Gastric Necrosis due to Acute Massive Gastric Dilatation

Gastric necrosis due to acute massive gastric dilatation is relatively rare. Vascular reasons, herniation, volvulus, acute gastric dilatation, anorexia, and bulimia nervosa play a role in the etiology of the disease. Early diagnosis and treatment are highly important as the associated morbidity and mortality rates are high. In this case report, we present a case of gastric necrosis due to acute gastric dilatation accompanied with the relevant literature

A Therapeutic and Diagnostic Dilemma: Granular Cell Tumor of the Breast

Six to eight percent of granular cell tumors are seen in the breast. Although mostly benign, they rarely have malignant features clinically and radiologically reminding of breast cancer. This may lead to a potential misdiagnosis of breast carcinoma and overtreatment of patients. The final diagnosis is made by immunohistochemical examination. We performed excisional biopsy on a patient who was diagnosed to have a breast mass. The histopathological examination of the mass revealed granular cell tumor

The Structural and Thermal Characterization of New Cu-Arginate Complex; Experimental and Simulated Hydrogen Adsorbsition Properties

T he copper-arginate complex was synthesized and characterized by using FTIR, TG/DTA-DrTG, UV-Vis spectroscopy and elemental analysis methods. In addition, experimental and theoretical hydrogen storage capabilities were investigated. The unit cell of complex structure included that one mole CuII as centered cation and one mole of free NaI cation and one mole of NaSO4- as coordinated to arginine ligand and two moles of arginate ligands and one mole of aqua ligand as coordinated to NaSO4-. The CuII cation had square-pyramidal coordination sphere and the Na1 metal cation had trigonal coordination scheme. The other sodium metal cation Na2 was implemented in the released position as counter ion of NaSO4-. It was found that the arginine complex, synthesized in this work have 0.533 m2/g BET surface area and 6.92E-3 wt. % hydrogen storage capacity at 77 K and 1 bar while simulated value was 3.27E-3 wt. % for the same condition

Laparoscopic management of mesenteric cyst: a case report

Mesenteric cysts are rare intra-abdominal lesions with variable clinical symptoms and signs that make pre-operative diagnosis difficult. Optimal treatment is surgical excision of the cyst with laparotomy or laparoscopy. We present a case of mesenteric cyst that was misdiagnosed as para-ovarian cyst and managed laparoscopically by gynaecologists

B-spline collocation methods for numerical solutions of the Burgers' equation

Both time- and space-splitted Burgers' equations are solved numerically. Cubic B-spline collocation method is applied to the time-splitted Burgers' equation. Quadratic B-spline collocation method is used to get numerical solution of the space-splitted Burgers' equation. The results of both schemes are compared for some test problems

A Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen: Jejunal Diverticulosis with Perforation

Jejunal diverticulosis is generally asymptomatic and is associated with high morbidity and mortality secondary to complications, especially in elderly patients. We present a case report of a 74-year-old female patient with jejunal diverticulosis and perforation due to diverticulitis

Obturator Hernia: A Rare Case of Acute Mechanical Intestinal Obstruction

Obturator hernia is a rare type of pelvic hernia which generally occurs in elderly patients with accompanying diseases. Because it is difficult to diagnose before surgery, the morbidity and mortality rates for obturator hernia are high. The most common symptom is strangulation combined with mechanical intestinal obstruction

Effect of octenidine dihydrochloride on viability of protoscoleces in hepatic and pulmonary hydatid diseases

Background: Use of effective scolicidal agents during puncture, aspiration or injection of a scolicidal agent and reaspiration (PAIR) and surgery for hydatid cysts are essential to reduce the recurrence rate. In this in vitro study, we tried to determine the scolicidal property of a new agent, octenidine dihydrochloride, and of various agents in different concentrations and exposure times
