International Journal Publication: Large-scale production and evaluation of marker-free indica rice IR64 expressing phytoferritin genes
For those interested to read our latest publication about iron transporter genes in Rice variety IR64 Oryza sativa entitled: Large-scale production and evaluation of marker-free indica rice IR64 expressing phytoferritin genes.Please click the link and download the pdf file Iron transporter genes. My contribution to this research publication was mainly on gene expression.Thank you for reading.

Endometrial Cancer in a Hypothetical Patient
Hypothetical Patient is XY
54 yo G4P3 (3013)
Pre-op Diagnosis: Endometrial adenocarcinoma secretory type with cervical extension IIA
Operative Findings:
Uterus measures 11x6.5x 3cm
cervix 3.5x3.5x2.5
Right ovary 2x1.5x0.5
Left ovary 2x1x0.5
Right Fallopian tube 8x0.5
Left Fallopian tube 8x0.5
Endocervical canal 2.5cm
UC 8.5
myometrium 2cm
endometrium 0.5cm
obturator nerve (L) 3.5x4x1.0
omentum 10x 8x3cm
Post Operative Diagnosis: Endometrial adenocarcinoma secretory type intraoperative stage IIIC1
Management; Chemotherapy+ Pelvic EBRT+ Brachytherapy
Surgery done: Exploratory laparotomy,Peritoneal fluid cytology, Extrafascial hesterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy, Random peritoneal biopsy,bilateral lymph node dissection, infracolic omentectomy,paraaortic lymph node sampling/CLEA
Infracolic omentectomy was done:
1.) poor histologic type *
2.) ovarian metastasis
3.) serosal extension*( yellowish at the back)
Plan:
Chemotherapy: Carboplatin-Paclitaxel
Notes:
Women who are at high risk for endometrial cancer are those known to carry HNPCC associated
mutations(pedigree showed 3 generations).
"Kadar and associates and Lurain and colleagues noted that positive peritoneal cytology was associated primarily with adverse features such as extrauterine disease and that therapy for positive peritoneal cytology as an isolated finding did not appear to improve survival"-Compre Gyne
