Utilization of Intraoperative Real-time Three-Dimensional Transoesophageal Echocardiography to Objectively Assess Improvement in Synchronization and Regional Wall Motion after Coronary Reperfusion.

It is well known that myocardial ischemia leads to Regional Wall Motion Abnormalities (RWMAs) and reversible depression of Left Ventricular (LV) systolic function. Transoesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is an established tool for early diagnosis of new RWMAs. However, evaluation of RWMAs by echocardiography is largely qualitative and relies on visual assessment of wall segments.

Partial Kluver-Bucy syndrome secondary to tubercular meningitis.

Tubercular meningitis (TBM) is a devastating extra pulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis and demonstrates a high neurological morbidity. A rare complication of this condition is Kluver-Bucy syndrome (KBS), which is a neurobehavioral disorder characterised by hyper-sexuality, visual agnosia, bulimia, placidity, hyperorality and memory deficits caused by lesions to the amygdala. The amygdala lesions can be due to many causes, including traumatic brain injury, systemic conditions and infections such as tuberculosis.
