Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Iranian women. According to the new statistics in Iran 6 160 breast cancers are diagnosed in the country each year and 1 063 cases lead to death. In this paper, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment have been investigated. In this study, case-control clinical trials and open studies with adequate data were collected. Due to the higher risk of age group 40-49 years and the advent of advanced breast cancer in Iranian women, the early diagnosis and determination of the exact size of the tumor before surgery is important in choosing a therapy plan. The decision on the therapy of invasive breast cancer depends on several factors such as cancer stage, tumor size and type, pathological and cytological status of the tumor, the patient's opinion, the presence or absence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in the cytoplasm of tumor cells and so on.展开更多

Nevertheless, critical aggravation of hyperthyroidism typically resulted from concurrent disorder. Synchronous management of thyroid storm along with its precipitant, such as infection is recommended. We described the case of an acute biliary pancreatitis complicated with a thyroid storm. The patient was successfully managed with a quick surgical intervention and further critical care for thyroid storm. Although it is widely believed that pancreatitis is seldom concurrent with thyrotoxicosis, thyroid storm can be precipitated by a variety of factors, including intra-abdominal infections such as acute pancreatitis or perforated peptic ulcer. In conclusion, acute pancreatitis in patients with thyrotoxicosis seems to be extremely rare, but such patients should be managed intensively against underlying thyroid disorders as well as pancreatitis.展开更多

Nowadays, it is the 3rd most common reason of bowel obstruction mostly in the Middle East countries, Africa, India, and Russia where average age is younger compared to the west (about 40 to 50). Methods: In this study, patients who referred to Imam Hossein and Firoozgar Hospitals within2014 and 2015were included by the first impression of obstruction and finally diagnosis of sigmoid volvulus that were not in septic shock. After primary survey, routine lab profile, electrolyte correction and resuscitation if needed, the process of choices of patients and terms and conditions were explained for patients. They were prepared for operation after obtaining a written consent. During operation, those who are not necrotic sigmoid and do not have peritonitis undergone primary resection and anastomosis of intestine as suggested by surgeon. Anastomosis has given by 3-0 silk thread separately. Results: Twenty-five patients, 7 females (28 %) and 18 males (72%), underwent primary resection and anastomosis whose age ranged from 18 to 84 (mean 61.5 years, variance 56, 25). Average leukocytes count for our patients once they entered the emergency ward was 8500(with max level of 14/9 and min of 4/1). Two patients had fever after operation. Five patients experienced tachycardia within 24hours after surgery and one patient experienced infectious wound and 2 cases passed away. Conclusions: With regard to the obtained results, examining all aspects of patients is recommended to conduct primary anastomosis. Primary anastomosis is not recommended for patients with multiple underlying diseases considering the longer operation time.展开更多
