To investigate predictors of postoperative acute intracranial hemorrhage (AIH) and recurrence of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) after burr hole drainage.

In various gastrointestinal system diseases, emotional dysregulation has been shown to reduce pain tolerance and increase the severity of the disease. Increased emotional dysregulation during the adolescence period causes gastrointestinal symptoms to be more frequent and severe. In this study, Child Depression Inventory (CDI) scores were investigated in patients admitted to our clinic with functional gastrointestinal disorders.

Papillary thyroid gland carcinoma is the most common type of malignancy of the endocrine system. Metastases to the pituitary gland have been described as a complication of papillary thyroid cancer in few reported cases since 1965. We report the case of a 68-year-old female patient with a well-differentiated form of thyroid gland cancer. Despite it being the most common malignant cancer of the endocrine system, with its papillary form being one of the two most frequently diagnosed thyroid cancers, the case we present is extremely rare. Sudden cardiac arrest during ventricular fibrillation occurred during hospitalization. Autopsy of the patient revealed papillary carcinoma of the thyroid, follicular variant, with metastasis to the sella turcica, and concomitant sarcoidosis of heart, lung, and mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. Not only does atypical metastasis make our patient's case most remarkable, but also the postmortem diagnosis of sarcoidosis makes her case particularly unusual.

Chronic venous insufficiency is an important health problem; small saphenous vein (SSV) insufficiency is one of the leading causes and may affect up to 20% of adults. In addition to conventional treatment methods, endovenous treatment techniques have become popular in treatment of varicose veins. Herein, we report the outcomes of ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) in patients with symptomatic SSV insufficiency.

Recurrent vertigo is common in clinical work. As early as 1979, Slater firstly used benign recurrent vertigo (BRV) to describe that some adult patients present with recurrent vertigo without neurologic or any auditory symptoms (2). In subsequent studies, some scholars found that BRV was closely related to migraine (3,4). But after the International Headache Association and Barany Association proposed vestibular migraine as an independent entity (5), BRV now refers only to recurrent vertigo attacks without etiology. To further explore whether BRV is associated with Meniere's disease or vestibular migraine, we conducted this longitudinal study.

Patellar tendon ruptures make up about 5% of all extensor mechanism injuries. They mainly occur in young, athletic men who have contributing risk factors such as chronic tendinopathy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the return to sport after repair of an acute patellar tendon rupture. We hypothesized that surgical repair yields good functional outcomes with a high rate of return to competitive sports in patients treated with the same surgical technique.

To determine and compare the effectiveness of history, physical examination, conventional radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the detection of sacroiliitis in juvenile spondyloarthropathies.

The aim of this study is to compare the balance ability, anxiety level and motion sickness susceptibility in Vestibular Migraine (VM) patients, migraineurs without history of vertigo (Migraine-only, MO) and healthy controls (HC). We tested the hypothesis that VM patients have worse balance performance and higher anxiety level and motion sickness than MO and HC group.

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a human alphaherpesvirus 3, elicits both chickenpox and shingles and/or postherpetic neuralgia. A live attenuated vaccine (LAV) and glycoprotein E (gE) subunit vaccine were developed to prevent VZV-induced diseases. We recently reported that single-strand RNA (ssRNA) based on the intergenic region of the internal ribosome entry site of cricket paralysis virus (CrPV) is an effective adjuvant for protein-based and virus-like particle-based vaccines. Here, Chinese hamster ovary expression system and an LAV from Oka/SK strains.

Pan and colleagues describe the clinical features and outcomes of benign recurrent vertigo (BRV) (1). We would like to comment on certain issues. BRV is a common vestibular syndrome; the criteria were established in the past by Rutka (2) and the Committee on Hearing and Equilibrium (3). It is characterized by multiple episodes of vertigo lasting between 5 minutes and 72 hours, without auditory symptoms or headache, so Ménière's disease and vestibular migraine are excluded.
