Comparison of the Effect of Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) and Fat Graft on Autologous Bone Grafting in a Randomized-controlled Experimental Skull Model.

Gold standard method for the treatment of critical-sized bone defects is the autogenous bone grafting procedure. A number of new and potentially useful adjuncts currently are being investigated to enhance the success of bone grafting. We propose to evaluate the effect of the most known and easily obtained 2 biological materials, fat graft and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), on bone graft healing.

Is it tuberculosis mastitis or granulomatous mastitis? A thirteen-year experience at a university hospital.

Background: Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a rare inflammatory disease of the breast. Tuberculosis mastitis (TM), one of the causes of GM, is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings of TM and GM are similar, and sometimes it is difficult to make a distinction between these disease states.

Arsenic and selenium measurements in nail and hair show important relationships to Alzheimer's disease in the elderly.

Background And Research Question: The relationships of Arsenic (As) and selenium (Se) to Alzheimer's Disease (AD) are not clearly known. This case-control observational study aims to investigate the possible relationship of these elements to the diagnosis and pathophysiology of the disease.

Methods: This case-control observational study was performed using 40 AD patients in different clinical stages and 40 healthy control subjects, living in a similar environment with low As exposure.

HER-2/Neu and Hormone Receptor Analysis in Breast Carcinomas and Their Association with Clinicopathologic Parameters.

Objective: Invasive breast carcinomas of no special type (IC-NST) are the heterogeneous tumours showing distinct prognostic features even in patients with similar clinicopathological characteristics. To date, many clinicopathological data have been analyzed to make a guess about prognosis and to determine treatment modality. In this study, HER-2/neu status was analyzed by using both immunohistochemical (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) methods, and its correlations with hormone receptor status and clinicopathological parameters were investigated.

Large Cell Carcinoma with Adenocarcinoma in Lung.

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNC) is a rare and aggressive cancer accounting for 3% of all lung cancers. A small percentage of LCNC called combined LCNC, can be seen in combinations with other lung tumor types. Multimodal therapy is proposed for this type of tumor but there is no any significant therapy since it is very rare tumor.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of the Extrinsic Apoptosis Process in the Non-Neoplastic and Neoplastic Prostate.

Methods: The hair and nail trace metal levels of 62 Alzheimer Disease patients at different clinical stages (21 mild, 20 moderate, 21 severe) and 60 healthy control subjects were measured by using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.

Crystal structure of 3,4a,7,7,10a-penta-methyl-3-vinyl-dodeca-hydro-1-benzo[]chromen-9-ol isolated from .

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, CHO, contains two crystallographically independent mol-ecules (1 and 2) with similar conformations. In both mol-ecules, the cyclo-hexane rings adopt a chair conformation, while the oxane rings are also puckered. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect adjacent mol-ecules, forming (6) helical chains located around a 2 screw axis and running along the crystallographic axis.

Erratum: Crystal structure of racemic [(1R,2S,3R,4S,6S)-2,6-bis-(furan-2-yl)-4-hy-droxy-4-(thio-phen-2-yl)cyclo-hexane-1,3-di-yl]bis-(thio-phen-2-yl-methanone). Corrigendum.

In the title compound, C28H22O5S3, the central cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation. The atoms of the furan ring attached to the 6-position of the central cyclo-hexane ring are disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.832 (5) and 0.

The protective effect of single dose tadalafil in contrast-induced nephropathy: an experimental study.

Objective: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is one of the most common causes of acute renal failure in hospitalized patients. The direct toxic effect of contrast media; ischemic damage caused by reactive oxygen species; increased perivascular hydrostatic pressure; high viscosity and changes in the activity of vasoactive substances play important roles in the pathogenesis. Tadalafil inhibits the phosphodiesterase enzyme which destroys nitric oxide.

Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis in a patient with essential thrombocytosis.

In addition to being the main cause of glomerulonephritis in children, poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) has recently been shown in older patients, especially those with malignancy or diabetes mellitus. The pathogenesis of PSGN has been ascribed to activation of complement 3 (C3) of the alternative complement cascade which, along with immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM deposits, is observed in renal tissue. Our aim here is to discuss the probable causes of PSGN developing with isolated IgM deposition in a 52-year-old patient with essential thrombocytosis followed-up over the previous 3.

A rare cause of pericardial effusion: giant cell arteritis.

Giant cell arteritis is a granulomatous vasculitis characterized by medium or large sized vessel involvement. Although extracranial branches of the carotid artery are typically involved, involvement of aorta and its major branches can also be seen. Cardiac involvement has been encountered less frequently and pericardial effusion is rarely encountered.

[Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor: case report].

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor is a rare highly malignant embryonal tumor of the central nervous system that is often seen in early childhood. It is very important to distinguish it from other brain tumors because it has a very poor prognosis and there are differences in its treatment. A case of atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor in a six-week-old male baby is presented.
