Abstract There were many studies that attempt to measure the effect of growth factors of platelets through platelet-rich plasma (PRP) techniques on repairing of different human tissues and their efficiency either by platelets account or measuring the concentrations of growth factors secreted from platelets at various experimental conditions, to get the optimal parameters for platelets functions in healing processes. There were little trails dealing with laser and PRP for accelerating...

Abstract Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a common inherited retinal disease for which effective treatment is not yet known. This review sought to analyze the available medical literature covering the efficacy of different forms of laser treatment for RP in laboratory and clinical trials. The PubMed database was searched using the following phrases: “laser photocoagulation”, “subthreshold laser”, “nanolaser”, “micropulse laser”, “retinitis pigmentosa”, “rod–cone dystrophy”, and “retinal...

Abstract The purpose of this study is to compare two dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) techniques in epiphora treatment. This study is a prospective randomized trial. Twenty-nine patients presenting persistent epiphora due to primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) were included in the study. Two groups each consisting of 15 eyes were formed. Mechanical transnasal endoscopic DCR (MTE-DCR) was applied to the first group, while transcanalicular dacryocystorhinostomy with...

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) and ozone applications on patients’ quality of life after gingivectomy and gingivoplasty. In this study, 36 patients with chronic inflammatory gingival enlargement underwent gingivectomy and gingivoplasty. The groups were randomly divided into control (n = 12), PBM (n = 12) and ozone (n = 12) groups. GaAlAs diode laser 810 nm wavelength at a non-contact and continuous mode with a power...

We urgently need effective drugs for coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), but what is the quickest way to find them? One approach that sometimes seems akin to a "Hail Mary" pass in American football is to hope that drugs that have worked against a different virus (such as hepatitis C or Ebola) will…

Background. The association of miR-28-5p with colon cancer remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to determine the clinical significance and prognostic value of miR-28-5p in colon cancer. Methods. We retrospectively analyzed the data of miR-28-5p in colon adenocarcinoma data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and the data was divided into cancer group and normal group, respectively. Forty colon cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected and tested...

I first glimpsed a plague doctor years ago, in a framed etching on the wall of a Venetian gift shop. The image was macabre: a sinister, masked figure draped in a dark robe. The head was covered with a broad-brimmed hat with a flat crown. The most striking feature was the mask, with its goggled eyes…

First, we appreciate the authors interest in our research. We completely agree that radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has a higher level of evidence than stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Because of the difference in evidence level, RFA or surgery is considered the standard treatment for liver malignancies, whereas radiotherapy is indicated for patients who are not candidates to these treatments [1–3]. Most studies included in our meta-analysis [4] were conducted by radiation oncologists who treated...

We have read with great interest the recent article by Singh et al, recently reported in this journal [1]. The authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of outcomes for 3237 patients with spinal metastases treated with sterotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), either single-fraction (SF) or multiple fraction (MF) or conventional radiotherapy (RT) and we commend the authors for their effort.

Over the last decade, increasing numbers of oesophageal cancer patients have been treated with radiotherapy, either in the neo-adjuvant setting followed by surgery or as definitive treatment. Due to neo-adjuvant CRT, cure rates have improved [1,2]. As a consequence, the number of oesophageal cancer survivors at risk of developing late toxicity is has risen correspondingly.

We read with great interest the Letter to the Editor by Dr. Isabel Bravo, which raises valid questions regarding our selection criteria and potential methodological issues that potentially could have compromised the results of our findings. We certainly agree that systematic reviews and meta-analyses must make all attempts to mitigate potential sources of bias to provide reliable information for practitioners to make informed clinical decisions.

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), was first developed in the 1950s [1] and has since evolved substantially. There are now several manufacturers that offer commercial solutions for delivering SRS and such treatments may be delivered by a Gamma Knife (GK) unit, a CyberKnife (CK) or a gantry-based linear accelerator (linac) system with stereotactic capabilities.

Abstract Medulloblastoma with myogenic differentiation is not a distinct entity but a pattern of differentiation seen in <1% of medulloblastomas. Although squash cytology of medulloblastoma is well described, there are no reports available describing squash cytomorphology of this unusual variant of medulloblastoma. Intraoperative squash smears on a 2‐year‐old girl with a midline posterior fossa space occupying lesion revealed features of an embryonal tumor composed of small, round, and blue cells....

Abstract Background Worldwide, endometrial carcinoma is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers among women and a considerable cause of death. The aims of this study were to determine the expression of cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) in endometrial adenocarcinoma in imprint smears as an alternative technique and to correlate the results with clinicopathologic parameters of primary untreated endometrial cancer patients. Methods One hundred twenty‐six patients with endometrial carcinoma were...

Abstract Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is an insidious chronic oral and oropharyngeal potentially malignant disorder. Our previously studies reported that DNA image cytometry (ICM) using brushing added in the diagnosis of high‐grade dysplasia and staging of oral leukoplakia (OLK). This preliminary study aimed to investigate the abnormal rate of DNA content in 30 cases of OSF including three cases of OSF concomitant OLK and evaluate their the diagnostic and clinical implications with special emphasis...
