Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Hemifacial spasm is characterized by sudden, involuntary, irregular, tonic or clonic motor discharge of the facial nerve (seventh cranial nerve), leading to muscular contraction. Its etiology may be idiopathic or secondary to an irritation of the facial nerve. Possible sources of irritation include vascular malformations, infections, trauma, and tumors. Hemifacial spasms may be a temporary or a permanent sequela from Bell’s palsy. This disorder typically presents unilaterally, although it may be seen bilaterally in about 5% of the cases. This condition affects women more

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Hemifacial spasm is an uncontrollable, recurrent facial muscular contraction that typically occurs on one side of the face, cannot be suppressed, and can last the entire day and during sleep. The most common underlying cause of facial nerve compression is an enlarged or abnormal tracking blood vessel at the brainstem level. Clinical diagnoses are frequently based on a patient's medical history and physical examination. Before deciding on a course of action, however, an electromyogram and MRI are performed to determine the underlying cause. Due to its high effectiveness (success rates

Abstract:
Abdominal pain frequently occurs after long-distance running. The cause of the pain may be due to dehydration, diaphragmatic ischemia, muscular spasm, or myonecrosis. However, data regarding the frequency of these purported causes are currently lacking. Pancreatitis can also occur after long-distance running, but few cases have been reported, and the etiology is controversial. We report a case of pancreatitis in a thin, muscular marathon runner. We suggest the etiology in this case may be traumatic as the pancreas may have suffered repetitive injury against the posterior abdominal wall and spi

A 10-week-old, male German shepherd dog was presented with a primary complaint of episodic ptyalism, dysphagia, vomiting, and mandibular salivary gland enlargement. An esophagram with fluoroscopy showed normal pharyngeal and esophageal function; however, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and cervical ultrasonography revealed a focal circumferential thickening of the midcervical esophageal muscular wall, consistent with esophageal spasm. The puppy responded dramatically and completely to phenobarbital treatment. An unusual syndrome of phenobarbital-responsive hypersialosis was consistent with th

Abstract:
Vasospastic angina (VSA), also known as variant angina, is a condition characterized by recurrent episodes of chest pain, frequently during the night or in the early hours in the morning, due to spasm and contraction of the muscular tonaca of the coronary arteries, differentiating therefore from classic angina. The real physiopatological mechanisms of VSA are still a field of considerable research, although it is now clear that inflammation plays an important role in the genesis of the spasm.

Background: Hemifacial spasm (HS) is a muscular disorder frequently exacerbated by arterial compression amenable to surgical intervention through microvascular decompression (MVD). Recurrence is a known cause and warrants investigation. Case Description: A 65-year-old woman presented with the left HS of 7 years duration. Her symptoms were initially well controlled with botulinum toxin injections. However, these injections eventually lost their effectiveness, necessitating MVD. At surgery, the anterior inferior cerebellar artery was indenting the facial nerve at its root entry zone. This was ca

The clinical neuroanatomy of each nerve is described in detail, as are disorders – often in the form of lesions – for each nerve.Trigeminal nerve function may be affected by supranuclear, nuclear, or peripheral lesions. Because of the wide anatomical distribution of the components of the trigeminal nerve, complete interruption of both the motor and sensory parts is rarely observed in practice. Howe

Weakness, myalgias, arthralgias, spasm, lack of endurance, and stiffness are prominent features of fibromyalgia that may be difficult to differentiate from other conditions. The prominence of complaints in this area is what frequently brings patients to a musculoskeletal specialist such as a rheumatologist, as opposed to an infectious disease expert, general internist, or endocrinologist.

Anaesthesia is a state of reversible unconsciousness that comprises some or all of the ‘triad of anaesthesia’— hypnosis, analgesia, and muscle relaxation. Safe and ef­fective anaesthesia requires information of the drug’s potency at effector sites and knowledge of administration concentrations, as well as an understanding of the degree of noxious stimulus and how a patient’s physiology may modulate drug actions. Historically, the first compounds used as anaesthetics were diethyl ether, nitrous oxide, and chloroform. Diethyl ether was demonstrated to the wider medical commu­nity in 1846 by Will

Management involves clinical assessment, ECG, and diagnostic tests, such as biomarkers, imaging, and eventually coronary angiography. Acute chest pain can be life-threatening and should be evaluated urgently and in a comprehensive manner.

Vasospasm is defined as contraction or hypertonia of the muscular coats of blood vessels. It may result in decreased blood flow to perfused tissues followed by reversible ischemia of varying severity. Vasospasm is present and believed to be a pathogenetic factor in many diseases such as Raynaud’sphenomenon, migraine, and Prinzmetal’s variant angina.1 Cold is known to provoke spasm, as are nicotine and emotional or physical stress.
