Atypical Rapidly Enlarging Orbital Schwannoma.
Atypical Rapidly Enlarging Orbital Schwannoma.: Orbital schwannomas are typically slow-growing benign tumors that can cause gradual loss of vision, proptosis, and limitation of ocular motility. The authors present an atypical case of a rapidly growing orbital apex schwannoma in a patient with preexisting vision loss secondary to presumed sarcoidal optic neuritis. Contrary to the slowly… Continue reading Atypical Rapidly Enlarging Orbital Schwannoma.

“Wild type” GIST: Clinicopathological features and clinical practice
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. Mutation of KIT and PDGFRA genes is implicated in the tumorigenesis. Approximately 10% of GISTs do not harbor mutation of these genes, and they are designated as «wild type» GIST. They are classified into succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient and non-SDH-deficient groups. SDH-deficient group includes… Continue reading “Wild type” GIST: Clinicopathological features and clinical practice

Bifid Facial Nerve Trunk: Anatomic and Surgical Considerations.
Bifid Facial Nerve Trunk: Anatomic and Surgical Considerations.: The segment of the facial nerve (FN) between its emergence from the skull through the stylomastoid foramen and its bifurcation at the parotid area is referred to as the FN trunk (FNT). Injury to the facial nerve trunk is among the most undesirable outcomes following different otologic, plastic, maxillofacial, and neurosurgical procedures. These procedures frequently involve manipulation and isolation of this segment, and meticulous dissection should be practiced to avoid iatrogenic damage to the nerve.

Maxillary Sinus Augmentation.
Maxillary Sinus Augmentation.: The clinician contemplating reconstruction of the posterior maxilla with osteointegrated implants must overcome a number of anatomic challenges. Buccolingual and/or apico-occlusal atrophy of the edentulous ridge and pneumatization of the maxillary sinus often limit the volume of bone available for implant placement. Many clinicians advocate augmentation of the maxillary sinus to increase the dimension of available bone for implant placement.

Anticancer drug discovery: Structures of KDM5 histone demethylase inhibitors
When doctors hurl toxic death at cancer cells, often a few will survive and come back. A family of enzymes called KDM5 histone demethylases is emerging as important for this resilience, and drugs that inhibit KDM5 enzymes could be active in treating several types of cancer. http://ift.tt/29OsyJa

Circulating MicroRNAs as Potential Molecular Biomarkers in Pathophysiological Evolution of Pregnancy
MicroRNAs represent nonprotein coding small RNA molecules that are very stable to degradation and responsible for gene silencing in most eukaryotic cells. Increased evidence has been accumulating over the years about their potential value as biomarkers for several diseases. MicroRNAs were predicted to be involved in nearly all biological processes from development to oncogenesis. In this review, we address the importance of circulating microRNAs in different conditions associated with pregnancy starting with the implantation period to preeclampsia and we shortly describe the corre... περισσότερα »

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. Mutation of *KIT* and *PDGFRA* genes is implicated in the tumorigenesis. Approximately 10% of GISTs do not harbor mutation of these genes, and they are designated as "wild type" GIST. They are classified into succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient and non-SDH-deficient groups. SDH-deficient group includes Carney triad and Carney Stratakis syndrome. The patients are young women. Tumors occur in the antrum of the stomach, and tumor cells are epithelioid. Lymph node metastasis is frequent. T... περισσότερα »

Hypoglycaemia when Adding Sulphonylurea to Metformin: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis
Aims/hypothesis The risk of hypoglycaemia may differ among sulphonylureas (SUs), but evidence from head-to-head comparisons is sparse. Performing a network meta-analysis to use indirect evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs), we compared the relative risk of hypoglycaemia with newer generation SUs when added to metformin. Methods A systematic review identified RCTs lasting 12-52 weeks and evaluating SUs added to inadequate metformin monotherapy (≥1000 mg/day) in type 2 diabetes. Adding RCTs investigating the active comparators from the identified SU-trials, we establi... περισσότερα »
