Parry Romberg Syndrome with localized scleroderma: a case report
2014
Parry Romberg syndrome(PRS) is a rare acquired poorly understood neurocutaneous syndrome of unknown etiology characterized by slow progressive atrophic changes commonly affecting one half of the face. The exact incidence and etiology towards the syndrome remains unclear. Apart from the multifactorial etiology proposed, the possible primary cause is mainly attributed to the cerebral disturbance of the fat metabolism. The syndrome overlaps with “en coup de sabre” morphea, with an ill defined relationship existing between the two. Parry Romberg Syndrome is an invalidating lesion that may be associated with different neurological, cutaneous, ocular, dental and autoimmune abnormalities. This rep…
Übergewicht und Adipositas in Kindheit und Jugend
2010
Einführend wird auf wesentliche Entwicklungsaspekte der interessierenden Lebensphasen Kindheit und Jugend eingegangen. Im Anschluss daran werden verschiedene Aspekte von Übergewicht und Adipositas in Kindheit und Jugend thematisiert. Neben der Definition und Diagnostik, wird auf Möglichkeiten der Klassifikation sowie die Epidemiologie eingegangen. Dargestellt werden darüber hinaus körperliche und psychische Folgestörungen, welche mit Adipositas assoziiert sein können. Basierend auf der Annahme einer multifaktoriellen Adipositasgenese, werden die verursachenden bzw. aufrechterhaltenden Faktoren beschrieben. Neben den genetischen und biologischen Risikofaktoren, wird die Bedeutung verschieden…
Moderate and severe depression
2000
Background: Despite its importance, no distinction between moderate and severe depression using the Montgomery–Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) based on a direct comparison with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) is available. Methods: HAMD-17 and MADRS ratings from N=40 at least moderately depressed inpatients with major depression (DSM-III-R) were analyzed. Linear and non-parametric correlations were computed and a MADRS cut-off score for severe depression using an HAMD-17 score of at least 28 points as reference was estimated. Results: HAMD-17 and MADRS mean scores were 24.6±4.3 and 32.6±5.0 points, respectively. Linear correlation of both scores was r=0.70 (P<0.0005). …
Morphea en coup de sabre and hemifacial atrophy in an interdisciplinary approach
2020
The increase in the degree of fluctuation asymmetry is accompanied, among others, by diseases such as morphea en coup de sabre (morphea ECDS) or Parry‑Romberg syndrome (PHA). Patients suffering from them struggle not only with dermatological defects, but also with neurological, rheumatological, orthopedic, ophthalmological and dental symptoms. Morphological and functional disorders and craniofacial deformities related to them often generate psychosocial problems. The complexity of the issues to be solved proves the necessity of undertaking interdisciplinary actions aimed at developing objective diagnostic and therapeutic protocols, restoring (especially in pediatric patients) as close as po…
[Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (Grönblad-Strandberg syndrome) and rheumatoid arthritis].
1990
A 72-year-old woman, not previously known to have coronary heart disease, was admitted to hospital with an acute anterior wall myocardial infarction. The history revealed that, when about 40 years of age, a coarse skin-fold and yellowish-white xanthoma-like efflorescences had been noted around her umbilicus, the inguinal regions and axillae. These changes subsequently developed into a pathognomonic picture of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PE), which was a significant factor in the myocardial infarction. At the age of 69 years, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), stage II after Steinbrocker, had been diagnosed on the basis of morning stiffness, symmetrical arthritis in more than three joint regions and t…
Assoziation einer arteriellen Verschlußkrankheit mit Ciclosporin-Therapie nach Nierentransplantation
2008
Renal transplantation followed by immunosuppression with cyclosporine (whole-blood levels 200-300 micrograms/l) and methylprednisolone (4 mg daily) was performed in a 54-year-old man with chronic glomerulonephritis. Three years later rapidly progressive arterial obstructive disease (peripheral type) developed. Parenteral treatment with prostaglandins, calcium antagonists and nitrates, as well as a lumbar sympathectomy, was unsuccessful so that, in rapid succession, several amputations on upper and lower limbs became necessary. The disease progression was arrested only when azathioprine replaced cyclosporine. Raynaud's phenomenon, present at the time, also disappeared and analgesics were no …
Immediate Effects of Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Postural Stability Using Computerized Dynamic Posturography in People With Chr…
2020
Postural stability is commonly decreased in individuals with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis due to multisystemic deficits. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive method to modulate cortical excitability, inducing neuroplastic changes to the targeted cortical areas and has been suggested to potentially improve motor functions in individuals with neurological impairments. The purpose of this double-blinded, sham-controlled study was to examine the acute effects of anodal tDCS over the lesioned motor cortex leg area with concurrent limits of stability training on postural control in individuals with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis. Ten individuals with chronic post-s…

Web-sovellus ohjelmoijien motivaation ja motivaatio-ongelmien kartoittamiseen ja korjaamiseen
2017
Tämä tutkielma pyrkii antamaan vastauksen siihen, kuinka voidaan toteuttaa www-sovellus, jolla voidaan mitata ja analysoida ohjelmoijien motivaatiota organisaatiossa ja kuinka voidaan laatia motivaatiosuunnitelma heikkojen motivaatioalueiden korjaamiseksi. Työn teoriaosuudessa käsitellään ensin taustateoriaa työtyytyväisyydestä ja motivaatiosta ja käydään läpi eräitä tärkeitä motivaatiomalleja. Tämän jälkeen valitaan kaksi motivaatiomallia, joille laaditaan toiminnalliset määrittelyt, joilla ne on mahdollista muuntaa mitattavaan ja laskettavaan muotoon. Teoriaosuudessa esitetään myös, kuinka motivaatiosuunnitelma tehdään ja kuinka voidaan laatia motivaatiota korjaavia toimenpiteitä. Teoriao…
Natural Addition of Ordinals
2019
Summary In [3] the existence of the Cantor normal form of ordinals was proven in the Mizar system [6]. In this article its uniqueness is proven and then used to formalize the natural sum of ordinals.
