A Case Report of Rapunzel Syndrome in 14-Year-Old Girl.

Trichobezoar or hairball in the proximal part of the gastrointestinal tract is a rare condition that occurs mainly in young and adolescent females. Since human hair is resistant to digestive enzymes and resistant to peristalsis, it easily accumulates between the folds of the mucosa. Over time, food and mucus accumulate within the hair, forming a compact mass that fills almost the entire lumen.

On-slide clearing and imaging of 100-µm-thick histological sections using ethyl cinnamate and epifluorescence.

Thick histological samples are difficult to image without proper tissue clearing methods. Among these methods ethyl cinnamate (ECi)-based clearing preserves antigenicity and is compatible with immunofluorescent labeling. In contrast to many other clearing protocols, ECi-based clearing is fast and is done as a final step after standard immunofluorescent labeling protocols.

Dabigatran Etexilate Related Unilateral Adrenal Hemorrhage.

A 63-year-old male presented to our clinic with computed tomography data of a large tumor of the left adrenal gland. The formation is highly suspicious for malignancy with central necrosis and hemorrhage, and a total size of 197/183/201 mm. Due to elevated D-dimer values of 7.

Mutation Status in Bulgarian Patients with Advanced and Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

somatic variants are predictors of resistance to anti-EGFR therapy for colorectal cancer (CRC) and affect the outcome of the disease. Our study aimed to evaluate the frequency of , with a focus on variants, and their association with tumor location and some clinicopathological characteristics in Bulgarian CRC patients. We prospectively investigated 236 patients with advanced and metastatic CRC.

Feasibility and Safety of Robotic-Assisted Surgery for Rectal Cancer: Short-Term Outcomes of a Pilot Study with da Vinci Xi Platform During COVID-19.

Colorectal cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Approximately, one of three diagnosed colorectal cancers is a rectal cancer. Recent developments in the field of rectal surgery have promoted the use of surgical robots, which are of great need when surgeons face anatomical difficulties, such as a narrowed male pelvis, bulky tumor, or obese patients.
