Differentiation of Post-Polio Syndrome from Prior Poliomyelitis Sequela by Assessing Paraspinal Muscle Involvement in Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Post-polio syndrome (PPS) affects former polio patients, manifesting decades after initial infection with progressive symptoms like pain, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Diagnosis relies on the clinical criteria and exclusion of other probable causes. The purpose of this study is to determine the scope and new diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying muscle involvement in PPS and distinguishing it from prior poliomyelitis (PPM).

Tortuous occipital emissary vein combined with dural venous sinus stenosis in contrast-enhanced MRV for evaluation of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

Purpose: Venous outflow impediment is increasingly recognized in idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). We aim to search for the value of tortuous occipital emissary vein (OEV) in IIH by integrating measurable transverse sinus (TS) stenosis in contrast-enhanced MR venography (CE-MRV).

Methods: Twenty-one IIH patients were evaluated with CE-MRV.

Adaptive treatment strategy for a vestibular schwannoma in a patient with vascular Eagle syndrome: illustrative case.

Background: Eagle syndrome, an uncommon condition, causes symptoms due to neural and/or vascular compression from an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament and can also complicate other planned surgical procedures.

Observations: A 42-year-old female with loss of balance, dizziness, and ataxic gait underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), revealing a right-sided Koos grade IV vestibular schwannoma. Initially, a retrosigmoid craniotomy for tumor resection was planned.

Occipital emissary vein existence and its impact on the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in pediatric patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of occipital emissary vein (OEV) detection in the diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IHH) in the pediatric age group, and to compare the prevalence and luminal diameter of OEV in patients with IHH and in healthy control subjects.

Methods: Conventional magnetic resonance imaging findings were assessed in the patients with IHH and in healthy control subjects who were under the age of 18, by two observers. The presence and luminal dimension of OEV and transverse sinus stenosis were also evaluated and compared between these two groups with magnetic resonance venography techniques.

Effect of different pasture species on welfare and behavior of slow-growing broiler chickens in free-range production system.

This study investigated the effect of various pasture species on the welfare and behavior of slow-growing broiler chickens in the free-range production system. After 21 days completely indoors, the birds were permitted access to outdoor pens cultivated with one of the following pasture treatments: Medicago sativa (A), Trifolium repens (WC), Lolium perenne (PR), and a mixture (Mix, A + WC + PR). The range availability was restricted between 08:30 and 16:30 daily.

Redefining the morphometry of subclavian vessels for clavicle fracture treatments.

Purpose: Clavicle fractures are common injuries in adults and children. Although neurovascular damage is rarely seen, acute subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms and injuries to subclavian vessels were reported for closed fractures of the clavicle. The aim of this study was to identify the morphological details of the subclavian vessels and their relation to the sternoclavicular joint and body of the clavicle.
