BILATERAL OCULOMOTOR OCULAR NEUROMYOTONIA: A CASE REPORT

Bilateral oculomotor ocular neuromyotonia: a case report

Abstract Background Ocular neuromyotonia (ONM) is characterized by episodic diplopia, which is usually triggered by prolonged eccentric gaze of the affected extraocular muscles.The spell is characterized by involuntary, occasionally painful, sustained contraction of one or more extraocular muscles innervated by the oculomotor, trochlear, or abducen

Wave fluxes of equatorial Kelvin waves and QBO zonal wind forcing derived from SABER and ECMWF temperature space-time spectra

The quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) of the zonal mean zonal wind is a dynamical phenomenon of the tropical middle atmosphere.Influences of the QBO can even be found at mid and high latitudes.It is widely accepted that the phase descent of alternating tropical easterlies and westerlies is driven by atmospheric waves of both global scale (equatorial

The role of medical thoracoscopy in the diagnosis of exudative lymphocytic pleural effusions: an observational study

Diagnosis of pleural effusion remains challenging despite extensive microbiological and radiological investigations.Pleural histopathological examination (HPE) is often needed to ascertain the etiology.Medical thoracoscopy (MT) is surpassing the other modalities of pleural biopsy on account of its high diagnostic yield.We aim to estimate the yield
