HABIT training in unilateral spastic cerebral palsy children having mirror movement disorder.

The single-arm feasibility study was planned to evaluate the therapeutic effect of hand arm bimanual intensive training in improving the fine and gross motor functions of hand, and in the reduction of intensity with respect to mirror movement disorder. The sample comprised unilateral spastic cerebral palsy children aged 6-16 years who were having mirror movement disorder and were able to make a gross grip. The hand arm bimanual intensive training was provided to the participants for 6 hours per day for 15 days for a total of 90 hours.

Duodenal stricture secondary to IgG4-related chronic sclerosing duodenitis-A case report with review of the literature.

Key Clinical Message: This case highlights the importance of a definite diagnosis of an IgG4-related chronic sclerosing duodenitis based on histological and radiological findings to rule out any malignancy in the mass. While dealing with patients having concentric duodenal thickening resulting in stricture formation, one should think of inflammatory etiology as well. IgG4-related disease is one of these inflammatory disorders where we see soft tissue thickening without a large mass or any associated lymphadenopathy as in our case.

Pseudoaneurysm of cystic artery stump after laparoscopic cholecystectomy managed successfully with branch hepatic artery embolization using jail technique.

An unusual manifestation caused by cholecystitis, infection, or iatrogenic damage after cholecystectomy is a pseudoaneurysm of the cystic artery. We report this rare illness in a 64-year-old man who visited the emergency room with hematemesis and anemia. The patient initially experienced acute cholecystitis and then underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy following which he developed a cystic artery pseudoaneurysm, secondary to infected fluid collection.

IgG4-related inflammatory pancreatic head pseudotumor mirrors pancreatic head tumor: A novel case series with a review of the literature.

Key Clinical Message: In this noteworthy case series regarding pancreatic pseudo tumors, we intend to spread knowledge among physicians for the diagnostic and therapeutic approach and eventual disease prognosis.

Abstract: Inflammatory pseudotumor of pancreatic head greatly mimics pancreatic head tumor. One of them is IgG4-related pancreatic disease, which is commonly mistaken as neoplastic disease on imaging.

Effect of constraint-induced movement therapy in reducing severity of mirror movements in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy.

To determine the effec t of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT ) in improving hand function and reduction in severity of mirror movements in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy who have mirror movement disorder. Spastic hemiplegic CP children of either gender, aged 6 to 16 years, with mirror movements of grade 1 and 2 who were able to make a gross grip, were included in this single arm feasibility study. CIMT was provided as an intervention to these children for six hours per day for 15 consecutive week days.
