Backgrounds: Crying seizures is a rare type of seizure. Some scholars believe that crying seizures are mainly associated with lesions in the anterior temporal lobe, typically the non-dominant hemisphere, which has close connections with negative emotions. However, the role of amygdaloid lesions in crying seizures is not fully understood. Methods: By a patient with crying seizures and lesions in...

An 85 year male patient complaining epigastric discomfort was admitted. From the esophagogastroduodenoscopy, three early gastric cancer (EGCa) lesions had been identified and these were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma with poorly differentiated cell type. The patient underwent operation. From the post-operative mapping, however, additional 4 EGCa lesions were found, and the patient was diagnosed wi...

AIM: to evaluate the effect of surgery for metastases in retroperitoneal and pelvic lymph nodes on overall disease-free survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS: analysis included 30 patients with node colorectal cancer. Synchronous nodes, were diagnosed 21/30 (70%). RESULTS: median survival who underwent lymphodissection was 32 13 months, respectively. Recurrence occurred 14/30 (47%) patients. One-, two...

This paper represents the performance of a squirrel-cage High Temperature Superconducting Induction/ Synchronous Motor (HTS-ISM) based on nonlinear electrical equivalent circuit. The structure of the HTS-ISM is the same as that of the squirrel-cage type induction machine, and the secondary windings are fabricated by the use of the HTS wires. It has already been shown that based on the experimen...

Synchronous cancer is referred to two or more histological distinct malignancies diagnosed during the same hospital admission. Globally more than 1 million people get colorectal cancer yearly resulting in about 0.5 million deaths. Vulvar cancer is the fourth most common gynecologic cancer (following the corpus uterine cancer, cancer of ovary and cervix) and comprises only 4 percent of malignanc...

INTRODUCTION Synchronous adrenalectomy has become dispensable since retrospective studies have demonstrated no survival benefit when preoperative imaging was normal. The aim of this large bi-institutional study was to determine the appearance of synchronous and metachronous metastases to the adrenal gland as detected by computed tomography and positron emission tomography or magnetic resonance ...

Synchronous multiple colorectal cancers are defined as multiple malignant colorectal tumors that occur simultaneously. All tumors are distant from each other, and none are the result of metastasis from other tumors. Here, we present a case of a 79-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital because of a 3-month history of abdominal pain associated with anemia, loss of appetite, and body weigh...

BACKGROUND Synchronous malignancies of the gall bladder and common bile duct are a rare entity. Much of our knowledge on this topic comes from Japanese literature. Most of the synchronous carcinomas described in Japanese literature are associated with the presence of an anomalous pancreatic-bile duct junction (APBDJ). CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of synchronous malignancy of the extrahe...

The progression of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to infiltrating and metastatic cancer of the breast is thought to be a consequence of clonal expansions of neoplastic cells with progressively more genetic alterations. To study this progression, we first dissected multiple foci from each of 23 breast tumors with DCIS only and 20 cases with synchronous DCIS and infiltrating cancer. We than test...
