied to describe the dancelike gait of the dancing mania, a hysterical disorder of the late Middle Ages. The term is now used to describe an entire class of abnormal spontaneous movements. Each of these movements is a single, isolated muscle action: a short, rapid , un...
