Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) is associated with a wide spectrum of gastroduodenal diseases. Strong evidence has shown that H. pylori is implicated in the development of gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, MALT lymphoma and gastric cancer. The result of multiple clinical trials had also found out that eradication of H. pylori results in cure of gastric and duodenal ulcers. The improveme...

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant neoplasm in humans, accounted for at least 75% of non-melanoma skin cancers. The BCCs are directly related to intense exposure to ultraviolet radiation, being diagnosed preferentially in body areas with larger sunlight exposure. However, these tumors may appear in areas which are normally covered from ultraviolet light. Vulvar ...

The rare 'burned out' phenomenon in germ cell tumors is known as the presence of an extragonadal germ cell tumor without traces of neoplasm in the testis. This condition is different and less common from the primary extragonadal germ cell malignancies. These malignancies are treated surgically with or without adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy and their prognosis is better than that of other...

Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a benign lipomatous tumor predominantly occurring at the posterior neck and shoulder area. Face, forehead, scalp, cheek, perioral area, and upper arm are less common sites. In oral cavity, it is a relatively uncommon neoplasm, particularly in tongue, which is relatively devoid of fat cells. We present a case report of SCL located on the left lateral border of the to...

Developments in the determination o some less common anions and in the separation of anions of similar species are described. The anions which are considered are the Group Va hexalluorides. vanadates, tungstates. the per-acids. oxyanions of phosphorus and some organic acids. A new method for the determination of chloride, based on GLC. and capable of very high sensitivity is mentioned. This met...

In this paper is reported the first avian tumor that has proved transplantable to other individuals. It is a spindle-celled sarcoma of the hen, which thus far has been propagated into its fourth tumor generation. This was accomplished by the use of fowls of pure blood from the small, intimately related stock in which the growth occurred. Market-bought fowls of similar variety have shown themsel...

Mucin Hypersecreting Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm is a rare neoplasm that arises from ductal epithelial cells. This entity is distinct from the more commonly known Mucinous Cystadenoma or Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma. Despite this distinction, it has been erroneously categorized with these more common cystic neoplasms. Characteristic clinical presentation, radiographic, and endoscopic findings...
