Background: Few studies regarding oral lesions of children and adolescents were reported in the medical literature. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of these lesions in patients from birth to 20 years old in Babol, Northern Iran.Methods: The slides of all cases of oral lesions in children and adolescents, between 1990 and 2012 were obtained from the pathology archives of Sha...

Interleukin (IL)-8 levels are higher than normal in cystic fibrosis (CF) airways, causing neutrophil infiltration and non-resolving inflammation. Overexpression of microRNAs that target IL-8 expression in airway epithelial cells may represent a therapeutic strategy for cystic fibrosis. IL-8 protein and mRNA were measured in cystic fibrosis and non-cystic fibrosis bronchoalveolar lavage fluid an...

Most pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAs) show solid growth pattern, but ductal adenocarcinomas may demonstrate intratumoral cystic appearance or accompany peritumoral non-neoplastic cystic lesions, thus mimicking cystic pancreatic tumors on imaging studies. The histopathologic findings for PDA with cystic feature are divided into neoplastic and non-neoplastic cysts. Neoplastic cystic chang...

a case of cystic craniopharyngioma is presented in which multiple micro-surgeries failed to result in cyst resolution and significant enhancement in patients symptoms. tumor irradiation using leksell gamma knife resulted in complete absorption of the remained cystic parts of the tumor and dramatic improvement in patients symptoms three months after the radiosurgery .possible mechanisms are dis ...

cystic fibrosis (cf) is an autosomal recessive disease, which affects many organs as it impairs chloride channel. this study was performed to evaluate growth status and its relationship with some laboratory indices such as cholesterol (chol), triglyceride (tg), albumin and total protein in children with cf referred to pediatrics center. this study was designed as a cross-sectional study in one ...

background: cystic fibrosis (cf) is a common genetic disorder chiefly characterized by respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical presentation and growth status in cf patients at the time of diagnosis and following conventional treatment. materials and methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted on 67 cf patients who enrolled for at leas...

background: cystic echinococcosis (ce), caused by hydatid cysts, is a widespread and hazard­ous disease in humans and animals worldwide. the disease is very common in turkey, causing serious economic losses and public health problem. in this study, the seroprevalence of equine ce was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). methods: partially purified cyst fluid antigen from she...

results abnormal liver function test was detected in cf patients. as well, liver sonogram was abnormal in approximately one-third of the patients. this study showed a higher prevalence of biochemical abnormality in patients with abnormal livers ultrasonography. conclusions noninvasive paraclinical evaluation methods could be recommended in the patients with cf for early detection of silent live...
