Appendiceal mucinous tumors are rare, with variable malignant potential, and they are usually found incidentally.Clinical symptoms are nonspecific.Rarely, appendiceal mucinous neoplasm causes bowel obstruction and makes diagnosis more difficult.We present a case of an 84-year-old female who came to our emergency department having had abdominal full
Respiratory mode, nasal patency and palatine dimensions
Purpose:To investigate the influence of breathing mode and nasal patency in the dimensions of the hard palate by comparing mouth breathing (MB) and nasal breathing (NB) adults.Methods: Seventy-seven individuals, distributed into the MB group (n=38) and the NB group (n=39), of both genders and aged between 18 and 30 years old, took part in the study
Effects of air pollution on the development and progression of digestive diseases: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses
Abstract Air pollution, especially particulate matter (PM), is one of the most common risk factors for global burden of disease.However, its effect on the risk of digestive diseases is unclear.Herein, we attempt to explore this issue by reviewing the existing evidence from published meta-analyses.We conducted a systematic literature search to ident
Genetic polymorphisms of GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 with prostate cancer risk: a meta-analysis of 57 studies.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 polymorphisms might be involved in inactivation of Markers procarcinogens that contribute to the genesis and progression of cancers.However, studies investigating the association between GSTM1, GSTT1 or GSTP1 polymorphisms and prostate cancer (PCa) risk report conflicting results, therefore, we
