central giant cell granuloma (cgcg) is a benign proliferation of fibroblasts and multinucleated giant cells that almost exclusively occurs in the jaws. it commonly occurs in young adults showing a female predilection in the anterior mandible. multifocal cgcgs in maxillofacial region are very rare and suggestive of systemic diseases such as hyperparathyroidism, an inherited syndrome such as noon...

levamisole is an anthelmintic agent and also immunostimulant drug which is used to treat colorectal cancer. the present study aimed to show accidental consumption of levamisole alone induced multifocal inflammatory leukoencephalopathy. a 53-year-old male was admitted to the neurology department of farabi hospital (kermanshah, iran) with walking inability and recognition disorder. following clin...

polyomaviruses may cause human disease, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. jcv, one of the members of polyomaviridae family, is the causative agent of the neurological disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (pml), which occurs mostly in immunocompromised patients. progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (pml) is a progressive demyelinating disorder of the central nervous sy...

central giant cell granuloma is a benign, aggressive neoplasm composed of multinucleated giant cells that almost exclusively occurs in the jaws though extra-gnathic incidence is rare.multifocal cgcgs of the jaws are very rare and suggestive of systemic diseases such as hyperparathyroidism,an inherited syndrome such as noonan-like multiple giant cell lesion syndrome or other disorders.very few c...

data suggest that the multifocal electroretinography (mferg) may have a role in the assessment of patients with central retinal vein occlusion (crvo). to explore the mferg responses in patients with crvo. mferg responses were recorded at 61 discrete retinal locations from both eyes of 25 patients diagnosed with retinal vein occlusions within 3 weeks of onset. the latencies and amplitudes of ave...

PURPOSE To compare the clinical outcome of different multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) based on information reported in the international literature. METHODS All comparative clinical trials that involved implanting at least one multifocal IOL in patients with cataract or presbyopia were extracted from the literature. Clinical outcomes included uncorrected near visual acuity, uncorrected di...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is often clinically multifocal. In this study, the clinicopathological characteristics of a total of 347 PTC patients treated between 2006 and 2007 were investigated in order to assess the risk factors for tumor recurrence in patients with multifocal PTC. Of all the PTC cases reviewed, 35 (10%) were categorized as multifocal PTC. Patients with multifocal PTC we...

OBJECT The prognosis of patients with glioblastoma who present with multifocal disease is not well documented. The objective of this study was to determine whether multifocal disease on initial presentation is associated with worse survival. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed records of 368 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma and identified 47 patients with multifocal tumors....

multifocal skeletal tuberculosis in not uncommon in the countries with tuberculosis. the clinical onest is insidious and sometimes nonspecific, resulting in delay or misdiagnosis. bone scan appearance is presented in some reports, as multiple abnormal accumulations of tracer. this report describes an unusual presentation of multifocal skeletal tuberculosis.

PURPOSE The visual performance of pseudophakic eyes depends on the type of intraocular lenses (IOLs) that are implanted. Aspherical and multifocal IOLs have recently been developed to improve visual quality after cataract surgery, but multifocal IOLs can be associated with decreased contrast sensitivity (CS), halos, and glare. This study compares the visual performance of monofocal and multifoc...
