Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematologic malignancy that can present with central nervous system (CNS) symptoms. Neurological symptoms may result from the local accumulation of malignant cells in or near the brain (chloroma), infection, hemorrhage, or infarcts from leukostasis. Leukostasisis a syndrome that can include brain infarction due hyperviscosity of blood with vascular occlusion bu...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013203296 DESCRIPTION A 63-year-old woman presented to her general practitioner with progressive cognitive impairment and chronic headache. MRI of her brain demonstrated bilateral extra-axial enhancing frontal lobe masses of similar morphology and enhancement pattern (w...

background patients presenting with a mass require tissue biopsy for histological diagnosis and treatment. fine needle aspiration (fna) is offered as an atraumatic, well tolerated, and inexpensive method for obtaining a biopsy from these lesions. objectives in this study we evaluated the accuracy of fna as an atraumatic method among patients with nonthyroidal masses for diagnosis of neoplastic ...

This paper deals with the problem of the instability regions of a free-free uniform Bernoulli beam consisting of two concentrated masses at the two free ends under the follower and transversal forces as a model for a space structure. The follower force is the model for the propulsion force and the transversal force is the controller force. The main aim of this study is to analyze the effects of...

Introduction: Involving approximately 4% of malignancies in women, ovarian cancer remains one of the most fatal cancers. However, it is important to consider conditions which are not primary ovarian diseases, but mimic their behaviors. In the present study, the epidemiological characteristics of extra-ovarian conditions mimicking ovarian masses are evaluated. Meth...

Introduction: In this paper, a method is presented to classify the breast cancer masses according to new geometric features. Methods: After obtaining digital breast mammogram images from the digital database for screening mammography (DDSM), image preprocessing was performed. Then, by using image processing methods, an algorithm was developed for automatic extracting of masses from other norma...
