Role of MRI-US Fusion Biopsy in Diagnosing Prostatic Cancer.

Reaching a histologic diagnosis of prostatic cancer (CaP) is central to its treatment and outcome. Preoperative transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsies miss 25-40% of higher grade CaP found in post prostatectomy specimen. MRI-US fusion biopsy technique is a technological advance with software based integration of prior MRI images and real time TRUS to improvise the prostatic biopsy yield.

Two-dimensional morphometric analysis of young Asian females to determine attractiveness.

Introduction: Attractive people do not seem to consistently possess such ideal characteristics or share common features. There is no general consensus about the linear and angular characteristics that discriminate between attractive and normal persons.

Aim: This study determines how young Asian women considered to be attractive differ in their twodimensional facial characteristics from normal women of the same age and race.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease: a rare but important differential diagnosis for lymphadenopathy.

A 23-year-old man presented with a 6-week history of fevers, cervical lymphadenopathy and fatigue. A CT of the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis showed left cervical lymphadenopathy, enlarged lymph nodes in the axilla and groin and hepatomegaly. A left cervical excisional lymph node biopsy was undertaken and the histopathological findings were consistent with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease.

Pain in trigeminal neuralgia: neurophysiology and measurement: a comprehensive review.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is defined as sudden, usually unilateral, severe, brief, stabbing recurrent episodes of pain within the distribution of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve. It is the most frequent cranial neuralgia, the incidence being 1 per 1,000,00 persons per year. Pain attacks start abruptly and last several seconds but may persist 1 to 2 minutes.
