Background: Ovarian masses represent a range of pathology from benign cyst to highly aggressive malignant tumors. It has been estimated that gynecologic malignancy account for approximately 2% of all types of cancer in children, 60-70% of these lesions arise in the ovary.  Methods: All ovarian masses which were resected or biopsied in Mofid Children's Hospital from 2002 to 2012 were reviewe...

PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between the vascular diameter and the extent and histologic characteristics of atherosclerosis in the thoracic and abdominal aortas of patients who died of atherosclerotic disease. METHOD We measured the vascular diameter and evaluated the percentage atrophy of the medial layer of the thoracic and abdominal aortas of 19 patients who died due to atherosc...

Malignancy is one of the most frequent cause of death in children -in U.S. it is the second common cause (second to Tranma). Between childhood malignancy leukemia is by far the mO'st frequent one and C.N.S. tumors take the second place -abdominal tumor re­main the third common cause of children's malignancy -Retroperitoneal space with organs like, kidney, adrenal gland, sympatheti nervous syste...

BACKGROUND The incidence of serious complications after augmentation mammaplasty with injection of polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) was high. OBJECTIVE To design a new method for healing of the cavities and cysts after augmentation mammaplasty. METHODS 102 patients in whom PAAG exceeded the breast and spread to the thoracic-abdominal walls were enrolled and divided into two groups. RESULTS ...

Our aim was to evaluate the different clinical value of (111)In-pentetreotide hybrid SPET/CT versus SPET alone in detecting carcinoid tumours located in the thoracic and abdominal region. Twenty-four patients with carcinoid tumours histologically proven (13 of abdominal origin, 11 of thoracic origin) underwent (111)In-pentetreotide SPET/CT with hybrid system (Millennium VG with Hawkeye, G.E.M...

  Background: Electrical injury is daily compromise of our life and upper and lower extremities   are common sites of injury .   Case Presentation: A 23 years old man who had suffered high voltage electrical injury referred   to our center. He had severe left upper extremity burn and suffered from head and thoracic   injuries due to falling down from high altitude.   Treatment: Fasciotomy of th...

Regional heterogeneity exists in reactivity of different vascular beds to vasoactive substances. Experiments were designed to determine if there are differences between thoracic and abdominal aorta response to acetylcholine-induced relaxation. Ten male Sprague-Dawley rats with a weighing between 200g-250g were used. The aorta was isolated and 3mm aortic rings were cut and suspended in organ bat...

1. The physiological and morphological properties of the thoracic flexor neuromuscular systems are described for the hermit crab Pagurus pollicaris. There are two pairs of flexor muscles in thoracic segments 3 to 5: the dorsal flexors and the ventral flexors. 2. The dorsal flexors are composed of fast fibres and are asymmetrical. On the left side the muscle branches laterally so that it has two...

Most common tumors of the spleen are hematologic and lymphoid malignancies. Non-lymphoid and non-hematologic tumors of the spleen are very rare, the most common of which are vascular tumors. This group of tumors in the spleen is composed of heterogeneous tumors such as hemangioma, angioendothelioma (AE), littoral cell angioma, and angiosarcoma. There are several histologic forms of AE such as e...
