A unique case report of mulberry second molar in a non-syphilitic patient.

Rationale: The common embryologic neural origin of the ectoderm includes the epidermal layer of the skin and the amelodentinal components of the teeth which can result in numerous diseases damaging both skin and dentition. Three main dental abnormalities were described as a consequence of congenital syphilis: Hutchinson incisors, bud molars, and mulberry molars which usually affect all permanent first molars.

Patient Concerns: As far as we know, this case is the first reported for mulberry second molar in a non-syphilitic patient.

Journal Club: Prehospital Detection of Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke With Electroencephalography: Results of the ELECTRA-STROKE Study.

The ELECTRA-STROKE study investigated the potential of EEG for prehospital triage of patients with ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO), in which fast triage to stroke centers for endovascular treatment is crucial. The study was conducted in 4 phases, and this Journal Club article focuses on the fourth phase in the prehospital setting with suspected stroke patients. An EEG cap with dry electrodes was used to measure brain activity.

Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery-A transient but potentially recurrent disease.

Transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery (TIPIC syndrome) is a rare, unclassified vascular syndrome that usually affects the distal part of the common carotid artery and has a favorable prognosis. The disease is often misdiagnosed even by neurologists due to the moderate intensity of clinical symptoms and their transient character. We present a case of a 52-year-old man who experienced two episodes of transient neck pain and moderate local tenderness one and a half years apart.

Few dental indices in modern Bulgarian population from southern Bulgaria.

Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the reduction of the distal teeth towards the medial ones in one functional dental group in southern Bulgarian population.

Materials And Methods: The study included 232 Bulgarians aged 20-40 years. Mesiodistal dimensions of the teeth were measured by Dentistry Sliding Vernier Caliper and analyzed with SPSS 23.

Central retinal artery occlusion in a patient with sickle cell disease treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator.

Central retinal artery occlusion is a rare ophthalmological complication of sickle cell disease, usually provoked by additional contributing risk factors and its treatment remains controversial. We describe a patient with sickle cell disease and a spontaneous central retinal artery occlusion of his left eye that probably has good result from intravenous thrombolysis. We want to add sickle cell disease as rare etiological cause of central retinal artery occlusion and perpetuate evidence of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator administration in this condition.

Ultrasound fusion imaging system in neurology practice.

The ultrasound fusion imaging (UFI) system is a new promising imaging modality that combines live ultrasound investigations with preregistered CT, MRI, or PET images. In this study, we want to present our initial experience with the new method that combines the transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS) in different insonation planes and the 3T-weighted MRI cerebral images. The study validates the diagnostic capabilities of the system to detect different normal cerebral structures in healthy volunteers.

The role of fibrinogen in acute ischaemic stroke.

Aim: This study aimed to explore associations between fibrinogen and acute ischaemic stroke, neurological impairment, cerebral ischaemia, and clinical evaluation of stroke patients.

Materials And Methods: The study involved 153 patients categorised into two groups: patients with acute ischaemic stroke, and patients with risk factors but who had not had a stroke. Blood samples were collected to analyse the serum level of fibrinogen.

Characteristics of Unstable Carotid Plaques - New Image Modalities.

Ischemic stroke is a socially significant health problem due to high mortality and disability. One of the leading causes for cerebrovascular accidents is the carotid atherosclerosis. The mechanism of its formation presents not only lipid accumulation in the arterial wall but a complex inflammatory disease.

A case of encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis syndrome with epilepsy (Haberland syndrome).

Encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis is a rare congenital neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by scalp, facial, and ocular lesions and multiple intracranial malformations. Approximately 50 cases have been described in the literature. We report a 34-year-old woman with a 6-year history of epilepsy, without mental retardation, with predominantly ipsilateral skin lesions evident at birth, with limbal lipodermoid of the left eye and multiple non-progressive, ipsilateral intracranial structures of soft, cystic components.
