Moyamoya Disease From an Otolaryngologist’s Perspective: A Rare Case

Abstract

Moyamoya disease is characterized by narrowing of cerebral blood vessels and is progressive in nature. We present the case of a 21-year-old female patient who was a known case of Down's syndrome and presented with right-sided facial muscle weakness and was initially suspected of having cholesteatoma, but no evidence for the same was found after extensive radiological investigations. The suspicion of a central nervous system pathology was raised due to the clinical findings of dysphasia and supranuclear facial palsy. Magnetic-resonance angiography (MRA) was suggestive of findings of early Moyamoya disease. After a Neurologist consultation, the patient was started on conservative management with anti-platelet drugs and Statins and had symptomatic improvement. The patient was advised regular follow-up and had no fresh episodes of similar complaints.

Advances in Slime Mould Algorithm: A comprehensive Survey

“…The MGSMAbased MLIS method was compared with eight other peers at both high and low threshold levels using 10 images from BSDS500 and the results revealed that the suggested approach could deliver highquality image segmentation results. Chavan PP et al [105]suggested an image compression technique for Vector Quantization (VQ) with the K-means Linde-Buzo-Gary (KLBG) model. In the encoding stage, the hybrid GA and SMA was employed for generating optimal codebook.…”

Carbon Sequestration in the Green Open Spaces along Primary Road of Pontianak City, West Kalimantan, Indonesia`

“…Research conducted by Singh et al [7] states that urban green spaces buffer noise pollution, are locales of biodiversity preservation, relieve the Urban Warm Island impact, direct nearby climate, stabilize soil and groundwater recharge, and anticipate soil disintegration and carbon sequestration. Carbon sequestration could be a normal prepare for evacuating carbon from the climate into its stores within the biosphere [8]. The CO2 within the environment is ingested by carbon sinks and put away as carbon.…”
