Primary peritoneal carcinoma (PPC) is a rare cancer arising from the extraovarian peritoneum and is of müllerian origin. PPC and epithelial ovarian carcinoma share similar clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features. Clinical symptoms and findings include abdominal distension and ascites. We experienced 2 cases of PPC which initially presented with cervical lymphadenopathy. Here, we report the 2 cases and review the literature.
We report a rare case of esophageal intramural pseudodiverticulosis (EIPD) associated with esophageal web in a 67-year-old man presenting with dysphagia. EIPD is characterized by multiple tiny flask-shaped outpouchings of the mucosa that extend into the muscular layer on esophagography. EIPD commonly presents with stricture and less commonly with esophageal web. Although etiologies of both EIPD and esophageal web are unclear, a chronic inflammatory condition has been proposed. Treatment of EIPD is usually directed at the associated conditions rather than at the pseudodiverticulosis itself. In our case, dysphagial was successfully relieved by endoscopic dilatation with incision methods for the esophageal web.
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Actinomyces sp. and Bacillus sp., UnitedStates granular microorganisms and Japan granular microorganisms on turfgrass growth and thatch decomposing of creeping bentgrass in golf course by measuring turf color index, chlorophyll index, thatch content of soil, root length, turf density and chemical properties and thatch content of soil.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
