Pure Motor Stroke Secondary to Cerebral Infarction of Recurrent Artery of Heubner after Mild Head Trauma: A Case Report.

Background: The recurrent Heubner's artery is the distal part of the medial striate artery. Occlusion of the recurrent artery of Heubner, classically contralateral hemiparesis with fasciobrachiocrural predominance, is attributed to the occlusion of the recurrent artery of Heubner and is widely known as a stroke syndrome in adults. However, isolated occlusion of the deep perforating arteries following mild head trauma also occurs extremely rarely in childhood.

Structural, Morphological and Optical Properties of Well-Ordered CdO Nanostructures Synthesized by Easy-Economical Chemical Bath Deposition Technique.

In this Study, Cadmium Oxide (CdO) nanostructures were synthesized by using Chemical Bath Deposition Technique. The synthesized process was carried out at room temperature. The structural and optical properties of nanostructures was characterized by XRD, SEM and UV-Vis techniques.

A case with rheumatod arthritis and atraumatic odontoid fracture: disappearence of bony landmarks.

We aim to draw attention to occult, atraumatic fractures of the odontoid process in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to underline difficulties encountered during clinical and radiological diagnosis. A forty-seven years old man with RA for 4 years had occipital pain for 1 year without any history of trauma. Later, he developed weakness in the upper extremities, but he did not realize weakness in the lower extremities due to deformities.

Management of medically intractable genitofemoral and ilioingunal neuralgia.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of invasive procedures in medically intractable genitofemoral and ilioingunal neuralgia.

Material And Methods: This is a prospective study of 20 patients with genitofemoral and ilioinguinal neuralgias who were treated at our medical center between 2007 and 2011. Genitofemoral and ilioinguinal nerve blocks were performed in all cases after medical treatment had failed to alleviate the patients' pain.

Application of ATC/DDD methodology to evaluate perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis.

Objective: To evaluate quality of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) and to calculate the cost per procedure in a Turkish university hospital.

Setting: A 352-bed teaching hospital in Denizli, Turkey.

Method: An prospective audit was performed between July and October 2010.
