GM-CSF-producing lymphocytes in tumor-draining lymph nodes of patients with bladder cancer.

Bladder cancer (BC) is the tenth common cancer worldwide. Despite progress in treatment and the use of chemotherapoeutic drugs, the survival rate of BC patients is still low. Manipulation of the immune system was recently introduced as an interesting alternative treatment for this immunogenic cancer with fewer side effects.

Deep Pinsker and James-Stein Neural Networks for Decoding Motor Intentions From Limited Data.

Non-parametric regression has been shown to be useful in extracting relevant features from Local Field Potential (LFP) signals for decoding motor intentions. Yet, in many instances, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) rely on simple classification methods, circumventing deep neural networks (DNNs) due to limited training data. This paper leverages the robustness of several important results in non-parametric regression to harness the potentials of deep learning in limited data setups.

Genital exam, a missed piece of the puzzle in medical diagnosis, can be lifesaving in men: A lesson from a case of a state of shock due to duodenal metastasis of testicular choriocarcinoma.

Here we reported a case of a 17-year-old man with a history of weakness, vertigo, nausea, vomiting and dark stool within the last three months prior to admission. He was taken to the Emergency Room in a state of shock. After resuscitation, vital signs became stable, but due to low hemoglobin (HB = 5 g/dl), to find the source of bleeding, endoscopy was performed and a mass in the duodenum was detected.

Testicular papillary serous carcinoma of ovarian type, a rare case report, however an important timely diagnostic issue.

A 28 years old man presented with left testicular swelling for recent few months. Ultrasonography and Computed tumor scan was in favor of solid cystic mass. The patient underwent left radical orchiectomy.

Stereological comparison of the effects of pentoxifylline, captopril, simvastatin, and tamoxifen on kidney and bladder structure after partial urethral obstruction in rats.

Purpose: Limited studies have shown antifibrotic effects of pentoxifylline, captopril, simvastatin, and tamoxifen. No comparisons are available of the effects of these drugs on prevention of renal and bladder changes in partial urethral obstruction (PUO).

Materials And Methods: The rats were divided into six groups (n=7).
