A 15-year-old indoor/outdoor female, neutered, domestic European short haired cat was presented to our clinic with a history of neck-elongation and wheezing during inspiration/expiration. The first signs respiratory disease occurred two weeks before the clinical presentation. After taking history, examination basic laboratory tests (complete blood count, smear, snap Feline Immunodeficiency Viru...

spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death. we report coronary artery dissection in a 36-year-old woman with retrosternal chest pain 2 weeks after abortion. electrocardiography showed st elevation in leads v2-v4 and st depression in the inferior leads. lab data were normal. cardiac catheterization showed a suspicious thrombotic les...

CASE REPORT A 59-year-old man originally presented with T3 pT3NlMO grade 2 prostatic adenocarcinoma after radical retmpubic prostatectomy. After 9 years he underwent surgical castration for a painful solitary metastatic lesion in the right pelvis, confirmed by highly elevated prostatic acid phosphatase and prostate specific antigen (PSA), and a new metastasis seen on a bone scan of the right 0s...

A lung bioassay method was developed that demon strated that mammary adenocarcinomas appearing sponta neously in BALB/c x DBA/8F, female mice, as well as first-generation transplants of the tumors, gave rise to secondary pulmonary tumors. In a population of 122 mice bearing spontaneous tumors, the incidence of lung métas tases was found to correlate with the size of the primary tumor. The inci...

Spontaneous regression (SR) of cancer, especially lung cancer, is a rare biological event with a mechanism that is not currently understood. Immunological mechanisms seem to be the stronger explanation in SR of a lung cancer. We report the rare case of SR of a lung adenocarcinoma stage IA, in a 75-year-old man, which was incidentally diagnosed and histologically confirmed. Due to the patient's ...

Abstract Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is associated with a marked genomic instability, which underlies disease progression and development of resistance to treatment. In this study, we used an integrated genomics approach identify instability signature. Here show that elevated expression signature correlates poor survival in EAC as well three other cancers. Knockout overexpression screens es...

Background: Candida albicans is one of the most important opportunistic pathogens that suppress immunologic mechanisms of the host. It is speculated that structural and secretory proteins of C. albicans have immunomodulatory effects in cancer. Objective: To evaluate the effects of C. albicans structural and secreted proteins on intratumoral CD4/CD8 ratio as well as the survival rate in BALB/c t...

The present study reports the case of a 71-year-old female with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the skin who developed tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) upon admittance to the First Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning Medical University (Jinzhou, China). The patient presented to the hospital due to multiple subcutaneous nodules, lethargy and weakness, but succumbed without any cancer therapy. Metastases to t...

background: the oncologic behavior of mucinous adenocarcinoma (ma) of colorectal differs from non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (nma). ma is more advanced at diagnosis and has a poorer prognosis than nma. we aimed to evaluate prognostic factors and survival rate in patients with ma compared with nma in western iran. methods: during 2008-2015 in a retrospective study, 83 patients with crc referred to ...
