Investigation of electrocardiography and echocardiography changes after adjuvant radiation therapy of left-sided breast cancer.

Introduction: The primary objective of radiation therapy (RT) is to deliver lethal radiation doses to abnormal cancer cells so that healthy cells are exposed to minimal radiation. In the present study, changes in electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography(ECHO) following adjuvant RT were investigated in patients with left-sided breast cancer.

Materials And Methods: 30 patients with left-sided breast cancer who had previously undergone breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy underwent RT after completing chemotherapy from February 2019 to January 2020.

The Effects of the Obesity Paradox and In-Hospital and One-Year Outcomes in Patients With ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI): Results From a STEMI Registry.

Background: Obesity is strongly associated with increased cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and cardiovascular risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. However, numerous studies have suggested the existence of an "obesity paradox" in which overweight and mildly obese patients often exhibit a better outcome than their leaner counterparts. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize the association between BMI and in-hospital and one-year outcomes.

Effect of Smoking Cessation on Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction after Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Background: Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of global mortality. Moreover, Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) is the most important predictor of post-AMI mortality. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between smoking cessation and LVEF following one year from the STEMI.

A Survey of Human Papillomavirus and Epstein-Barr virus Immunohistochemical Status in Patients with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC).

Background: Head and neck cancers are among the most prevalent cancers in the body. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of P16 and Epstein-Barr virus/latent membrane protein (EBV/LMP1) markers by immunohistochemistry in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Methods: In this study, all tissue samples of head and neck biopsies from 75 patients with confirmed diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) during 2016 to 2018 who admitted to the pathology laboratory of Imam Khomeini Hospital, Iran were selected.

A Systematic Review of Nasal Chondromesenchymal Hamartoma (NCMH) with a New Case Report.

Nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma (NCMH) is a very rare, benign sinonasal tract tumor commonly affecting infants. In this paper, in addition to presenting a systematic review of the literature on NCMH, we also report an unusual case of NCMH in an adolescent patient. A systematic review conducted following the PRISMA guidelines.

Circadian pattern of symptom onset in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in western Iran.

Background: Circadian variation is known as an important factor in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Moreover, the circadian pattern may help in disease prevention and better medication prescription. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the circadian pattern of symptom onset in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Mucinous eccrine carcinoma of the eyelid: A case report study.

Background: Primary mucinous eccrine carcinoma (PMEC) is a quite rare malignant tumor that typically involves the head and neck region in approximately 75% of patients and the periorbital area is the most common area.

Case Presentation: A 57-year-old man was seen with a painless red mass involving the left lower eyelid for the past 7 months. Examination revealed a small mass measuring 0.

Laryngeal Lipoma: A Clinicopathologic Case Report.

Lipoma is not usual in the head and neck and the intrinsic form of isolated laryngeal lipoma is quite rare. Because isolated laryngeal lipoma symptoms are uncharacteristic and often has no systemic manifestation, clinical diagnosis is difficult. We describe an extremely rare case of intrinsic laryngeal lipoma.
