Case report: A Unique Case of Brainstem Anesthesia and Contralateral Amaurosis Following a Sub-Tenon Block.

Purpose: To report and discuss a case of brainstem anesthesia and contralateral amaurosis following a sub-Tenon block.

Methods: Single surgical case report of a patient who underwent an uncomplicated pars plana vitrectomy for an epiretinal membrane peel in the left eye following a sub-Tenon anesthesia technique.

Results: Post-operatively, the patient experienced symptoms of brainstem anesthesia as well as akinesia, a non-reactive pupil, and reduced visual acuity in the contralateral eye which gradually resolved within 24 hours.

Methanol intoxication in the central region of Saudi Arabia: Five case studies.

Outbreaks of methanol poisoning have been described in the medical literature worldwide. However, the few outbreaks that have occurred in Saudi Arabia remain undocumented. This is especially noteworthy in light of the fact that Saudi Arabia is among the countries that explicitly prohibit the usage of alcoholic beverages and recreational drugs.

Corrosion Inhibition of Mild Steel in Hydrochloric Acid Environment Using Terephthaldehyde Based on Schiff Base: Gravimetric, Thermodynamic, and Computational Studies.

Using traditional weight-loss tests, as well as different electrochemical techniques (potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy), we investigated the corrosion-inhibition performance of 2,2′-(1,4-phenylenebis(methanylylidene)) bis(N-(3-methoxyphenyl) hydrazinecarbothioamide) (PMBMH) as an inhibitor for mild steel in a 1 M hydrochloric acid solution. The maximum protection efficacy of 0.0005 M of PMBMH was 95%.

Palivizumab prophylaxis during nosocomial outbreaks of respiratory syncytial virus in a neonatal intensive care unit: predicting effectiveness with an artificial neural network model.

Study Objective: To identify subgroups of premature infants who may benefit from palivizumab prophylaxis during nosocomial outbreaks of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.

Design: Retrospective analysis using an artificial intelligence model.

Setting: Level IIIB, 35-bed, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at a tertiary care hospital in the United Arab Emirates.

Clostridium septicum infection of hepatic metastases following alcohol injection: a case report.

Clostridium septicum infections are generally associated with gastrointestinal or hematologic malignancies. We report the first case of hepatic metastases infection with Clostridium septicum that followed alcohol injection of liver lesion. Clinicians should consider this possibility in patients with underlying malignancy who present with hepatic abscess, as prompt surgical drainage and empiric antibiotics may be life saving.

Season effect on genitalia and epididymal sperm from Iberian red deer, roe deer and Cantabrian chamois.

Seasonality deeply affects the physiology and behavior of many species, and must be taken into account when biological resource banks (BRBs) are established. We have studied the effect of seasonality on many reproductive parameters of free-ranging Iberian red deer, roe deer and Cantabrian chamois, living in Spain. Testicles from hunted animals were collected and sent to our laboratory at different times during the year.
