The first case of myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma affecting the maxillary bone.

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is rare and malignant soft-tissue neoplasms that typically present in the extremities. In the literature, MIFS has been reported in the groin, back, neck, nose, and temporal regions in addition to the extremities. We report a case of MIFS presenting with the complaints of nasal bleeding, purulent nasal discharge, and swelling on the right side of his face.

Does smoking change expression patterns of the tumor suppressor and DNA repair genes in the prostate gland?

Objectives: Somatic mutations can be present in clonally expanded cell populations in nonmalignant tissues, which are detectable at tissue-level resolution. Some of the mutational changes may arise due to smoking. We aimed to find out changes in carcinogenic gene expressions related to smoking in nonmalignant prostate gland epithelia.

Facial pigmentation with demodex Mite; a mere coincidence or an association?

Demodex mites may induce inflammatory cutaneous reactions such as papulopustular rosacea and demodex folliculitis; both may lead to post inflammatory pigmentation. A 59-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic, hyperpigmented plaque on his face. Histological and clinical findings displayed Riehl-like facial pigmentation.

Evaluation of different p16 immunostaining methods and the prognostic role of p16/Ki-67 combined expression in non-muscle invasive bladder cancers.

There are many scoring methods evaluating the expression of p16 in the bladder immunohistochemically. In this study our aim was to determine an optimal p16 scoring method by discussing different staining methods related with p16 expression in bladder cancers and to establish the association of p16 and Ki-67 expressions, alone or in combination, with recurrence and progression. Ninety patients undergoing their first transurethral resection for bladder cancer and newly diagnosed papillary urothelial carcinoma (pTa and pT1) were included in the study.

The effects of ankaferd blood stopper on the recovery process in an experimental oesophageal perforation model.

Background: Oesophageal perforation is a life-threatening pathology that is generally treated conservatively; however, surgical procedures are frequently performed. A topical haemostatic agent, Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS), also has beneficial wound-healing effects.

Aims: This study aimed to determine the effects of ABS following experimental oesophageal perforations.

Intraosseous epidermoid cyst associated with impacted mandibular wisdom teeth: an uncommon entity.

Epidermoid and dermoid cysts of the jaws are seen rarely. The formation theories of the intraosseous epidermoid cyst (IEC) are not clear. The radiographic appearance is similar with unilocular cysts.

Pityriasis rosea-like drug eruption due to bupropion: a case report.

Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a common, acute, and self-limited inflammatory skin disease. The typical clinical presentation includes the appearance of a primary "herald" patch followed within days to weeks by the onset of secondary scaly skin eruptions distributed along the skin tension line in most cases. Although PR is a well-known and relatively common disease, its cause is still not completely understood.

A combination of plasma DAO and citrulline levels as a potential marker for acute mesenteric ischemia.

Introduction: There is no valid and reliable diagnostic test for early diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI). The aim of this study was to measure the plasma levels of diamine oxidase (DAO) and citrulline in AMI to gain insight into its early diagnosis.

Material And Methods: A total of 21 Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups, that is, control group, short-term ischemia group, and prolonged ischemia group.

Physical activity and cardiovascular disease risk factors in urban school children.

Although the clinical signs of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are not evident until adulthood, many of the risk factors have their roots in early childhood. The aim of this study was to examine physical activity levels (PA) and the incidence of CVD risk factors in a small population (n=102) of primary school children in Dublin. Risk factors measured included overweight/obesity, blood lipids, blood pressure (BP), physical fitness and PA levels.

Ureteral quadruplication with three blind-ending branches.

A case of left-sided ureteral quadruplication with 3 blind-ending branches detected in a 16-year-old boy was presented by its step by step diagnostic work-up and treatment plan which is the first published case in the literature.

The effect of octreotide, an analog of somatostatin, on bleomycin-induced interstitial pulmonary fibrosis in rats.

In this study, octreotide (OCT), a synthetic somatostatin analog, was tested for its beneficial effects in the prevention of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) induced by bleomycin (BLM) in rats by histological examination and by evaluating tissue OH-proline levels. Thirty male Wistar rats were divided randomly into three groups: group I: intratracheal (i.t.

The evaluation of topical administration of Bellis perennis fraction on circular excision wound healing in Wistar albino rats.

Context: Bellis perennis L. (Asteraceae) has been used traditionally in the treatment of bruises, broken bones, and wounds by European people.

Objective: To investigate the wound healing activity of B.

Acquired toxoplasmosis of the buccal area with extranodular involvement: report of an unusual case.

Acquired toxoplasmosis is a common parasitic infection in humans. It can be caused by ingestion of infected meat or other food that has been contaminated by the feces of infected cats. Approximately 90% of immunocompetent patients with acquired toxoplasmosis are asymptomatic and undiagnosed; in the other 10%, toxoplasmosis manifests as a nonspecific, self-limited illness that usually does not require treatment.

Two maxillary lesions containing bony/calcified shells.

Because of the close anatomical relationship between the maxillary sinus and the adjacent dental region, determining the primary site of cysts in these regions can be a diagnostic dilemma. In this article, two cases with similar radiological findings are presented. These cases had lesions involving the maxillary sinus and the adjacent alveolar process; the lesions were surrounded with egg-shaped, linear opacities.
