Most patients with myxopapillary ependymoma present insidiously, but they may present with hemorrhage or cauda equina syndrome. Limited number of case reports available has described this condition only in adult patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The MULTIMEDIA section presents a rich and interactive layer of highly visual materials from video clips to online presentations to demonstrations performed by the classics of Olympic weightlifting. [chidlovski.net]

• Asymptomatic

  The patient changed to a lower disease severity class, that is, he became virtually asymptomatic in terms of exercise limitations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Leg Swelling

  We hypothesized that progressive weight training would not exacerbate leg swelling and that the intervention would improve functional mobility and quality of life. DESIGN: Before-after pilot study with a duration of 5 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Marfanoid Habitus

  His other two brothers had Marfanoid habitus without findings of systemic involvement. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Arachnodactyly

  The patient was 180 cm tall, had elongated limbs and arachnodactyly. On auscultation, there was a diastolic murmur of 1-2/6 over the aortic area. A chest roentgenogram demonstrated mild cardiomegaly and mediastinal widening. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Thrombosis

  A comprehensive examination by the physical therapist revealed clinical signs of an upper extremity deep vein thrombosis, leading to a same-day referral back to the referring physician. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Cyanosis

  The patient was a 21-year-old woman originally referred for pelvic pain who presented with new complaints of right upper extremity swelling, discomfort, and cyanosis after recently beginning a comprehensive weight-lifting program. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Retinal Hemorrhage

  Catastrophic brain injuries such as stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhage and retinal detachment have been associated with weight-lifting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Paresthesia

  Additional signs, including paresthesias decreased pulses, and venous distension, warranted a timely referral by the physical therapist bavk to the referring physician. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Exertional Headache

  Three headache syndromes, cervicogenic headache, benign exertional headache, and effort-induced migraine headache, appear to be more common in the weight-lifting athlete. This article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of these headache syndromes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Results revealed that running was the only effective treatment in raising high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). A return to weight lifting was associated with a 4 mg % decrease in HDL-C. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract The associations between participation in several specific sports, use of free weights, and use of weight lifting equipment and herniated lumbar or cervical intervertebral discs were examined in a case-control epidemiologic study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A recent study has shown that intra-ocular pressure (IOP), which is an indirect measure of intracranial pressure, elevates to pathophysiologic levels during weight-lifting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The relatively small change seen as a result of this modified Nautilus exercise program may prevent moderate weight lifting from being a practical answer for osteoporosis, even in a highly motivated population. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
