An inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) has been recognized as the cause of hypotonic hyponatremia, and the occurrence of this syndrome, accompanied by an ADH-producing adenocarcinoma in the nasal cavity, is reported. In February, 1987, a 50-year-old male, showing sights of delirium,
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptors T cells (CAR-T) in childhood acute B lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) to probe the prognosis-related factors. Methods: Forty-eight children, 29 boys and 19 girls, aged 3-17years old (median age was 8 years old)
The term lacunae was first used by Dechambre (1838) referring to small cavities developed during the process of resorption within cerebral softenings. Some years later, lacunae was applied by Durand-Fardel (1843) to small cavities located in the basal ganglia and hypothetically attributed to old,
An 84-year-old man, who had received artificial pneumothorax for pulmonary tuberculosis 67 years previously, complained of severe chest pain. Chest CT revealed chronic pyothorax with multiple heterogeneously enhanced cavity lesions in the wall of the right intrathoracic space. 18FDG-PET revealed
Should advanced age be a contraindication to the surgical management of head and neck cancer patients? A retrospective chart review was performed of patients aged ≥80 years treated surgically for a head and neck malignancy during the period 1996-2011 in a tertiary care cancer centre. The average
In an 83-year-old Japanese man, concomitant bleeding colon cancer, early gastric cancer, and an expanding right common iliac artery aneurysm were evident. The patient underwent an artificial graft implantation, partial gastrectomy, and transverse colectomy, simultaneously. To protect against graft
With the population over age 70 growing, treatment for head and neck cancer in the elderly has increased. We retrospectively evaluated their management and outcome. Subjects numbered 121--83 men and 38 women from 70 to 94 years old--initially treated at our hospital. We classified them into 2 groups
Cowden syndrome is a rare syndrome of chromosome abnormalities presenting with polyposis of digestive tracts, characteristic skin eruption and neuromuscular disorders. A 56-year-old male patient with Cowden syndrome underwent upper abdominal surgery under general anesthesia followed by
The old saying 'red as a beet, dry as a bone, blind as a bat, hot as a hare, mad as a hatter' is often quoted when describing the autonomic effects of drugs that block the muscarinic cholinergic system. These effects may be subtle or dramatic, yet can be overlooked or discounted as a natural
A subset of patients with coronavirus 2 disease (COVID-19) experience neurological complications. These complications include loss of sense of taste and smell, stroke, delirium, and neuromuscular signs and symptoms. The etiological agent of COVID-19 is SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome

OBJECTIVE
Laparoscopy has become the gold standard for the treatment of adrenal tumours in urology. We evaluate our experience with laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) in this work.
METHODS
We performed 38 LA between 2003-2008. We use computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the
BACKGROUND
Despite recognition of the high prevalence of alcoholism among patients with head and neck cancer, the prognostic importance of alcoholism has not been evaluated adequately. Previous investigators have speculated that alcoholic patients may have a poorer prognosis than nonalcoholic
We have previously demonstrated safety of G207, a doubly mutated (deletion of both gamma(1)34.5 loci, insertional inactivation of U(L)39) herpes simplex virus (HSV) for patients stereotactically inoculated in enhancing portions of recurrent malignant gliomas. We have now determined safety of two
