Objective: To quantify the cross-sectional area (CSA) of lumbar dorsal root ganglion (DRG) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and investigate the relationship between the cross-sectional area (CSA) of DRGs and sensory nerve action potentials (SNAP) amplitude in the lower extremities.
Methods: Thirty-eight DRGs (20 L5 roots and 18 S1 roots) in 10 adult subjects were reviewed retrospectively. The CSA of the DRG was calculated from MR images of the coronal plane.
Objective: To assess the clinical outcome of chemical synovectomy with rifampicin in hemophilic arthropathy by using the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) scoring system and plain radiograph.
Methods: We performed rifampicin synovectomy (RS) on 30 joints of 28 hemophilic patients diagnosed as hemophilic arthropathy stage I-III (based on Fernandez-Palazzi clinical classification). Clinical status (bleeding frequency, pain, joint physical status) and radiological staging were evaluated as parts of the WFH scoring system before and 1 year after RS.
Article Synopsis
- A 51-year-old man developed right-sided hemiplegia following a traumatic brain injury, with initial CT scans revealing an acute subdural hemorrhage and significant brain displacement to the left.
- Follow-up MRI showed multiple small bleeding areas in the left side of the brain, raising questions about the cause of the right hemiplegia, given the right-side injury.
- Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used to visualize the corticospinal tract, revealing almost complete damage to the left tract, while motor-evoked potential tests indicated no motor response from the left motor cortex.
Objective: To investigate the relationships between respiratory muscle strength and conventional sarcopenic indices such as skeletal muscle mass and limb muscle strength.
Methods: Eighty-nine young adult volunteers who had no history of medical or musculoskeletal disease were enrolled. Skeletal muscle mass was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis and expressed as a skeletal muscle mass index (SMI).
