Conflicting data regarding elevation of troponin level following generalized tonic clonic seizures (GTCs) have been reported. In this study we hypothesized that troponin elevation after GTCs occurs more frequently in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. Method: Consecutive patients who presented to ER over a one year period with a GTC and whose work up included troponin T level were included. Patients with cardiac symptoms at the time of admission or renal insufficiency were excluded. The frequency and risk factors for elevated troponin levels in this cohort were analyzed. Result: Fourteen patients (mean age: 54 years; range: 19–87) were included. Four patients (28.6%) had an elevated troponin level (Mean = 0.06, range: 0.035–0.076). Those four patients were significantly older than those with normal levels (77.5 vs. 45.5 years, P = 0.035). EKGs in these patients were normal. Of the eight patients 60 years or olde...

We report a child who, during an admission for diagnostic closed-circuit television (CCTV) and electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring, was found to have prolonged rhythmic monomorphic discharges, alternating over both midtemporal areas, with one of the discharges lasting up to 82 minutes. An analysis of the dominant frequency, during the longest discharge, showed that it was monomorphic throughout. On the basis of various features of these discharges, we concluded that they represented RMTD of unusual duration.

Central to the diagnosis, evaluation and management of chronic kidney disease is the estimation of glomerular filtration rate. This article summarizes the various equations used to estimate filtration function and the performance of each in clinical practice. During the past year the prediction equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate, especially the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation, continued to receive much interest. Many studies have compared the performance of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation and the Cockcroft-Gault equation. The performance of these equations in various patient populations, such as patients with advanced heart failure, diabetic patients, renal transplantation patients, and the healthy general population, has been extensively studied. Overall, the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation has had an acceptable validity and has outperformed the Cockcroft-Gault equation in the various populations, but with some limitations that the physician should account for in clinical practice. The use of the prediction equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate, especially the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation, should be implemented more frequently in clinical practice. An ever increasing number of studies has validated its use in different patient populations.

Interconnections between traffic signals in close proximity to railroad crossings provide an important safety function by allowing the railroad warning system to preempt the normal traffic signal operation and provide special phasing to clear vehicles queued over the railroad tracks, prohibit others from joining the queue, and maintaining traffic flow for non-conflicting traffic movements. In Michigan, there are approximately 200 interconnected highwayrailroad grade crossings that are all under regulatory control of the Michigan Department of Transportation. The MUTCD provides guidance concerning the use of preemption where the signalized intersection is within 200 feet of a railroad crossing. There is however, minimal guidance for locations where intersections are more than 200 feet beyond the railroad crossings. Some of these locations experience queuing problems due to high traffic volumes. The purpose of this research was to compile and review literature and current practices related to interconnected traffic signals and preemption in order to determine solutions for providing safe and efficient timings for the traffic signals and nearby highway-railroad grade crossing warning signals. A series of highway-railroad intersection configuration templates was developed as a part of this research. A set of guidelines was also developed with accompanying software to provide additional assistance for identification of possible interconnection locations that could utilize preemption concepts. The guidelines also assist in the determination of signal timing parameters for the phasing and timing design required as a part of the concept.

Its involvement in brain abscesses is generally described as a complication of neurosurgical intervention. Propionibacterium acnes is susceptible to antibiotics used as treatment of anaerobic infections, except for the 5-nitroimidazoles. Surgical excision or drainage of a simple abscess combined with a long course of antibiotics is considered the treatment of choice. A case of a patient with multiple brain abscesses located in the right temporal lobe that occurred after the manipulation of an abscess of the right upper maxillary is reported. The patient did not improve despite a prolonged course of high-dose intravenous penicillin plus thiamphenicol, and cure was finally obtained after the excision of the right temporal lobe. Culture of the purulent material and the shell of the abscesses yielded P. acnes which was sensitive to all the antibiotics administered to the patient up to the intervention. The temporal Iobectomy was followed by a 6-month course of ofloxacin. One gear after the intervention, the patient remained apyretic without any other abscess on cranial computed tomograph9 scan.

The object used in this study is a human face object where the human face is expected to be separated from the background. The segmentation technique used is clustering with the K-means method. K-means is one of the algorithms that can solve clustering problems, in addition to the k-means method it is also necessary to transfer the image taken in the form of RGB color to L*a*b color. L*a*b is a color space consisting of three numerical values, namely L* for the light level and a* b* for the green-red and blue-yellow components. The diversity of backgrounds in a face image is a challenge in itself in the process of separating faces using the K-means method. Face image retrieval is done in 2 places, namely indoor and outdoor. The results of the best accuracy in the room (indoor) of 99.64% and outdoor images of 99.29%.
