On-slide clearing and imaging of 100-µm-thick histological sections using ethyl cinnamate and epifluorescence.

Thick histological samples are difficult to image without proper tissue clearing methods. Among these methods ethyl cinnamate (ECi)-based clearing preserves antigenicity and is compatible with immunofluorescent labeling. In contrast to many other clearing protocols, ECi-based clearing is fast and is done as a final step after standard immunofluorescent labeling protocols.

Dabigatran Etexilate Related Unilateral Adrenal Hemorrhage.

A 63-year-old male presented to our clinic with computed tomography data of a large tumor of the left adrenal gland. The formation is highly suspicious for malignancy with central necrosis and hemorrhage, and a total size of 197/183/201 mm. Due to elevated D-dimer values of 7.

Frantz Tumor: A Case Report of Solid Pseudopapillary Tumor of Pancreas.

The solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) is a rare pancreatic lesion that usually affects young and middle-aged patients and has a female predominance and low malignant potential. The exact histogenesis of this tumor is still unclear. We present the case of a 60-year-old female patient with occasional abdominal pain.

Feasibility and Safety of Robotic-Assisted Surgery for Rectal Cancer: Short-Term Outcomes of a Pilot Study with da Vinci Xi Platform During COVID-19.

Colorectal cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Approximately, one of three diagnosed colorectal cancers is a rectal cancer. Recent developments in the field of rectal surgery have promoted the use of surgical robots, which are of great need when surgeons face anatomical difficulties, such as a narrowed male pelvis, bulky tumor, or obese patients.

Assessment of students' satisfaction with virtual robotic surgery training.

Objective: Nowadays, in Bulgaria there is a trend of increasing entry into the surgical field of robot-assisted surgery operations, which suggests a need for the establishment of a large number of specialists in this field in a short period. Based on these arguments, the Medical University of Varna was the first university in the country to introduce a robotic surgery training program for medical students. The study aims to investigate the medical students' satisfaction on robotic surgery training provided at Medical University of Varna with da Vinci Skills Simulator.
