Malignancy rate of ground-glass nodules at baseline CT. Compared to a malignancy rate of 4.6% for all solid nodules, nodular GGO (nGGO) had a higher malignancy rate of 5.4%, pure nodular GGO (pnGGO) had a malignancy rate of 3.3%, and mixed nodular GGO (mnGGO) had a malignancy rate of 14.3%.
In the most common form of tetanus, the first sign is spasm of the jaw muscles, followed by stiffness of the neck, difficulty in swallowing, and stiffness of the abdominal muscles.Other signs include fever, sweating, elevated blood pressure, and rapid heart rate.
Tetanus results in severe, uncontrollable muscle spasms. In severe cases, the muscles used to breathe can spasm, causing a lack of oxygen to the brain and other organs that may possibly lead to death. The disease in humans is the result of infection of a wound with the spores of the bacteria Clostridium tetani. These bacteria produce the toxin (poison) tetanospasmin, which is responsible for causing tetanus.
