Abstract
AIM To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features and signal characteristics of parotid masses and investigate the added role of texture analysis (TA) in the differentiation of parotid tumours. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-five patients (42 women, 53 men; mean age 51.67±14.15) were included in this study. The study group consisted of 40 pleomorphic adenoma, 45 Warthin's tumour, and 10 mucoepidermoid carcinomas. Two reviewers assessed the MRI sequences retrospectively. Fat-suppressed T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted axial images were used for TA. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to evaluate the ability to make a diagnosis. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the independent risk factors among the MRI features and to analyse the added value of TA to the qualitative analysis. RESULTS Significant differences were found in the tumour border (p<0.001), infiltration of the surrounding tissue (p=0.003), contrast-enhancement grading (p<0.001), perineural spread (p=0.013), and pathological lymph nodes (p<0.001) between the malignant and benign tumours. Kurtosis on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images, and skewness and kurtosis on T2-weighted images were significantly different between the three groups (p=0.020, <0.001, 0.003; respectively). A kurtosis value on T2-weighted images <2.815 along with an ill-defined border had the highest specificity (98.8%) and positive predictive value (83.3%) in the differentiation of malignant tumours. CONCLUSION The addition of TA parameters to the MRI findings may contribute to distinguish benign from malignant parotid tumours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of clinical, demographic and detailed histopathological parameters in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). METHODS A total of 102 patients who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy for a renal mass between 2008 and 2013 were evaluated retrospectively. Fuhrman grade, TNM stage, macroscopic satellite tumor nodule formation, histopathological subtype, renal vein invasion (RVI), necrosis, microvessel invasion (MVI), sarcomatoid differentiation and overall survival (OS) were evaluated to determine prognostic factors. RESULTS The 102 patients consisted of 73 with clear cell tumor, 15 with papillary tumor, 12 with chromophobe tumor and 2 collecting duct RCC cases. A statistically negative relationship was observed between increasing age and OS when the patients were grouped as above and under 40 years of age. There was no statistical relationship between OS and histopathological subtype, adrenal gland invasion, and lymph node metastasis. The risk of death was 10-fold increased in patients with stage 4 tumor compared to patients with stage 1 tumor. Statistically significant macroscopical parameters for OS were satellite tumor nodule presence, Fuhrman grade, tumor size, renal sinus and perinephric fat invasion, distant metastasis, and RVI. The risk of death was 13-fold higher in cases with sarcomatoid differentiation. There was a strong correlation between the presence of a satellite tumor nodule, necrosis, sarcomatoid differentiation and the tumor stage. A statistically negative correlation was observed between OS and the MVI, sarcomatoid differentiation, and necrosis. CONCLUSION We found the Fuhrman grade, tumor size, renal sinus and perinephric fat invasion, distant metastasis, RVI, MVI, sarcomatoid differentiation, necrosis and satellite tumor nodule to be all statistically significant parameters for OS. The addition of other variables to the TNM stage and grade may improve the prediction of outcomes for RCC patients.

Abstract
Fentanyl transdermal patches have long been used in the palliative care of patients with chronic pain with a favorable safety profile. However, intoxications secondary to intentional and unintentional misuse have been widely reported. In this study, we report an otherwise healthy woman presented to emergency department who used three patches of fentanyl to alleviate her knee pain and with a picture mimicking acute coronary syndrome.
