This lesions constitutes about 0.5% of all intracranial neoplasms. Thus, the occurrence of a dermoid cyst in the posterior fossa is very rare. We report a rare case of intracranial dermoid cyst in posterior cranial fossa. Case Presentation: Our first case was a 32 years old woman who presented with headaches and dizziness with no nausea, vomiting or fever. CT scan revealed a mass at occipital cistern consistent with a cystic lesion. MRI also revealed an irregular lesion in the posterior part of the medulla oblongata with enhanced edges signifying calcifications. We attained total resection of the tumor in a piece meal approach via surgery. Histopathology confirmed dermoid cyst. Two years follow-up revealed no recurrence of the lesion and no neurological deficits. Conclusion: We advocate that, the goal in surgical decision-making should be safe and total resection while monitoring the cranial nerves with electromyographic and auditory brainstem responses.","PeriodicalId":92322,"journal":{"name":"Advances in bioscience and clinical medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71367437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study, with the aim of better understanding of the causes of death and by taking into account all hospital wards, describes the causes of hospital mortality occurred in Sina educational and clinical hospital of Tabriz, in order to investigate demographic ,clinical and cause of death variables for each disease separately. Method: This study is done by the sectional descriptive method in 2018 in Sina educational and clinical hospital of Tabriz. This hospital is the most important center for admissions of poisoning and burns in the North West of Iran. For this purpose, after obtaining a license, records of all patients who are admitted to hospital since 21 March 2018 until 19 March 2019, were extracted from the archives center in an elective and emergency form. Demographic and clinical variables were extracted from records and recorded in the questionnaire. The sample in counting the mortality occurred during one year was 626 cases according to documentations, that 88 cases were eliminated from study due to containing incomplete information. The data were analyzed by descriptive tests and SPSS18. Findings: The mortality rate in this study was 1%. 56.5% of those who died were male. Most deaths occurred among patients of over 75 years old. Among the under-15 age group the highest mortality rate were for burns. The most common causes of mortality, were, respectively, burns (19.33%), cancer (16.86%), and infectious disease (16.57%) .Most deaths occurred in the special wards. In 61%, chronic and underlying diseases are reported. Conclusion: Since this hospital is the largest and most important teaching hospitals for burns, in the province, the most common causes of death in this study are result of burns. The high percentage of deaths from burns in children and young people shows the importance of informing the dangers of burn for preventing the occurrence of burns and control its effects.","PeriodicalId":92322,"journal":{"name":"Advances in bioscience and clinical medicine","volume":"8 1","pages":"12-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46793774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research examines the relationship between the saliva pH and saliva resistin in the seemingly healthy individuals. In this study 82 patients referring to the Department of Oral Medicine, Faculty of Tabriz Dentistry were examined. Before sampling from the patients with inclusive conditions, their mouths were washed by water and after 15 minutes 5ml of their saliva were collected by drooling in the sterile polyethylene containers. The collected samples were transferred to the laboratory and their pH was measured. Then the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test was performed by specific kit for saliva resistin measuring. The mean value of saliva resistin was 15.60±7.56 and pH mean value was 7.61±0.68. Results showed that about 61% of patients had resistin higher than15 ng/ml. According to the analysis results, 15.9% of patients had pH less than 7 while 57.3% had pH between 7-8 and 26.8% had pH higher than 8. There was a positive relationship between saliva resistin and pH. Since salivary resistin levels vary in response to different clinical conditions, direct relationship between the saliva resistin and pH indicates that pH changes can depict risk factor for specific diseases.","PeriodicalId":92322,"journal":{"name":"Advances in bioscience and clinical medicine","volume":"8 1","pages":"12-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42726493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
