A serious hazard to patients during orthotopic liver transplantation is hyperkalemia. Although the most frequent and hazardous hyperkalemia occurs immediately after reperfusion of the newly transplanted liver, morbid hyperkalemia could happen in the other phases during orthotopic liver transplantation. However, pre-anhepatic hyperkalemia during orthotopic liver transplantation is rare. This rep...

We report here a rare case of lateral ectopia of thyroid without orthotopic thyroid tissue in an Indian teenager, who was referred to our department for a thyroid scintigraphy. Technetium Pertechnetate (99mTcO4- ) scan showed uptake in laterally placed soft tissue structure along with functioning thyroid tissue in high anterior midline neck region in line with thyroglossal...

aim : to create an orthotopic hepatoma model with local metastasis monitored with ultrasound could be created as a platform for testing new treatments.   background : hepatoma accounts for 25% of liver tumors in children with poor overall survival. intraabdominal metastasis are present in 35% of patients at time of diagnosis.  we hypothesized that an orthotopic tumor model with local metastasis...

Ectopic thyroid tissue results from abnormal embryologic development and migration of the thyroid gland. True malignant transformation in ectopic thyroid tissue is extremely rare and is always diagnosed after surgical excision of the lesion by pathology examinations. There are well-documented cases of ectopic thyroid cancer while primary tumoral lesion occurs in the orthotopic thyroid, but only...

post cardiac surgery ophthalmic complications are uncommon, and sudden visual loss is one of the most important ophthalmic problems in these patients. we report a 54-year-old woman that suffered transient sudden bilateral visual loss seven days after orthotopic heart transplantation. in ophthalmologic examination positive findings were bilateral normal size pupils without direct and indirect pu...

Bladder cancer is a common type of genitourinary cancer, and radical cystectomy with urinary diversion is considered to be the most effective local treatment for invasive bladder cancer. In order to assess the functional results and health-related quality of life (QOL) in bladder cancer patients with an orthotopic neobladder, and to provide a reasonable basis for the evaluation of urinary diver...

Tumor models are needed to study cancer. Noninvasive imaging of tumors under native conditions in vivo is critical but challenging. Intravital microscopy (IVM) of subcutaneous tumors provides dynamic, continuous, long-term imaging at high resolution. Although popular, subcutaneous tumor models are often criticized for being ectopic and lacking orthotopic tissue microenvironments critical for pr...
