Emergency radiology: straightening of the cervical spine in MDCT after trauma--a sign of injury or normal variant?

2016

To evaluate whether straightening of the cervical spine (C-spine) alignment after trauma can be considered a significant multidetector CT (MDCT) finding.160 consecutive patients after C-spine trauma admitted to a Level 1 trauma centre received MDCT according to Canadian Cervical Spine Rule and National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study indication rule; subgroups with and without cervical collar immobilization (CCI +/-) were compared with a control group (n = 20) of non-traumatized patients. Two independent readers evaluated retrospectively the alignment, determined the absolute rotational angle of the posterior surface of C2 and C7 (ARA C2-7) and grouped the results for lordosis (-1…

A novel Usher protein network at the periciliary reloading point between molecular transport machineries in vertebrate photoreceptor cells.

2008

Contains fulltext : 69178.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) The human Usher syndrome (USH) is the most frequent cause of combined deaf-blindness. USH is genetically heterogeneous with at least 12 chromosomal loci assigned to three clinical types, USH1-3. Although these USH types exhibit similar phenotypes in human, the corresponding gene products belong to very different protein classes and families. The scaffold protein harmonin (USH1C) was shown to integrate all identified USH1 and USH2 molecules into protein networks. Here, we analyzed a protein network organized in the absence of harmonin by the scaffold proteins SANS (USH1G) and whirlin (USH2D). Immunoelectron microscopic anal…

Conservative Management for Odontoid Cervical Fractures: Halo or Rigid Cervical Collar?

2016

Odontoid fractures are the most common fractures of the cervical spine, especially in the elderly. They account for approximately one third of cervical spine fractures, and with the aging of the world population, the incidence and clinical and social relevance of such pathology are likely to increase. Odontoid fractures may occur from high-energy mechanisms, particularly in younger patients, but low-energy trauma may be the causative factor in the geriatric population. Overall, the treatment of patients with odontoid process fractures is based on the type of the fracture, patient's health status, age, association with neurologic deficits, and personal preference of the surgeon. Relative ind…
