Long-term Follow-up of Two Cases with Spinal Hydatid Cyst Disease and Repeat Surgeries

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.409

ABSTRACT

Hydatid cyst disease (HD) is an infestation caused by the larval stage of the tape worm Echinococcus granulosus. It predominantly occurs in liver and lungs. Bone involvement is quite rare (0.5%-4%); and among those, spinal disease is the most common type (44%-50%).

Synopsis:

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common chronic childhood disease. Diabetic retinopathy, which is not widespread in children with Type 1 diabetes, is one of the leading causes of blindness is developed countries.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of childhood Type 1 diabetes (DM) on ocular parameters.

Ultrasonographic Measurement of the Achilles and Supraspinatus Tendon Thicknesses in Patients with Chronic Lead Exposure

Issue:

Vol 64, Issue 4: September (2015)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.086

Pages:

384–7

Synopsis:

Preliminary results imply that subjects with occupational lead exposure have smaller Achilles tendons than healthy subjects. Chronic lead exposure may affect the tendons due to reduction of collagen synthesis.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The study aimed to assess tendon thickness in patients with chronic occupational lead exposure by using ultrasonography.

Ultrasonographic Measurement of the Femoral Cartilage Thickness in Patients with Behçet’s Disease

Issue:

Vol 63, Issue 7: Dec (2014)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2013.337

Pages:

728–31

Synopsis:

In this study, the femoral cartilage thickness of patients with Behçet’s disease (BD) was evaluated and it was found that the cartilage was thinner in patients with BD and that arthritis seems to be associated with this decrease.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate femoral cartilage thickness in patients with Behçet’s disease (BD) by using ultrasonography.

The Editor,

Sir,

A 55-year-old man was seen for severe neck pain, numbness in his right upper limb and right shoulder limitation for the last 2-3 weeks. His medical history revealed hyperlipidaemia, smoking (10 packs/year) and diabetes mellitus (DM) Type II. He had also been hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis one month ago.

Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Femoral Cartilage Thickness in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis

Issue:

Vol 63, Issue 4: Aug (2014)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2013.221

Pages:

329–32

Synopsis:

In this study, we evaluated femoral cartilage thicknesses of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Our results indicate that AS patients seem to have thicker femoral cartilage, which could be related to anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) treatment.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate femoral cartilage thickness in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by using ultrasonography.
