Efficacy of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in follow-up patients treated with open partial cystectomy of liver hydatid cysts.

Background And Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of DWI in differentiation of patients with residual cavity and type 1 hydatid cyst (HC) in the liver.

Methods: 32 patients were included. 12 of these patients had type 1 HC and the remainders (n = 20) had postoperative residual cavities.

Clinical and pathological features of lipoleiomyoma of the uterine corpus: a review of 76 cases.

Background: Uterine lipoleiomyoma is a rare and specific type of leiomyoma with a considerable amount of adipocytes.

Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical, pathological and immunohistochemical features of lipoleiomyoma of the uterine corpus, and review its histogenesis and differential diagnosis from other neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions in order to obtain a detailed profile of this somewhat uncommon lesion.

Study Design: Descriptive study.

Gastric histopathological findings and ghrelin expression in morbid obesity.

Objective: The role of Ghrelin, also known as the appetite hormone, is not fully explained in the development of morbid obesity. Plasma Ghrelin level is low in obese and high in slim subjects. Ghrelin-expressing cells were investigated histopathologically in the stomach of morbid obese patients in this study.

The role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the classification of hepatic hydatid cysts.

The aim of the study was to classify different types of hepatic hydatid cysts (HHCs) by measuring the mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI). This prospective study comprised 44 patients. The 44 HHCs were classified using Gharbi ultrasonographic classification (GUC) and then T2WIs and DWIs were obtained.
