Abstract A 1.5-year-old male Iberian lynx born in captivity presented with a 2.2 cm exophytic nodular alopecic mass at the left tarsus medial aspect, before being released into wild. The lesion had keratinised material protruding through 1.2 pore, forming cutaneous horn. Histopathology revealed cystic dermo-epidermal lined by psoriasiform hyperplasia of epithelium, thicker base cyst, together a...

An axially corrugated horn antenna with an elliptically shaped taper is proposed for satellite communication applications. This structure is a good candidate for the feed of reflectors and also for improving the electrical properties of reflector antennas. A tapering method is used to justify the horizontal location of the corrugation profile which improves the electrical performance of the pre...

Fig 1. Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma and melanocytic nevus (collision tumor). Dermoscopy of the skin-colored papule on the right cheek (clinical detail) disclosed sharply focused, fine arborizing vessels (arrows), mostly at the periphery on a white-ivory background (black asterisk) in the upper half of the lesion and structureless light-brown (white asterisk) in the lower half. Few white clods...

A group of 40 patients with unstable knees due to a combination of a meniscal tear with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament was studied to assess the effects of treatment by meniscectomy alone. The results were assessed both subjectively and objectively, but emphasis was placed on the symptoms rather than the physical signs of instability. Meniscectomy alone cured the symptoms of instab...

Purpose To report a case of seborrheic keratosis of the inner canthus presenting as cutaneous horn. Observation A 67-year-old Asian male presented with a rod-shaped, pedunculated mass on his inner canthus. The mass grew rapidly and within 2 months measured 3.0 cm in length and 0.5 cm in diameter. It was completely excised and submitted for microscopic examination. The specimen consisted of a ...

Chronic pain is classified as nociceptive or neuropathic, depending on whether the integrity of the somatosensory nervous system is compromised by the underlying disease. Nociceptive pain results from the activation of receptors (nociceptors) sensitive to noxious stimuli. Prolonged or intense exposure to these stimuli, for example, chemical mediators released during inflammation, enhances the r...

Background: Ramp lesions are longitudinal of the meniscocapsular complex posterior horn medial meniscus. These poorly recognized, difficult to diagnose, and require specific arthroscopic exploration. typically associated with anterior cruciate ligament rupture have important biomechanical consequences as they result in increased tibial translation external rotation. Suture hook repair through p...

Spinal myoclonus is a rare movement disorder characterized by myoclonic involvement of a group of muscles supplied by a few contiguous segments of the spinal cord. Structural lesions are usually the cause, but in primary spinal myoclonus the etiology remains unknown. We present the case of a 26-year-old woman with cervical spinal myoclonus in which both clinical and electromyographic findings p...

INTRODUCTION Bull horn injuries are severe lesions with a high risk of bacterial contamination, and are common in countries where people are fond of bullfighting and related spectacles. CASE REPORT A 19-year-old man was referred with a penetrating wound in the superior left eyelid produced by a bull horn and resulting in a fracture of the orbital roof and a fat hernia. Prophylactic antibiotic...

The trichilemmal carcinoma is a rare low-grade malignant lesion originating from hair follicle cells that usually occurs on sun-exposed skin of older individuals. A differential diagnostic is required with other skin carcinomas. We report two cases of trichilemmal carcinoma admitted at the Emergency University Hospital of Bucharest, Romania, in 2012, one of these cases being localized in the pe...
