in this study, cui nanoparticles as an efficient catalyst was used for the synthesis of 14-phenyl-8h-dibenzo[a,i]xanthene-8,13(14h)-diones using aldehydes, 2-naphthol and 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione in aqueous media. in this study, it was found that water was the most effective solvent compared to others. among several catalysts that were tested for this multi-component synthesis, cui nanopa...

objective: to evaluate the adnexal masses with conventional gray scale and color doppler flow imaging and to assess their diagnostic reliability to differentiate benign and malignant adnexal masses. materials and methods: we evaluated 30 patients with adnexal mass. morphological characterization of the mass was done using sassone score. color doppler parameters noted down in each patient and ca...

background: ovarian fibroma is the most common benign solid tumor of the ovary, which is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. the choice treatment for ovarian fibroma is surgical removal, but discussions for the operative approach, laparoscopic or open, in the literature seem to be scant. case presentation: we presented a unique clinical experience of laparoscopic approach to a case of 1...

schwannomas are benign neoplasms with unknown etiology, which apparently arise from neural sheath schwann cells. intraoral schwannomas are solitary, slow-growing lesions occurring at different ages; these lesions are normally asymptomatic and in some cases, they are accompanied by pain and paresthesia if spotted in the intraosseous regions of the mandibles. definitive diagnosis of schwannoma is...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa unicameral bone cysts (ubcs) are benign, osteolytic lesions which are often asymptomatic and are commonly seen in the proximal of humerus and femur. the average age at diagnosis is 9-11 years and there is a male preponderance with a male-to-female ratio of approximately 2-2.5 to 1. we describe a case of 5-year-old girl who presented to orthopedic cl...
