Ca 19-9 Could Predict both Advanced Disease and Nodal Involvement in Primary Mucinous Endometrial Cancers

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.367

Synopsis:

Since mucinous endometrial carcinoma is a rare disease, the parameters related to the extent of the disease should be clarified. Ca-19.9 is an important marker for mucinous pathologies and should also be evaluated for mucinous endometrial cancers.

ABSTRACT

Objective: Mucinous endometrial carcinoma is a rare disease. A study to evaluate and find predictive factors of mucinous endometrial carcinoma for advanced disease and nodal involvement was performed.

Diagnostic Value of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Allergy Patients

Issue:

Vol 69, Issue 4: 2021

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.242

Pages:

227-9

Synopsis:

This study was conducted to investigate the association between neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the progression of the disease in the cases of acute allergic reactions. The significantly high NLR in acute allergic reaction cases in this study suggests that it may be a useful diagnostic parameter in allergic reactions.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the clinical characteristics of the acute allergic reaction patients diagnosed in an emergency clinic.

Clinicopathological Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes of Pulmonary Carcinosarcoma in Eight Patients

Issue:

Vol 65, Issue 3: 2016

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.042

Pages:

533-7

Synopsis:

The present study included eight cases with pulmonary carcinosarcoma. Pathological diagnosis of PC was made by surgical resection in all patients. Operations were lobectomy (n = 6), bilobectomy inferior (n = 1) and pneumonectomy (n = 1). The median survival time was 21.5 months (range: 1-75 months).

ABSTRACT

Background: Pulmonary carcinosarcoma (PC) is a rare malignant tumour of the lung. Due to its rarity, few studies have been reported and its clinicopathological characteristics and treatment outcomes remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinical, radiological and pathological findings and treatment outcomes of patients with PC.

Treating Children with Spinal Tuberculosis via Debridement with Allograft

Issue:

Vol 66, Issue 2: 2017

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.356

Pages:

357–60

Synopsis:

The mothers’ iliac bone was obtained to reconstruct the graft of the children’s anterior spinal column, thereby inducing new bone formation without affecting the growth and development of the children. The efficacy of debridement was definite.

ABSTRACT

Objective: This work aims to investigate the efficacy of debridement for paediatric thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis (TB) by using the anterior approach and the allogeneic bone graft.

Issue:

Vol 69, Issue 4: 2021

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.457

Pages:

230-4

Synopsis:

Atropa belladonna intoxication may seriously progress in the act of late diagnosis and treatment in childhood. It is crucial to realize that in Atropa belladonna poisoning, patients should be evaluated carefully in terms of intensive care needs. Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale < 12 should be observed in the intensive care unit.

ABSTRACT

Objective: A very small amount of Atropa belladonna (AB) can lead to serious symptoms of poisoning and can cause death in children. In this study, demographic, clinic and laboratory results of AB poisoning were evaluated.
