The central odontogenic fibroma: How difficult can be making a preliminary diagnosis
2016
Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is a rare benign odontogenic tumor derived from the dental ectomesenchymal tissues. A 16-year-old Caucasian female patient was referred by her dentist for a radiolucent asymptomatic area associated with the crown of the impacted lower right third molar. A preliminary diagnosis of a follicular cyst was supposed. The lesion was surgically removed under general anesthesia together with the impacted tooth. The microscopic diagnosis of the excised tissue revealed an odontogenic fibroma. No clinical or radiographic signs of recurrence were found five years after surgical excision. Despite the various differential diagnoses of homogeneous unilocular and well delim…
MERIT Study – “Multicenter Evaluation of Patient- and Lesion-Specific Prognostic Factors for RadioImmunoTherapy with 90yttrium-Labeled Anti-CD20 in F…
2009
Abstract Abstract 4792 Background / Aim Although prognostic factors (PF) for conventional lymphoma therapy are well known and used in clinical practice and medical research, the PF for radioimmunotherapy (RIT) have not been fully defined until now. The aim of this prospective multicenter trial is to identify patient- and lesion-specific PF for a standard RIT using 90Yttrium-labeled anti-CD20-antibodies in relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) by means of clinical and image data including FDG-PET and CT. To prove the feasibility of the multicenter web-based data collection and to assess the imaging data we performed an analysis on retrospective data. Material and methods This retro…
Reduction rate by decompression as a treatment of odontogenic cysts
2017
Background: Odontogenic cysts are defined as those cysts that arise from odontogenic epithelium and occur in the tooth-bearing regions of the jaws. Cystectomy, marsupialization or decompression of odontogenic cyst are treatment approach to this pathology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the decompression as the primary treatment of the cystic lesions of the jaws and them reduction rates involving different factors. Material and Methods: 23 patients with odontogenic cysts of the jaws, previously diagnosed by anatomical histopathology (follicular cysts (7) and radicular cysts (16)) underwent decompression as an initial treatment. Clinical examination and pre and pos…
Fertility in McCune Albright syndrome female: A case study focusing on AMH as a marker of ovarian dysfunction and a literature review.
2021
Abstract Background The molecular basis of McCune Albright syndrome (MAS) is a recurrent GNAS Postzygotic gain of function sporadic mutation, resulting in a mosaic disease. Most of girls present precocious puberty, caused by the development of recurrent ovarian cysts with autonomous Hyperestrogenic stimulation. After menarche, the majority of patients with ovarian GNAS mutation have menstrual disturbances and infertility. Objectives We wanted to focus on the fertility of MAS females and propose an appropriate management, by a detailed case report and an exhaustive review of the literature on fertility and pregnancy in MAS females. Results We present the case of a 29-year-old MAS female, who…
Preliminary approach towards construction of peptide libraries as potential tools for diagnosis of malignant thyroid tumors
2006
Nowotwory złośliwe tarczycy należą do najczęstszych nowotworów złośliwych układu endokrynnego. Poprawa wyników leczenia wiąże się z postępem wczesnej diagnostyki raka. Celem niniejszych badań jest poszukiwanie wskaźników nowotworowych za pomocą bibliotek peptydowych umieszczonych na podłożu z bibuły. Materiał i metody: Analizie poddano tkanki pobrane od 6 pacjentów: 4 z rakiem brodawkowatym tarczycy, 1 z nowotworem pęcherzykowym oraz 1 pacjenta z rakiem oksyfilnym. Badania wykonywano z wykorzystaniem bibliotek peptydowych lipofilowych, porównując tkankę zdrową i chorą oraz oceniając zmianę zabarwienia w poszczególnych bibliotekach. Wyniki: Wstępne wyniki wskazują, że biblioteki peptydowe mo…
LH administration as a potential strategy for ovarian protection and female fertility preservation against highly gonadotoxic chemotherapy
2022
Els ovaris contenen una reserva de fol·licles no renovable, que produeixen un únic ovòcit fecundable a cada cicle menstrual al llarg de l'etapa reproductiva femenina (15-49 anys), però que disminueix progressivament amb l'edat. Per tant, els factors que afecten negativament la dotació de fol·licles provocaran una reducció significativa de la vida reproductiva en la dona. Les teràpies oncològiques basades en l'administració de quimioteràpia alquilant s'utilitzen habitualment per a tractar els càncers ginecològics en pacients joves, però amb freqüència acceleren l'esgotament de la reserva fol·licular i l'aparició de la menopausa. Els efectes secundaris de la quimioteràpia sobre la fertilitat,…
Safety of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Patients With Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: Real-World Use of Lenvatinib and Sorafenib in Korea
2019
Background: Thyroid cancer has become the most common cancer in Korea. Generally, thyroid cancer patients have a good prognosis; however, 15–20% of patients experience recurrence or distant metastasis or are refractory to standard treatment. We assessed the safety of sorafenib and lenvatinib in patients with advanced or metastatic radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC) consecutively treated at a tertiary center in South Korea.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all consecutive patients with DTC treated during ≥6 months with lenvatinib (February 2016–April 2018) and sorafenib (January 2014–April 2018) at Gangnam Severance Hospital. Patients were tre…
