Objective: To explore the correlation between posterior fossa crowding and the occurrence of classical trigeminal neuralgia (TN).
Methods: A total of 60 patients diagnosed with classical TN and 60 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were included as a control group for a case-control study. All subjects underwent high-resolution 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations (including 3D-FIESTA and 3D-TOF MRA sequences).
Background: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is one of the common complications of end-stage renal disease-uremia, and is mainly manifested as parathyroid hyperplasia and abnormal secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Objective: To investigate the value and advantages of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in evaluating the survival of autografts after parathyroidectomy + parathyroid autotransplantation.
Methods: In this study, 125 patients with renal failure due to polycystic kidney disease, chronic nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, lupus nephritis, and atherosclerotic nephropathy were enrolled as the participants and each of them had 4 secondary hyperactive parathyroid glands and underwent parathyroid autotransplantation.
Purpose: Spectators have a significant impact on match performances in soccer, but to what extent crowd support contributes to the technical and physical performances remains unclear. This study aimed to (1) investigate the differences in terms of technical and physical performances with and without spectators; and (2) identify the key factors differentiating between win and loss when playing with and without the presence of an audience.
Methods: Our study examined 794 performance records from 397 matches during the 2019-2020 seasons in the Chinese Soccer Super League.
