Background: Nephron sparing surgery has become a prior treatment for the early stage renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Multifocal RCC is an important reason that causes the recurrence. In this study, we discovered the origination of multifocal RCCs, aimed at providing a theoretical foundation for clinical treatment. Methods: Sixty-five tumors from 27 multifocal RCC patients were collected and microsc...

Objectives This study was designed to analyse the outcomes of secondary multifocal intraocular lens implantation in eyes with white cataracts. Methods White cataract patients undergoing secondary multifocal intraocular lens implantation between June 2014 and January 2015 were evaluated prospectively. As opposed to a conventional primary intraocular lens implantation for an optimal patient, th...

purpose : to evaluate distance and near contrast sensitivity (cs) under photopic and mesopic conditions before and after refractive lens exchange (rle) and implantation of the aspheric acrysof restor (sn6ad3 model) intraocular lens (iol) methods : sixty eyes of 30 consecutive patients after rle underwent bilateral implantation with the aspheric acrysof restor iol. the patients sample was divide...

The new generation multifocal lenses provide the surgeon with several options to meet the specific visual needs and desires of patients. A revolution in presbyopia surgery is being driven by two multifocal intraocular lenses, ReStor and ReZoom. Combined implantation of the ReZoom multifocal lens in nondominant eye and ReStor multifocal lens in dominant eye has been demonstrated to produce stati...

The multifocal papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), with more aggressive and poorer prognosis, is not rare in papillary histotype. Few studies evaluated risk factors and lymph node metastasis in multifocal PTC. The aim of this present study focusing on risk factors and lymph node metastasis characteristics in multifocal PTC was excepted to assist clinical decisions regarding surgery.It was a retrosp...

SUMMARY: We investigated the brain magnetic susceptibility changes induced by natalizumab-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. We retrospectively included 12 patients with natalizumab–progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, 5 with progressivemultifocal leukoencephalopathy fromother causes, and 55 patients withMSwithout progressivemultifocal leukoencephalopathy for comparis...

Abstract Multifocal tumor recurrences in glioblastoma patients are described in 4% 14% of cases. Two recent studies, treating newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients with continuous high-dose tamoxifen (TAM), reported an increased incidence of multifocal tumor recurrences in 45.5% and 33% of study patients. Fifty newly diagnosed patients with glioblastoma were treated with 3 cycles of carboplatin...

chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (crmo) is an inflammatory bone disease usually affecting children. a 9-year old boy presented with recurrent lower extremities pain and discomfort lasting for two years. in every time, symptoms vanished after several weeks. the patient received antibiotics only in one period of bone pain. in other occasions the patient didn’t received any antibiotics. ...

objective: oral non- hodgkin’s lymphoma (nhl) is a relatively rare neoplasm that may develop in the soft tissues or jaw bones, with or without node or marrow involvement. oral lymphomas are often difficult to diagnose as there are no characteristic clinical features and usually appear as non-tender swellings.   case: we describe clinical, radiographic, histopathological and immunohistochemical ...

BACKGROUND Good unaided distance visual acuity is now a realistic expectation following cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Near vision however still requires additional refractive power usually in the form of reading glasses. Multiple optic (multifocal) IOLs are available which claim to allow good vision at a range of distances. It is unclear whether this benefit outweigh...
