Pelvic lipomatosis-a rare diagnosis and a challenging management: a case report and literature review.

Pelvic lipomatosis (PL) involves nonmalignant excess fat growth in perirectal and perivesical areas, gaining recognition over three decades. This review addresses its clinicopathological aspects amid controversies, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive examination of current literature. This report outlines a 42-year-old man's diagnostic journey for persistent urological symptoms, ultimately identified as PL.

RETROGRADE INTRARENAL LITHOTRIPSY USING DISPOSABLE FLEXIBLE URETEROSCOPE.

This research aims to characterize efficiency of a flexible ureteroscope that is of single use with regard to surgical time, absence of stone, and complications. From March 2022 to April 2023, the Basrah Urological Centre carried out this anticipated work. After excluding patients with untreated urinary tract infections, excessive blood urea, and ureteral strictures, the study involved ninety-eight patients.

Nicolau syndrome following Intramuscular Diclofenac Injection: a case report and review of the literature.

Nicolau syndrome (NS), also referred as embolia cutis medicamentosa and livedo-like dermatitis, is an uncommon complication followed by drugs administered intramuscularly, intraarticularly or subcutaneously. In this case report we present a case of a 65-year-old lady who had a single dose of diclofenac sodium as an intramuscular injection in her left buttock due to back pain that led to developing what known as NS. She was treated with surgical debridement, drain insertion and skin approximation with antibiotics for 2 weeks with daily sterile dressing.

Facilitating glaucoma diagnosis with intereye neuroretinal rim asymmetry analysis using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: To determine whether intereye asymmetry of a three-dimensional neuroretinal rim parameter, the minimum distance band, is useful in differentiating normal eyes from those with open-angle glaucoma.

Materials And Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 28 normal subjects and 33 glaucoma subjects. Subjects underwent spectral domain optical coherence tomography imaging of both eyes.

Artifact Rates for 2D Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Versus 3D Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Volume.

Purpose: To compare artifact rates in two-dimensional (2D) versus three-dimensional (3D) retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) scans using Spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: Thirteen artifact types in 2D and 3D RNFL scans were identified in 106 glaucomatous eyes and 95 normal eyes. Artifact rates were calculated per B-scan and per eye.

Diagnostic Capability of 3D Peripapillary Retinal Volume for Glaucoma Using Optical Coherence Tomography Customized Software.

Unlabelled: PRéCIS:: The diagnostic capability of peripapillary retinal volume is similar to peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness for diagnosing glaucoma, but with fewer artifacts.

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic capability of 3-dimensional peripapillary retinal volume (RV) versus 2-dimensional peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness for open-angle glaucoma.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional analysis was conducted.

Three-Dimensional Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging For Glaucoma Associated With Boston Keratoprosthesis Type I and II.

Precis: Three-dimensional (3D) spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) volume scans of the optic nerve head (ONH) and the peripapillary area are useful in the management of glaucoma in patients with a type I or II Boston Keratoprosthesis (KPro).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the use of spectral domain OCT in the management of glaucoma in patients with a type I or II Boston KPro.

Materials And Methods: This study is an observational case series.

Diagnostic Capability of Three-Dimensional Macular Parameters for Glaucoma Using Optical Coherence Tomography Volume Scans.

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic capability of three-dimensional (3D) macular parameters against traditional two-dimensional (2D) retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness using spectral domain optical coherence tomography. To determine if manual correction and interpolation of B-scans improve the ability of 3D macular parameters to diagnose glaucoma.

Methods: A total of 101 open angle glaucoma patients (29 with early glaucoma) and 57 healthy subjects had peripapillary 2D RNFL thickness and 3D macular volume scans.

Diagnostic Capability of Peripapillary Three-dimensional Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Volume for Glaucoma Using Optical Coherence Tomography Volume Scans.

Purpose: To determine the diagnostic capability of peripapillary 3-dimensional (3D) retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) volume measurements from spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) volume scans for open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Design: Assessment of diagnostic accuracy.

Methods: Setting: Academic clinical setting.

Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus proviral clone JSRV(JS7), derived from the JS7 lung tumor cell line, induces ovine pulmonary carcinoma and is integrated into the surfactant protein A gene.

Ovine pulmonary carcinoma (OPC) is a contagious neoplasm of alveolar epithelial type II (ATII) or Clara cells caused by a type D/B chimeric retrovirus, jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV). Here we report the isolation, sequencing, pathogenicity, and integration site of a JSRV provirus isolated from a sheep lung tumor cell line (JS7). The sequence of the virus was 93 to 99% identical to other JSRV isolates and contained all of the expected open reading frames.

Three-step procedure for isolation of epithelial cells from the lungs of sheep with jaagsiekte.

An efficient and reproducible technique is described for the isolation of transformed sheep pulmonary adenomatosis cells. It includes three basic steps: prolonged trypsinisation to kill fibroblasts, magnetic removal of macrophages and adherence to remove the rapidly adherent cells. The resultant preparations of lung cells were enriched to 96.
