Introduction. Amyloidosis is a disease characterized by extracellular deposition of insoluble fibrils composed an abnormal protein, amyloid. This protein builds up in various tissues and organs interferes with their function leading to atrophy sclerosis. usually systemic disease. However, there are case reports localized amyloidosis. Localized laryngeal amyloidosis rare condition accounting for...

In this study, polyamide-aluminum foil-polypropylene (PA-Al-PP) composite films with different orientation status of the PP layer were prepared, and their morphology, tensile, peeling and heat seal behavior were studied. The comparative study of tensile and fracture behaviors of single-layer film of PA, Al and PP, as well as the composite films of PA-Al, PP-Al and PA-Al-PP revealed that in PA-A...

A 46-year-old female was referred to our hospital with a complaint of left flank pain. Ultrasongraphy and computed tomography demonstrated a left hydronephroureter due to stenosis with a ureteral mass in the left lower ureter. Retrograde pyelography revealed severe stricture of left lower ureter and brushing cytology showed papanicolaou class III. Ureteral tumor was suspected and left nephroure...

Localized amyloidosis of the urinary bladder is a rare condition. Five patients, 1 with localized secondary amyloidosis, are described. The symptoms, macroscopic hematuria and tumor-like appearance in cystoscopy, may mimic bladder cancer. Diagnosis is based on histopathological examinations with Congo red staining. In most instances, the treatment of choice is transurethral resection and electr...

Primary amyloidosis (PA) is a protein deposition disorder that presents with localized or multisystemic disease. The incidence is low in the general public, ranging from three to eight cases per million, and with nonspecific presenting symptoms typically occurring later in life. Due to late presentation, substantial and irreversible damage has usually already occurred by the time of the diagnos...
