Cardiac tumors are rare in neonates, most are rhabdomyomas. Because of large size, they may cause homodynamic instability and even death in neonatal period. In 50% cases, rhabdomyoma is associated with tuberous sclerosis [1]. About 100 cases have been reported in literature [1, 3]. We are reporting a case of term neonate, with antenatally diagnosed cardiac masses, who expired at 36 h of life an...

Transplacental inorganic arsenic carcinogenicity, together with postnatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol or tamoxifen, was studied. Pregnant CD1 mice received 85 ppm arsenic in the drinking water from gestation days 8 to 18 and were allowed to give birth. Groups (n = 35) of female offspring were injected s.c. on postpartum days 1 through 5 with diethylstilbestrol (2 microg/pup/d) or tamoxifen (...

odontogenic tumors contain a heterogeneous collection of lesions that are categorized from hamartomas to benign and malignant neoplasms of inconstant aggressiveness. odontogenic tumors are usually extraordinary with assessed frequency of short of 0.5 cases/100,000 population for every year. the lesions such as odontogenic tumors are inferred from the components of the tooth-structuring contrapt...

conclusions anesthetic management for ire of soft tissue deviates from standard anesthetic medical therapy in regards to depth of neuromuscular blockade and analgesic management during ire energy delivery. however, minor modifications in anesthesia management allow for a safe and efficient patient procedure. results during ire delivery, a deeper neuromuscular blockade is required to ensure that...

background: hypoglycemia is one of the most common neonatal disorders, associated with severe complications. there has been a great deal of controversy regarding the definition and screening of hypoglycemia. therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine a cut-off value for blood glucose level in glucometer readings. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted on 238 newborns at risk of ...

abstract carcinoid tumors are well differentiated neuroendocrine tumors with secretory components. these tumors are uncommon but the most common primary tumors of the distal small intestine. we present a rare terminal ileum carcinoid tumor presenting with a small bowel obstruction. a 65 years old man presented with intermittent, gen-eralized, dull and colicky abdominal pain accompanied with int...

Doxorubicin is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent used for treating a wide spectrum of tumors, but its usage is limited because of its dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, especially in pediatric patients. Accumulating evidence indicates that caspase-dependent apoptosis contributes to the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin. However, less attention has been paid to the effects of age on doxorubicin-...

Alteration of DNA demethylation in five CpG sites (-547, -533, -475, -464, and -454) immediately upstream from the estrogen response element of lactoferrin promoter was determined in the uteri of immature (17-day-old) and mature (21- and 30-day-old) mice treated neonatally with DES. Only the CpG/-464 was found to be abnormally demethylated by diethylstilbestrol (DES) treatment in the mature ute...

background: regarding the significance of abdominal masses in children, we aimed to identify the pathology of masses according to the age and sex groups. materials and methods: we retrospectively reviewed pathological reports of 461 patients with abdominal mass that underwent resection or biopsy during the study period (25 years). results: one hundred and eighty six cases (40%) were non-neoplas...

abstract background: a newborn is highly fragile whose death can be caused by embryonic, intra partum, and postpartum factors. identifying the causes of death is the first step to be taken in order to decrease the death rate. the present study was aimed at finding out how neonatal factors and therapeutic actions affect death of newborn babies. materials and methods: this is a case-control study...
