Intravenous leiomyoma with extension to the heart: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction. Intravenous leiomyomatosis with cardiac extension is an extremely rare uterine tumor. We report here a case of intravenous leiomyoma extending to the right atrium, diagnosed in a patient having leiomyoma.

Is non-operative management feasible for splenic injury due to colonoscopy?

Colonoscopy is a widely used diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. While it is a relatively safe procedure, there is a risk of some complications. Splenic injury after colonoscopy is a very rare but a life-threatening complication; around 105 cases have been reported in the literature so far.

Iliopsoas haematoma: a rare complication of warfarin therapy.

Iliopsoas haematoma is a rare complication that occurs in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy. The clinical manifestation of iliopsoas haematoma is non-specific. It can mimic orthopaedic or neurological disorders, including paraesthesia or paresis of the thigh and leg due to compression of the nerve plexus.

Management of delayed presentation of a right-side traumatic diaphragmatic rupture.

Background: Right-side diaphragmatic rupture is an unusual condition after blunt trauma. The diagnosis may be missed during the early period of trauma and may lead to progressive herniation of intraabdominal contents into the thorax. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnosis and treatment options for the late diagnosis of cases of right-side traumatic diaphragmatic rupture.

Lingual arch bar application for treatment of rostral mandibular body fractures in cats.

Objective: To describe a lingual arch bar technique for fixation of rostral mandibular body fractures and report outcome in 16 cats.

Study Design: Original study.

Animals: Cats (n=16) with rostral mandibular body fracture (10 bilateral, 6 unilateral) just caudal to the canine teeth.

[The effect of periosteum on the union of the autoclaved bone graft-host bone: experimental study in rabbits].

Objectives: In this study, we investigated the effect of periosteum on the union of autoclaved segmental bone grafts harvested from rabbit radii and replanted to their beds with intramedullary fixation to host bone.

Materials And Methods: Segmental bone defects, 15 milimeters long, in the middle of the left radius were created in 16 adult rabbits. The resected bones were autoclaved 15 minutes at 120 °C and reimplanted and fixed with intramedullary Kirschner wires.

The impact of cervical dilatation on pregnancy outcomes after cerclage placement in women with a short cervical length.

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the outcome of pregnancies with cerclage placement in which cervical length was <15 mm and 15-25 mm. We further investigated the impact of cervical dilatation on delivery at <34 weeks.

Material And Methods: Women with singleton gestations with cerclage placement due to cervical insufficiency were enrolled into the study.

Impact of aromatase inhibitors on adhesion formation in a rat model.

Objective: To investigate the antiadhesion potential of tamoxifen and anastrozole in a rat uterine horn model.

Design: Experimental animal study.

Setting: University animal laboratory.

Prenatal diagnosis of multiple pterygium syndrome associated with Klinefelter syndrome.

A nonlethal form of multiple pterygium syndrome (MPS) was diagnosed prenatally at 16 weeks of gestation with associated Klinefelter syndrome in the same fetus. The ultrasound findings were cystic hygroma, hypertelorism, micrognathia, low-set ears, flexion contractures of upper and lower extremities and rocker-bottom foot. Genetic amniocentesis revealed a 47,XXY karyotype.
