core decompression (cd) of the femoral head is one of the effective treatments of avascular necrosis (avn), especially in the early stages of the disease. to investigate further the value of cd in treating the avn, this study was performed on patients with symptomatic avn with different etiologies who were treated with cd. this study was carried out on 25 patients (with the total number of 37 f...

porcine necrotic ear syndrome (pnes) in pigs has been reported as an increasing health problem in many countries with intensive pig farming. the etiology of this disease is complex and the presumed triggering factors can be divided into infectious and non-infectious agents. the present report describes a case of porcine circovirus type 2 (pcv2), infection associated with lesions of pnes at the ...

idiopathic or spontaneous segmental infarction of omentum is a rare disease producing acute abdominal emergency. this rare entity is in a small group of abdominal emergencies with circulatory compromise. infarction could be caused by omental torsion which could be due to adhesion of a previouse surgery or it could be spontaneous. less than 150 cases of idiopathic segmental infarction of omentum...

endodontic intervention in necrotic immature permanent teeth is usually a clinical challenge. with appropriate case selection, regenerative treatment can be effective, providing a desirable outcome. however, there is still no consensus on the optimal disinfection protocol or the method to achieve predictable clinical outcome. this article presents two cases of regenerative treatment in necrotic...

background: pregnancy associated osteoporosis (pao) can lead to serious difficulties such as fragility fractures, elongated back pain and height loss in affected women. soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa b ligand (srankl) to osteoprotegerin (opg) ratio is chosen as a bone metabolism equation in many bone diseases characterized by bone resorption, such as post-menopausal osteopor...

Background: Hepatitis activity index (HAI) and fibrosing stage are two important findings during the evaluation of liver samples in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The aim of this study was to determine the HAI and fibrosing stage in patients with anti-HBe positive chronic hepatitis B. Methods: Liver biopsy slides of 72 patients were evaluated at the Department of Pathology in two teaching ...

background: chemical toxins are among the leading causes of liver disorders, inflammation and necrosis in hepatocytes. the aim of this study was to evaluate of protective effect of hydroalcoholic extract from rhizome of zingiber officinale l. (hez) on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic injury in male rat. material and methods: in this experimental studymale wistar rats (n=35, body weight 230-...

background: distinction between radiation necrosis and recurrence of intraparenchymal tumors is necessary to select the appropriate treatment, but it is often difficult based on imaging features alone. we developed an algorithm for analyzing magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) findings and studied its accuracy in differentiation between radiation necrosis and tumor recurrence. m e t hod s :  ...
