Case Report: Enlarging symmetrical masses of the palate of idiopathic etiology
We report the case of a 33 year-old woman who came to our attention with slowly enlarging exophytic masses of the palate, histologically characterized by sub-epithelial fibrous proliferation with packed collagen bundles and increased fibroblasts number. We describe the condition of idiopathic fibrous hyperplasia, its diagnosis and its surgical treatment, which in our case was carried out with the aid of a custom made thermal printed plaque used as a scaffold
Increased Fecal Calprotectin in Preterm Infants with Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Background: Necrotizing entrocolitis (NEC) remains a potentially fatal disease in premature infants despite the recent advances in neonatal care. It is a disease with a multifactorial etiology leading to the one common final pathway of necrosis and inflammmation of the neonatal intestine
Adiponectin and visfatin levels in extremely low birth weight infants; they are also at risk for insulin resistance
AIM: The aim of this study was to assess adiponectin, visfatin, HOMA-IR, glucose and triglyceride levels in term, preterm and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) babies. Each of these three groups was subdivided into two groups as small-for-gestational age (SGA), and appropriate-for-gestational age (AGA). 30 term, 30 preterm and 30 extremely low birth weight infants were included into the study
