Item Brain metastasis from esophageal carcinoma.(2004-12-01) Almasi, Saeid; Bashashati, Mohammad; Rezaei, Nima; Markazi-Moghaddam, NaderBrain metastasis from esophageal carcinoma is rare. In our center, among 301 cases of esophageal cancer referred for radiotherapy during a 14-year period, brain metastasis from esophageal carcinoma was detected in one case. An unusual case of esophageal carcinoma that presented with brain metastasis is reported.Item Butachlor-induced acute toxic hepatitis.(2007-05-21) Daryani, Nasser Ebrahimi; Hosseini, Parviz; Bashashati, Mohammad; Haidarali, Mona; Sayyah, AlirezaButachlor is a highly effective herbicidal substance widely used by farmers. We report a 60-year-old man with exfoliative dermatitis, jaundice, increase in liver enzymes and eosinophilia one day after accidental dermal exposure to butachlor toxin. The diagnostic workup showed no other cause and liver histology was consistent with substance-induced toxic hepatitis. Within two weeks of conservative therapy, his liver function tests returned to normal.Item Irritable bowel syndrome: an epidemiological study from the west of Iran.(2005-09-20) Ghannadi, Koorosh; Emami, Ramin; Bashashati, Mohammad; Tarrahi, Mohammad-Javad; Attarian, ShahrokhItem Relationship between serum alanine aminotransferase levels and liver histology in chronic hepatitis C-infected patients.(2005-03-10) Dor-Mohammadi, Taraneh; Daryani, Nasser Ebrahimi; Bashashati, Mohammad; Hashtrudi, Ali-Asad; Haghpanah, Babak; Sayyah, Ali-Reza; Shakiba, MadjidBACKGROUND: The efficacy of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in predicting the severity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To compare histologic scoring of liver pathology in patients with chronic HCV infection with normal or elevated serum ALT. METHODS: Liver biopsies were performed in patients with HCV infection and either normal (n=40) or elevated (n=76) serum ALT levels, and scored for activity and fibrosis using the modified histological activity index. RESULTS: Patients with normal ALT and elevated ALT had similar demographic features. Median (range) histological activity grade was higher in patients with elevated ALT than in those with normal ALT (6 [1-15] vs. 5 [0-11], respectively; p=0.001), as was the fibrosis stage (2 [0-6] vs. 1[0-6]; p=0.02). Two patients with normal ALT and 4 with elevated ALT had liver cirrhosis. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with chronic HCV infection, liver lesions are milder in those with normal serum ALT levels than those with abnormal ALT levels. However, some patients with normal ALT too may have advanced liver disease.Item Severity of progression of liver disease in chronic hepatitis C: role of smoking.(2006-05-01) Daryani, Naser Ebrahimi; Hashtroudi, Ali Asad; Sayah, Alireza; Pursamimi, Parisa; Bashashati, Mohammad; Shakiba, Madjid
