This case details a 35-year-old man with no past medical history who presents with acute paraparesis and urinary retention in the setting of progressive paresthesias and weakness of his lower and upper extremities over several months. He was found to have longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis involving the cervical to mid-thoracic cord with concomitant findings of mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy. An extensive serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) workup of possible autoimmune, paraneoplastic, infectious, and toxic/metabolic etiologies was overall nonrevealing, but an endobronchial ultrasound-guided biopsy of the enlarged hilar lymph nodes revealed noncaseating granulomas. The patient demonstrated significant improvement after completing two courses of pulse-dose steroids and was ultimately discharged to intensive inpatient rehabilitation for further treatment.

For the titration of 25.00 mL of 0.100 M CH3CO2H with 0.100 M NaOH, the reaction can be represented as:
Muscles that Move the Leg
Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed...
