Breast cancer is a neoplastic condition with high morbidity and mortality amongst women worldwide. Recent data linking bovine leukemia virus (BLV) breast has been contested already. Our study investigated the presence of BLV genome in healthy (n = 72) cancerous paraffin-embedded samples tissues from south Brazil. DNA was found most frequently (30.5%) tissue than (13.9%) (Odds ratio 2.73; confidence interval 1.18-6.29; p 0.027). In contrast, antibodies to were very small percentage blood...

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection is widespread in cattle and associated with B cell lymphoma. In a previous study we demonstrated that bovine viral DNA was detected human breast tissues significantly cancer. Our current aimed to determine whether BLV found humans at the same geographical region were genetically related. extracted from tissue of healthy (

Abstract Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis caused by the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis fungus, which endemic in Latin America. Brazil country with highest number of cases. The affection central nervous system (CNS), potentially fatal condition, occurs ∼ 12% following forms presentation are identified: meningeal, unusual; meningoencephalitic; and pseudotumoral, latter two being more frequent. Imaging tests essential for diagnosis, but histological identification fungus required...

Background Hemorrhagic events can result in significant neurological damage, and identifying effective strategies for neuroprotection is crucial. Several studies have directed their attention to the alterations perilesional parenchymal tissue. These investigations sought modify ischemic metabolic changes by utilizing potential neuroprotective agents develop that effectively mitigate secondary neuronal damage. By gaining a deeper understanding of its mechanisms efficacy, Spirulina platensis...

Abdominal angiostrongyliasis (AA) is caused by Angiostrongylus costaricensis, which inhabits mesenteric arteries. There no drug treatment for AA, and since intestinal infarction due to thrombi one of the main complications disease, use anticoagulants may be a option. Thus, we aimed assess effect high doses enoxaparin on prevention ischaemic lesions survival mice infected with A. costaricensis. Twenty-four were L3 costaricensis divided equally into two groups: Group 1, control treated...

Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) of the central nervous system (CNS) is considered one most severe forms presentation disease. Although only 1% TB cases involve CNS, these represent around between 5 and 15% extrapulmonary forms.1 2 Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) frequent form CNS TB. The granulomas formed in cerebral tuberculoma may cause hydrocephalus other symptoms indicative a mass lesion. In absence active or TBM, be interpreted as tumors.3 4 prognosis directly related to early diagnosis proper...

Abstract Olfactory groove schwannomas (OGSs) are rare benign tumors of the anterior skull base region. Considering lack Schwann cells in optic and olfactory nerves, their origin remains enigmatic. Despite precursor cell, total resection lesion is curative, as long histopathological features tumor compatible with schwannoma. We report case a 32-year-old woman, addicted to crack, who was brought hospital presenting cognitive dysfunction after being physically assaulted, whose neuroimaging...

Background and Objectives: Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic disease caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis found in tropical subtropical regions of Latin America. This study aimed to perform retrospective analysis PCM cases from northern region Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Methods: A total 200 records 1995 2015 were analyzed, diagnosed at local reference pathology laboratory. Results: Of patients, 185 male 15 female. Patients ranged age 31 80 years, largest...

Introduction Lymphangioma is a rare congenital vascular malformation of the head and neck region isolated from systemic circulation. It has benign etiology, represents 1–3% all orbital tumors. These hamartomas often present in pediatric population with slightly female predilection. They have lymphocytic composition, may increase size episodes viral infection, causing proptosis. Discussion The management this lesion controversial, hardly curative, depends on clinical presentation. treatment...

ABSTRACT: Although ultrasound (US) is a routine diagnostic modality, it still presents limitations for the diagnosis of lesions such as those in proximal insertion suspensory ligament (PISL) because its composition, which includes muscle fibers and adipose tissue interspersed with fibers. The objective present study was to describe ultrasonographic, macroscopic histological aspects PISL thoracic limbs (TL) pelvic (PL) Crioulo horses (CH). We selected 34 specimens TL (right left) 10 PL mean...

Teratomas are the most common type of Germ Cell Tumors (GCTs). GCTs classified as extragonadal, if there is no evidence a primary tumor in neither testicles, nor ovaries. Intracranial Mature tumors with very low incidence, and clear male predominance. We present case 21 year-old female patient, history two seizures 15 days prior to admission, without any abnormalities upon physical examination. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) performed at admission evidenced an expansive, heterogeneous...

Colorectal Cancer is common and it will often present with metastases during the course of disease follow-up.Usually metastasis affects liver lungs, but other organs may also be involved.We report case a patient who had cancer in recto-sigmoid transition 2002 recurrence 14 years after surgery uterine body.The tumor resected was given adjuvant chemotherapy.It important to consider this possibility patients prior history neoplasm that presents abnormal vaginal bleeding.

Abstract Schwannomas are the fourth most common primary neoplasms affecting brain and cranial nerves. Central lesions commonly arise from sensory nerve roots, a intracranial site is vestibular branch of 8th (>85%). We present case report patient who has schwannoma extending pterygopalatine fossa to orbit, complaining about facial pain in trajectory trigeminal ophthalmic branch. represent 1 2% all schwannomas extremely rare, accounting for less than 0.5% tumors.

Melanomas originating from the dura-mater are extremely rare tumors. The diagnosis is complex, and usually only made after excluding other entities. prognosis poor, with average free-disease survival of 20 months, treatment complete surgical excision adjuvant therapy. We report case a 41-year-old asymptomatic patient, presenting subcutaneous mass in left parieto-occipital region, later diagnosed as primary dura mater melanoma. Treatment included microsurgical excision, radiotherapy...

Abstract Atypical rhabdoid teratoid tumors (ARTTs) are rare embryonic tumors, usually localized in the posterior fossa and diagnosed children under 3 years-old. The treatment includes surgical resection, radio chemotherapy, prognostic is unfavorable, with an average median survival of 1 year. We present case a 3-year-old patient, history headache vomiting, followed by absence seizures, temporal automatism, syncope accompanied sialorrhea sphincteric loss succeeded postictal period. Surgical...

Introduction: Germinomas are a rare and malignant tumor, type of Germ Cell Tumors (GCTs). They arise from embryonal rests located in the midline due to aberrant migration during early development. Suprasellar germinomas commonly present with diabetes insipidus, visual impairment, hypothalamic-pituitary failure. More than 90% will respond positively chemotherapy (ChT) radiation therapy (RT), making diagnosis mainstay.

Introduction: Lymphangioma is a rare congenital vascular malformation of the head and neck region isolated from systemic circulation. It has benign etiology, represents 1–3% all orbital tumors.

Abstract Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD), or cerebellar dysplastic gangliocytoma, is a rare type of tumor, from unknown origin. Patients can be asymptomatic for several years, but there are usually imprecise neurological signs long periods.
