to define efficacy of pre-operative chemotherapy in down staging of advanced non-round cell soft tissue sarcomas. from sep 2002 to dec 2005, 70 patients were treated by ifosfamid, mesna, cisplatin, adriamycin, mitomycin and subsequent surgery. postoperatively, patients received radiotherapy in cases of microscopically incomplete resection or local recurrence. the median age of the patients was ...

introduction: the effect of severe soft tissue injury on the severity of hemorrhagic shock is still unknown. therefore, the present study was aimed to determine hemodynamic and metabolic changes in traumatic/hemorrhagic shock in an animal model. methods: forty male rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups including sham, hemorrhagic shock, soft tissue injury, and hemorrhagic shock + soft ...

pachydermodactyly is a rare and benign disease that may be idiopathic, genetic, acquired as a response to repetitive trauma, or associated with several other acquired conditions often pushing the health caregiver to do a bunch of costly lab tests and diagnostic workups to rule out other entities. all health care givers must be aware about this disease for reassure the patients and cut unnecessa...

background: infections include soft tissue infections are notable reason for hospital admission among idus, owing to unsterile injection techniques and equipment, contamination of drugs with organisms, and poor hygiene. in present case report a patient with profound limb infection is introduced. case: a 32 years old man was transferred to the emergency department. he was idu with iranian for 3 ...

Cysticercosis is a systemic parasitic disease caused by the larval form of cestode T. solium. It has a worldwide distribution and is potentially harmful with variable clinical manifestations. The patient most commonly presents with subcutaneous and muscle involvement in the form of nodular lesions. The other most commonly involved sites include eye, brain, bladder wall, and heart. Cysticercosis...

Cysticercosis, a parasitic disease caused by larval form of Taenia solium, is a major health concern in the developing world. The encysted larval stage can affect any part of the body, but are most frequently detected in brain, eye, skeletal muscle and subcutaneous tissue. Most muscular cysticercosis are almost always associated with central nervous system involvement or with multiple intramusc...

statement of the problem: most of the soft tissue calcifications within the head and neck region might not be accompanied by clinical symptoms but may indicate some pathological conditions. purpose: the aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of soft tissue calcifications in cone beam computed tomography (cbct) images of mandibular region. materials and method: in this cross sectio...

Cysticercosis is a systemic helminthic infection endemic in India, caused by larva of cestode Taenia solium. It has variety of clinical features depending upon the site involved, most common sites being brain, subcutaneous tissue and skeletal muscles. It can be diagnosed by variety of diagnostic modalities like radiology, cytology and histopathology. Fine needle aspiration cytology is the prefe...

Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by larval form of Taenia solium. Humans become the intermediate hosts for this parasite when the eggs are consumed through contaminated food and water. It is endemic in India. Approximately 50 million people worldwide are infected with the Taeniasis/Cysticercosis complex and 50,000 succumb to death annually. The commonest site of cysticercosis is ce...

In human and porcine cysticercosis caused by the tapeworm Taenia solium, the larval stage (cysts) can infest several tissues including the central nervous system (CNS) and the skeletal muscles (SM). The cyst's proteomics changes associated with the tissue localization in the host tissues have been poorly studied. Quantitative multiplexed proteomics has the power to evaluate global proteome chan...
