Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well differentiated, rare histological type of invasive ductal carcinoma, seen in oldest median age (69 years). We describe a case of a 60 yr old female with large right breast mass of 10 years duration with no nodal involvement. The reasons to present this case are 1) Because of its rarity. 2) Despite having a large tumour size, the axillary lymph node ...

Background and Aim: Decompressive craniectomy can be life-saving for patients with severe traumatic brain injury, but many questions about its ideal application, indications, timing, technique, and even the definition of success of decompressive craniectomy remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with prognosis and outcome of patients with traumatic brain inj...

Soft Computing techniques play an important role for decision in applications with imprecise and uncertain knowledge. The application of soft computing disciplines is rapidly emerging for the diagnosis and prognosis in medical applications. Between various soft computing techniques, fuzzy expert system takes advantage of fuzzy set theory to provide computing with uncertain words. In a fuzzy exp...

background: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) is the most common form of childhood cancer leading to cancer-related death in children. most infants with all harbor recurring structural chromosomal rearrangements that are important initiating events in leukemogenesis but are insufficient to explain the biology and heterogeneity of the disease. mixed-lineage leukemia-rearrangement (mll-rearrange...

introduction: rapid acute physiology score (raps) and rapid emergency medicine score (rems) are two physiologic models for measuring injury severity in emergency settings. the present study was designed to compare the two models in outcome prediction of trauma patients presenting to emergency department (ed). methods: in this prospective cross-sectional study, the two models of raps and rems we...

introduction: in cases with potential diagnosis of ischemic chest pain, screening high risk patients for adverse outcomes would be very helpful. the present study was designed aiming to determine the diagnostic accuracy of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (timi) score in patients with potential diagnosis of ischemic chest pain. method: this diagnostic accuracy study was designed to evaluat...

fuzzy logic has a high potential for managing the uncertainty sources associated with the medical expert systems. application of fuzzy inference model has been widely concentrated for managing uncertainties in computer based practices of medicine. this paper has proposed two fuzzy expert systems for prognosis of the heart disease based on: 1) mamdani inference model, and 2) sugeno inference mod...

it appears that until bone graft has not achieved 100% success, intraradicular diseases remain controversial and therefore, different treatment plans are suggested for them. treating intraradicular diseases depend on many factors: maxillary molars are more prone to bone loss and have worse prognosis. to assess prognosis more carefully these factors should be considered: 1) bone loss: its apical...
