Abstract Trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) neurons that project to the ventral posteromedial thalamic nucleus (VPM) and parabrachial (PBN) are critical for orofacial pain processing. We hypothesized persistent trigeminal nerve injury differentially alters proportion of Vc VPM PBN in a modality-specific manner. Neuroanatomical approaches were used quantify number projecting or after chronic constriction infraorbital (ION-CCI) subsequent upper-lip stimulation. Male rats received...
We investigated the motor recovery mechanism of a stroke patient using functional MRI (fMRI) and diffusion tensor image tractography (DTT).A 60 year-old woman with right corona radiata infarct presented complete paralysis left upper extremity. The function affected extremity recovered slowly for 6 months to point nearly normal function. was evaluated by fMRI DTT at from onset. FMRI performed 1.5 T timed hand grasp-release movements. synergy-L Sensitivity Encoding head coil. Three dimensional...
Peripheral nerve injury can induce neuroplastic changes in the central nervous system and result neuropathic pain. This study investigated functional involvement dorsal paratrigeminal nucleus (dPa5) tractus solitarii (NTS) neurons projecting to parabrachial (PBN) after trigeminal injury. Anatomical quantification was performed based on phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) expression underlying orofacial pain associated with infraorbital chronic constriction (ION-CCI)...
Nasal airway is studied to understand physiological and pathological characteristics of nasal breathing. It difficult segment from Computed Tomography (CT) images because its anatomical complexity. In this paper, we propose a software tool for semi-automatic segmentation airway. The result can be visualized as three dimensional (3D) model. For the segmentation, 3D Region Growing applied recognized by grouping similar pixel values respiratory paths CT images. volume rendering method used...
Using a simple and intuitive method, we evaluated changes in the dimensions of thoracic cavity pectus excavatum (PE) patients following Nuss procedure.We performed retrospective review 141 who had undergone procedure. The was visualized using computed tomography (CT) scans its determined by measuring anteroposterior (AP) transverse (T) diameters at three anatomical landmarks (the jugular notch, manubriosternal xiphisternal joints). Wilcoxon signed-rank test used to compare differences...
A pyogenic granuloma is one of the most common benign tumors in head and neck. However, it rarely occurs external auditory canal (EAC). We report a case that involved both EAC pregnant woman. The clinical manifestation discussed with literature review.
Prefrontal cortex activity is modulated by flavor and taste stimuli changes during swallowing. We hypothesized that in the modulation of prefrontal were associated with swallowing movement evaluated brain patients dysphagia. To evaluate dysphagia swallowing, change oxidized hemoglobin (z-score) was measured near-infrared spectroscopy while healthy controls swallowed sweetened/unsweetened flavored/unflavored jelly. Total z-scores positive flavored/unsweetened jelly negative...
Background Double pectus bars are sometimes inserted to correct excavatum. Method of double-bar fixation prevent bar displacement has been rarely reported. We have used quadrangular the double bars. The objective this study was compare results procedure with those classic separate procedure. Methods From September 2011 January 2016, 86 patients underwent Nuss insertion. In 44 patients, each fixed separately (group A). 42 performed metal plates B). Patient demographics, Haller index (HI),...
The aim of the present study was to investigate contribution Nav1.8 expressing corneal afferent neurons presence ongoing pain in lacrimal gland excision (LGE)-induced dry eye.The proton pump archaerhodopsin-3/eGFP (ArchT/eGFP) conditionally expressed afferents using Nav1.8-cre mice. Dry eye produced by unilateral LGE. Real time place preference assessed a three-chamber apparatus. A neutral, unlit center chamber flanked one illuminated with control light and an ArchT activating light. For...
Background and Objectives Diagnostic features of peritonsillar abscess are an asymmetrically enlarged palatine tonsil with peripheral rim enhancement central low density in the post-contrast computed tomography (CT). Although it is necessary to differentiate tumorous conditions tonsils compare pre- CT, pre-contrast CT may be less useful diagnosis abscess. This study aims evaluate efficacy single for treatment Subjects Method We retrospectively compared 29 patients abscess, who were diagnosed...
Background There have been reports of neurolytic transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block using different agents such as alcohol or phenol for the treatment chronic abdominal pain caused by malignant wall invasion. However, to date, there no on blocks with non-cancer-related origin in cancer patients. Case We performed subcostal TAP neurolysis ethanol a patient esophageal constant at site gastrostomy. After neurolysis, patientâs overall decreased, exception medial part gastrostomy site....
A nasal septal abscess results from the collection of purulent fluid between cartilage bony septum and overlying mucoperichondrium or mucoperiosteum. Unless early diagnosis surgical treatment are performed, serious complications such as cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis, sepsis, saddle nose may occur. We report a case sphenoid sinusitis that occurred after dental implant. 74-year-old female with diabetes liver cirrhosis was referred to hospital for management rapidly aggravated perinasal...
Backgroundï¼To investigate the relationship between clinical grading and electrophysiological parameter in carpal tunnel syndrome. Materials Methodsï¼This studies examined 75 outpatients (100 hands) who were diagnosed as syndrome at neurologic clinic from March to July 2006. They divided into three groups by then each compared with sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) compound action potential (CNAP) amplitude of I-W, F-W, P-W segments, motor terminal latency (TL), muscle (CMAP) distal...
