Introduction: Envenomation is a public health problem in developing countries. Neurovascular complications are not exceptional.
Observations: We report two cases of hemorrhagic stroke which complicate an envenomation treated late.
The fi rst patient was 27 years old woman, who had been admitted for right hemiparesis and aphasia two weeks after a viperidae bite.
She was then treated with polyvalent antivenom (FAV-Afrique®).
Maor Presentation 2016
This document describes a novel transcatheter device to treat hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) using non-thermal irreversible electroporation (NTIRE). HOCM is a common genetic heart condition that can cause sudden death. Current treatments have limitations. The proposed device uses NTIRE, which damages cell membranes without heat, to ablate thickened heart muscle in seconds via a minimally invasive approach. Preclinical studies show NTIRE safely and effectively ablates cardiac tissue. The team aims to develop an endovascular NTIRE device for HOCM and pursue FDA approval based on existing use in cancer. They expect the addressable market to be large with an opportunity to develop additional cardiac applications
Spine Conference: lumbar discectomy
This document summarizes a case of a 70-year-old man presenting with left sciatica for 10 weeks. Physical therapy did not provide relief for his pain, which was located in his left hip, buttock, posterior lateral leg, and lateral ankle. He has a significant past medical history including diabetes, heart conditions, and end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis. Imaging showed an L5-S1 disc herniation. Treatment options including further non-operative management with medications and therapies or surgical discectomy were discussed.
spine conference: thoracic disc herniations
A 61-year-old man presented with left lower back pain and left leg weakness and numbness, unable to walk. He has a history of lumbar and cervical spine surgeries. MRI showed stenosis at C3-C4 and L2-L3 as well as a disc herniation at T10-T11. The discussion focused on the rare occurrence of thoracic disc herniations and surgical approaches for addressing the T10-T11 herniation.
kyphoplasty
This document discusses cement augmentation techniques for osteoporotic fractures, specifically vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. It provides background on the development of these procedures, including early studies in the 1980s and 1990s introducing percutaneous vertebroplasty. It also discusses a 2009 randomized controlled trial that found no difference in pain relief between vertebroplasty and sham surgery for osteoporotic fractures. However, a 2021 meta-analysis found vertebroplasty provided improved pain relief over nonsurgical treatments in the short, medium, and long term with no greater risk of adjacent fractures. Complications are mentioned but not described in detail.
Lecture metastatic breast carcinoma to the spine (final version)
This document discusses a case of metastatic breast cancer to the thoracic spine in a 74-year-old woman. She presented with mid-thoracic back pain and was later found to have a 5.5 cm breast mass, confirmed to be stage 4 breast cancer with metastases to the spine, ribs, and femur. The document provides historical background on cancer terminology and discusses treatment options and outcomes for spinal metastases, including surgery versus radiation. Prognostic scoring systems like Tokuhashi are mentioned. Overall, the summary discusses evaluation and management of a patient presenting with spinal metastases from breast cancer.
Lecture Low Back Paine with a normal xray 2021
This document summarizes a spine conference presentation on acute low back pain with a normal x-ray. It discusses the evaluation and differential diagnosis of back pain, including red flags indicating more serious underlying causes. Non-spine related causes like pregnancy, UTI, and abdominal issues are reviewed. Imaging findings, treatments including medications and injections, and psychosocial factors are also summarized. Case examples of different back pain presentations are provided.
DISH cervical myelopathy
A 61-year-old man presented with neck pain following an injury. He had a 6-month history of leg weakness. Imaging showed ossification along the thoracic spine consistent with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). DISH is characterized by flowing ossification along the vertebral borders and preservation of disc height. Risk factors include metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and advanced age. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, and dysphagia from cervical spine involvement. Treatment is typically conservative with NSAIDs and physical therapy.

2. Imaging showed chronic fractures at T4, T5-T6, L3 and L5 with 50% height loss at L5, as well as central stenosis at C3-C4 and L3-L4 with severe lumbar stenosis.
3. She underwent an anterior cervical decompression at C3-C4 for her cervical stenosis. Post-operatively, she was able to walk with a walker with assistance and had no pain two months later.
Spine Lecture cauda equina syndrome 2019 sept
Cauda Equina Syndrome is a medical emergency caused by compression of the cauda equina nerve roots in the lumbar spine. Symptoms include low back pain, sciatica, saddle anesthesia, and bowel/bladder dysfunction. Delays in surgery of greater than 48 hours are associated with worse functional outcomes. Physical exam alone is a poor predictor, but pre- and post-void bladder scans and perianal sensation testing provide better sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing Cauda Equina Syndrome. Early identification and emergency MRI are critical to prevent permanent nerve damage from prolonged compression.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
