splenic hamartoma is an unusual accidental finding with non-neoplastic feature that may be incidentally diagnosed because of its compression effect on surrounding organs. the predominant pathological feature leading diagnosis is circumscribed, un-encapsulated bulging nodules with focal fibrosis or cyst. the histopathological feature of splenic hamartoma is the positivity for cd8, and occasional...

Treatment of splenic cysts (SC) in children is variable and controversial. Depending on the size location these formations spleen, surgical correction possible open or laparoscopic surgery, conservative (non-invasive) management. The result SC treatment should be complete elimination cyst cavity. Purpose - to evaluate results management CS according remote monitoring changes. Materials methods....

abstract distal pancreatectomy has been a standard technique for pancreatic body and tail lesions for years ago. recently, it is being performed laparoscopically in a perfect manner. there are two common methods for this procedure. one is distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy and the other is distal pancreatectomy with spleen preservation. in patients with splenic vessels involvement, it is no...

Toxoplasma gondii is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, a worldwide zoonosis for which an effective vaccine is needed. Vaccination with pulsed dendritic cells is very efficient but their use in a vaccination protocol is unconceivable. Nevertheless, unravelling the induced effector mechanisms is crucial to design new vaccine strategies. We vaccinated CBA/J mice with parasite extract-pulsed de...

OBJECTIVE Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a globally prevalent zoonotic disease. METHODS Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and follow-up data of patients between May 2009 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed by screening data from a hospital automation system. RESULTS A total of 238 (females, n=139 and males, n=99) patients with a mean age of 40.6±20.58 years were included. Less than half ...

The hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is an endemic parasitic disease affecting several Mediterranean countries. Echinococcal cysts are mostly located in the liver and the lung, but the disease can be detected anywhere in the body. In this study, we present uncommon extrahepatic localizations of primary hydatid disease. Patients who were operated on for hydatid disease or cystic...

As technology advances, the techniques of laparoscopic surgery are being refined and their application is expanding to include many disease processes and organs. The new-generation laparoscopic instruments are becoming smaller (less than 5 mm). Expected advantages include improvements in cosmesis and patient satisfaction, and decreased postoperative analgesic requirements. Non-neoplastic cysts ...

odontogenic keratocysts (okcs) are one of the most frequent features of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (nbs). it is linked with mutation in the ptch gene. partial expression of the gene may result in occurrence of only multiple recurring okc. our patient presented with nine cysts with multiple recurrences over a period of 11 years without any other manifestation of the syndrome.

BACKGROUND Dialyzable leukocyte extracts (DLEs) contain molecules smaller than 10 kDa with biological activity in receptor organisms. Primarily, they participate in the regulation of the Th1 immune response, which is essential for the control of several intracellular infections, such as toxoplasmosis. This disease is associated with congenital infection, encephalitis or systemic infections in i...

INTRODUCTION Pancreatic pseudocysts of type II are postnecrotic cysts that appear during an acute-on-chronic pancreatitis. In case that surgical treatment is necessary, as a rule it is performed using internal drainage operations. Pancreatic resections are rarely indicated. CASE OUTLINE The authors present a 34 year-old man with a long-lasting history of moderate alcohol consumption in whom a...
