The physical examination may reveal sensory deficits, aiding in the determination of ischemia stages. Imaging diagnosis is crucial, with computed tomography (CT) angiography being the preferred examination due to its ability to provide detailed information about arterial anatomy across multiple planes and clear visualization of adjacent structures. Compared to magnetic resonance imaging angiography, CT angiography offers faster results with minimal distortion, despite the exposure to radiation and contrast use. Doppler ultrasonography is another valuable tool in suspected arterial thromboembolism cases, particularly in emergency settings. It offers advantages over CT angiography as it is non-invasive, cost-effective, and does not involve radiation or contrast administration. We present the case of a 68-year-old man who reported a nodule in the medial region of his right thumb for three months. Initially, he experienced significant local pain and limited movement, which gradually improved over time with the use of analgesic medication. Ultrasonography revealed thrombosis in the princeps pollicis artery, and the patient commenced treatment with acetylsalicylic acid. After four months, the patient reported a marked reduction in the nodule size along with pain improvement.","PeriodicalId":35490,"journal":{"name":"Prague medical report","volume":"126 1","pages":"36-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143538143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to report a prospective, consecutive, single-centric case series to evaluate the Front Plateau's effectiveness in patients with temporomandibular disorders. A questionnaire adapted from the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMDs was used and 4 patients were treated with the Front Plateau plaque. Patients were monitored after 5 and 9 months, respectively, after starting to use the Front Plateau. Of the 4 cases listed, 2 showed significant improvement in initial signs and symptoms. Front Plateau may be a favourable treatment option for patients with TMD, if the guidelines are followed.

Morphometry of iliac crest is of vital importance in orthopedic surgery. Measurements were done on male (n=85) and female (n=85) hip bones. Length of iliac crest, thickness of iliac crest and ilium were measured. Thickness was measured at pre-defined points on crest and ilium 2 cm apart starting from anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS). Ilium was measured at a depth of 2.5 cm from crest. Statistical analysis was done. Iliac crests were longer in male bones. Ventral iliac crest was thickest at 6 cm from ASIS in both sexes. While iliac crest bore minimum thickness at 12 cm and 10 cm from ASIS in male and female bones respectively, however at 2.5 cm below iliac crest surface ilium was thickest at 4 cm from ASIS and at ASIS in male and female bones respectively. In case of male bones, dorsal part of iliac crest was thickest at 2.15 ± 1.29 cm from posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) while in females it was at 1.78 ± 1.31 cm from PSIS. In dorsal part of ilium, it was observed at 2.31 ± 1.47 cm and 1.9 ± 1.79 cm from PSIS for male and female bones respectively. This study provided detailed variable morphometry and significant sexual dimorphism observed in iliac crest and ilium. Thickest safe zones in both sexes are a useful guide for harvesting appropriate bone grafts.","PeriodicalId":35490,"journal":{"name":"Prague medical report","volume":"126 1","pages":"9-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143538087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this retrospective study, we analysed the diagnostic approaches, the clinical history and surgical and immunosuppressive therapies, and their subsequent effects on our patients. Patients with established disease activity were given immunosuppressive treatment, using corticosteroids alone or in combination with azathioprine, in patients with exacerbation of the disease mycophenolate mofetil. Three patients with Ormond's disease and systemic complications (IgG4-related disease) were treated with rituximab. In the entire cohort, 83 patients received immunosuppressive therapy; the next 5 patients did not receive this treatment because they did not present inflammatory activity from the disease. In these 83 patients, computed tomography showed that immunosuppressive treatment resulted in partial or complete regression of the inflammatory infiltrate. Out of the 83 patients, 10 patients experienced disease exacerbation 7 and 24 months after the immunosuppressive treatment was discontinued.

Median nerve entrapment causes paresthesia, changes in sensitivity, and loss of strength in the fingers, in addition to causing loss of hand dexterity. The diagnosis of pronator teres syndrome is complicated, due to its similarity with other neuropathies of the median nerve. So, it is important to emphasize the need for a physical examination together with imaging tests, especially ultrasound, for its correct diagnosis. We report the case of a 28-year-old woman who complained of tingling for ten years in the proximal third of the left forearm at rest that worsens on exertion and weakness if not moving. On physical examination, she has no limitation of movement but refers to a feeling of weakness and numbness in his forearm. Ultrasonography demonstrates compression of the median nerve between the ulnar and humeral heads of the pronator teres muscle, a finding confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and electroneuromyography.

We present the case of a 26-year-old man who presented with fever, unanticipated weight loss, and fatigue. Although no typical risk factors for infective endocarditis were identified at admission, transesophageal echocardiography revealed a bicuspid aortic valve with calcification, paravalvular aortic abscess formation, and vegetations on the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. Blood cultures grew S. vestibularis, which was initially sensitive to benzylpenicillin but developed emergent resistance on the third day of the antibiotic treatment. Subsequently, ceftriaxone therapy was initiated, and blood cultures became sterile on day 10. The patient eventually underwent aortic valve replacement. We report the first known case of native aortic and mitral valve endocarditis caused by S. vestibularis, accompanied by a paravalvular abscess around the native aortic valve, in a patient who had no typical risk factors for infective endocarditis, except for a bicuspid aortic valve.","PeriodicalId":35490,"journal":{"name":"Prague medical report","volume":"126 1","pages":"26-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143538064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
