Papillary Carcinoma Thyroid in a Nine-year-old Child: A Case Report

      Thyroid enlargement and nodules are very rare in children, but when they occur, the chance of malignancy among these nodules is very high. Thyroid carcinoma is rare in childhood, but in the last two decades, its incidence has increased two-fold. A painless nodule in the neck is the most common presentation of the disease. Dysphagia, hoarseness, cervical lymphadenopathy, weight loss, and f...

Glioblastoma Multiforme in a nine-year-old girl: a case report

Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in childhood. Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is the second most common primary brain tumor in adults. It usually affects the cerebral hemispheres of adults at the 6th or 7th decade of life. In comparison to adult population, GBM is rare in pediatrics and accounts for approximately 3% of all pediatric brain tumors. Pediatric glioblastoma was defined as...

Permeability Study of Cracked Concrete

Cracks in concrete generally interconnect flow paths and increase concrete permeability. The increase in concrete permeability due to the progression of cracks allows more water or aggressive chemical ions to penetrate into the concrete, facilitating deterioration. The present work studies the relationship between crack characteristics and concrete permeability. In this study, feedback controll...

Adamantinoma of the tibia in a nine-year-old child.

Adamantinoma of the long bones is a rare, low-grade malignancy with a marked predilection for the tibia and is usually seen in patients during the second to fifth decades of life. Adamantinomas have also been reported in children, but the histological pattern in this age group is different from that seen in adults. We report a case of adamantinoma of the tibia in a 9-year-old boy. Histologicall...
