Splenic cysts are rare lesions. Primary cysts have a cellular lining that can be caused by congenital events or parasitic infection (Echinococcus). Secondary cysts have no cellular lining and may be of hemorrhagic, serous, inflammatory, or degenerative origin. We report a case of pseudocyst treated successfully by splenectomy, and we review the literature.

littoral cell angioma is a splenic vascular tumor of splenic sinus lining cells that is considered benign in general. this report describes a case of littoral cell angioma with no malignant histological features. the lesion is composed of anastomosing vascular channels resembling splenic sinus; they are lined by endothelial cells which show mitotic activity very rare. immunohistochemically, the...

Brakes and tires are the major contributors for catastrophic failure of ground vehicles. Braking system is the utmost important besides tire to ensure the safety of users and vehicle. Ensuring good condition of brake lining is very crucial to ensure the efficiency of the braking system, where, the worn off brake lining not only endangers life but also damages the entire brake associated parts s...

Lung disease is the major cause of death in individuals suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF), with abnormal lung-lining fluids occurring as early as early infancy. However, the precise etiology of CF lung disease is still poorly understood. We investigated the structural components of the airway surface-lining layer in targeted Cftrtm1HGU/Cftrtm1HGU mutant mice and non-CF controls. Five lungs pe...

iran has limited water resources that require preservation and reducing water loss from reservoirs, especially in arid and semi arid regions. there are a number of methods available for to control water loss from reservoirs and canals. concrete linings in water reservoirs and ponds are durable, but their efficiency is limited. geomembrane sheets are another method of controlling leakage from wa...

nowadays deep excavations are needed for construction of foundation of high rise buildings, providing space for parking and etc. in some cases deep excavations may be constructed in the vicinity of the subway tunnels and causes unpredicted extra displacements and internal forces in tunnel lining of tunnels which were not designed for them and consequently affect serviceability of tunnel. theref...
