Background & objective:Primary pleural neoplasms are rare entities compared with the pleural involvement by metastatic carcinoma. The current study aimed at investigating the complete spectrum of pleural neoplasms and differentiating between them with the aid of immunohistochemistry (IHC). Methods: Consecutive pleu...

Introduction: Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide. The modalities to diagnose AD are generally expensive and limited. Both the central nervous system (CNS) and the retina are derived from the cranial neural crest; therefore, changes in retinal layers may reflect changes in the CNS tissue. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) machine can show delicate retinal layer...

purpose: to evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes of surgical management of retinal detachments associated with choroidal colobomas methods: in this retrospective study, 31 eyes of 31 patients with coloboma-related retinal detachments enrolled. all the eyes underwent standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy with internal tamponade with nonheavy silicon oil in 24 (77.4%) or 20% sulfur...

purpose: to compare the anatomical results of scleral buckling surgery with and without retinopexy in the management of phakic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (rd). methods: in this retrospective, nonrandomized, interventional, comparative case series, data of 71 phakic eyes of 71 patients with rhegmatogenous rd that had undergone scleral buckling were evaluated. the procedure in 41 consecuti...

synchronous cancer is referred to two or more histological distinct malignancies diagnosed during the same hospital admission. globally more than 1 million people get colorectal cancer yearly resulting in about 0.5 million deaths. vulvar cancer is the fourth most common gynecologic cancer (following the corpus uterine cancer, cancer of ovary and cervix) and comprises only 4 percent of malignanc...

   Introduction: Retinal vein occlusion  is a common vascular disorder disrupting vision. Two basic types of RVO are branch retinal vein occlusion and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).  Retinal vein occlusion is a multifactor process including systemic illness and local retinal factors.RVO may be associated with atherosclerotic risk factors. We analyzed the role of 2 dimensional transthor...

Radiation damage to the retinal vascular system has been held responsible for small vessel occlusion, neovascularization, haemorrhages, and exudates when the whole eye has been involved during the course of therapeutic irradiation for the treatment of retinoblastoma (Martin and Reese, I945; Howard, i966), basal cell carcinoma of eyelids or nose, and carcinoma of the paranasal sinuses (Perrers-T...
