Abstract The vestibular, cochlear and facial nerves have a common course in the internal auditory canal (IAC). In this study we investigated average number of nerve fibres, cross‐sectional areas apparent connections between facial, vestibular bundles within IAC, using light scanning electron microscopy. anatomical localization IAC was not straightforward. general showed that rotated anticlockwise right ear from inner end towards brainstem vice versa for left ear. fibres forming cochlear,...

Since the first introduction of tumour markers, their usefulness for diagnosis has been a challenging question. The aim present prospective study was to investigate, in colorectal cancer patients, relationship between preoperative marker concentrations and various clinical variables.The prospectively enrolled 131 consecutive patients with confirmed carcinoma age- sex-matched control subjects no malignancy. relationships markers carcinoembryonic antigen (cea) carbohydrate (ca) 19-9 disease...

Tumor markers have shown little benefit as a method for screening. However, they can be used clinically the monitoring of tumor recurrence and prognostic factors because higher levels been observed in advanced disease. This study aimed to investigate relationship between preoperative marker different clinical aspects gastric cancer.One hundred six consecutive patients with confirmed diagnosis cancer 106 subjects (age sex matched) no malignancy control group were included prospectively this 3...

To evaluate association between duodenogastric reflux and early gastric mucosal changes before after the cholecystectomy procedure.Patients were evaluated with preoperative postoperative endoscopy endoscopic biopsy.

The primary concern with this presentation to distinguish it from acute appendicitis promptly. Thus, we aimed evaluate the role neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) leverage differential diagnosis FMF attack histologically proven appendicitis. Methods: Twenty-three patients confirmed 88 were included in study. NLR, C-reactive protein other hematologic...

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the "gold standard" for benign gallbladder diseases due to its advantages. In presence of inflammation or fibrosis, risk bleeding and bile duct injury is increased during dissection. partial (LPC) a feasible safe method prevent injuries decrease conversion (to open cholecystectomy) rates in difficult cholecystectomies where anatomical structures could not be demonstrated clearly.

To evaluate tumor invasion (T staging) and lymph node metastasis (N of colorectal cancer preoperatively by using multi-detector computerized tomography (MDCT) to compare with the histopathological findings.MDCT scan was performed for 73 patients pathological proven carcinoma. One radiologist prospectively evaluated depth regional involvement staging). The MDCT assessment then compared findings accuracy, sensitivity specificity.In this study, best accuracy results had been acquired T1 T2...

Abstract The perireticular nucleus consists of scattered neurons that are located in the internal capsule. presence rat, ferret, cat and human has been described previously. Evidence suggests various species decrease number with increasing gestation, but humans this finding not supported by quantitative data. This study aimed to investigate (1) morphology fetal neurons, (2) average within anterior posterior crus capsule per unit area, (3) magnitude stage neuronal loss subsequent maturation....

There are still a lot of controversies in the treatment cholecysto-choledocholithiasis. When cholelithiasis is present with concomitant choledochus stone, both clearance and cholecystectomy adviced by recent guidelines. But sequence whether it should or shouldn’t be gap between two procedures debate. We collected data 10 patients that we performed same session Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (SSEC) 2012-2013. tried to evaluate feasibility...
