Our study was designed to assess anterior lumbar osteophytes, disc space narrowing, end plate sclerosis, and bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck of elderly men. A total of 1000 men, aged between 71 and 90 years, were invited to participate in the study. BMD was assessed at the spine and femoral neck using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). We examined the relationship with the degree of lumbar spinal and femoral neck deformity by using the Z-score. Lateral and anterioposterior spinal radiographs were evaluated for features of lumbar disc degeneration. The observers consisted of a consultant physical therapist, a radiologist, and anatomists who together studied the series of radiographs. Anterior lumbar osteophytes (grade 0-3), end-plate sclerosis, and disc space narrowing (grade 0-2) were evaluated. The Pearson co...

Group I was sham, Group II was the control group, while Group III was given 10 mg/kg/day (28 days) oral fluvastatin. In Group IV, 10 mg/kg fluvastatin was administered intraperitoneally at the time of laparotomy but the rats died from that dose. After laparotomy on day 14, caecal serosal abrasions and punctuate haemorrhagies were performed. On day 28, laparotomies were repeated. Adhesions were graded and tissue samples were taken from incisions and adhesions. Hydroxyproline contents representing adhesions were measured quantitatively. On the 28th day, blood samples were taken to measure the tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity. There were significant differences between the groups for adhesion severity (p < 0.0001), hydroxyproline content and t-PA activity of the adhe...

The macroscopic appearance generally mimics a gallbladder carcinoma. Twelve cases of xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis were identified from a retrospective analysis of the patient records of 770 cholecystectomy cases operated on in our department from January 1996 to October 2001. There were four men and eight women. Mean age of presentation was 52.5 years. Eleven patients had gallbladder stones. Seven patients had a history of acute cholecystitis and five patients of biliary colicky pain. Five cases were presented with obstructive jaundice and five with acute cholecystitis. Right upper quadrant mass was palpable in three patients. All patients underwent cholecystectomy. Open surgery was planned and performed in three patients. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was planned in nine pati...

A 61-yr-old woman was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain, an umbilical mass, nausea and vomiting. On examination, a large, irreducible umbilical hernia was found. The woman underwent an urgent operation for a possible strangulated hernia. A large, multilocular tumor was found. The tumor was excised, and a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy were performed. The woman was discharged 6 days after her admission. This is the first report of incarcerated umbilical hernia containing a giant ovarian tumor within the sac.

The whirl sign visible in CT images is pathognomonic. The whirl sign is not present in all cases. When no whirl sign is seen, omental torsion is rather difficult to be differantieted radiologically from omental infarct and epiploic appendicitis. The diagnosis of these three entites is clinically important due to their different treatments. We present in this paper an omental torsion case where whirl sign was not present and diagnosis was made by other suggestive CT image findings.

Histologically, almost all of them are adenocarcinomas. Previously, only two cases of signet-ring cell carcinoma of the gallbladder have been published, and little is known about the disease. Here, we present the case of a 76-year-old man with signet cell carcinoma of the gallbladder. Despite radical surgery, followed by 5-fluorouracil infusion chemotherapy, our patient died within 3 months. Advanced information may help to improve the prognosis of this tumour.

Yllmaz et al., (1991) have discussed how the distributions of dissolved and dispersed polyaromatic hydrocarbons measured in the eastern Mediterranean in 1989 were related to the local oceanography and how part of the observed concentrations were derived from phytoplankton.
