Abstract A peripheral nerve tuberculoma, the third on record, involved the ulnar nerve, as did the other two. This case report is followed by a discussion of the pathogenesis and diagnosis of this lesion. Its pathogenesis is unclear. Direct infection from a tuberculous sister was disproved, and infection via a local wound is highly unlikely. A previous, silent form of tuberculosis seems to have been the cause.

ABSTRACT Paranasal sinus anatomical anomalies with unknown etiology are common. Paranasal sinus-related diseases are associated with so high rate of morbidities, it becomes essential to identify the structure and pathophysiology of the paranasal sinuses. Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool in displaying its anatomy, any anatomic variations and diseases. As paranasal sinus development is a complex and long-lasting process, there are great structural variations between individuals. Maxillary and/or frontal sinus aplasia or hypoplasia are more common than the other types. Several degrees and combinations of aplasias and hypoplasias have been reported; however, there is only two case of total paranasal sinus aplasia in the literature. Here, we present the third case of total paranasal sinus aplasia, and the first ever case reported from India. How to cite this article Joshi A, Sundarray C, Sahoo KA. Bilateral Total Aplasia of Paranasal Sinuses: A Rare Case Report. Clin Rhinol An Int J 2015;8(3):124-126.

Schwannomas, also known as neurilemmomas, are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumours arising from the Schwann cells surrounding the nerve. Incidence of peripheral nerve sheath benign tumours occurring in the lower extremities is rare (1–10%). The authors present two cases with solitary schwannomas from the peripheral nerves. In one case, the schwannoma arose from the sural nerve and in the other, from the tibial nerve. They were successfully surgically removed with the aid of a surgical microscope, with no intraoperative or postoperative complications.

The bone of the upper arm (humerus) is the third largest and strongest bone in the human body which is located between the shoulder joint and the elbow joint.The aim of this thesis is to present a multifragmental fracture of the humerus of a 69 year old woman with no neurovascular lesions, with nounion which was treated with an osteosynthesis-adapted plate and individually placed screws. With appropriate physical therapy, the patient has fully recovered and has successfully returned to her everyday activities.Material and methods After the surgical procedure, the 69 year old patient received treatment at the department for physical therapy within GOB 8-mi Septemvri in Skopje. As part of the physical therapy, she received electrotherapy with an IF current and magnetic therapy, kinesiotherapy with active and active assisted exercise, including hydrotherapy with active pool exercises. The success is measured in milimeteres, which often makes this procedure extremely hard for the patient and the therapist.Results The success of the physical treatment of the patient was shown month by month, namely in the first, second and third month of the treatment.Conclusion The Humerus bone must be strong enough to bear the load during lifting, pushing or pulling of objects. The bone of the upper arm is very important, because without this bone we would not be able to control or to use the other parts of the arm.

<p>During routine human cadaveric dissection for the purpose of teaching learning of medical undergraduates in our department, third head of the biceps brachii muscle was found bilaterally in a 67 years old male cadaver. Bilaterally symmetrical third head was found with fleshy proximal attachment on humerus between the insertion of the coracobrachialis and the upper part of the origin of the brachialis. This supernumerary head was deep to the other two heads of biceps and was inserted into the bicipital aponeurosis. A branch of musculocutaneous nerve could be traced upto the third head. Long and short heads of biceps were of usual anatomy.</p>

Experiments were carried out to assess some insecticide modules against major insect pests of rice. Each module consists of a basal application of carbofuran 3G @ 1 kg a.i ha-1 at 20 DAT and Rynaxypyr 20 SC @ 30 g a.i ha-1 at 45 DAT except untreated control. All modules differ with each other only in third treatment which was applied in 65 DAT. The third treatment includes: Imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 27 g a.i ha-1, Pymetrozine 50 WG @ 150 g a.i ha-1, Triflumezopyrim 106 SC @ 27 g a.i ha-1, Buprofezin 25 SC @ 250 g a.i ha-1; Glamore (Imidacloprid 40+Ethiprole 40% w/w) 80 WG @ 100 g a.i. ha-1, Thiacloprid 24 SC @ 60 g a.i ha-1, Azadirachtin 0.03 EC @ 8 g a.i ha-1, Dinotefuran 20 SG@ 40 g a.i ha-1 and untreated control. All the treated plots recorded significantly lower percent of dead heart, white ear- head caused by stem borer and silver shoot caused by gall midge. Module with Pymetrozine 50 WG @ 150 g a.i ha-1 treated plot recorded significantly higher per cent reduction of plant hoppers (>80% over untreated control) and produced higher grain yield (50.75 qha-1) than the other modules. Among the different treated modules the maximum number of spiders was found in Azadirachtin 0.03 EC @ 8 g a.i ha-1 treated module plot followed by other treatments.

Der Beitrag widmet sich der Frage historischer Folgeverhältnisse in der Kunst. Gegenüber dem Gedanken, dass es ein ursprüngliches Werk in der Reihe von Werken gibt, das späteren Werken seinen Sinn gibt, schlägt der Text vor, das Verhältnis umgekehrt zu denken: Im Lichte späterer Werke wird der Sinn früherer Werke neu ausgehandelt. Dazu geht der Text in drei Schritten vor. Im ersten Teil formuliert er unter der Überschrift ›Form‹ in kritischer Abgrenzung zu Danto und Eco mit Adorno den Gedanken, dass Kunstwerke eigensinnig konstituierte Gegenstände sind. Die im Gedanken der Neuverhandlung früherer Werke im Lichte späterer Werke vorausgesetzte Unbestimmtheit des Sinns von Kunstwerken wird im zweiten Teil unter dem Schlagwort ›Zeitlichkeit‹ anhand des Paradigmas der Improvisation erörtert. Der dritte und letzte Teil wendet diese improvisatorische Logik unter dem Label ›Neuaushandlung‹ dann dezidiert auf das Verhältnis von Vorbild und Nachbild an. The article proposes a new understanding of historical succession in the realm of art. In contrast to the idea that there is an original work in the series of works that gives meaning to the works that come later, the text proposes to think it exactly the other way round: in the light of later works, the meanings of earlier works are renegotiated. The text proceeds in three steps to develop this idea. Under the heading ›Form‹ it develops in the first part a critical reading of Danto’s and Eco’s notion of the constitution of the artworks and argues with Adorno that each powerful work develops its own language. In the second part, the vagueness of the meaning of works of art presupposed in the idea of renegotiating earlier works in the light of later works is discussed under the term ›Temporality‹ in terms of the logic of improvisation. The third and final part uses this improvisational logic under the label ›Renegotiation‹ to understand the relationship between model and afterimage in the realm of art.

In the review we have integrated all up-to-date knowledge concerning clinical course and treatment of glaucoma among pregnant women to help specialists choose a proper policy of treatment for such a complicated group of patients. Glaucoma is a chronic progressive disease. It rarely occurs among childbearing aged women. Nevertheless the probability to manage pregnant patients having glaucoma has been recently increasing. The situation is complicated by the fact that there are no recommendations on how to treat glaucoma among pregnant women. As we know, eye pressure is progressively going down from the first to the third trimester, so we often have to correct hypotensive therapy. Besides, it is necessary to take into account the effect of applied medicines on mother health and evaluate possible teratogenic complications for a fetus. The only medicine against glaucoma which belongs to category B according to FDA classification is brimonidine. Medicines of the other groups should be prescribed with care. Laser treatment or surgery may also be a relevant decision when monitoring patients who are planning pregnancy or just bearing a child. Such treatment should be also accompanied by medicines.
