Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis With Bilateral Thalamic Necrosis
(2009)Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis is a monophasic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system involving the white matter, and to a lesser extent, the gray matter. Bilateral thalamic lesions have ... -
Application value of 3T H-1-magnetic resonance spectroscopy in diagnosing breast tumors
(2013)Background: Assessment of breast lesions with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a means for lesion detection and diagnosis. Proton (hydrogen-1) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-1-MRS) has been proposed as a useful ... -
Cerebellum and reading
(2007)Background: Traditionally, the cerebellum has been considered to control coordinated movement. However, in recent years it has been argued that it contributes to higher cognitive functions. Objectives: This review aims to ... -
Chemopreventive activity of very low dose dietary tannic acid administration in hepatoma bearing C3H male mice
(1999)Tannins are plant polyphenols comprising a heterogeneous group of compounds. Tannic acid is a common tannin found in tea, coffee, immature fruits, etc. and it has also been used as a food additive. An increasing body of ... -
Clinical, bacteriological, cytological and pathological features of teat disorders in ewes
(2007)We describe the features of 13 cases of teat disorders in ewes, as follows: lengthy teats (one case), papilloma infection (two), staphylococcal dermatitis (one), nodules and abscesses (two), teat bites (three), stenosis ... -
Comparing normal primary endocervical adenoepithelial cells to uninfected and influenza B virus infected human cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells
(2006)Human adenocarcinoma HeLa cells surviving infection with low (10(-9) units), medium (10(-6) units), and high (10(-2) units) influenza B titers were compared to their uninfected precursors and to normal endocervical ... -
Comparison of MR-arthrography and MDCT-arthrography for detection of labral and articular cartilage hip pathology
(2011)Objective To compare the diagnostic ability of MR arthrography (MRa) and MDCT arthrography (CTa) in depicting surgically proven hip labral tears and articular cartilage degradation. Materials and methods Labral pathology ... -
Determination of human papillomavirus 16 physical status through E1/E6 and E2/E6 ratio analysis
(2014)Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 genome integration into the host chromosome is a crucial event during the life cycle of the virus and a major step towards carcinogenesis. The integration of HPV16 DNA promotes a constitutive ... -
Dosimetric and radiobiological evaluation of dose distribution perturbation due to head heterogeneities for Linac and Gamma Knife stereotactic radiotherapy
(2008)Introduction. In SRT/SRS, dedicated treatment planning systems are used for the calculation of the dose distribution. The majority of these systems utilize the standard TMR/OAR formalism for dose calculation as well as ... -
Effects of scopolamine and L-NAME on rats' performance in the object location test
(2007)The object location task is a new procedure evaluating spatial memory abilities in the rat. The aim of the present study was to characterize this behavioural paradigm by pharmacologic means. For this purpose, the effects ... -
Encapsulated papillary carcinoma of the breast: An overview
(2013)Any papillary growth of the breast presents both a diagnostic and a therapeutic challenge: For each one of them a diagnosis of whether they are malignant or benign in nature is required as well as appropriate staging and ... -
Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Removal of Recurrent and Regrowing Pituitary Adenomas: Experience on a 59-Patient Series
(2013)OBJECTIVE: The nature of the pituitary adenomas itself exposes the possibility of a recurrence of the tumor. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach for ... -
High-resolution ultrasonography and 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging in erosive and nodal hand osteoarthritis: high frequency of erosions in nodal osteoarthritis
(2013)Erosive osteoarthritis (EOA) is defined as hand osteoarthritis (OA) with interphalangeal joint erosions on plain radiographs. We sought to find ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features that could ... -
Immunohistochemical Evaluation of 95 Bone Marrow Reactive Plasmacytoses
(2009)We histologically and immunohistochemically studied 95 bone marrow (BM) reactive plasmacytoses. Ten biopsies from plasma cell myeloma (PCM) patients served as a control group. In addition, we studied 10 monoclonal gammopathy ... -
Is there a learning curve for photodynamic diagnosis of bladder cancer with hexaminolevulinate hydrochloride?
(2012)Introduction: To assess the learning curve for fluorescence cystoscopy using hexaminolevulinate hydrochloride (HAL) in patients with bladder cancer. Material and methods: Fifty patients underwent bladder instillation with ... -
Lessons learnt from the autopsies of 445 cases of sudden cardiac death in adults
(2005)Aim To determine the cause of sudden cardiac death in adults who underwent autopsy. Methods Four hundred and forty-five sudden cardiac deaths occurred within 1 h of the symptoms onset, and all other cardiac and noncardiac ... -
A method for limiting pitfalls in the production of enhancement kinetic curves in 3T dynamic magnetic resonance mammography
(2012)Purpose: The aim of the present study is to investigate means for the reduction or even elimination of enhancement kinetic curve errors due to breast motion in order to avoid pitfalls and to increase the sensitivity and ... -
Monitoring serum chondroitin sulfate levels in patients submitted to coronary artery bypass surgery
