Tenosynovial giant cell tumors (TGCTs) are rare tumors, which are primarily treated via surgery with a low likelihood of metastasis. Although wide excision is an excellent choice for local control, tumors located within or close to major joints, along with the benign nature of the disease, make such resection impractical. An increase in local recur...

Thymoquinone, one of the essential oil in the structure of cumin, is used for alternative therapy for many diseases from past to present. It was shown to have anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as positive effects on fibrosis. However, there is no study on the effect of thymoquinone on cancer and fibrosis mechanism in bronchia...

Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography is a useful technology for assessing flap perfusion in reconstructive procedures. Flap clearance of ICG can help in assessing venous congestion. To the best of our knowledge, although a few reports have evaluated its use for venous congestion, no reports have assessed the viability and applicability of this techn...

Aortic valve disease is the third most common cardiovascular disease among the elderly. Once it becomes symptomatic, the short-term prognosis is poor. These patients often have comorbid conditions such as malignancies. The main question is to identify if such patients can undergo aortic valve replacement (AVR) which is the only way to improve progn...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with CBFB-MYH11 fusion gene is almost always associated with either inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22). Only a few variants leading to formation of this chimeric gene have been reported. In this report, we describe a novel type of CBFB-MYH11 fusion variant generated by an insertion of CBFB into the MYH11 gene, whi...

Treatment with chemotherapy is important in limiting the intensity of serous epithelial ovarian cancer. However, not all patients are sensitive to platinum chemotherapy corresponding to longer progression-free survival (PFS >8 months). Koti et al.[1] revealed a set of 204 discriminating genes possessing expression levels, which could influence diff...
