INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to explore the association between the cerebro-umbilical ratio measured at 35-37 weeks and intrapartum fetal compromise. METHODS This retrospective cross sectional study was conducted at the Mater Mothers' Hospital in Brisbane, Australia. Maternal demographics and fetal Doppler indices at 35-37 weeks gestation for 1381 women were correlated with intrapar...

The invasion of New York by cerebro-spinal fever in the winter and spring of 1904-5, when some 4,000 cases occurred,1 and the more recent appearance of the disease in Glasgow (March, 1906), in Belfast, and some other districts, invite attention to its causation and prophylaxis. It is generally recognised that a cerebro-spinal meningitis may be set up by various causes, such as disease of the mi...

PURPOSE To determine the relationship between cerebro vascular disease and pseudoexfoliation syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional case control study consisted of 50 patients with ischemic-type cerebro vascular disease and 50 control subjects. All subjects were investigated for diabetes mellitus and hypertension status and underwent a detailed ophthalmic examination. A diagnosi...

1. In the secondary and tertiary stages of syphilis without direct involvement of the nervous system the cerebro-spinal fluid yielded the butyric acid reaction of feeble intensity. The fluid under these conditions gave neither a positive cytodiagnosis nor the Wassermann test for syphilis. 2. The cerebro-spinal fluid of cases of hereditary syphilis showed a positive butyric reaction in about 90 ...

This paper is a record of observations on the transmission and clinical signs of dourine in naturally infected cases of known duration, and of temporal and quantitative aspects of the immune response in blood and cerebro-spinal fluid. Included in the record are observations on the presence of Trypanosoma equiperdum parasites in these body fluids and methods for their detection. There is evidenc...

The cerebellum is one of the most consistent sites of abnormality in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and cerebellar damage is associated with an increased risk of ASD symptoms, suggesting that cerebellar dysfunction may play a crucial role in the etiology of ASD. The cerebellum forms multiple closed-loop circuits with cerebral cortical regions that underpin movement, language, and social process...

We used a commercial enzymatic kit for measuring 7 alpha-hydroxylated bile acids to screen urines from normal subjects, liver-transplant recipients, and patients with various liver diseases, cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome, or cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). Because of their high concentrations of 7 alpha-hydroxylated compounds excreted, the CTX patients were clearly distinguished from all ...

Original Article OBJECTIVE: Dyslipidemia is an abnormal amount of lipids elevation in serum leads to hyperlipidemias (Hypercholesterolemia and Hypertriglyceredemia), which intern predisposes atherosclerosis and than triggers cardiovascular and cerebro vascular complications.The purpose of this case-control study was to corelate lipid patterns in Prediabetic and diabetic patients to non diabetic...
