These electrodes are then connected with the opposite poles of an ordinary Bunseh's battery of 12 elements. Instantly a very fine crepitation is heard, and a froth is formed round the two electrodes where they pierce the skin, by the escape of very small bubbles of gas. At...

Unilateral and bilateral involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and subsequent growth disturbance of the mandibula is a common feature in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The prevalence varies between 17% and 87% depending on the subtype of JIA. No conclusive measures for local disease activity are found. Arthritis of the TMJ is usually not associated with pain, and clinical signa...

Multiplanar or global laxity in arthritic knee is rare, most of this patients have neuromuscular disorder (post poliomyelitis, spinal dystrophy) or history of knee trauma. Ligament insufficiency and severe bone loss is significant in this patient. The estimated prevalence for the concurrence of charcot marie-tooth (CMT) with myasthenia gravis (MG) suggests an extremely rare event. We have prese...

Histoplasmosis is a mild self-limiting respiratory illness in immune-competent individuals. It disseminates in immune-suppressed states like patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, haematological malignancies, post transplant states and patients receiving immunesuppressive therapy. Here we report a case of disseminated histoplasmosis in a 45 year old diabetic, returning work...

Acromioclavicular dislocation (AC dislocation) is a common injury of the shoulder. In contrast to a traumatic cause, nontraumatic dislocation is very rare. We report on a 17-year-old female that presented with voluntary recurrent dislocation of the right AC joint followed by recurrent pain without instability of the ipsilateral shoulder.

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a form of severe antibody deficiency with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 25,000 to 1 in 100,000. The disorder apparently results from currently undefined immune deregulations resulting in failed B-cell differentiation with impaired secretion of immunoglobulins. A 5-year female presented with fever, cough and shortness of breath at rest. Past medical h...

On examination he had swollen, unstable, painless right elbow with weakness in hand. Active flexion was possible from 25 to 100 degrees with palpable and audible crepitation. Range of supination and pronation was severly restricted. There was weakness of the interosseous muscles and digital flexors of the ipsilateral hand.
