Kimura's disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of unclear etiology, characterized by subcutaneous nodules, mainly in the head and neck region, frequently associated with regional lymphadenopathy. Orbital involvement is infrequent and when it occurs, usually affects the eyelid or the lacrimal gland. We report a case of a 44-year-old man that presented with bilateral slowly progress...

Diseases of the orbital apex and cavernous sinus usually present with involvement of multiple cranial nerves, corresponding to the complex anatomy of the region. In nontraumatic disorders, magnetic resonance imaging is the diagnostic modality of choice. However, its capabilities can be fully used only with thorough knowledge of the complicated topographic relationships in this region. This arti...

As cancer is the top killer diseases in the world, the scientists and researchers have been searching the new drugs and remedy methods. Most of the anticancer drugs are organic compounds which were approved by the FDA while metallodrugs are very rare. In the present time, some palladium and rhodium complexes are going to use as anticancer molecules. The palladium (II) complex has higher antican...
