A 77-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of fever, excessive sputum production, and dyspnea. immature plasma cells (plasmablasts), accounting for 58% of the leukocytes, and marked rouleaux formation (A). Interestingly, rouleaux formation of the neo...

AIM The objectives of this study were to examine which factors, according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework contribute to the explanation of activity limitations measured by the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ - model I) and which factors contribute to the explanation of participation restrictions measured by the Social Function Scale...

Better understanding of the micromilieu of human tumors in situ is mandatory for further improvement of diagnostic and therapeutic inter ventions. Since investigations of untreated tumors of a wide size range are precluded in humans for ethical reasons, size-dependent changes in the pathophysiology of primary and metastatic human tumors were studied using "tissue-isolated" xenografts in nude ra...

for the endoscopist performing endo− scopic retrograde cholangiopancreato− graphy (ERCP). The papilla appears in a reversed position in the endoscopic view, making cannulation more difficult (l" Fig. 1, 2). The initial problem usually encountered is that of finding the afferent loop and advancement of the duodeno− scope to the papillary area. Negotiating the stoma and the afferent limb is a re−...

To study the newly mentioned significance of the obstructive lesion morphology in coronary artery disease (CAD), a study has been designed to compare this feature between patients having stable angina (SA) or unstable angina (UA) who underwent coronary angiography in Tehran Heart Institute. Study objectives were detection of the angina producing artery (AP A) and its morphologic lesion typ...

The use of mammography film-screen is limited in general radiography. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of mammographic film-screen and standard film-screen systems in the detection of small bone fractures. Radiographs were taken from patients' extremities and neck areas using mammography film-screen and standard film-screen (n=57 each). Fourteen other radiographs were ...
