In order to assess the efficacy of hysteroscopic endometrial ablation and factors which are important in it's success, a prospective, randomized study was performed in Shiraz university hospitals between Sep. 1995 to Feb. 1998. 50 patients with chief complaints of menorrhagia that were in reproductive age (25- 50 years) and had shown no response to medication and D&C underwent endometrial ...

prevalence of thyroid nodules diagnosed by ultrasonography has been reported to be high (about 50%) probably due to iodine deficiency in our region. most thyroid nodules benign but some require treatment for cosmetic reasons or subjective symptoms. the conventional method of treatment in iran is surgery. for the first time in iran, from february 2016, 50 patients with 63 nodules (solid or cysti...

introduction: thermal ablation by microwave (mwa) has proven efficacy in treatment of primary and metastatic cancers. soft tissue tumors could be ablated completely using mwa. however, bony tissue metastasis particularly spinal vertebral metastasis ablation has not reported yet. case presentation: a 50 year old male patient with primary diagnosed colon cancer undergone surgical resection of tum...

introduction: laser-assisted vaporization of prostate tissue by means of the potassiumtitanyl- phosphate (ktp) laser is in clinical use. alternative laser sources are available but are lacking clinical experience.the 980 nm wavelength diode laser provides good hemostasis, in addition to a more rapid ablation rate. the aim of this study is approving the capability, feasibility, and good post-ope...

background dysfunctional uterine bleeding (dub) is the most common gynecologic disorder in women of reproductive age. medical treatments are often ineffective. endometrial ablation is an alternative to hysterectomy for these women. objective to evaluate the response to treatment rate of the cavaterm tm plus technique for management of menorrhagia secondary to dysfunctional uterine bleeding (dub...

conclusions echocardiography and 2d speckle tracking strain imaging shows improvements in left ventricular deformation indices in atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (avrt) and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (avnrt) patients for the mean systolic strain and strain rate at 24 hours and the three-month follow-up. in spite of the normal lvef, even during sinus rhythm, deformation ...

Background: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a novel tumor ablation technique. IRE is associated with high electrical fields and is often reported in conjunction with thermal damage caused by Joule heating. For good response to surgery it is crucial to produce minimum thermal damage in both tumoral and healthy tissues named Non-Thermal Irreversible Electroporation(NTIRE). Non-thermal irrev...
