Case Report: A case study of abdominal aortic aneurysm in a bladder cancer patient

Abstract: Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a local dilation of the abdominal aorta that increases the risk of rupture up to 50% of normal diameter. AAA is the leading cause of death and is the 13th leading cause of death in the United States. Aging, male gender and smoking are the most important causes of AAA. At present, there is no drug treatment to prevent the development of AAA and mortality after rupture remains high. Case Report: The patient was a 74-year-old man with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, lumbar disc, lower extremity paralysis, chronic heart disease and bladder cancer. He underwent 2 operations due to cancer with abdominal pain and a history of fainting in the previous hour at home. Is. Conclusion: In elderly patients with abdominal pain with or without underlying disease, according to the symptoms and clinical examinations, the patient can be examined for abdominal aortic aneurysm and thus there will be more time to treat the patient

Evaluation of Serum Vaspin and Chemerin Levels in Type 2 Diabetic and Treated with Anti Diabetic Drugs Metformin and Acarbose in Rats

Background & Objective: The serum levels of adipose tissue hormons, Vaspin and Chemerin, alter in some disorder conditions such as diabetes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two anti-diabetic drugs (Metformin and Acarbose) and their combination on serum concentration of Vaspin and Chemerin in type 2 diabetic rats. Materials & Methods: 30 male, wistar rats are randomly divided into 5 groups, while 4 groups are suffered from type 2 diabetes, and 3 groups of these diabetics are cured using metformin, acarbose, and combination of both, respectively, during 6 weeks. Body weight, fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin, lipid profile, and serum’s vaspin and chemerin are being examined. Statistic data are analyzed using SPSS software. Results report by mean ± standard deviation, and statistic difference considers significant by P˂0.05. Results: Findings of this study show a significant decrease for vaspin (P=0.001) and a significant increase for chemerin levels (P=0.004) in diabetic control group compared with normal control group. Treatment of all groups show a significant increase in serum levels of vaspin (P=0.001) while treatment by metformin results in a significant decrease in chemerin level in this group (P=0.036). In this study, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and lipid profile in treated group with both of drugs show decrease that is more significant. Conclusion: Probably metformin and acarbose through increase of serum level of vaspin leads to reduction of insulin resistance

A case study of Kimura due to grade 1 superficial burn: A rare case report

Kimura (KD) is a rare and chronic inflammatory disease that causes subcutaneous swelling and lymphadenopathy for unknown reasons and usually shows masses such as painless subcutaneous tumors in the head and neck. The disease is diagnosed based on the presence of a characteristic subcutaneous mass, elevated peripheral blood eosinophilia, IgA E levels, and biopsy, which indicates abnormal proliferation of lymph follicles and vascular endothelium with eosinophilic infiltration. Case Report: The patient is a 35-year-old woman who suffered from first degree localized burns in a large area of ​​the body with warm water 2 months before the diagnosis and then the symptoms of Kimura disease appeared in order and after performing several tests and sampling of the disease Proved. Conclusion: It seems that in our patient, a large superficial burn acted as a skin shock and caused the symptoms of Kimura disease, so that the patient showed all the symptoms of this disease within 2 months, including skin symptoms (Dryness, burning, thickening, severe itching and excessive wrinkles), skin rashes on the back of the neck and then swelling in the nose and back of the eyes, and finally an almond-sized mass on the right side of the back Is the neck. The patient has heartburn, loss of appetite and weight loss. His illness has also responded to steroid treatment

Clinical evaluation of the effect of a herbal compound made for treatment of discolorations caused by dental fluorosis

  Background and Aims: The purpose of this study was research on a new herbal compound (Seidlitzia Rosmarinus) made by Traditional Medicine Research Group, University of shahed to find a safer alternative to HCL-Pumice compound technique.   Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial seventy two anterior teeth from 9 patients were divided in to three groups according to fluorosis severity: mild (34 teeth), moderate (14 teeth), and sever (24 teeth). In each patient, half of the teeth were treated with “Shahed” compound and other half treated with HCL-Pumice compound. Before and after treatment, photographs were taken in both groups. HCL-Pumice treatment compound was applied for 30 seconds periods and continued for 10 minutes if necessary. In case of herbal Shahed compound the time was determined by clinical symptoms or when labial contour was dismissed, If the result was not esthetistically acceptabale for the patient, HCL-Pumice compound was applied on teeth. NaF was applied after mouth washing. The photographs of the teeth before and after treatment were reviewed by two experienced observer unaware of the treatment modality. The results were analyzed using willcoxon’s, kruskal-wallis and scheffe test.   Results: There was over 81.3% acceptance between two observers and no significant differences in intraobservers evaluation (P>0.05). Improvement in beauty indexes were observed in all degrees of dental fluorosis by 18% with HCL-Pumice compound application, but “Shahed” herbal compound induced significant reduction in the amount of white spots in mild fluorosis and stain intensity of moderate fluorosis (P<0.05) , while the reduction in the severity of discoloration in group 2, these two techniques were statistically equivalent but in the remainder, HCL-Pumice compound was more significantly effective (P<0.05) .   Conclusion: HCL-Pumice compound reduces the severity of the discoloration of the teeth. Shahed herbal compound cannot reduces the discoloration like as HCL-Pumice compound
