Background: Conservative management is generally the primary treatment for intramuscular hemangimas. However,many patients will require surgery later in their life, after suffering a long period of pain. We aimed to evaluate theoncologic and functional outcomes of surgery as the initial treatment of single-muscle hemangiomas.Methods: Medical profiles of 17 patients with hemang...

Introduction: Lung resection surgery is a challenge to thoracic surgeons. Outcome of surgery depends on patients’ tolerance to reduced lung volume and hemodynamic alterations. The present study aimed to investigate the changes in blood gases and hemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing lung resection surgery and the associated clinical implications. Materials and methods: This study includ...

BACKGROUND Due to various options for tissue resection and preoperative markings, many different reports on aesthetics and patient’s satisfaction exist. To assess differences among tissue resections and risk factors, we herein analyzed satisfaction levels of patients that underwent upper blepharoplasty. METHODS A retrospective analysis during the period from January 2006 to June 2013 w...

background : meningiomas are common benign tumors of the central nervous system. patients with meningiomas achieve postoperative optimal functional recovery, but there is a probability of tumor recurrence months or years after surgical resection. this study aims to evaluate the prevalence of recurrent meningioma and the correlation between tumor recurrence and certain factors. materials and met...

myxoid is a common type of liposarcoma. cardiac metastasis of sarcoma is a rare diagnosis. transthoracic echocardiography is a useful tool for beginning the diagnosis. curative resection of metastasis and then combination systemic chemotherapy for advanced disease is recommended. we report a 50 year old woman who presented with a cardiac metastasis of high grade round cell liposarcoma to right ...

Many patients with liver tumors cannot benefit from resection due difficulty anatomical site lesion.Of these patients, only some can ex vivo resection, which consists a complete hepatectomy, bench tumor self-transplant. 2. Materials m...

The process of functional adaptation after extensive small bowel resection is complex and imprecisely understood. In vivo electrophysiological measurements for monitoring the functional adaptive process after massive small bowel resection in Brown-Norway rats were evaluated. Rats underwent either a sham operation (SH) or a 90% small bowel resection (SB). Standard rat chow was fed in unlimited q...

    Background: Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the bone is a benign neoplasm with local aggressive behavior. Distal ulna is a very rare place for GCT. Published studies have mainly focused on case reports, and thus there is no consistent treatment strategy for this tumor at this location. This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the oncological and functional results of 2 di...
