[ 1 ] - Comparison of the Results of Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy Specimens and Permanent Histopathologic Preparation in Orbital Mass Lesions
Background and Objectives: We aimed at evaluating the efficacy of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) in comparison with histopathology and demonstrating whether cytological study could be a proper diagnostic tool in orbital mass lesions. Materials and Methods: In a cross sectional study during 36 months, patients referred to our ophthalmologic center affiliated to Tehran University of Medical...
[ 2 ] - Group B Streptococcal Sepsis in a Newborn: a Case Report
Newborns’ bacterial infections due to group B Streptococcus (GBS) happen in two forms including early-onset disease or late-onset disease. In this paper, we report a case of early-onset GBS infection in a male infant. A 22-year-old primigravid woman delivers a term normal looking male infant. Nasal flaring, grunting, and poor feeding presented soon after birth. An empiric treatment wit...
[ 3 ] - Frequency of Pathogens and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Bacteria Isolated from Bloodstream Infections
Background and Objectives: Blood stream infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in the world. In this study, we aimed at describing the organisms responsible for septicemia in 2006-2007 and their antimicrobial susceptibility that might lead to proper selection of antimicrobial agents in hospitalized patients with suspected sepsis. Materials and Methods: Microbiology reports of ...
[ 4 ] - Diagnostic Fine Needle Aspiration in a Case of Riedel’s Thyroiditis
In Riedel’s thyroiditis, a rare chronic inflammatory disease of thyroid gland, fine needle aspiration is usually non-diagnostic because most often only follicular cells are obtained and not the fibrous material characteristic of this type of thyroiditis. Therefore the diagnosis is often only established by histopathologic study of the surgically obtained biopsy. The illustrated case is a 46-yea...
[ 5 ] - Head and Neck Nerve Sheath Tumors: A 10-Year Evaluation in Iran
Background and Objective: Approximately 45% of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST) occur in head and neck regions. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are less common and only 8-15% of these tumors occur in head and neck region. In this study, we aimed at evaluating the demographic characteristics, pathologic findings, locations, main clinical presentations and family h...
[ 6 ] - Impact of subcutaneous infiltration of 0.5% bupivacaine on postoperative C-reactive protein serum titer after craniotomy surgery
Background: Tissue injuries may provoke neuro-hormonal response which in turn may lead to release of inflammatory cytokines. We hypothesize that block of afferent sensory pathways by infiltration of 0.5% bupivacaine in the scalp may decrease neuro-hormonal response in the neurosurgical patient. Methods: After obtaining informed consent, forty ASA physical statuses I, II, or III patients betwee...
