OBJECTIVE To assess the utility of multiphasic perfusion CT in the prediction of final infarct volume, and the relationship between lesion volume revealed by CT imaging and clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients who have not undergone thrombolytic therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-five patients underwent multiphasic perfusion CT within six hours of stroke onset. After baseline...

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between tail lesions, cold carcass weight, and viscera condemnations in an Irish abattoir. The following data were collected at the evisceration point from every third pig slaughtered over 7 days: farm identification, sex, tail lesion score, viscera inspection outcome, and cold carcass weight. Tail lesions were scored according to a 5-point s...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation of white matter lesion (WML) and lacunar infarction (LI) with vascular cognitive impairment. To investigate the correlation of cognitive changes of vascular dementia (VD) patients with lacunar infarction (LI) and white matter lesion (WML). METHODS The clinical data of 60 cases of VD patients were evaluated and analyzed by combining with imageological f...

Clostridium perfringens-associated necrotic enteritis causes significant economic losses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of bismuth citrate, lactose, and organic acid on the development of necrotic enteritis in broilers. The first study was a dose response that evaluated bismuth citrate at 50, 100, or 200 ppm on bacterial intestinal colonization and lesion development as...

• EXCEDE (ceftiofur crystalline free acid) Sterile Suspension controlled bovine respiratory disease (BRD) for up to nine days after administration in a challenge model. • EXCEDE was superior to Micotil (tilmicosin) 300 Injection for lung lesion scores, respiratory scores, and rectal temperature. • Concentrations of ceftiofur and related metabolites were above the efficacy threshold for BRD path...

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...

Introduction: Traditional treatment for papulopustular rosacea (PPR) has been challenged due to systemic side effects or frequent relapses, which necessitates new treatments. Preliminary evidence showed that conventional photodynamic therapy (c-PDT) is an efficient in treating PPR, but the pain and severe hyperpigmentation are urgent need of improvement, while use daylight (DL-PDT) AHA 30% chem...
