Introduction: Glioblastoma multiform is the most common malignant brain tumor, with an invasive nature. Despite the development of conventional therapies such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, because of high recurrence rates, the prognosis remains very poor. Over the last decade, nanotechnology has represented an innovative method as nanoparticle-based drug delivery ...

we present a case report of bupropion-induced diplopia in a 26-year-old woman who suffered from atypical depression. âfter four weeks of taking bupropion (225 mg per day) she complained of headaches, blurred vision, and diplopia. no neurological and ophthalmologic abnormal signs were found. her brain magnetic resonance imaging (mrï) and magnetic resonance venography (mrv) were normal as well. â...

purpose: to assess the relationship between the severity of coronary arteries involvement and the extent and pattern of myocardial scars in cardiac magnetic resonance of patients with history of remote myocardial infarction. materials and methods: the cardiac magnetic resonance images of sixty patients with history of remote st segment or non-st segment elevation myocardial infarction were revi...

background and objectives: multiple sclerosis (ms) is the most common demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with more than 5.2 million people across the world being afflicted with. magnetic resonance im­aging (mri) is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of ms. this study surveys the results of mri of the central nervous system and paranasal sinuses in the sample of ms patients in ker...

conclusion our results concerning cranium morphometry support the theory that hypoplastic posterior cranial fossa due to mesodermal insufficiency may play a role in the etiology of tonsillar herniation. results in individuals with tonsillar herniation, while the front-back diameter of the foramen magnum, the cerebellum height, and the sagittal diameter of the cerebellum increased, the maximum c...

perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (pecoma) is a rare mesenchymal tumor composed of immunohistochemically and histologically distinctive perivascular epithelioid cells. here, we report on the computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings of ovarian pecoma with pulmonary metastasis. the tumor was visible as a multilocular hemorrhagic mass that encased the ovarian vessel...

developmental venous anomaly (dva) is a common lesion formerly known as venous angioma. dvas drain normal brain parenchyma; however, parenchymal abnormalities surrounding dvas have been reported. unilateral putamen and caudate calcification in the drainage territory of dvas has so far been reported in 7 cases, all with deep venous drainage. we present two additional cases of dvas, one with supe...

conclusion the possibility of malignancy is strongly indicated when additional nme lesions show linear or segmental enhancement on preoperative 3t dce-mri in patients with recently diagnosed breast cancer. results on histopathologic analysis of the 88 nme lesions, 73 (83%) were malignant and 15 (17%) were benign. lesion size did not differ significantly between malignant and benign lesions (p =...

background: this study was performed to compare the effects of low dose interferon beta-1 (ifn-β-1) (cinnovex, 30 mcg) and high dose ifn-β-1 (rebif, 44 mcg) on the reduction of the number and size of plaques in magnetic resonance imaging (mri) in patients with multiple sclerosis (ms). methods: this historical cohort study, which was performed in 2014 in sanandaj (western part of iran). 43 ms pa...
