Aim. To investigate incidental adrenal enlargement clinical characteristics and functional status and analyze functional lesion risk factors. Materials and Methods. This retrospective study included 578 patients with adrenal imaging features showing enlargement. Incidental adrenal enlargement cases (78) were considered eligible. Demographics, functional diagnosis, adrenal imaging features, and ...

In a 10-month period 92 patients have been studied for the occurrence of highfrequency notching in orthogonal electrocardiographic leads X, Y, and Z obtained by high-frequency, high-speed techniques. The same patients were studied radiographically with barium, with routine electrocardiograms, hemodynamically at cardiac catheterization and, in many instances, with left ventricular angiograms. Si...

INTRODUCTION Drug-induced gingival enlargement is a well documented side effect with the use of phenytoin, cyclosporine and calcium channel blockers. The prevalence of gingival enlargement induced by calcium channel blockers is uncertain. Several studies show conflicting results ranging from 20% to 83%. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of gingival enlargement in patients tak...

OBJECTIVES Side effect of medicamentous treatment in hypertension therapy and angina pectoris with calcium channel blockers related to fibrotic gingival enlargement were examined. METHODS In our study we deal with clinico-histopathological and microbiological knowledge from this field underpinned by two case reports treated with antihypertensive therapy using calcium channel blockers. In the ...

uantum dots (QDs), fluorescent inorganic crystals 10 nm in diameter, offer several advantages over organic dyes for labeling biological samples. They resist photobleaching, and their emission spectra are narrow enough that multiple variants (excited by one wavelength) can be distinguished in a given sample. The feasibility of using QDs for biological uses is proven in two recent articles by Jyo...

ENLARGEMENT of the left atrium is well known as one of the earliest manifestations of rheumatic mitral valvular dysfunction. On rare occasions this chamber may become enormous, expanding to the right and posteriorly to form a huge sac that encroaches upon adjacent structures and may eventually rest against the right chest wall. The clinical course of patients who develop such extreme left atria...

The three most common classes of medications implicated in drug-induced gum enlargement are anticonvulsives, calcineurin inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers. Treatment primarily consists of withdrawing the offending agent whenever possible, in addition to maintaining good oral hygiene. Gingivectomy or flap surgery may be needed in resistant cases.

The varying presentations of neonatal breast enlargement on imaging have been underreported in the literature. Our case report profiles a 3-week-old female patient who presented with a history of left breast enlargement with redness and tenderness for 2 days, who was clinically diagnosed and managed for neonatal mastitis, which was actually a neonatal breast enlargement with adjacent cellulitis...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in middle-aged and older men and negatively affects the quality of life. An ultrasound classification for BPH based on a previous pathologic classification was reported, and the types of BPH were classified according to different enlargement locations in the prostate. Afterwards, this classification was demonstrated using magnetic resonan...
