Background: Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bone is a benign neoplasm with local aggressive behavior. Distal ulna is a very rare place for GCT. Published studies have mainly focused on case reports, and thus there is no consistent treatment strategy for this tumor at this location. This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the oncological and functional results of 2 di...

BACKGROUND Aggressive curettage has been well established for the treatment of giant cell tumors (GCTs) of the bone. The purpose of this study was to review our experience and evaluate the role of different implant materials in patients with GCTs of the extremities after aggressive curettage. METHODS A total of 119 patients with GCTs of the long bone were treated at the First Affiliated Hospi...

PURPOSE To review the functional outcome and local recurrence rate of 29 patients who underwent segmental excision or intralesional curettage with adjuvant therapy for giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone. METHODS Records of 17 men and 12 women (mean age, 30.17 years) who underwent segmental excision (n=18) or intralesional curettage followed by adjuvant therapy (n=11) for GCT of the femur (n=13),...

Background: This study showed the patterns and grading of Asherman’s syndrome on hysterosalpingography(HSG). Asherman’s syndrome (AS)which is termed as uterine synechiae, and intrauterine adhesions (IUA),result in trauma to the basal layer of the endometrium with subsequent scarring. This may be from previous pregnancy, dilation and curettage, surgery, or infection such as genital tuberculosis....

Treatment options of aneurysmal bone cysts include complete resection, curettage, curettage with bone grafting, selective arterial embolization (as a primary treatment or preoperative adjuvant therapy), and percutaneous injection of fibrosing agent. Treatment in pelvic locations is difficult because of the relative inaccessibility of the lesions, the proximity of the lesions to neurovascular st...

PURPOSE To evaluate the different surgical techniques used in the treatment of giant cell tumor of bone and their effect on the rate of local recurrence. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a prospective study of fifty-two patients with giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bones treated at the National Cancer Institute, Cairo University between 1998 and 2002. All patients were evaluated by clinical examina...

Most of state-of-the-art parallel SAT solvers are portfolio-based ones. They aim at running several times the same solver with different parameters. In this paper, we propose a solver called Dolius, based on the divide and conquer paradigm. In contrast to most current parallel efficient engines, Dolius does not need shared memory, can be distributed, and scales well when a large number of compu...
