Despite increasing acceptance of endovascular coiling for treating anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms, anterior circulation cerebral infarction (ACI) after embolization remains a limitation. With higher incidence, higher morbidity and higher mortality, it is one of the main factors influencing the ACoA aneurysms prognosis. Determining the risk factors leading to ACI after embolization will have clinical significance. Through retrospective case analysis, this study investigated the risk factors related to ACI after embolization in order to provide information to serve the clinical practice. ⋯ Modified Fisher grade is an independent risk factor for ACI after embolization.

The beneficial effect of using nonacetylated salicylates such as salsalate on decreasing the speed of diabetes progression is a controversial issue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of salsalate on metabolic-syndrome-associated parameters as well as the endothelial function of diabetic and impaired glucose tolerance patients. ⋯ The study showed that salsalate decreased FBS levels of patients. It may also improve endothelial function as FMD increased significantly in the intervention group.

Bicornuate uterus has two symmetric uterine cavities that are fused caudally and have some degree of communication between two cavities, usually at the uterine isthmus. A complete bicornuate uterus has a seperatory cleft of tissue that is extended to the internal OS. Lesser degree of septation of the two uterine horns has constitution, a partial bicornuate uterus. ⋯ In sonography it revealed bicornuate uterus and hematocolpos. The patient underwent general anesthesia and examination that reveal the transverse vaginal septum. Septum removed by resectoscope was successful.

Leishmaniasis is a widespread tropical infection, which has a high incidence rate in Iran. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) are two forms of this disease. In this study, we investigated if selenium (Se), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) levels differ in different forms of leishmaniasis. ⋯ Based on these results, serum Se and Zn levels could be a useful marker for the pathophysiology of leishmaniasis.
