Stromal tumors of the prostate are rare and only a few cases have been described in the literature, including exceptional cases of stromal tumors with unknown malignant potential (STUMP) and a fatal outcome in young patients. Morphologically distinguishing a STUMP from a stromal sarcoma of the prostate (PSS) is still a challenge. We describe the histopathological and immunohistochemical finding...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Classically, the refluxing distal ureteral stump has been removed during the nephrectomy by the means of an incision on the flank and lower abdominal wall. There are little data in the literature about the natural history of these stumps. In the current work the authors evaluated possible complications affecting the ureteral stump after total or partial nephrectomy for vesico...

1. A rhythmic pattern of motor activity was recorded in the stump of an amputated leg during free walking in cockroaches. 2. During relatively rapid walking, extensor (depressor) and flexor (elevator) muscles in the intact coxa of the amputated leg showed one burst of activity during each cycle of bursting in an adjacent, intact leg. However, during slower walking these muscles could show two o...

AIM To evaluate similarities and differences between gastric stump cancer and conventional carcinoma in the non-operated stomach. METHODS 26 stump carcinomas were compared with 24 conventional stomach cancers. Stage, histological type, and demographics were comparable in the two groups. Expression of p53 and p21-Waf1/Cip1 was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. Helicobacter pylori infe...

INTRODUCTION Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is treated with a great variety of procedures and none is fully satisfactory. The aim of the study was to introduce and evaluate the effectives of laparoscopic trans teres vault suspension (LTTVS) technique as a new method for POP treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the years 2013-2014, eight symptomatic women with grades II-IV POP underwent LTTVS proce...

BACKGROUND Closure of appendicular stump has been performed in different ways; however, the use of the metal endoclip in complicated grades of acute appendicitis, has not been evaluated yet in a prospective way. OBJECTIVE To establish the effectiveness of appendiceal stump closure by metal endoclip for complicated appendicitis. METHOD From January 2009 to January 2011 were evaluated 131 con...

Much about stump sprout dynamics of upland hardwood trees species has been obtained in clearcuts. Information on the response of stump sprouts to alternative silvicultural treatments, including treatments that manipulate stand density and stand structure is lacking. In this study we examined the influence of harvest season and levels of basal area reduction on the probability of sprouting and s...

Economic and environmental logging is important for sustainable wood production in the Caspian forests, north of Iran. Predetermination of the skid trail network and directional felling is a usual recommended method to reduce logging impact. The aim of this study was evaluation of directional felling and finding factors effective on felling error. Totally 135 trees were selected randomly for di...

We present a case of anterior cruciate ligament stump entrapment in a 24-year-old gentleman who traumatically injured his knee. The anterior stump became entrapped in the intercondylar notch and after a process of inflammation and fibrosis, produced a mass similar to the more familiar cyclops lesion that may complicate anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
