Electrocautery and cryotherapy in inoperable malignant lung lesions

Comparison of cryotherapy and electrocautery in pyogenic granuloma

Background and aim: Pyogenic granuloma is a small, red, benign vascular tumor usually occuring after penetrating injury in skin. Different therapies such as laser, surgery and electro surgery have been offered for its treatment. Each of these therapies has advantages and disadvantages. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of cryotherapy and electrocautery on pyogenic granul...

Malignant skin lesions in transplant recipients

Several advances in the filed of organ transplantation in last decades have resulted in significant increase in the number and methods of transplantation. In this article various aspects of organ transplantation including immunosuppressive medications, common skin tumors seen in transplant recipients, possible mechanisms involved in increased incidence of skin tumors and finally preventive meas...

Differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions by apparent diffusion coefficient value in mass and non-mass lesions

Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is one of methods in evaluation of breast lesions. We aimed to investigate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in breast tumors and their accuracy in differentiating benign versus malignant lesions. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 72 patients with 88 breast lesions were investigated by 1.5-T breast MRI from 2015 to 2017 in Athari...

Endoscopic palliation for inoperable malignant dysphagia: long

This prospective non-randomised trial of 128 selected patients with unresectable oesophageal or gastrooesophageal junction cancers aims to evaluate the initial relief of malignant obstruction by means of bipolar electrocoagulation for both circumferential and submucosal strictures of Nd:YAG laser for the other patients. A limited dilatation was performed initially if a small calibre endoscope w...
