Course and Treatment of a Rare Neurological Sequelae After COVID-19: Miller Fisher Syndrome.

Reports of COVID-19 infection detailing its symptoms and outcomes point to its effects systemically, including that of the nervous system, such as the rare Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS). In this report, we identified a 43-year-old Caribbean man who arrived in the USA with ataxia and ascending bilateral lower extremity weakness after COVID-19 infection. Before arrival, the patient was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).

Isolated Pneumopericardium: A Rare Complication Secondary to COVID-19 Infection.

Pneumopericardium in the setting of COVID-19 is a rare incident. Typically, COVID-19 manifests with respiratory failure, cytokine storm, and gastrointestinal and cardiac symptoms. Chest X-ray (CXR) shows patchy peripheral opacities in bilateral lung fields and computed tomography (CT) shows multifocal ground-glass opacities in a COVID-19 patient.

Evidence of Post-COVID-19 Transverse Myelitis Demyelination.

The COVID-19 infection is associated with neurological complications involving both the central and peripheral nervous systems. We present a case of a healthy 36-year-old woman who developed symptoms of transverse myelitis (TM) four weeks following a positive COVID-19 infection. She presented with severe fatigue, bilateral lower extremity ascending tingling, progressive muscle weakness, diminished sensation to pain, temperature and vibration, hyperreflexia, and neurogenic bladder.

Multidimensional mechanisms of metformin in cancer treatment.

Metformin has been in clinical use for more than half a century, yet its molecular mechanism of action is not entirely understood. Metformin has been shown to have antiproliferative and synergistic effects on various types of cancers. The anticancer effects of metformin are potentially applicable to both diabetic and nondiabetic patients.

Comparing the left and right Whitnall's tubercles and their relation to the frontozygomatic suture: Application to symmetry following lateral orbital surgery.

We compare, on left and right side of human skulls, the length of Whitnall's tubercle as a relevant landmark and anchor point for the lateral retinaculum. Twenty human skulls were used in this study. A caliper was used to measure the length of Whitnall's tubercle, the distance from Whitnall's tubercle to the frontozygomatic suture and the height of the orbit.

History of cardiac anatomy: a comprehensive review from the Egyptians to today.

The nature, function, and anatomy of the heart have been extensively studied since 3500 B.C. Greek and Egyptian science developed a basic understanding of the heart, although this was primarily related to religious beliefs.

Comprehensive anatomical and immunohistochemical review of the innervation of the human spine and joints with application to an improved understanding of back pain.

Background: Pain of spinal origin contributes significantly to cervical, thoracic, and lower back pain presentations. Such pain originates in the nerve fibers supplying the joints or the surrounding ligaments and intervertebral discs. Although there has been little detailed discussion of spinal bony innervation patterns in the literature, the clinical implications of these patterns are anatomically and medically significant.
