Hemicrania continua: a clinical review
No full textHemicrania continua (HC) is a headache entity completely responsive to indomethacin. Since 1984, 18 cases have been described, 15 females and 3 males, i.e. a F:M ratio of 5.0. The finding of a female preponderance, like that in chronic paroxysmal hemicrania, is a new observation. HC is, in general, a unilateral headache in the sense that it sets in on one side and subsequently sticks to this side. In two cases, both sides might possibly be involved, when the pain was at its maximum. In another (somewhat dubious) case the headache was bilateral. The pain was continuous from the beginning in 8 of 18 cases (early stage ratio continuous: non-continuous = 0.8). Over time, the headache developed a continuous character in 16 of the 18 cases, producing a "continuous: non-continuous ratio" of 8:1. The intensity of pain generally was moderate and was not reported as excruciatingly severe by any patient. The autonomic involvement from a clinical point of view, was clearly less pronounced than that of other unilateral headaches, such as cluster headache and chronic paroxysmal hemicrania
CPH and hemicrania continua: requirements of high indomethacin dosages an ominous sign?
No full textTwo female patients, one with chronic paroxysmal hemicrania and one with hemicrania continua, had a continuously high requirement of indomethacin, ie, > or = 225 mg per day, for 4 and 7 years, respectively. In the hemicrania continua patient, a right (symptomatic side) C7 root affection due to disc herniation was demonstrated. Removal of the disc relieved the arm pain completely, and reduced the head pain and indomethacin requirement considerably initially. The other patient suffered from the unremitting form of chronic paroxysmal hemicrania with right-sided attacks from the age of 16. Indomethacin, 200 to 250 mg per day generally kept the headache at bay, but during exacerbations, especially during menstrual periods, the dosage transitorily had to be increased to 250 to 350 mg per day. A CT scan with contrast at aged 18 (1987) was negative. In 1992, she started having new symptoms, including numbness on the ipsilateral side of the face and arm and difficulty swallowing. An MR scan showed a meningioma originating in the roof of the cavernous sinus on the symptomatic side. The meningioma was surgically removed. The postoperative indomethacin requirement was reduced, but only transiently. Patients with chronic paroxysmal hemicrania (CPH) and hemicrania continua (HC) with a continuously high indomethacin requirement may have grave additional disorders and should consequently be followed closely

»LJ« Artist book
No full textThe thesis paper deals with the artist book, an art form that has become a part of the university curriculum since the beginning of my university studies. It is most closely connected with the fields of sketch and photography. Both personl sketch and the field of photography have been of particular interest to me during my university years and I prepared an exhibition on the subject, presented by Faculty of Education Gallery. This thesis covers the historical and theoretical background of the artist book and maps the creation of my own artist book, an artistic superaddition titled LJ.
Some of the pioneers of the artist book are also mentioned, including Ed Ruscha, the author of the Twenty Six Gasoline Stations. He was one of the first artist to draw attention to the various artistic possibilities of this art form intertwining different graphic components including sketch, photography, font, paper characteristic, and other visual effects. Franc zagoričnik is presented as a native artist interested in the art form. He was a member of the OHO group, which reached the same conclusions as Ruscha in the 1970s.
The thesis places the artist book within the field of education, since this particular pedagogical approach has been shown to give the pupil freedom of choice and thus enrich his sensibilty to artistic expression. Pratical reasearch was conducted at a high school in Koper, while theoretical research heavily relied on the MGLC library, which is the only Slovene library to carry contemporary literature on this particular art form
