Background. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of bone is a relatively new technique that appears to assess 'bone quality' in addition mineral density. The purpose this study was evaluate the diagnostic potential QUS calcaneum and correlate it with dual energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DEXA) chronic haemodialysis patients.

Background Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is widely used for operations, and day by it becomes routine the excision of undetermined pulmonary nodules. However, sometimes hard to reach millimetric nodules through a VATS incision. Therefore, some additional techniques were developed such little in size which are settled on challenging localization. In literature, coils, hook wires, methylene blue, lipidol, barium staining, also ultrasound guidance described this aim. Herein we discuss...

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are direct communications between the branches of pulmonary arteries and veins. This study evaluates surgically treated cases malformations.We retrospectively examined 41 PAVM that were operated in our clinic 1995 2012. We obtained clinical, radiological, surgical data patients from their files.The comprised 27 males 14 females. Their mean age at diagnosis was 39.8 years (range: 9-71). The symptoms hemoptysis 28 cases, dyspnea five, cough three,...

Aim: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) increases the risk of thromboembolic events (TEEs). In this retrospective study, we aimed to determine rate TEEs in MPM and investigate its relationship with presence thrombocytosis, disease stage, tumor histopathology. Methods: The study included 178 patients who were histopathologically diagnosed as between years January 2008 June 2014. Results: mean age was 58.7 ± 11.8 years, median follow-up time 8 months. Seventy-one (39.9%) had thrombocytosis...

Behçet's disease is a chronic multisystemic vasculitis affecting vessels of different sizes in various organs. Thoracic manifestations the show wide spectrum involving variety anatomic structures within chest. However, pulmonary artery involvement typical manifestation that contributes significantly to mortality patients. The study aimed analyze CT features thoracic manifestations, particularly involvement, and quantitatively assess bronchial arteries disease.Patients with who underwent...

Attempts for right and left subclavian vein catheterizations were unsuccessful in a patient followed pre-eclampsia. Meanwhile, the developed chest pain dyspnea. Chest radiography revealed mediastinal widening. Later, haematoma was diagnosed by thoracic computed tomography. At 28 days follow-up, resorbed. A review of literature very few cases secondary to catheterization. In all these resorbed, usually within one week. Mediastinal is rare complication its resolution after several weeks adds rarity.

Sea-blue histiocytosis is one of the six types Niemann-Pick disease. It characterized by childhood onset hepatosplenomegaly, lack neurological involvement and diminished sphingomyelinase activity. Pulmonary system rarely involved sea-blue histiocytosis. In this paper, we present a 39-years-old male who had previously diagnosed as at age 15. He was admitted to our clinic due productive cough, hemoptysis, fever weight loss. His symptoms did not resolve with antibiotic treatment further...

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate atherosclerosis as comorbidity by measuring the carotid (bulb and common artery) Carotid intima-media thickness in COPD-diagnosed patients relationship of with prevalence COPD, hypoxemia hypercapnia. Methods was conducted out between January 2019-December 2019 consisting a total 140 participants (70 patients-70 healthy individuals). The have been planned according selection diagnosis criteria per GOLD guide. It is prospective matching...

<title>Abstract</title> Background Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an inflammatory fibrotic disease that affects the lung parenchyma and small airways. Aims Our study aimed to evaluate clinical radiological features of patients with HP diagnosis in follow-up. Study Design: A retrospective cross-sectional study. Methods included 100 diagnosed who were managed our clinic between 2020 2024. Clinical data, comorbidities, pulmonary function test-carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (PFT-DLCO)...

Consolidation/tumour (C/T) ratio means the maximum diameter of consolidation is divided by tumour and it predictive for pathologic subtypes prognosis after resection tumour. The purpose this study to clarify impact C/T along with standardized uptake value (SUV) in pathological stage I lung adenocarcinoma.Only patients adenocarcinoma diagnosed were included. Prognostic SUVmax analysed using regression analyses.Totally 156 (121 males, 35 females) evaluated retrospectively. Overall survival...

PurposeTo evaluate the effect of anterior chamber continuous infusion maintainer system on contamination in phacoemulsification surgery.MethodsClear corneal surgery was performed 132 eyes randomly selected patients with cataract who were divided into two groups 66 according to use an (ACM) system. The fluid specimens taken from beginning and at end surgery. They transferred under anaerobic conditions investigated by culturing onto blood agar thiogluconate broth media. Differences between...

Pulmonary artery (PA) sarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor of pulmonary artery. It often misdiagnosed as thromboembolism (PTE) because its clinical and imaging features which are quite similar to PTE. Multimodality diagnostic recognition specific characteristics with appropriate suspicion required make correct diagnosis. In this report, we present a case PA well emphasize significance using multimodality imaging.

Background: Coelomic cysts are uncommon benign cyctic lesions of the mediastinum. Complete resection cyst with surgical treatment is indicated depending on whether patient symptomatic or grows during follow-up, diagnosis uncertain. Surgical prevents complications, relieves symptoms, and establishes diagnosis. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) best method for excision these cysts. This approach safe effective, has low morbidity, shortens length hospital stay Objectives: We aimed to...

Aim: The shape and physical properties of the anterior mediastinum can be easily affected by inflammatory lung diseases, tuberculosis, empyema, radiotherapy, chronic fibrotic previous surgery, after steroid therapy. We planned to compare mediastinal fat (AMF) in 3 different groups: patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), hypersensitivity pneumonia (cHP), healthy control group. investigate AMF shape, dimensions, area on images high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) find any...

Background/Aim: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is a lung disease from inhaling diverse environmental and occupational organic substances, such as fungi, bacteria, birds, occasionally nonorganic materials. An immune response triggers this condition. A high-resolution chest computed tomography (HRCT) scan typically performed part of the initial diagnostic assessment. This study assesses HRCT findings in HP patients examines associated factors between fibrotic non-fibrotic patient groups....
