Testicular chondrosarcoma

Abstract

A case of primary chondrosarcoma of the testis is reported. A 40-year-old man presented a painless swelling of the right testis that he has been observing for 3 years. Gross examination of the resected specimen showed an encapsulated, gray to tan colored, roughly rounded tumor. Histologically, the tumor revealed a well-differentiated chondrosarcoma.

Effect of argon plasma treatment on hydrophilic stability of nanofiber webs

“…The characteristic peaks for PAN at 2923 cm 21 , 2242 cm 21 , 1733 cm 21 , and 1664 cm 21 are assigned to the stretching vibrations of the ACH, ACBN, AC@O, and AC@N groups, respectively, as shown in Figure 4(B). 11 The presence of the C@O peak implies that residual DMF exists in the PAN nanofibers due to incomplete solvent evaporation during the electrospinning process.…”

“…Organic or inorganic films with the demanded functionalities can also be deposited on the surface by coating methods. [10][11][12][13][14] Some other applications of plasma modification include gas separation, oil-water separation, and self-cleaning and adhesion of surfaces, to name a few. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Polymeric nanofibers are currently one of the most popular and attractive topics for researchers and industry due to their unique physical and chemical characteristics.…”

“…The plasma conditions were selected based on previous work. 11 In summary, a microwave-induced low-vacuum Ar plasma with a stable flow rate developed by the authors was used. A radio frequency of 2.45 GHz, 90-s treatment time, and working pressure of 100 Pa were used for the surface treatment of the nanofiber webs.…”
