To study the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of survival for patients with primary gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (PGI-NHL). ⋯ The pathogenic site and pathological type are risk factors that affect the survival of PGI-NHL patients, and chemotherapy should be given the first priority for patients with primary gastric lymphoma.
-
To evaluate macular choroidal thickness (CT) and retinal thickness in Turkish patients with high myopia without maculopathy and in normal subjects and to examine the association with age, axial length (AL), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), cycloplegic refraction, and spherical equivalent (SE). ⋯ Highly myopic eyes have a thinner choroid, which may be secondary to longer AL but is not an independent factor. Further studies in the field of OCT are important to exploring the pathology of high myopia.
-
To quantify the increase in workload associated with multidisciplinary team meetings for radiologists in a tertiary care hospital over a period of 15 months. ⋯ Multidisciplinary team meetings now represent a significant workload of radiology and has reduced the time for other academic activities within the department.
-
To compare the accuracy and feasibility of methylene blue and nano-carbon in clinical tracing of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). ⋯ The state of PTC lymph nodes can be well evaluated by SLN biopsy using both methylene blue and nano-carbon as tracers, but using nano-carbon has a lower incidence rate of parathyroid injury, with great clinical prospects accordingly.
-
To find out the association of psychological stress with political activism on social networking sites (SNS) in adults. To find association of psychological stress and political activism with age, gender and occupational status. ⋯ Political activism via social networking sites is playing significant role on adult person's mental health in terms of stress among different occupation.
