Diagnostic Accuracy of Biomarkers and International Ovarian Tumor Analysis Simple Rules in Diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer.

This study investigated whether combining International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) Simple Rules with tumor biomarkers would improve the diagnostic accuracy for early detection of adnexal malignancies. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of suspected adnexal tumors was performed in 226 women admitted for surgery at the University Clinical Center of Kosovo. Primary outcome was the diagnostic accuracy of the combination of adnexal mass biomarkers and IOTA Simple Rules.

A rare complication with superior mesenteric vein thrombosis after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: A case report.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has become a frequent procedure to reduce weight and morbid obesity. The procedure involves laparoscopic resection of more than 75% of the greater curvature of the stomach, resulting in early satiety and neuro-hormonal changes that collectively promote effective weight loss. We present a rare case of complication of superior mesenteric vein thrombosis (SMVT) and splenic vein after LSG, with consequent bowel ischemia that was treated with open laparotomy and appropriate anticoagulation therapy.

Biliary cystadenoma: Case report with MRI findings and surgical confirmation.

Biliary cystadenoma is a very uncommon benign cystic neoplasm involving the liver and the biliary tract. Most common presentations include right upper quadrant pain, nausea, vomiting, obstructive jaundice, and enlarging liver size. It can mimic many more commonly occurring diseases such as hepatic cyst, hepatic abscess, hydatid disease of the liver, and hepatic tuberculosis.

A follow-up case of relapsing tuberculous spondylodiscitis, complicated with soft-tissues abscess and percutaneous fistula.

Spinal tuberculosis (Pott's disease) is a frequent manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. It manifests as destruction of 2 or more adjacent vertebral bodies followed with destruction of the intervertebral disc, leading to a condition known as spondylodiscitis. Tuberculous spondylodiscitis represents with back pain, fever, joint stiffness, loss of spinal mobility, neurological symptoms, vertebral body collapse, gibbus formation and kyphosis.

Pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma in the presence of reactivated tuberculosis: A case report.

We report the case of a 55-year-old male patient with concomitant pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma and reactivated tuberculosis, documented with multiple MSCT (multi-slice computed tomography) changes. The patient initially presented with productive cough, sluggishness, fatigue, voice hoarseness and tuberculosis changes in MSCT. Later, he was diagnosed with pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma, which was confirmed by sputum cytology and transthoracic biopsy.

Magnetic resonance imaging criteria for thrombolysis in hyperacute cerebral infarction.

Purpose: Selection of patients with cerebral infarction for MRI that is suitable for thrombolytic therapy as an emerging application. Although the efficiency of the therapy with i.v.
