Dorsal dislocation of the intermediate cuneiform and isolated medial cuneiform fractures are rare injuries. In this report, we present a patient who sustained a dislocation of the intermediate cuneiform and describe predisposing factors and the treatment procedure.

Objective. To present a unique case report of a Lisfranc fracture in a patient with a bipartite medial cuneiform and to evaluate the prevalence of the bipartite medial cuneiform in a retrospective review of 1000 magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies of the foot. Materials and Methods. Case report followed by a retrospective review of 1000 MR imaging studies of the foot for the presence or abs...

Using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique, the location of gastrin-releasing/bombesin-like immunoreactive fibres and cell bodies in the cat brainstem was studied. A moderate or low density of immunoreactive cell bodies was observed in the nucleus of the brachium of the inferior colliculus, pericentral nucleus of the inferior colliculus, ventral nucleus of the lateral lemniscus and in the ext...

Electrical stimulation of the dorsal regions of the periaqueductal gray (PAG) leads to defensive reactions characterized as freezing and escape responses. Until recently it was thought that this freezing behavior could be due to the recruitment of neural circuits in the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG), while escape would be mediated by other pathways. Nowadays, this view has been chan...

UNLABELLED Patient: Female, 32. FINAL DIAGNOSIS Chondroblastoma. SYMPTOMS Pain. MEDICATION -. CLINICAL PROCEDURE -. SPECIALTY Oncology. OBJECTIVE Unusual clinical course. BACKGROUND 1% of all bone tumors are Chondroblastomas. Chondroblastomas, initially considered to be an osteoclastoma variant are benign, cartilaginous tumors which usually occur in the epiphysis of long bones, es...

BACKGROUND Four cases of plantar dislocation of middle cuneiform have been reported in the english literature. All of them were fresh cases and treated with open reduction. We are reporting a case of neglected plantar dislocation of middle cuneiform which was treated with excision. CASE PRESENTATION A farmer presented with a painful plantar dislocation of middle cuneiform bone after 9 months ...

INTRODUCTION The bipartite medial cuneiform is an uncommon developmental osseous variant in the midfoot. To our knowledge, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) characteristics of a non-symptomatic bipartite medial cuneiform have not been described in the orthopaedic literature. It is important for orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeons, musculoskeletal radiologists, and for podiatrists to identify thi...

To examine the ascending projections from the headache-related trigeminocervical complex in rats, biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) was injected into the ventrolateral dorsal horn of segments C1 and C2, a region previously demonstrated to receive input from sensory nerves in cranial blood vessels. Following injections into laminae I-II, BDA-labelled terminations were found bilaterally in several...

The distribution of adrenocorticotropin hormone/corticotropin-like intermediate lobe peptide was studied in the cat brain stem, using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. No immunoreactive cell bodies were observed. However, a high density of immunoreactive fibers was found in the periaqueductal gray, the dorsal nucleus of the raphe, the locus coeruleus, and the marginal nucleus of the brach...

We present experiments on word segmentation for Akkadian cuneiform, an ancient writing system and a language used for about 3 millennia in the ancient Near East. To our best knowledge, this is the first study of this kind applied to either the Akkadian language or the cuneiform writing system. As a logosyllabic writing system, cuneiform structurally resembles Eastern Asian writing systems, so, ...
