Trigeminal neuralgia as a presentation of high cervical stenosis: a systematic review of the literature.

Purpose: An atypical presentation of cervical spondylopathy (CS), trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is attributable to the extension of trigeminal nuclei into the spinal cord and is frequently overlooked, leading to limited discussion with patients regarding potential anterior cervical surgery. Our systematic review assesses the effectiveness of cervical surgery for concurrent trigeminal neuralgia in cases of cervical spondylopathy.

Methods: A systematic review exploring cases of trigeminal neuralgia related to cervical spondylopathy was conducted searching on PubMed, Scopus and Embase databases for article in English.

Assessing deoxynivalenol concentration reduction and mass loss in wheat batches using near infrared hyperspectral imaging.

Deoxynivalenol is a mycotoxin which frequently contaminates wheat and its derived products causing a major concern. In this work a previously developed model was inserted into a prototype desktop application for automated prediction of individual wheat kernels as contaminated over or under the maximum set level in the EU. Using 42 batches to test the system it was observed that in batches contaminated over 1 mg/kg the rejected fraction always contained more deoxynivalenol (mean 8.

Lumbar Disc Herniation and Cauda Equina Syndrome During Pregnancy: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Low back pain is common during pregnancy, affecting up to 76% of women. However, symptomatic lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is rare, occurring in about 1 in 10,000 pregnancies, with less than 2% progressing to cauda equina syndrome (CES). The overlap in symptoms between LDH and typical pregnancy-related conditions complicates both diagnosis and management.

Measurement of Angular Coefficients of B[over ¯]→D^{*}ℓν[over ¯]_{ℓ}: Implications for |V_{cb}| and Tests of Lepton Flavor Universality.

We measure the complete set of angular coefficients J_{i} for exclusive B[over ¯]→D^{*}ℓν[over ¯]_{ℓ} decays (ℓ=e, μ). Our analysis uses the full 711  fb^{-1} Belle dataset with hadronic tag-side reconstruction. The results allow us to extract the form factors describing the B[over ¯]→D^{*} transition and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |V_{cb}|.
