Osteosarcoma of the mandible: A case with a clinical appearance similar to benign lesions.

A 34-year-old woman with complaints of mandibular swelling that started 4 months earlier was referred to the Oral Diseases Department. Based on the clinical and radiographic appearance, the primary diagnosis was an intraosseous reactive lesion. However, the result of histopathology indicated osteosarcoma.

Post-COVID-19 vaccine acute encephalitis in an adult patient: A case report and literature review.

Several vaccines were approved after COVID-19 pandemic, which have been fast-tracked for emergency use. The short- and long-term safety profile has been an area of concern. We presented a patient with encephalitis followed by hyponatremia who developed hallucination and seizure 1 day after receiving the second dose of Sinopharm vaccine.

Sarcoidosis and its oral manifestations: A case report study.

A patient was referred to the oral medicine department with redness and swelling of the lips and cheek, and an intra-oral lesion. Biopsy and laboratory investigations suggested a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. In this study we discuss oral findings associated with sarcoidosis.

Magnetic resonance imaging features of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia: The first preliminary case series.

Rationale And Objectives: There is a rising onus on understanding the common features of COVID-19 pneumonia on different imaging modalities. In this study, we aimed to review and depict the common MRI features of COVID-19 pneumonia in our laboratory confirmed case series, the first comprehensive reported cohort in the literature.

Materials And Methods: Upon IRB approval, eight laboratory confirmed COVID-19 patients who presented to our outpatient imaging clinic underwent chest CT and, once various features of COVID-19 pneumonia were identified, a dedicated multisequence chest MRI was performed on the same day with an institutional protocol.

The Effect of Conjugated Linoleic Acid Supplementation on Body Composition, Serum Insulin and Leptin in Obese Adults.

Background: Studies have reported contradictory findings regarding the effect of a mixture of 2 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers on body weight and some serum indices. This study aims to investigate the effect of daily supplementation of these 2 isomers on body composition and serum leptin and insulin levels in obese adults.

Methods: This randomized, double-blind clinical trial was performed on 54 adults with class I obesity.

Association of the c.-9C>T and c.368A>G transitions in H2BFWT gene with male infertility in an Iranian population.

The H2BFWT (H2B family, member W, testis specific) gene is a testis-specific histone which is involved in the spermatogenesis process. This study aimed to investigate the association of H2BFWT gene c.-9C>T and c.

Primary cryptococcal prostatitis and correlation with serum prostate specific antigen in a renal transplant recipient.

The prostate gland is a rare site of primary infection due to Cryptococcus neoformans; however, it may serve as a site of its sequestration after an occult or treated disseminated infection. Serum prostate specific antigen may correlate with the severity of prostatic inflammation, but its role as a diagnostic and prognostic marker is unclear. We report the first case of primary cryptococcal prostatitis in a renal transplant recipient.

Long-term follow-up and patient satisfaction after surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome.

The purpose of this study was to review the long-term outcomes, particularly patient satisfaction, of patients surgically treated for thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). All patients who had undergone surgery for TOS at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics between 1988 and 1999 were reviewed. A retrospective chart review of 29 patients (36 operations) was performed.
