We described an intracranial immature teratoma in a 13 year old Malay boy who presented with history of chronic headache and blurring of vision. Physical findings revealed bilateral papilloedema but no other localizing sign. A Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the brain revealed a suprasellar well defined lobulated midline heterogenous mass which was intraoperatively described as mainly solid tumou...

We report the case of a 56-year old male with severe plaque psoriasis that was successfully treated with ixekizumab, a new anti interleukin (IL)-17 monoclonal antibody. During the first months of treatment he developed a lentiginous eruption in the sites of rapidly resolving plaques. Biopsy and immunohistochemistry reports showed elements of both lentigo and post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation...

The pathogenesis of major depression (MD) remains unclear despite intensive research in the last decades which brought up a multitude of findings illustrating the complexity of this disorder. In this paper we will summarize the evidence pointing towards a structural alteration of the basal limbic system in MD and depression in Parkinson's disease (PD). Transcranial ultrasound and MRI studies in...

sar-kuh porphyry copper deposit is located 6 km southwest of the sar-cheshmeh copper mine, kerman province, iran. based on field geology, petrography and fluid inclusions studies, four alteration types have been identified in the sar-kuh area. early hydrothermal alteration formed a potassic zone in the central parts of mamzar granite/grano-diorite stock and propylitic alteration in its peripher...

High environmental hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been demonstrated to be toxic for fish. However, the response mechanism of fish chronic H2O2 exposure is not yet well understood. Therefore, this study aimed investigate alteration in ion transport gills and analyzed potential after exposure. The common carps were exposed 0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00 mM 14 days. histopathological evaluation results indicat...

Heavy metal contaminated water is a great concern because of its high toxiciy, non-biodegradability, and bioaccumulation. Therefore, non-contaminated fundamental for healthy life. Special attention paid to the health-promoting ingredients germinated whole cereal products. This study aimed (1) examine potentially harmful effects Cu, Mn, Zn on rat livers brains, (2) protective action wheat barley...

Manganese (Mn) is an important trace element present in human body, which acts as an enzyme co-factor or activator in various metabolic reactions. While essential in trace amounts, excess levels of Mn in human brain can produce neurotoxicity, including idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD)-like extrapyramidal manganism symptoms. This study aimed to investigate the protective role of polyphenolic ...

bentonite deposits of economic interest are widespread in tashtab mountains (khur), east of isfahan province, iran. several bentonite deposits have been developed in this area as a result of eocene volcanic alteration. these deposits are classified as khur bentonite horizon. xrd analyses reveal that alteration products consist of na-montmorillonite, kaolinite, quartz, calcite, and crystobalite....

sarbisheh mineral occurrence is located in the vicinity of the tourshab village about 50 km south of birjand, the center of southern khorassan province, east iran. the predominant geologic characteristics of the region are highly-tectonic deformation, and intrusive, granodiroritic-dioritic, to volcanic, dacitic-andsitic rocks associated with broad alteration. to the northern part of the studied...
