Guidelines for Diagnosis of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss and Their Specificity.

Objectives: A recent paper by Moore, Lowe and Cox has proposed guidelines for diagnosing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). It is referred to here as the MLC guidelines. Our aim was to assess the specificity of those guidelines (i.

Novel ganglion cell marker B3GNT6: A step forward in Hirschsprung's disease diagnosis.

Hirschsprung's (HSCR) disease, also known as aganglionic megacolon, or congenital intestinal aganglionosis affects roughly 1 out of every 5000 newborns. It is a birth defect characterized by the partial or complete loss of ganglion cells in the myenteric and submucosal plexus of the distal intestine which leads to ineffective peristalsis, constipation, and obstruction. Clinical assessment and radiological observations might imply HSCR disease, but definitive diagnosis requires biopsy interpretation and confirmation of ganglion cell loss.

Case report: Treatment of non-medical tetrahydrocannabinol toxicosis with transmucosal cannabidiol-infused dissolving sheets in six dogs.

Increased cases of canine tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) toxicosis have been reported in North America in recent years. Cases are often evaluated on an emergency basis and treatment has relied upon supportive care which can be costly and prohibitive for some pet owners. The purpose of this report is to describe the clinical findings and outcomes in dogs with non-medical, presumptive THC toxicosis treated by administration of a cannibidiol (CBD)-infused transmucosal dissolving sheet.

Severe Exertional Rhabdomyolysis in a Healthy 24-Year-Old Woman: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Rhabdomyolysis is characterized by the release of muscle cell components into circulation following muscle cell injury. Common causes include trauma and compression, exposure to drugs and toxins, and intense physical exercise. This study depicts a case of exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis following a cycling class.
