BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional MR imaging findings are considered to be inadequate for reliably distinguishing radiation necrosis from tumor recurrence in patients with glioma. Despite this belief, we hypothesized that certain conventional MR imaging findings, alone or in combination, though not definitive, may favor one or another of these diagnoses in proton beam-treated patients with ne...

introduction the glandular odontogenic cyst (goc) is a rare, locally aggressive and potentially recurrent cyst of jaws which lead in diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. since 1992, 111 cases of goc have been reported, with 0.2% incidence among odontogenic cysts. conclusions glandular odontogenic cyst is an uncommon and relatively aggressive cyst with a high recurrence rate. clinical and radi...

The mammalian brain contains a population of neural stem cells (NSC) that can both self-renew and generate progeny along the three lineage pathways of the central nervous system (CNS), but the in vivo identification and localization of NSC in the postnatal CNS has proved elusive. Recently, separate studies have implicated ciliated ependymal (CE) cells, and special subependymal zone (SEZ) astroc...

background: the aim of this study was to assess the performance of antigen b (agb) isolated from different echinococcus granulosus intermediate hosts and from different cyst locations for immu­nodiagnosis of human cystic echinococcosis (ce). methods: hydatid cyst fluids were collected from lung and liver cysts of sheep, liver cysts of goats, lung cysts of camels and cattle, and liver cysts of h...

objective(s):there are supportive evidences about the possible role of latent toxoplasma. gondii infections on the behavior and neurologic functions, such as increased dopamine levels in the brain. the aim of this study was to examine anti-toxoplasma activity of aripiprazole that is an atypical anti-psychotic drug in mice. materials and methods: mice were randomly divided into four groups, incl...

Introduction: Epidermoid cysts are rare, slow‑growing, benign, developmental cysts, which are derived from abnormally situated ectodermal tissue. Epidermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth represent
