The aim of the present study was to assess prospectively the effect of pre-season fitness on injury rate during the competitive season among professional soccer players. Thirty-one players participated in the study during two consecutive competitive seasons (2015-16 and 2016-17; a squad of 22 players in each season). During the 6-week pre-season training period (8 training sessions and a friendly match every week, 14-18 training hours/week) there was a significant improvement in VO max, a significant increase in ideal and total sprint time and no change in vertical jump, flexibility and repeated sprint-test performance decrement.

Background: Classic trigeminal neuralgia is an often debilitating condition that frequently results from vascular compression at the root entry zone of the trigeminal nerve. Here, the authors report a case of dural arteriovenous fistula surrounding the trigeminal nerve from near the root entry zone extending as far ventral as Meckel cave treated solely with Gamma Knife radiosurgery.

Background And Purpose: In patients with acute ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion, the prognosis has improved tremendously since the implementation of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). The effect of EVT on the incidence of malignant middle cerebral artery infarctions (MMI) has not been studied before.
Methods: ESTIMATE, a multicenter retrospective study, evaluates data of ischemic stroke patients with occlusion in the anterior circulation in the years of 2007-2015 comparing three treatment options (no therapy; IV-TPA; IV-TPA plus EVT or EVT only). Read More

The combined transpetrosal approach enables wide exposure around the petroclival region by cutting the tentorium and superior petrosal sinus. We often choose this approach for removal of tumors ventral to the facial and vestibulocochlear nerves, such as petroclival meningioma and epidermoid cyst, because complete removal of the tumor under direct visualization is required to prevent its later recurrence, especially in young patients. Recent reports revealed anatomical variations of the drainage of the superior petrosal sinus, and dural incision considering preservation of the superior petrosal vein was proposed. Read More

Cilia are found on most eukaryotic cell types, serving motility, environment sensing, and signaling (cell-cell) functions, and defects cause genetic diseases (ciliopathies), affecting the development of many tissues [1]. Cilia are built by intraflagellar transport (IFT), a bidirectional microtubule-based motility driven by kinesin-2 anterograde (toward ciliary tip) and IFT-dynein retrograde (toward ciliary base) motors together with IFT-A and IFT-B cargo adaptor complexes that control retrograde and anterograde IFT, respectively [2]. Ciliary composition is also facilitated by the transition zone (TZ) at the ciliary base and the associated Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) and nephronophthisis (NPHP) modules that establish protein diffusion barriers and regulate cilium structure [3].

Since Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is rarely diagnosed in adults, there is no consensus on what type of procedure to be performed for symptomatic MD and whether to resect or not an accidentally discovered MD. Treatment of symptomatic MD is definitive surgery, including diverticulectomy, wedge, and segmental resection. The type of procedure depends on: (a) the integrity of diverticulum base and adjacent ileum; (b) the presence and location of ectopic tissue within MD. Read More

The persistence of the embryonic vitelline duct can lead to omphalomesenteric duct anomalies. A wide variety of anomalies, depending on the remnant segment and its degree of involution, may occur as a result of the omphalomesenteric duct failing to obliterate completely. The most frequent omphalomesenteric duct anomaly is Meckel's diverticulum, which is present in approximately 2-3 % of the population. Read More

A previously healthy 11-year-old boy with intermittent abdominal pain and bloody stool underwent Meckel scintigraphy. On the initial images, there was a faint U-shaped activity in the mid-abdominal region, which gradually faded and evolved into distinct foci of radiotracer accumulation in the later images. One of the foci changed its location during the study, suspected as moving Meckel diverticulum. Read More

According to anecdotal reports in literature, encountering Meckel's diverticulum in a patient with Crohn's disease is not uncommon, but differentiating between the overlapping complications of Mickel's diverticulum and the natural manifestations of Crohn's disease can be challenging and may impact lifelong therapy. In this report, we present a case of Meckel's diverticulitis in a patient with stricturing ileocolonic Crohn's disease. A 29-year-old male has been suffering from recurrent bouts of abdominal pain and diarrhea which were initially thought to be due to recurrent flares of Crohn's disease. Read More

The transition zone (TZ) is a domain at the base of the cilium that is involved in maintaining ciliary compartment-specific sensory and signaling activity by regulating cilia protein composition. Mutations in TZ proteins result in cilia dysfunction, often causing pleiotropic effects observed in a group of human diseases classified as ciliopathies. The purpose of this study is to describe the importance of the TZ component Meckel-Grüber syndrome 6 ( Mks6) in several organ systems and tissues regarding ciliogenesis and cilia maintenance using congenital and conditional mutant mouse models.

A variety of entities may mimic drainable abscesses. This can lead to misdiagnosis of these entities, unnecessary percutaneous placement of a pigtail drainage catheter, other complications, and delay in appropriate treatment of the patient. Types of entities that may mimic drainable abscesses include neoplasms (lymphoma, gallbladder cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, ovarian cancer, mesenteric fibromatosis, ruptured mature cystic teratoma, recurrent malignancy in a surgical bed), ischemia/infarction (liquefactive infarction of the spleen, infarcted splenule), diverticula (calyceal, Meckel, and giant colonic diverticula), and congenital variants (obstructed duplicated collecting system).
