INTRODUCTION CUSHING'S SYNDROME as a result of ectopic ACTH production has been recognised for several years. Many tumours arising in tissue thought to be derived from the primitive foregut appear to be capable of elaborating a variety of hormones, of which ACTH is the most completely documented. These include tumours of the lung, pancreas, bile ducts, thyroid, thymus and also from other sites ...

An 80-year-old female presented with an incidental finding of a retrosternal mass on magnetic resonance imaging. Ultrasound demonstrated a mediastinal lesion adjacent to but separate from the inferior pole of the right thyroid lobe. Fine needle aspiration cytology demonstrated colloid and follicular cells. At surgery, the right thyroid lobe was found to be normal. A discrete 5 cm nodule was fou...

cesarean scar pregnancy (csp) is a rare, but life-threatening type of ectopic pregnancy. an exact and early diagnosis of csp is very important for prognosis. the aim of the present study was to describe 4 women with csp and discuss their clinical presentations, diagnoses, and various management options along with the published literature. four women with a suspicion of csp or cervical pregnancy...

background:   objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of enos in the fts of women with tep.   materials and methods: in this case-control study, a total number of 30fts samples were obtained from three groups including: 10 fts of women that bearing an ep, 10 fts from the non-pregnant women at luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, and 10 fts of healthy pregnant women (n=10...

a case of cervical ectopic pregnancy in a 37 years old woman with history of two previous cesarean sections and one dilatation/curettage. the case was the advanced cervical pregnancy reported in iran, which diagnosed in 12 week of gestation by mri and finally treated by hysterectomy.

background: ectopic pregnancy is one of the main problems in women in reproductive age that needs special attention and appropriate strategy should be managed. in some cases expectant management seems good strategy without any medicine or surgery and their possible side effects. but are the outcomes always the same? which outcomes should we expect? case: we have reported 2 patients whose ectopi...

The paper presents the analysis of genus Thymus flora South-East North Caucasus. Revealed total species, compiled an aspect , and conducted analysis's bioecological, geographical composition. In investigated territory, we have registered eight thymus distributed mainly in xerophilic types vegetation: steppe, friganoid, alpine, meadow-steppe, meadow societies.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to assess the clinicopathologic features, treatment outcomes, and role of adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) in cervical thymic neoplasm involving the thyroid gland or neck. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical and pathologic records of eight patients with cervical thymic neoplasm were reviewed retrospectively. All patients underwent surgical resection, includin...

The molecular mechanisms regulating the activity of the TCRα gene are required for the production of the circulating T cell repertoire. Elements of the mouse TCRα locus control region (LCR) play a role in these processes. We previously reported that TCRα LCR DNA supports a gene expression pattern that mimics proper thymus-stage, TCRα gene-like developmental regulation. It also produces transcri...
