Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the penis: a case report and review of the literature.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare soft tissue sarcomas that arise from peripheral nerve fibers and are derived from Schwann cells, perineural cells, or fibroblasts. MPNST is an aggressive neoplasm in which local recurrence is…

Inflammatory sacroiliac joint pathology: evaluation of radiologic assessment techniques.

Recognition of sacroiliac disease has been integral to arthritis diagnostic approaches. However, intra- and inter-observer variation have been recognized as limiting factors in radiologic assessment of the sacroiliac joint. The assumption that such…

Epidemiologic study of tumors in dinosaurs.

Occasional reports in isolated fragments of dinosaur bones have suggested that tumors might represent a population phenomenon. Previous study of humans has demonstrated that vertebral radiology is a powerful diagnostic tool for population screening.…

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound detection and treatment guidance in a renal transplant patient with renal cell carcinoma.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is an imaging modality that shows promise in the detection and characterization of renal masses, as well as treatment through CEUS-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. These techniques may be…

The otolithic organ as a receptor of vestibular hearing revealed by vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials in patients with inner ear anomalies.

The human vestibule has preserved an ancestral sound sensitivity and it has been suggested that a reflex could originate from this property underlying cervical muscle micro-contractions secondary to strong acoustic stimulation. Previous studies have…

Vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials in three patients with large vestibular aqueduct.

An enlarged vestibular aqueduct (LVA) is a common congenital inner ear anomaly responsible for some unusual vestibular and audiological symptoms. Most of the cases show bilateral early onset and progressive hearing loss in children. The gross…

Malignancy in horseshoe kidney.

We have reported two cases of adenocarcinoma in a horseshoe kidney and their successful surgical treatment. Review of the literature suggests that transitional cell carcinoma and Wilms' tumor are seen more often than adenocarcinoma in horseshoe…

Congenital solid neck mass: a unique presentation of Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) presenting in the neonatal period is very rare. In most cases, a self-limited cutaneous disease is the exclusive manifestation. We report an unusual case of neonatal LCH presenting with a large congenital solid…

Mediastinal mass in a 25-year-old man.

A 25-year-old black man presented with left-sided chest pain and cough for 3 days. His pain was pressure-like and nonradiating and was aggravated with movement and relieved when the patient lay at a 45 degrees angle. The patient denied fevers,…

A three-dimensional digital neurological atlas of the mustached bat (Pteronotus parnellii).

Substantial knowledge of auditory processing within mammalian nervous systems emerged from neurophysiological studies of the mustached bat (Pteronotus parnellii). This highly social and vocal species retrieves precise information about the velocity…

Antibiotics for Acute Appendicitis.

The article reports that patients with uncomplicated acute appendicitis can fair well without surgery as compared to clinical trial patients who underwent surgery, and states that patients had lower risk of complications during the one-year follow-up…

Anatomical Look Into OnabotulinumtoxinA Injection for Chronic Migraine Headache.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: While existing studies about onabotulinumtoxinA for chronic migraines have focused on injection location and appropriate dosing, little consideration has been given to patient body habitus and its potential impact on…

Limb bone morphology, bone strength, and cursoriality in lagomorphs.

The primary aim of this study is to broadly evaluate the relationship between cursoriality (i.e. anatomical and physiological specialization for running) and limb bone morphology in lagomorphs. Relative to most previous studies of cursoriality, our…

CT-guided stabilization for chronic sacroiliac pain: A preliminary report

Background: We evaluated a percutaneous, computed tomographic, stabilization from S1 to S2, for chronic painful sacroiliac disease. Our hypothesis was that this technique carries low morbidity, and may provide substantial relief of recalcitrant…
