It remains evident in the literature that leiomyosarcomas of the bladder have continuously been regarded as highly aggressive tumors associated with a poor prognosis. Immediate surgical therapy by radical cystectomy with wide margins is warranted as an effective treatment modality and has been associated with longer survival rates. Herein, we present the case of a high-grade leiomyosarcoma primarily treated with anterior pelvic exenteration and urinary diversion.

Intracranial Lesions

Background: Radiation Therapy (RT) is an established treatment option for benign intracranial lesions. The aim of this study is to display an update on the role of RT concerning the most frequent benign brain lesions and tumors. Methods: Published articles about RT and meningiomas, Vestibular Schwannomas (VSs), Pituitary Adenomas (PAs), Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) and craniopharyngiomas were reviewed and extracted data were used. Results: In meningiomas RT is applied as an adjuvant therapy, in case of patientrefusing surgery or in unresectable tumors. The available techniques are External Beam RT (EBRT) and stereotactic ones such as Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), Fractionated Stereotactic RT (FSRT), Intensity Modulated RT (IMRT) and proton-beam therapy. The same indications are considered in PAs, in which SRS and FSRT achieve excellent tumor control rate (92-100%), acceptable hormone remission rates (>50%) and decreased Adverse Radiation Effects (AREs). Upon tumor growth or neurological deterioration, RT emerges as alone or adjuvant treatment against VSs, with SRS, FSRT, EBRT or protonbeam therapy presenting excellent tumor control growth (>90%), facial nerve (84-100%), trigeminal nerve (74-99%) and hearing (>50%) preservation. SRS poses an effective treatment modality of certain AVMs, demonstrating a 3-year obliteration rate of 80%. Lastly, a combination of microsurgery and RT presents equal local control and 5-year survival rate (>90%) but improved toxicity profile compared to total resection in case of craniopharyngiomas. Conclusion: RT comprises an effective treatment modality of benign brain and intracranial lesions. By minimizing its AREs with optimal use, RT projects as a potent tool against such diseases.

Effective Treatment Modality

This article represents the work for searching new and effective treatment modality for chronic forms of periodontitis with application of the antibiotic doxycycline, antifungal agent clotrimazole and glucocorticosteroid triacortum.It was made the clinical judgement of treatment of 150 patients with chronic apical periodontitis. It was indicated an improvement of microcirculation in periodontitis tissue by Lazer Doppler flowmetry method by those patients who received therapy using proposed method of treatment and set of medication.

Neuropathic Foot

The treatment of diabetic foot ulcerations has been a difficult task for podiatrists. Numerous methods and materials have been used in an attempt to alleviate this frustrating and complex treatment dilemma. However, there is one treatment method that has been used successfully for decades on plantar ulcerations of the neuropathic foot. Total contact casting has been an easily applicable and effective treatment modality for neuropathic ulcerations of the diabetic foot.
