Background: The aim of our study was to retrospectively analyze FDG PET/CT data in patients with facial nerve palsy (FNP) for the presence of the monocle sign.
Patients And Methods: A total of 85 patients with unilateral FNP were included into our study, thereof 73 with peripheral FNP and 12 with central FNP. FDG uptake (SUV max , SUV mean , total lesion glycolysis) was measured in both orbicularis oculi muscles (OOMs).
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the use of deferiprone (DFP), an oral iron-chelating drug, in patients with lower risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) who are dependent on red blood cell (RBC) transfusions and suffer from iron overload.
- Eighteen adult patients treated with DFP for 4 months showed significant reductions in oxidative stress markers, including a 58.6% decrease in reactive oxygen species (ROS), and improvements in other parameters like reduced glutathione and lipid peroxidation.
- No cases of agranulocytosis occurred during the study, indicating that DFP was tolerable, and the findings suggest potential benefits of D
Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a multifactorial optic neuropathy, which progresses in a chronic manner. Several etiological factors are involved, including genetic factors, race, age, IOP or vascular, systemic factors. IOP has an established role in the initiation and evolution of glaucoma, but its interactions with additional risk factors are complex.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFThis paper proposes a numerically stable method for modelling a fluid-loaded multilayered cylindrical shell excited by a plane wave, which solves the fd instability problem that is usually observed when using the well-known transfer matrix method (TMM). In the considered modelling, each layer can be either a viscoelastic coating described by a general three-dimensional (3D) elasticity model or an intermediate perfect fluid layer. The transfer matrix of each layer relating the state vector at the layer's two interfaces is estimated with an appropriate standard method.
