In 1991, Handlers and colleagues described the Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) as a distinct entity which is a rare benign odontogenic tumour and up to the present, only 78 cases of it have been published. COF usually occurs in an adult patient and has a predilection for the anterior region of the jaws. A 2.8:1 female to mail ratio is typically noted. This article presents a case of COF in a ...

central serous chorioretinopathy (cscr) is an ocular disease which fluid is collected under retina and leads to retinal detachment and blurred vision. risk factors for development of central serous chorioretinopathy are included: alcohol use, uncontrolled hypertension, pregnancy, type a personalityand different ways of corticosteroid use. we want to present central serous chorioretinopathy in a...

purpose: to evaluate the beneficial effects of rifampin for the treatment of central serous chorioretinopathy (cscr). methods: in this non-randomized clinical trial, 39 patients with acute cscr (<2 weeks) were enrolled. initially, complete visual examinations including determination of best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (bscva) using snellen chart; anterior and posterior segment examination...

background: nowadays obesity is considered as a worldwide issue. although genetics is one of the factors associated with obesity, but the predisposing factors are nutrition and environmental factors.  there are several studies conducted regarding the relationship between nutritional factors and general obesity and central adiposity. therefore the purpose of this study was to determine the relat...

purpose: to compare central corneal thickness (cct) measured by galilei and orbscan ii with that by ultrasonic (u/s) pachymetry in unoperated eyes. methods: cct was measured in 184 unoperated eyes of 92 healthy retractive surgery candidates using galilei, orbscan ii, and u/s pachymetry. considered as a benchmark, measurements by u/s pachymetry were compared to those obtained by the other two de...

we present 16 years old girl with primary breast lymphoma involving the both breasts simultaneously and co-incidence of central nervous system (cns) involvement which originated from the breast, in addition to evidence of lymphoma in multi-organ such as skin, mediastinum and some abdominal viscera. bilaterality has been observed in some series, but reports are few and series are often very smal...

a 16 year old female was referred to an oral and maxillofacial radiologist for evaluation of a radiolucent area at mesial radicular aspect of right maxillary central incisor which was detected accidentally during pre-orthodontic treatment check ups. clinical examination showed no particular signs or symptoms except for slightly tenderness to lateral percussion. second radiograph with altered ho...

intracranial aspergilloma is extremely rare. the diagnosis and treatment of invasive cns aspergillosis is very difficult. early diagnosis is important for a successful treatment. here, we report a case of intracranial aspergilloma in an 11-year-old boy in 2013. good outcome was achieved by treatment with a combination of neurosurgical resection and antifungal administration, which we suggest is...

noncoding ribonucleic acids micro-rna is involved in the regulation of gene expression have major roles in the post-transcriptional level. a micro-rna alone several causes down regulation of mrna transcript of the target. thus, small changes in the expression of a micro rna may lead to significant changes in gene expression are different. micro- rna as key regulators of immune cell lineage diff...
