- Bulbar Symptoms as an Unusual Presentation of Multiple Sclerosis: A Case Reportby Martine Kai on July 1, 2022
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex multifactorial disease with different clinical manifestations. Bulbar symptoms such as dysarthria and dysphagia are common in MS patients with advanced secondary progressive disease. However, they are not common at disease onset. We present the case of a 17-year-old male who initially presented with vomiting, dysarthria, and dysphagia. The investigations led to the diagnosis of MS, with an active lesion in the brainstem, more specifically in the area postrema...
- Colonic schwannoma: A case of unusual presentation and outcomeby Salsabil Nasri on July 1, 2022
CONCLUSION: Colonic schwannoma may have polymorphic presentation mimicking malignant tumor in such cases. Not treated in time, it can lead to severe complications, such as tumoral perforation. Surgical resection remains the mainstay treatment. The slow evolutionary genius of schwannoma, even when incompletely resected by necessity, confirms its good prognosis.

This article aims to investigate what teachers consider to be just and how teacher characteristics and situational factors affect justice ratings...
- Radiomics Features on Computed Tomography Combined With Clinical-Radiological Factors Predicting Progressive Hemorrhage of Cerebral Contusionby Qingning Yang on July 1, 2022
CONCLUSIONS: The radiomics model outperformed the traditional clinical-radiological model in predicting PH. The nomogram model of the combined radiomics features and clinical-radiological factors is a helpful tool for PH.
