Monostotic Scapular Caffey Disease: A Case Report With MRI Correlate.

Caffey disease, also referred to as infantile cortical hyperostosis, is a self-limiting inflammatory disease of bone, typically diagnosed in infancy (ages less than five months). This disease is characterized by asymmetric, often polyostotic bony hyperostosis and expansion, with a predilection for the mandible (70-90%). We present a unique case of a two-month-old boy with monostotic scapular hyperostosis.

Vaccination coverage and breakthrough infections of COVID-19 during the second wave among staff of selected medical institutions in India.

India experienced the second wave of SARS-CoV-2 infection from April 3 to June 10, 2021. During the second wave, Delta variant B.1617.

Environmental concerns of financial inclusion and economic policy uncertainty in the era of globalization: evidence from low & high globalized OECD economies.

Environmental consequences of financial aspects, policy uncertainties and rapid globalization is the topic of intense debate in present years. However, this study contribute to existing literature in an innovative way. We classified the 33 OECD economies in two group's lower globalized economies (LGE) and highly globalized economies (HGE), based on their level of globalization.

Hemosuccus Pancreaticus in Chronic Pancreatitis: An Uncommon Cause of Gastrointestinal Bleeding.

We present a case of a 69-year-old female who arrived in hemorrhagic shock with symptoms of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Imaging on admission was diagnostic of a large splenic artery pseudoaneurysm, which was presumed to have bled into the pancreatic duct given clinical symptoms of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated with coil embolization resulting in resolution of clinical symptoms.

Patients with falls from standing height and head or neck injury may not require body CT in the absence of signs or symptoms of body injury.

Purpose: To determine the rate of clinically impactful body injury among patients who had a fall from standing height with an associated head/neck injury, but without evidence of body injury on physical exam or plain radiographs. We also examine surgical/endovascular intervention related to body injury and mortality rates for head/neck and body injury.

Methods: Retrospective study of 288 patients with CT evidence of acute head/neck injury that underwent body CT despite the absence of clinical or radiographic evidence of body injury.

Giant subserosal myoma causing deep venous thrombosis in a patient with pre-existing May-Thurner syndrome.

One of the rare sequelae of large pelvic masses is direct compression of the inferior vena cava with formation of a deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Although uncommon, multiple cases of thrombosis secondary to pelvic mass compression of the venous system have been reported in the literature. However, our patient showed a disproportionate degree of thrombus and subsequent postthrombotic stricture/stenosis limited to the left iliofemoral system, sparing the right side.

Prophylactic absorbable gelatin sponge embolization for angiographically occult splenic hemorrhage.

Nonoperative management of traumatic splenic hemorrhage includes the targeted administration of embolic agents. In certain instances where computed tomography angiography cannot exclude a bleed, prophylactic embolization with absorbable gelatin sponge has been used. In this retrospective case series review, we characterized the demographic data and clinical outcomes associated with 4 patients who underwent prophylactic transarterial splenic artery embolization after blunt abdominal trauma.

Successful sclerotherapy of a recurrent, benign parotid cyst.

Benign parotid lesions can grow to be a cosmetic deformation with psychological sequelae for a patient. Although surgical resection is the treatment of choice, cyst aspiration has also been attempted. This, however, has been shown to recur, requiring repeat intervention.

Assessment of psychological problems in schoolgoing adolescents of Aligarh.

Background: Adolescence is a period of physical, nutritional, and sexual transition, also remarkable for the accompanying psychological changes. Worldwide, 20% of children and adolescents suffer from a disabling mental illness. Therefore, knowledge of the prevalence of these disorders can be used to design intervention strategies.

A Unique Occurrence During Treatment of an Intraoral Arteriovenous Malformation: A Case Report and Discussion.

This is the report of a case of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the tongue in a 13-year-old female patient. The clinical course is outlined; an intraoperative dilemma is discussed; and a review of the literature is presented. Vascular lesions demand heightened attention by all practitioners throughout the planning and diagnostic phase, during surgical treatment, as well as postoperatively.

Spontaneous tibioperoneal trunk and anterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysms.

Aneurysms of the tibioperoneal trunk and anterior tibial artery are extremely rare. There are only a few case reports of this entity, for which the majority are secondary to prior trauma or bacteremia and endocarditis. We describe a case of spontaneous pseudoaneurysms of the right anterior tibial artery and tibioperoneal trunk.

Retrospective analysis of local sensorimotor deficits after radial artery harvesting for coronary artery bypass grafting.

Objectives: The radial artery (RA) has gained widespread acceptance as a conduit for coronary artery bypass. We analyze patient-based data to determine risk factors for long-term upper limb morbidities associated with RA harvest for coronary artery bypass grafting.

Study Design/methods: Between April 1997 and March 2004, a total of 1030 patients underwent RA harvesting for coronary artery bypass grafting for a total of 1704 harvest sites.

Clinical outcomes of 84 children with congenital heart disease managed with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation after cardiac surgery.

The purpose of our research was to study the clinical outcomes of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support after cardiac surgery at a tertiary care children's hospital. Retrospective review of all patients with CHD who required postcardiotomy ECMO between January 2001 and September 2004 (45 months) was undertaken. Various outcome predictors were tested for any association with survival to hospital discharge using univariate analysis.

Functional characterization of mouse alpha4beta2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors stably expressed in HEK293T cells.

Mouse alpha4beta2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAchRs) were stably expressed in HEK293T cells. The function of this stable cell line, termed mmalpha4beta2, was assessed using an aequorin-based luminescence method that measures agonist-evoked changes in intracellular calcium. Agonist-elicited changes in intracellular calcium were due primarily to direct entry of calcium through the alpha4beta2 channel, although release of calcium from intracellular stores contributed approximately 28% of the agonist-evoked response.
