E. P. became profoundly amnesic in 1992 after viral encephalitis, which damaged his medial temporal lobe bilaterally. Because of the rarity of such patients, we have performed a detailed neuroanatomical analysis of E. P.'s lesion using magnetic resonance imaging, and we have assessed his cognitive abilities with a wide range of neuropsychological tests. Finally, we have compared and contrasted ...

the histopathologic diagnosis of orbital and ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative lesions is difficult, resulting controversy in classification, determining benignity or malignancy of them and treatment modality selection. we designed the following study to evaluate clinical, histopathologic and if necessary immunochemical features of them in decreasing indeterminate cases. the study includes 51 ...

introduction: striae distensae (sd) are a frequent skin condition for which treatment remains a challenge. the 1540-nm non-ablative fractional laser (star lux 500) has been shown to improve atrophic scars by increasing the amount of dermal collagen. to assess the safety and efficacy of the star lux 500 laser in the treatment of mature hypopigmented striae in persian people (striae alba). method...

this case is a 19-year-old soldier who suffered a combined elbow dislocation and posterior monteggia fracture and dislocation (type ii). the ulna fracture was managed by orif. the elbow dislocation was managed by closed reduction and immobilization in 900 flexion. the posteriorly dislocated radial head was kept reduced by a transarticular pin. after 6 months elbow and forearm motion was restric...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate whether arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can reliably quantify perfusion deficit as compared to dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion MRI. METHODS Thirty-nine patients with acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation territory were recruited. All underwent ASL and DSC MRI perfusion scans wi...
