Magnetic resonance imaging in assessment of liver lesions in patients with extrahepatic primary cancer

Background: Liver imaging is commonly undertaken in patients with cancer history because, after lymph nodes, the liver is the most frequently involved organ by metastases
Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of liver MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) in characterization and detection of liver lesion in patients with extrahepatic primary
Methods: this is a cross sectional study of 70 patients with extrahepatic liver primary cancer who had their treatment in oncology teaching hospital underwent routine abdominal ultrasound to detect liver lesion(s) and suspicious cases then referred to MRI which was done in Ghazi Alharri and oncology teaching hospital from the period from 1st of September 2015 to end of November 2016, the patients age range from 31 to 75 years
Results: hemangioma is the most common solitary liver lesion in patients with extrahepatic primary cancer which represent 27% of lesions detected followed by simple cyst which represent 13% of the lesions, in another hand solitary metastasis seen in 7% of solitary lesions while metastasis is the leading cause behind multiple hepatic lesions and represent about 38% of lesions seen ,unlike solitary lesions, hemangioma is a rare cause and seen in 7% of cases
Conclusion: MRI is a required adjuvant tool in evaluation of suspicious liver lesion ,its value was illustrated in characterization and diagnosis of liver lesions depending on their appearance in T1 ,T2 and fat suppression T2 sequences in addition to assess their enhancement pattern after dynamic IV( intravenous) contrast injection.

الخلفية: يتم عمل تصوير الكبد عادة للمرضى الذين يعانون من السرطان، لأنه العضو الأكثر اصبابة بانتشار السرطان بعد العقد الليمفاوية.

المقدمة: الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو تقييم دور تصوير الكبد بالرنين المغناطيسي في كشفو توصيف افات الكبد في المرضى الذين يعانون من سرطان اولي خارج الكبد.

المرضى والطرق: هذة هي دراسة مقطعية ل 70 مريضا يعانون من سرطان اولي خارج الكبد والذين كان علاجهم في مستشفى الأورام التعليمي في مدينة الطب ثم خضعوا لفحص الرنين المغناطيسي في مستشفى الشهيد غازي الحريري  ومستشفى الأورام خلال الفترة من 1 سبتمبر 2015 إلى نهاية نوفمبر 2016 وهم من الفئة العمرية بين  31-75 عاما.

النتائج: يمثل الورم وعائي الدموي الأكثر شيوعا من الاورام الانفرادية في الكبد في المرضى الذين يعانون من سرطان خارج الكبد والتي تمثل 27٪ من الآفات اكتشفت يليه كيس بسيط والذي يمثل 13٪ من الآفات الانفرادية المكتشفة، من جهة أخرى انتشار الورم الاولي الوحيد يمثل 7٪ من الآفات الانفرادية، والعكس تماما حيث يكون السبب الرائد وراء الآفات الكبدية المتعددة ويمثل حوالي 38٪ من آفة الكبدد المتعددة ، في حين اخر ان الأورام الوعائية تمثل 7٪ من الحالات المتعددة.

الاستنتاجات: الرنين المغناطيسي هو أداة مساعدة ومطلوبة في تقييم الآفة الكبد المشبوهة، وتتجلى قيمته في توصيف وتشخيص آفات الكبد اعتمادا على مظهرهم في مقاطعT1 ، T2، ومقاطع T2قمع الدهون بالإضافة إلى تقييم نمط اخذها للصبغة بعد الحقن في الوريد والذي يسمي بالفحص الديناميكي .

Study of Certain Biomarkers in Iraqi Female Patients with Breast Cancer

The prospective study has been designed to determine some biomarkers in Iraqi female patients with
breast cancer. The current study contained 30 patients whose tissue samples have been collected from
hospitals in Medical City in Baghdad after consent patients themselves and used immunohistochemical
technique to determine these markers. The results showed a significant correlation between ER and PR tissue
markers (Sig = 0.000) and a significant correlation between cyclin E phenotype and cyclin E intensity (Sig =
0.001).

Serum interleukin 1 and interleukin 10 levels in Iraqi leukemic patients with hepatitis G virus infection.

Background:

Objectives : This prospective   study aimed to  estimate interleukins 1 and 10  levels in acute  hepatitis (G) in Iraqi patients with leukemiaHepatitis G virus and GB virus C (GBV-C)  RNA viruses that were independently identified in 1995, and were subsequently found to be two isolates of the same virus. Blood transfusion is the main risk factor for HGV transmission Immune-mediated mechanisms are believed to play an important pathogenic role in  hepatitis G virus infection. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays an important role in the inflammatory process. implying that IL-1 may play a role in viral clearance and  suggesting that IL-1 has direct antiviral

Relationship between liver iron concentration determined by R2-MRI, serum ferritin, and liver enzymes in patients with thalassemia intermedia

4 Blood Res 2018;53:314-319. Received on August 11, 2018 Revised on August 30, 2018 Accepted on August 30, 2018 Background Iron overload is a risk factor affecting all patients with thalassemia intermedia (TI). We aimed to determine whether there is a relationship of serum ferritin (SF) and alanine ami- notransferase (ALT) with liver iron concentration (LIC) determined by R2 magnetic reso- nance imaging (R2-MRI), to estimate the most relevant degree of iron overload and best time to chelate in patients with TI. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 119 patients with TI (mean age years) were randomly se- lected and compared with 120 patients who had a diagnosis of thalassemia major (TM). Correlations of LIC, as determined by R2-MRI, with SF

Estimation of Liver Enzymes and Total Bilirubin Level in the sera of patients infected with liver hydatid cysts

This study included 46 patients with liver hydatid cyst diagnosed clinically and surgically. Control group consist of 22 healthy volunteers. The patients were divided according to the size of the cysts into more and less than 5 cm diameter size, 33 and 13, respectively. Also they were divided into primary and secondary hydatid cyst infection, 30 and 16, respectively. Significant increase of GOT, GPT and ALP levels were recorded due to hydatid cyst infection and had direct effect on the liver function, beside an increase in total bilirubin in patients serum compared with the control, also the same occurred in the secondary infection compared with primary infection, patients with> 5 cm showed significant increase in the above levels compared
