Is there a correlation between the aggressiveness of chronic asymptomatic prostatitis National Institutes of Health category IV and the Gleason score in patients with prostate cancer?

Introduction: We evaluated the correlation between the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grades and the aggressiveness grades of prostate inflammation in newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients with chronic asymptomatic prostatitis National Institiutes of Health (NIH) category IV (CAPNIHIV).

Methods: The study comprised 357 consecutive patients with prostate cancer in whom a cancer diagnosis had been made via a prostate needle biopsy. Histological sections of the prostate biopsy specimens of the patients were reviewed and scored.

Paricalcitol inhibits the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway and ameliorates experimentally induced arthritis.

Background/aim: The Wnt/ß-catenin pathway has important biological activities, including the differentiation of cells and joint formations. The aim of our study was to determine the effect of paricalcitol on experimentally induced arthritis. Materials and methods: Type II collagen combined with Freund's adjuvant was applied to induce arthritis in Wistar albino female rats.

Efficacy of Cortexin and Methylprednisolone on Traumatic Facial Nerve Paralysis.

Objective: The aim was to investigate the efficacy of cortexin and methylprednisolone on recovery in cases of traumatic facial nerve paralysis occurring after facial nerve trauma.

Materials And Methods: The study was performed on 21 healthy rabbits. The buccal branches of the left facial nerves of all the rabbits were pressed, and facial nerve paralysis occurred.

The Suppression of Wound Healing Response with Sirolimus and Sunitinib Following Experimental Trabeculectomy in a Rabbit Model.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of sirolimus and sunitinib on wound healing in experimental glaucoma filtering surgery (GFS).

Material And Methods: Thirty-five male New Zealand pigmented rabbits were randomly assigned to five groups, each including seven rabbits: The rabbits in the control group were not operated on and did not receive any treatment. The rabbits in the sham group underwent trabeculectomy and had one drop of saline instilled four times a day for 14 days.

Spontaneous Rupture of Intracranial Dermoid Cyst Mimicking a Primary Psychiatric Disorder.

We discussed the case of a 14-year-old patient with acute onset of psychiatric symptoms for two months who had been examined and different antipsychotic drugs had been prescribed by several psychiatrists without any neuroradiological imaging. Because of unresponsiveness to the antipsychotic drugs, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed which revealed a ruptured intracranial dermoid cyst. The patient underwent surgery and antipsychotic medications were withdrawn in short time.

Topical infliximab for the suppression of wound healing following experimental glaucoma filtration surgery.

Background: The purpose of this work was to look into the effects of infliximab on wound healing in experimental glaucoma filtration surgery and to compare the antifibrotic effects of this agent to that of mitomycin-C (MMC).

Methods: Twenty-eight male New Zealand White rabbits were randomly assigned to four groups, each including seven rabbits: control group, sham group, MMC group, and infliximab group. The rabbits in the control group were not operated on and did not receive any treatment.

Impact of trastuzumab on wound healing in experimental glaucoma surgery.

Background: To investigate the effects of subconjunctivally administered trastuzumab on wound healing in experimental glaucoma filtration surgery.

Design: Comparative, experimental study.

Samples: Twenty eight eyes.

Renal leiomyoma: ultrasonography and computed tomography features with histopathologic correlation.

Renal leiomyomas are not uncommon mesenchymal neoplasms of the kidney, found in 5% of autopsy specimens and comprising 0.3% of all treated tumors. These tumors arise from the smooth muscle cells of the kidney and are mostly located in the renal capsule.

Invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast: a clinicopathologic study of 103 cases of an unusual and highly aggressive variant of breast carcinoma.

Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) of the breast is an uncommon, highly aggressive breast cancer that may occur in pure and mixed forms. Our aim in this study is to investigate the relationship between clinical, histopathologic, and immunohistochemical features of pure and mixed IMPC cases diagnosed and treated at our institution. One hundred and three IMPC cases diagnosed at our institution over a period of 19 years have been selected.

Adenomatous hyperplasia of the rete testis: Not a true hyperplasia, just proliferation!

There are several tumor-like lesions and miscellaneous neoplasms of the rete testis. We present a case with adenomatous hyperplasia of the rete testis (AHRT). The patient was 24 years old with undescended testis and was referred to our hospital.

A case of asymptomatic riedel thyroiditis with follicular adenoma in a patient with a multinodular goiter: an unusual association.

Background: Riedel's thyroiditis (RT) is a rare inflammatory disease that results in fibrosis of the thyroid gland and invasion to the surrounding structures of the neck. Follicular adenoma (FA) of the thyroid is the most common benign neoplasm of the gland.

Patient Findings: A 42-year-old woman was referred to the outpatient clinic due to a multinodular goiter and thyroiditis.

[Ruptured pulmonary hydatid cyst: a case report].

Hydatid cyst (HD), a very common disease in the world, is often transmitted to humans through dog feces. HD is especially common in countries where agriculture and animal husbandry is prevalent. HD is caused by Echinococcus granulosus.

Factors predicting non-sentinel lymph node involvement in sentinel node positive breast carcinoma.

Objective: In routine practice, axillary lymph node dissection is performed in early invasive breast cancer patients with positive sentinel node biopsy. However, sentinel node is the only involved axillary node in 40-70% of patients, and determining factors that predict axillary non-sentinel node involvement will therefore prevent unnecessary axillary lymph node dissection and decrease morbidity.

Material And Method: In this study, 119 invasive breast cancer patients with sentinel node metastasis who underwent axillary lymph node dissection between 1998-2009 at our institution were studied.
