Trigeminal nucleus caudalis anatomy: guidance for radiofrequency dorsal root entry zone lesioning.
Stereotact Funct Neurosurg
December 2010
Object: This study seeks to improve the accuracy of trigeminal nucleus caudalis dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) radiofrequency lesioning by quantifying the size and orientation of the nucleus caudalis.
Methods: Using serial axial photographs of 6 formalin-fixed cadaver brainstems, digital nucleus caudalis measurements were taken at 1-mm intervals from the level of the obex to the C(2) dorsal nerve roots.
Results: From the obex to the C(2) dorsal nerve roots, the nucleus caudalis decreases in width (from 2.
Article Synopsis
- Rash is typically not associated with malaria, but two cases of acute falciparum malaria in Mozambique showed pruritic rashes in non-immune patients.
- One patient had a classic urticaria rash, while the other presented with a pruritic papular rash, suggesting rashes can occur with malaria.
- Literature review indicates that similar rash presentations have been documented worldwide, prompting physicians to consider malaria in patients with rashes who have a history of exposure to the disease.
Article Synopsis
- A patient with severe cholera and falciparum malaria was successfully treated with oral co-artemether in Mozambique.
- Parasite clearance was achieved within three days of treatment.
- This finding suggests that oral artemether can effectively treat malaria even in patients with severe diarrhea, which is important for resource-limited tropical regions.
