Article Synopsis
- Traumatic injuries of the upper limb often result in both nerve and vascular damage due to the close proximity of major vessels and nerves, and timely diagnosis of complications like pseudoaneurysms is crucial.
- A study reviewed cases of upper limb trauma over two years, utilizing a combined ultrasound imaging and neurophysiological approach to assess nerve injuries, including two specific late-onset vascular complication cases.
- The findings highlight the enhanced diagnostic accuracy achieved when combining electrophysiology with ultrasonography for assessing nerve injuries, suggesting the need for more extensive studies to validate these promising results.
Background: Patients with age-related white matter changes (ARWMC) frequently present a gait disorder, depression and cognitive impairment. Our aims are to define which alterations in the gait parameters are associated with motor or neuro-psychological impairment and to assess the role of motor, mood or cognitive dysfunction in explaining the variance of the gait parameters.
Methods: Patients with gait disorders admitted to a Neuro-rehabilitation Department, affected by vascular leukoencephalopathy who had ARWMC confirmed by a brain MRI, were consecutively enrolled, classified by a neuroradiological scale (Fazekas 1987) and compared to healthy controls.
Mirizzi's syndrome is a rare, but well described cause of obstructive jaundice which occurs in less than 1% of patients presenting for cholecystectomy. The syndrome is due to a stone impacted in the cystic duct or in the neck of gallbladder, causing compression or obstruction of the common emphatic duct. The clinic, physiopathologic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this disease are described.
