Keratoacanthoma-like squamous cell carcinoma (KA-like SCC) is a malignant classification of KA. We report here case surgical combined with 5-aminolevulinic acid-photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) to treat KA-like SCC in an elderly male successful tumor removal. The resection was performed before ALA-PDT. One week later, the lesion site further treated 20% ALA for 3 h when it unknown whether resecte...

BACKGROUND Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is one of the most common hospital-acquired infections. However, many cases treated as hospital-acquired CAUTI are actually asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU). Evidence-based guidelines recommend that providers neither screen for nor treat ABU in most catheterized patients, but there is a significant gap between these guidelines and cli...

INTRODUCTION Urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs in 1.1% of girls and 1.4% of boys during the first year of life. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) is usually detected incidentally in 0.9% of girls and 2.5% of boys at this age. The aim of the study was to assess the usefulness of measurement of pro-inflammatory urine interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 concentrations and anti-inflammatory transforming gr...

objective(s): to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma (pparg) with essential hypertension (eh) and additional role of gene– high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl) interaction. materials and methods:a total of 1640 patients with eh (806 males, 834 females), with a mean age of 52.5±12.6 years, were selec...

compound of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ala) has herbicide behavior in high concentration. while, it acts as growth regulator at low concentrations and causes resistance to various stresses incluing cold and salibity. therefore the exogenous application of 5-aminolevulinic acid was investigated to induce cold stress tolerance in young soybean plants (glycine max l.). the experiment was conducted a...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of additional acid etching and curing mechanism (light-curing or self-curing) of a composite resin on the dentin bond strength and compatibility of one-step self-etching adhesives. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen human permanent molars were randomly divided into eight groups according to the adhesives used (All-Bond Universal: ABU, Clear...

A sharp, well-defined interface between a late Pleistocene carbonate sandstone ridge (kurkar) and Holocene unconsolidated coastal siliciclastic sediment has formed largely as a consequence of recent structural activity along the NW Nile delta coast at Abu Qir, Egypt. Joint patterns in the coastal kurkar exposed on land, and its irregular and dislocated configuration beneath Abu Qir Bay, suggest...

In molting animals, a cuticular extracellular matrix forms the first barrier to infection and other environmental insults. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans there are two types of cuticle: a well-studied collagenous cuticle lines the body, and a poorly-understood chitinous cuticle lines the pharynx. In the posterior end of the pharynx is the grinder, a tooth-like cuticular specialization t...
