Colorectal Cancer Incidence in Iran Based on Sex, Age, and Geographical Regions: A Study of 2014-2017 and Projected Rates to 2025.

Background: While there has been extensive research on colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and its associated factors in Iran, a significant gap exists in studies predicting its future trends. Our study aimed to thoroughly report CRC incidence across Iran from 2014 to 2017, by sex, age, and geographical regions, and provide a projection for 2025.

Methods: This retrospective study utilized data from the Iranian National Population-based Cancer Registry (INPCR).

Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the descending aorta.

High-energy deceleration injuries of the thoracic aorta are associated with high mortality. But among long term survivors, just 2 %-5 % of traumatic aortic injuries fail initial detection and are discovered later (Pozek et al., 2012 [1]).

Inguinal hernia: Lichtenstein VS Shouldice technique repair: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is the most frequent operation in general surgery. The chance of a person having to undergo an inguinal hernia operation during his/her life is quite high, 27 % in men and 3 % in women. European Hernia Society guidelines state that the Lichtenstein technique (mesh-based repair) is the standard treatment of elective inguinal hernia in adults.

Evaluating Diagnostic Efficiency of Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems proposed by the American College of Radiology in Surgically Resected Thyroid Nodules.

Aim: Thyroid nodules are one of the most common clinical findings, with a prevalence of 68% in adults. Thyroid cancer is the fifth most common cancer in women.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems proposed by the American College of Radiology (ACR-TIRADS) for the diagnosis of malignancy in surgically resected thyroid nodules.

Evaluation of carbohydrate loading on clinical results and metabolic responses in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objective: Insulin resistance is associated with a number of postoperative complication and delays recovery. Carbohydrate rich drinks given preoperatively may decrease these deleterious effects. This study evaluated the clinical effects of a preoperative carbohydrate loading in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Bronchoalveolar lavage of ventilator-associated pneumonia patients for antibiotic resistance and susceptibility test.

Background And Aims: Ventilator-associated pneumonia is highly prevalent nosocomial infection among patients under mechanical ventilation. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is effective in identifying the type of pathogen involved and determine the course of antibiotic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of different pathogens involved in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and associated antibiotic resistance and sensitivity pattern.

Complications in Patients with Cardiac Penetrating Trauma.

Background: Cardiac penetrating trauma is a medical emergency that mostly affects young people. Based on the type of injury and associated complications, it can present as a surgical challenge and can lead to mortality.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the complications of penetrating heart trauma among patients referred to Shahid Madani Hospital.

Using new technicque in sigmoid volvulus surgery in patients affected by COVID19.

Introduction: Coronavirus pandemic-initiated Wuhan city, Hubei Province, China. It mainly involves respiratory system and cause fever, cough. However, it has other manifestations such as GI system, CNS and skin involvement.

A retrospective study on the cardiac assessment of isolated sternal fracture patients based on radiographic and clinical outcomes.

Objective: Sternal fracture may be associated with major and serious injuries. In this study, the complications associated with isolated sternal fracture in trauma patients are evaluated based on radiographic and cardiac findings.

Methods: This retrospective study was performed on patients with isolated sternal fractures admitted to the emergency department of (XXX) Madani Educational-Medical.

Diagnostic Value of Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsies and Pathologic Methods for Benign and Malignant Breast Masses and Axillary Node Assessment.

Bacground: The goal of this study was to evaluate the fine needle aspiration (FNA) preoperatively together with Touch Print, Crush Print, frozen section and pathologic methods to reach a diagnosis for patients with breast and axillary masses. Methods: This study was conducted on 107 patients, and included 111 samples of breast and 43 of axillary masses taken at surgery. Data on epidemiological and clinical features of the patients were collected using a questionnaire.

A Comparison between the Tie-over and Closed Suction Drainage Therapeutic Strategies in Patients Suffering from Sacral Pilonidal Sinus.

Background And Objectives: Pilonidal sinus is a disease in the sacrococcygeal region diagnosed through the purulent discharges of the above-said region. Although the exact pathology and etiology of those suffering from pilonidal is not clear yet, the presence of hair seemingly plays a major role in the process of infection and the granulation tissue. Several techniques have been identified for pilonidal surgery.
