solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (spt) are rare tumors of the pancreas with low malignancy potential and a very good prognostic outcome after surgery. the outcome after radical resection is favourable. a case of solid-pseudopapillary tumor (spt) of the pancreas in a 20-year-old woman is presented. the patient underwent resection of the mass in the pancreatic head and pancreaticoduod...

purpose: to investigate demographic, clinical and histopathologic features of consecutive exotropia. methods: patients with consecutive exotropia who underwent surgery in farabi hospital between september 2014 and april 2015 were enrolled in this study. after complete ophthalmologic examination and far and near deviation measurement, all patients with negative forced duction test underwent 4-mm...

This can be a very satisfying technique, once the surgeon has mastered the necessary manceuvres to keep haemorrhage under control. A very wide variety of urological conditions can be treated by transurethral resection, from bladder tumours to prostatic hypertrophy, and though the resectionist may try to describe a routine procedure, the variety of problems that arise from one patient to another...

There are many challenges in performing carinal resection and, in particular, reconstruction. A better understanding of the safe limits of resection has contributed to the reduced mortality from anastomotic complications. Accurate selection of patients, a meticulous adherence to surgical precision, and optimal postoperative patient care have become mandatory to reduce the risk of the most serio...

Nowadays, endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection has shown effectiveness equivalent to that of gastrectomy and has emerged as a popular technique for curative treatment of gastric cancer. However, noncurative resection or resection beyond the indication may lead to lymphatic and extended organ metastasis resulting in loss of the opportunity for full recovery. Therefore...

Canonical non-homologous end joining (c-NHEJ) repairs DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in G1 cells with biphasic kinetics. We show that DSBs repaired with slow kinetics, including those localizing to heterochromatic regions or harboring additional lesions at the DSB site, undergo resection prior to repair by c-NHEJ and not alt-NHEJ. Resection-dependent c-NHEJ represents an inducible process duri...
