Background: Bowen’s disease is a form of intraepidermal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) characterised by a persistent, non-elevated, red, scaly or crusted plaque with a small potentialfor invasive malignancy. Most cases of typical Bowen’s disease in the white population are found on the lower legs of the elderly women. H...

: Glomus tumors are rare lesions that can arise anywhere along the spinal axis. Only 12 cases have been reported. We report a case of patient with glomangioma thoracic spine. Following review previous is discussion glomus tumors, including clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. A single, recent arising from extradural space spine described, followed by literature tumors. Including our...

the effect of prepared ayurvedic formulation was evaluated on excision and incision wound models in rats. the wound-healing activity was assessed by the rate of period of epithelialization and skin-breaking strength. histological study of the granulation tissue was carried out to know the extent of collagen formation in the wound tissue. the ayurvedic formulation prepared was then promoted for ...

objective: to compare outcome of patients with burns covering less than 15% of total body surface area(tbsa) undergoing early excision and grafting or delayed skin grafting. method : this was a non-randomized clinical trial including 54 patients with less than 15% tbsa burn referring to ghotboddin hospital of shiraz. they were assigned to two study groups, each group including 27 patients: the ...

We performed one of the most extensive study in scientific literature (3,957 excisions, 2,358 patients) about basal cell carcinoma (BCC) focusing on the behavioral patterns,1 the risk factors associated to incomplete excisions,2 and the following preferred surgical management.2 The data about each patient and each surgery were carefully organized in a Microsoft Office Excel 2003 (Microsoft Corp...

conclusions radio-guided localization of non-palpable breast lesions is an acceptable method because of technical facilitation, accurate localization and complete excision with limited complications. so it can be recommended as an alternative method for wire-guided localization. results pathologic results were benign in 90.5% and malignant in 9.5% of patients. post-operative margin of lesion wa...

We consider parallel preconditioning schemes to accelerate the convergence of Conjugate Gradients (CG) for sparse linear system solution. We develop methods for constructing and applying preconditioners on multiprocessors using incomplete factorizations with selective inversion for improved latency-tolerance. We provide empirical results on the efficiency, scalability and quality of our precond...
