Small intestinal lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor of the lymphatic system. Lymphangiomas account for 6% of small intestinal tumours seen in children but area smaller percentage, approximately 1.4–2.4% in adults.Here we describe the first case of small intestinal lymphangioma with bleeding in a 57-year-old woman. She presented with persistent gastrointestinal bleeding and Upper and lower endo...

background: to determine which radiotherapy parameters are associated with the tumor response of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc) patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy. materials and methods: thirty one patients with iiia/iiib nsclc underwent chemoradiotherapy with a median dose of 63 gy. on our actual treatments, we made radiotherapy planning to cover the planning...

Bowel obstruction is a common surgical admission around the world.

BACKGROUND Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid, has shown inhibitory effects on growth of several tumor cell lines in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate chemopreventive effects of berberine on intestinal tumor development in Apcmin/+ mice. METHODS Four-week old Apcmin/+ mice were treated with 0.05% or 0.1% berberine in drinking water for twelve weeks. The number and the size of t...
