Mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is the most common neoplasm of the ovary and includes at least two well- differentiated germ cell layers. Different combinations of mature tissue derivatives with varying arrangements in the tumour cause a wide spectrum of radiological presentation ranging from a purely cystic mass to a complex cystic mass with a considerable solid component. In different imaging mo...

In the last five years in western Mongolia, a neurological disorder and resultant economic loss have developed in goats, sheep, cattle and horses: association of the disease with ingestion of Oxytropis glabra, a toxic plant, was suggested. Affected goats showed neurological signs, including ataxia, incoordination, hind limb paresis, fine head tremor and nystagmus. Three goats, one with moderate...

AIM Autophagy in neurons has been linked to a growing number of pathological conditions in the CNS, but the role of this process in peripheral neuropathy has received little attention. This study aimed to determine whether autophagy is involved in development of peripheral neuropathy in hypoglycaemic diabetic rats. METHODS The lateral plantar nerves, ventral roots, and dorsal roots of insulin...

background and objective: germ cell tumor (gct) accounts for approximately 2-3% of all malignancies in children. in this respect, about 20% of patients with gct are still resistant to therapy. materials and methods: the cross-sectional strategy of this survey was undertaken on 57 patients with germ cell tumor who admitted to ali asghar children hospital during the years 1990- 2003. in this stud...

Struma ovarii or ovarian goiter is a rare tumor which belongs to the group of monodermal teratomas. This may be associated with signs hyperthyroidism and it benign most time. An increase CA125 levels in serum can potentially lead mis-diagnosis malignant carcinoma preoperatively. The diagnosis usually made on histopathology. Given risk transformation, surgical treatment remains only therapeutic ...

In the present article, cases of lacrimal apparatus conditions emerging after a new Coronavirus infection COVID-19. The aim study is to determine causes epiphora in patients infection.
 26 (30 eyes) were examined, aged from 28 70 years, complaining tearing, which emerged for first time ever not earlier than 514 days onset laboratory-confirmed COVID-19, had mild or moderately severe course ...

Neurological signs have been described as “false localising” if they reflect dysfunction distant or remote from the expected anatomical locus of pathology, hence challenging the traditional clinicoanatomical correlation paradigm on which neurological examination is based. False localising signs occur in two major contexts: as a consequence of raised intracranial pressure, and with spinal cord l...

the majority of bovine lameness involves structures of the digit. a prompt identification of problematic cases is needed to be done for prevention of premature culling decision. this cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out at an abattoir in the vicinity of tehran. 41 cases of culled lame cows, with special reference to the claw lesions and their distribution were randomly selected...

Krabbe disease is a lysosomal storage disorder that affects several species including humans, mice and dogs. It is caused by mutations in the GALC gene that encodes galactosylceramidase. These mutations result in lowered activity of this lysosomal enzyme which has an important role in myelin turnover. As a consequence, individuals with Krabbe disease show signs of neurological disease and patho...

Occupational exposure is an important risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and silica dust is one of the most important occupational respiratory toxins. Epidemiological and pathological studies suggest that silica dust exposure can lead to COPD, even in the absence of radiological signs of silicosis, and that the association between cumulative silica dust exposure and a...
