Objectives To compare the ablation margins and safety of microwave (MWA) perivascular versus non-perivascular liver metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) to determine risk factors for local tumor progression (LTP) after MWA.Methods Between June 2017 2019, 84 were treated: 39 (<5 mm a vessel >3 mm), 46 non-perivascular. Perivascular treated with either conventional or optimized protocols (maxi...

abstract infiltration is a significant process which controls the fate of water in the hydrologic cycle. the direct measurement of infiltration is time consuming, expensive and often impractical because of the large spatial and temporal variability. artificial neural networks (anns) are used as an indirect method to predict the hydrological processes. the objective of this study was to develop ...

Hypertension and kidney damage in the double transgenic rat (dTGR) harboring both human renin and human angiotensinogen genes are dependent on the human components of the renin angiotensin system. We tested the hypothesis that monocyte infiltration and increased adhesion molecule expression are involved in the pathogenesis of kidney damage in dTGR. We also evaluated the effects of long-term ang...

In case a pre-senile patient presented subacutely progressive dementia, secondary dementia, such as paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS), hypothyroidism, confusion, early phase of primary degenerative dementia and prion diseases are to be considered. It is a case of pathologically confirmed, and clinico-pathologically assessed limbic encephalitis with cerebellar degeneration. The patient ...

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is an immunemediated fibroinflammatory condition that can affect various organs, including the pancreas, lacrimal and salivary glands, thyroid, kidney, and lung (1). IgG4-related disease can cause formation of tumefactive and tissue-destructive lesions, which might present as visible organ swelling or functional impairment. The cardiovascular system is a...

Cortical biopsies of 13 patients with clinical diagnosis of congenital hydrocephalus, Arnold-Chiari malformation and hydrocephalus, and postmeningitis hydrocephalus were examined by transmission electron microscopy to study the damage of endothelial cells, basement membrane, astrocytic end-feet layer, and perivascular space. Capillaries from the parietal and frontal cortex showed increased vesi...

conclusions prognosis of this type of tumor, apart from its size and differentiation level, depends on infiltration in tumor-surrounding tissue, perineural and perivascular spread. therefore, it is always necessary to analyze the removed skin especially on margins. introduction squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of lip and oral cavity cancers. in majority of cases it follows quite ...

Lymphomatoid granulomatosis is an uncommon disease characterized by a perivascular pleomorphic cellular infiltration and necrosis. CNS involvement occurs in 20% of the cases. CT findings have been described in five of the previously reported cases of CNS lymphomatoid granulomatosis, and include unifocal, multifocal, and diffuse contrast-enhancing supratentorial lesions. We reviewed the CT scans...

A 53-year-old woman with non-productive cough of unexplained aetiology for two years, developed a sub-acute symmetrical polyneuropathy involving all four limbs, accompanied by fever, cutaneous rash and myalgia in lower limbs. Laboratory studies revealed a leukocytosis with 70% eosinophils and excluded any cause for the hypereosinophilia. An echocardiogram showed increase in thickness of the atr...
