The analysis of the clinical course of tumor-like formations and ovarian tumors in 40 girls and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years is presented. More frequent development of proliferating tumors was noted. The immediate and long-term results of surgical and combined treatment of these patients have been studied. Practical recommendations for early diagnosis of ovarian tumors and methods of treatment are given.

Long Term Follow Up

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Surgical resection of cranial base meningiomas is often limited owing to involvement of crucial neural structures. Within the last 2 decades Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has gained increasing importance as an adjunct treatment after incomplete resection and as an alternative treatment to open surgery. However, reports of long-term results are still sparse. We therefore performed this study to analyze the long-term results of GKRS treatment of cranial base meningiomas, following our previously published early follow-up experience. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the medical files for Gamma Knife and surgical treatments, clinicoradiological findings, and outcome was carried out focusing on tumor control, clinical course, and morbidity. RESULTS: Between 1992 and 1995, we treated 36 patients with cranial base meningiomas using GKRS (male:female ratio, 1:5; mean age, 59 yr; range, 44–89 yr). Twenty-five patients were treated with GKRS after open surgery, and 11 patients received GKRS alone. Tumor control, neurological outcomes, and adverse effects were analyzed after a long-term follow-up period (mean, 103 mo; range, 70–133 mo) and compared with our previous results after an early follow-up period (mean, 48 mo; range, 36–76 mo). Control of tumor growth was achieved in 94% of patients. Compared with the early follow-up period, the late neuroradiological effects of GKRS on cranial base meningiomas were continuing tumor shrinkage in 11 patients (33%), stable tumor size in 20 patients (64%) and tumor progression in two meningiomas (6%). The neurological status improved in 16 patients (44%), remained stable in 19 patients (52%), and deteriorated in one patient (4%). Adverse side effects of GKRS were found only during the early follow-up period. CONCLUSION: Our data confirm that GKRS is not only a safe and effective treatment modality for cranial base meningiomas in short-term observation, but also in a mean long-term follow-up period of more than 8 years. Tumor shrinkage and clinical improvement also continued during the longer follow-up period.

The introduction of sex therapy two decades ago was accompanied by largely uncritical enthusiasm, with the result that too few careful evaluative studies were conducted. Those that were indicated that a weekly or twice weekly schedule of treatment sessions was best and that treatment by individual therapists was as effective as co-therapy. Some of the major prognostic factors and the long-term results of sex therapy have now been elucidated. Low sexual desire has emerged as a problem for which our now traditional methods of treatment are often inadequate and new therapeutic approaches are required. Current efforts to explore the beliefs and cognitive processes associated with erectile dysfunction are proving rewarding and are likely to enrich therapeutic interventions in the future. Attention should now be paid to the beliefs and cognitions associated with other sexual dysfunctions, both male and female.

AbstractCarcinoma in Situ (CIS) of the glottis is an uncommon and poorly understood condition with few, large, long- term studies. Twelve cases are presented which were treated with radiotherapy. At three-year follow-up all the patients are disease free and in 83 per cent the mucosa has returned to normal. The alternative methods of treatment are discussed.

Issues of locally advanced cancers which involve into the pathological process laryngopharynx and cervical part of esophagus remain to be actual till the present time. Unsatisfactory long-term results lead to the absence of common approaches and clear guidelines on the methods of the treatment choice (radiotherapy, chemoradiation therapy, surgery). Many researchers suppose that the foremost decision is to include surgical component into the treatment schemes of such patients. Main surgical method of the treatment is laryngopharyngectomy or laryngopharyngoesophagectomy. It depends on the extension of cancer. Different kinds of grafts (gastric, jejunal and colon) are used for esophageal reconstrution. The high frequency of complications after surgery, low survival rates are main motives for the search of effective methods of treatment.

The aim of the study was the comparative analysis of treatment for gonarthritis of 0–2 stages by symptomatic therapy (Symptomatic slow acting drugs for osteoarthritis — SYSADOA) and in combination with orthovoltage x-ray therapy (OVRT) within an open randomized study.Material and methods. The study included patients with clinically confirmed gonarthritis. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, each of them was administered a combined SYSADOA glucosamine (500 mg) and chondroitin (400 mg) sulfate, OVRT was prescribed to patients of second group. OVRT was performed on X-ray machine Xstrahl-200, a single dose was 0,45 Gy, in 10 sessions to a total dose of 4,5 Gy. The pain syndrome was evaluated by VAS, WOMAC scales, efficiency of the treatment by OARSI/OMERACT (reduction of VAS and WOMAC by more than 20% of the baseline). Disability and the number of endoprosthesis replacement were also analyzed. Evaluation was performed before, after treatment, 6, 12 and 36 months.Results. There were selected 300 patients, 150 in each group, eight people were lost. By the end of the treatment there were no statistically significant differences in the reduction of pain syndrome evaluating by VAS and WOMAC A. After 6–36 months degree of pain reduction was significantly higher in the OVRT group. After three years in the OVRT group, WOMAC A levels, VAS, VAS 20%, WOMAC A 20% were 21,9, 21,2, 69%, 78%, in the SYSADOA group 53,5, 54,9, 25%, 32%, p<0,0001. In the SYSADOA group, by the end of follow-up, 48 (32,9%) patients had a disability group, 42 (28,8%) underwent endoprosthesis replacement, in the combined treatment group — four and four cases (2,7%), respectively, p<0,0001.Conclusion: there was stable reduction of pain syndrome level among patients underwent OVRT, and improvement of the functional state of the joint, which allows to reduce the frequency of disability and knee endoprosthesis replacement.

therapy for their reliable removal. Standard methods of treatment often give unpredictable results, are accompanied by various complications, and require the use of expensive equipment. AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of intralesional injection of a combination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and betamethasone for the treatment of keloids and hypertrophic scars. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved 26 patients who were divided into two equal groups. Patients in group A received intralesional injections of betamethasone, and those in group B received 5-FU and betamethasone. Three injections were performed with an interval of 3 weeks. The scars were assessed at the beginning of the treatment, on the 3rd and 6th week during the treatment, and 4 and 16 weeks after the end of the treatment. The dynamics of scar condition was evaluated by the average decrease in the scar height and density, changes in subjective sensations, and the presence or absence of complications. RESULTS: At 4 weeks after the end of the therapy, the total effectiveness of reducing the initial scar height was significantly higher in group B (10 patients; 76.9%) than in group A (6; 46.1%). In the comparison of long-term results at 16 weeks after treatment, 92.3% of the patients from group B and 53.8% of the patients from group A showed cessation of scar growth, flattening and softening, diminished itching and pain, smoothing of the scar contour, and a decrease in the color of the border between the scar and surrounding tissues. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of betamethasone with 5-FU is safer and more effective than monotherapy with betamethasone or 5-FU in the treatment of keloid and hypertrophic scars, with a faster and more pronounced decrease in the height and density of the scar, erythema, and subjective sensations. This mode of therapy is characterized by a low relapse rate with prolonged follow-up. The article is of interest to practicing cosmetologists, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons.
